How to play Mirage

Mirage can envelop himself in a violent tornado to catch up to enemies and lift them up. His scarabs help him sustain against multiple enemies, and he's always ready to help an ally or punish an enemy anywhere.

Winning Mirage players open with Mystic Regeneration and Monster Rounds, spike in the mid game with Mystic Vulnerability and Compress Cooldown and close it out with Escalating Exposure or Ricochet.

Late game
Dust Devil lifts and slows everyone in a line. Use it to start a fight or to get out of one.

How to beat Mirage

  • Interrupt Traveler with damage; it cancels.
  • Watch for Mirage arriving from nowhere.
  • Anti-heal against scarab lifesteal.

Respect Traveler. Punish when he lands from Dust Devil.
