Overview

Pocket is great at getting in and getting out while doing impressive burst damage. This build focuses on amplifying those traits by maxing Barrage first.

Early Game

Pocket works a bit differently now than before, we will look to clear the wave with our 2 and Mystic Burst and focus on staying alive.
I recommend buying Healing Rite early.
Look to buy Cold Front next; this is a classic Pocket item that gives him amazing burst damage and a quick jungle clear.
After that, buy Extra Spirit and Improved Spirit, then 800 Mystic Expansion to hit your 4.8k spike.

Mid Game

In the mid game I recommend saving up for Superior Cooldown and eventually Transcendent Cooldown this will enable our cultist sacrifice to have 100% uptime and drastically buff our Cold Front and Majestic Leap. Pocket's kit has great damage by itself so cooldown is actually the best buy to increase our uptime
Next, I like to buy Greater Expansion and Tankbuster.
Majestic Leap is a great item that provides excellent mobility for engaging, while Tankbuster gives us a lot more burst damage.
Superior Cooldown and Warp Stone are also great mid-game items to pick up.
At this point, feel free to sell items like Restorative Shot and Healing Rite if you need the item slots.

Late Game

Diviner's Kevlar, Spirit Burn and Ethereal Shift are our best 6k items for Pocket. Try and think of what you would need in your specific matchups, but none of them are ever bad.
If we have extra gold and no slots upgrading to Arctic Blast or Boundless Spirit can be worthwhile
