How Pocket beats Lady Geist

Assassin vs Mystic

Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.

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 Lady Geist

A blood-mage who spends her own health to take yours.

  • 01Pressure her when she’s low from her own abilities.
  • 02Break Life Drain’s line of sight.
  • 03Stay healthy near her when Soul Exchange is up; it’s worth less against low-health targets.
