How Pocket beats Kelvin
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 Kelvin
A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.
- 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
- 02Kill him on the ground; Ice Path is his escape.
- 03Burst through his heals with anti-heal.
