How Mirage beats Apollo
Assassin vs Assassin
Assassin mirrors are decided by who sees the other first. Track their cooldowns and never commit while their escape is up.
Your game plan as Mirage
A traveller who keeps fights alive with scarabs and arrives where you least expect.
Lane
Fire Scarabs steal life and reduce enemy damage; Djinn’s Mark stacks on your bullets.
Mid game
Traveler teleports you anywhere on the minimap. Use it to be the extra hero in every fight.
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 Apollo
A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.
- 01Don’t throw your key ability into Riposte. Wait for it to expire, then commit.
- 02Spread out; Itani Lo Sahn is a long slash that rewards stacked teams.
- 03Hard CC before he lunges: Flawless Advance commits him forward.
