How Pocket beats Grey Talon

Assassin vs Mystic

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.
