Deadlock Pocket Build: Best Items and Abilities

Pocket stands out in Deadlock as a highly mobile hero whose movement-oriented kit can create frustrating experiences for opponents when properly utilized. However, many players struggle with his unique mechanics, particularly his limited ammunition capacity that makes last-hitting minions challenging during laning phase. This comprehensive build guide provides strategic insights to transform Pocket from a difficult hero into a battlefield dominator.

Important Note: You can locate this specific build configuration in Deadlock by searching for ‘Beebom Pocket Build‘ (ID: 168259) within the Public Builds section. Feel free to use our guide directly or customize it through the game’s Browse Build interface to match your preferred playstyle.

Pocket’s signature limitation is his constrained ammo bar, which frequently causes players to miss crucial last hits on lane minions. To counter this, immediately acquire Ammo Scavenger and prioritize Mystic Shot to significantly improve your farming capabilities. For players who prefer aggressive early engagements, Cold Front serves as the ideal complementary item for your satchel charges.

During the initial laning phase, supplement your core items with Enduring Spirit to enhance early survivability while combining it with Extra Stamina for improved mobility. Adding Mystic Reach extends your ability ranges, substantially increasing both escape potential and engagement opportunities when using your cloak ability.

When facing particularly challenging lanes, consider picking up either Extra Regen or Healing Rite to sustain through difficult matchups. These items can be sold later in the game to free up valuable inventory slots for more powerful late-game equipment.

The mid-game phase represents where Pocket truly begins scaling into a formidable force. Your core damage amplification items—Enchanter’s Barrier, Soul Shredder Bullets, and Mystic Vulnerability—work synergistically to provide substantial bonus spirit damage and damage amplification from the earliest engagements. To establish effective ganks and surprise your opponents, acquire Veil Walker immediately following your core damage items.

Diviner’s Kevlar significantly boosts your shield capacity and spirit power, particularly when initiating combat with your ultimate ability. This item perfectly complements Pocket’s kit dynamics. Before transitioning into the late game, secure Improved Cooldown to increase your ability usage frequency.

Prioritize obtaining Arcane Surge and Superior Cooldown during the mid-to-late game transition for enhanced damage output and enemy pressure. Based on your preferred playstyle, you can apply the cooldown reduction to either your satchel or barrage abilities. If encountering significant resistance, opt for Unstoppable first to improve survivability.

After securing your first three core items, consider upgrading your range with Improved Reach or acquiring Improved Burst while maintaining a flexible slot for situational items. Warp Stone and Superior Stamina provide additional movement versatility that synergizes exceptionally well with your existing abilities.

When comfortably surviving team fights, transition into Spellslinger Headshots and Spiritual Overflow to inflict dramatically increased spirit damage and amplification. Against enemy teams that cluster closely together, prioritize Escalating Exposure and witness opponents rapidly disintegrate from your ultimate ability. Leech ensures adequate survivability throughout the late game phase.

Mastering Pocket requires understanding several advanced techniques beyond basic item builds. One common mistake is using your movement abilities too aggressively without proper vision, leaving you vulnerable to counter-ganks. Always ensure you have escape routes planned before engaging, and coordinate with your team to maximize the effectiveness of your ultimate ability against clustered enemies.

For players seeking additional defensive options, consider these situational items that can be swapped based on specific matchups:

Remember that successful Pocket play revolves around timing and positioning rather than raw damage output. Your mobility should be used to create advantageous engagements and escape unfavorable ones, making you an elusive and frustrating target for opponents throughout all game phases.
