How Pocket beats Billy

Assassin vs Brawler

Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.

Your game plan as Pocket

A trickster who hides in a suitcase and then hits you with a shotgun.

Lane
Barrage slows and stacks; Flying Cloak lets you teleport to it.
Mid game
Enchanter’s Satchel makes you untargetable. Hop in to dodge key abilities, then punish.
Late game
Affliction damages everyone nearby; it can’t kill, so follow it with burst.

How to beat Billy

A punk with a bat who turns every melee hit into ammo and every fight into a brawl.

  • 01Keep him off you; Billy wants melee range for everything.
  • 02Don’t pull against Chain Gang; straining the chain slows you hard.
  • 03Bait Rising Ram, then fight while it’s on full cooldown.
