Warden vs Pocket

Pocket escapes into Enchanter’s Satchel when threatened. Don’t throw Binding Word into it. Wait until he comes out, then curse him.

Brawler vs Assassin

You have the health; they have the burst. Make them fight you long — every second past their first combo is in your favour. Buy defensive items early and stay near allies.

Your game plan as Warden

A one-man army who walks into six and dares them to fight.

How to beat Pocket

A trickster who hides in a suitcase and then hits you with a shotgun.

• 01Wait out Enchanter’s Satchel instead of wasting abilities into it.
• 02Affliction can’t kill you — don’t panic-use cooldowns.
• 03Shoot the Flying Cloak path; he’ll teleport there.

1. 01Pocket wins the farm by ~6.4 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Pocket looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Your own sustain (Last Stand) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
