Early Game

Start with Headshot Booster and Close Quarters to farm efficiently in lane, as Pocket's gun has low base damage. Buy Enduring Spirit if struggling in lane, otherwise prioritize Mystic Burst for stronger poke, using it with cloak and satchel. Aim to save for Mystic Shot for enhanced poke and kill potential, scaling well with Barrage's damage amp. Mystic Reach can help if you're having trouble. To roam effectively, buy Extra Stamina and Sprint Boots for better mobility.

Mid Game

Pick up Kinetic Dash and Cold Front for a significant power spike, then look to roam and gank to extend your lead. For survivability, add Enchanters Barrier and Spirit Lifesteal. The core items provide enough strength to save for a 3k item, either Majestic Leap or Warp Stone. Warp Stone is often preferred for its added mobility and damage potential.

Late Game

Upgrade to Improved Burst and Enduring Speed. Ethereal Shift provides an exit strategy after Pocket's initial burst, pairing well with Warp Stone. Choose between Divine Kevlar or Phantom Strike as luxury items based on enemy composition. For teams with flying characters or weapon carries like Haze and Wraith, Phantom Strike is recommended over Divine Kevlar.
