How Billy beats Pocket
Brawler vs Assassin
You have the health; they have the burst. Make them fight you long — every second past their first combo is in your favour. Buy defensive items early and stay near allies.
Your game plan as Billy
A punk with a bat who turns every melee hit into ammo and every fight into a brawl.
Lane
Melee is your weapon: Blasted refunds ammo on melee hits. Rising Ram has half cooldown on impact, so land it and it’s back fast.
Mid game
Dive the backline with Rising Ram, Bashdown anyone who flies, and keep swinging.
Late game
Chain Gang ties a group to you, and while chained they can’t use movement abilities. Land it in the middle of their team with your follow-up nearby.
How to beat Pocket
A trickster who hides in a suitcase and then hits you with a shotgun.
- 01Wait out Enchanter’s Satchel instead of wasting abilities into it.
- 02Affliction can’t kill you — don’t panic-use cooldowns.
- 03Shoot the Flying Cloak path; he’ll teleport there.
