How Mirage beats Kelvin
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.

- 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
- 02Kill him on the ground; Ice Path is his escape.
- 03Burst through his heals with anti-heal.
