Avoid Barrage’s projectiles so Pocket cannot build damage amplification from repeated hero hits. Watch the route of Flying Cloak and keep clear of Enchanter’s Satchel’s exit explosion. Pocket can wait before teleporting to the cloak. While Pocket is targetable, land repeated Screwjab Dagger hits on one enemy to increase its damage and slow.
Watch whether Pocket actually teleports to Flying Cloak before following. Stand outside Enchanter’s Satchel’s explosion and wait until Pocket emerges before attacking. Apply Lethal Venom to Pocket, then land a direct Petrifying Bola hit to hold them. Venom can damage them while petrified; save ordinary gun and Screwjab Dagger damage until the protection ends.
Leave space between allies before Pocket reaches you with Affliction. Fully upgraded Affliction prevents healing. Protect affected teammates from follow-up attacks. Apply Lethal Venom to Pocket, then land a direct Petrifying Bola hit to hold them. Venom can damage them while petrified; save ordinary gun and Screwjab Dagger damage until the protection ends.
