Baba vs Mirage

Mystic vs Assassin

Keep your CC for their dive. One stun on an assassin is usually a kill for your team.

Your game plan as Baba

A chaotic hex-caster who turns fights into a mess of silences, slows and stolen Spirit.

How to beat Mirage

A traveller who keeps fights alive with scarabs and arrives where you least expect.

• 01Interrupt Traveler with damage; it cancels.
• 02Watch for Mirage arriving from nowhere.
• 03Anti-heal against scarab lifesteal.

1. 01Mirage wins the farm by ~19.5 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Mirage denies ~1.2 more orbs per match — secure your orbs before they can.
3. 03Mirage looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
