How Mirage beats Warden

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
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 Warden

A one-man army who walks into six and dares them to fight.

  • 01Move when Binding Word is cast; it only immobilises if you stay.
  • 02Interrupt Last Stand during its 2-second charge.
  • 03Kite him; Willpower is his only escape.
