How Mirage beats Viscous

Assassin vs Brawler

Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.

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

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