Restorative Locket
replace enchanters with you if you want
Reactive Barrier

8rare buysoptional
Author's category · 16 items · SELL ORDER - mystic vuln, cultist, enchanters, mystic shot
Rebuttal
lowk this is kinda an ego buy on pocket, but if youre in a perma burger box it can surprise a lot of people. use your case to stall the parry cooldown.
Close Quarters
read point blank
Healbane
very rare sub for enchanters, only get if no one else on your team has it for some reason (chances are they should)
9do not buyoptional
Author's category · 6 items · read!
Metal Skin
just get warp stone! or dispel! one of those two will fix your issue, this item is horrible on pocket
Spirit Resilience
goes for either resiliance tbh. you dont really need bullet res as pocket (warp stone should be all you need!), and if you need lategame spirit res just commit to spellbreaker, it will be worth
Ballistic Enchantment

rare buy but its goated in games where youre the only dude putting in the work and your life alone determines wider macro
Spiritual Overflow
best gun t4
Diviner's Kevlar
item buffs were very kind to pocket
Counterspell
flex on em. you should know what to buy this for
Warp Stone
sub for majestic leap against certain characters (haze, infern, vic, etc.), or if you like perma fighting
Stamina Mastery
if i dont need any of the other greens, i usually get this. i like moving!
Swift Striker
i prefer mystic but whatev
Suppressor
rare sub for mystic vuln against an incredibly gun-heavy team
Slowing Hex
lash/celeste/mina. generally someone else on the team will likely buy it, but if they dont! (having 2 slowing hexes doesnt hurt either when everyone gets dispel now)
Point Blank
Built from Close Quarters
sub for cultist if youre behind/always fighting
Crippling Headshot
if no one else on your team has shred, this is kinda essential. very good for victor
Magic Carpet
magic carpet
Refresher
vs. victor or like 2+ divine barriers
Leech
if you REALLY need that uptime in lategame after pressing 4. generally i just go diviners or cheat death, though.
Infuser
alternative for leech, but you like never have the active slots for this lmao
Phantom Strike
this item is fucking hilarious on pocket if you can get it to work. teleport in on their frontline, press 4, and leave
Unstoppable
mo/krill or curse. if high elo against a mo, rush this at like 25k minimum, they will hatecrime you
Indomitable
Built from Reactive Barrier
echo shard haze isnt a problem anymore so this item kinda fucking sucks on pocket now. only get vs a curse you cant see coming. otherwise please just get unstop
Spellbreaker
calico/mina/mirage
Built from Mystic Expansion
if you want a more dps-focused gun t3 for pocket, just get point blank. you dont need 50 different damage amps, you already shred with this build
Juggernaut
one of the worst items in the game for the price, you get more value with stam mastery at half the price
Escalating Exposure
Built from Mystic Vulnerability
please for the love of god never get this horrible item. you get more value out of every other t4 purple. stop buying this on pocket please. the amp is only for yourself, not for your team.
Plated Armor
contender for worst t4 on pocket
