How Pocket beats Warden

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 Warden

  • 01Move when Binding Word is cast; it only immobilises if you stay.
  • 02Interrupt Last Stand during its 2-second charge.
  • 03Kite him; Willpower is his only escape.
