How Pocket beats Haze

Assassin vs Assassin

Assassin mirrors are decided by who sees the other first. Track their cooldowns and never commit while their escape is up.

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 Haze

The one-sided exchange. Haze wants to shoot you while you can’t shoot back.

  • 01Hold a stun for Bullet Dance. Any reliable CC ends it.
  • 02Enemies close to Haze can see through Smoke Bomb, so stay near teammates.
  • 03Pressure her lane early; Haze is weakest before her items.
