Mirage – This is what you need to know about the hero

With Mirage, Valve’s new MOBA shooter Deadlock has a new hero. We introduce him to you here.

What do you need to know about Mirage? Mirage can be played in two different ways: either as a support or as a strong damage dealer that really does a lot of damage. Additionally, two different types of builds have emerged in the past few days.

Some builds rely on Mirage’s really powerful primary weapon and combine it with his third ability, Djinn’s Mark. The other builds build on the second ability and its effects.

These are Mirage’s capabilities

Skill 1 – Tornado

What does the ability do? The first ability turns Mirage into a tornado, dealing damage and trapping enemies in a vortex of air. This vortex of air immobilizes the affected opponent and even blocks their movement abilities. When you exit your tornado form, you have a chance to dodge bullets.

Ability 2 – Fire Scarabs

What does the ability do? After activating the ability, you can shoot scarab beetles at enemies. Enemies hit receive a debuff that reduces their resistance to bullets. It also steals a portion of the enemy hit’s maximum health. This means: The enemy suffers damage while you heal.

Bonus tip: You can shoot at enemies with your primary weapon and throw bugs at them at the same time.

Skill 3 – Djinn’s Mark

What does the ability do? Your shots cause an increasing multiplier for enemies hit. Once the multiplier expires or the number of stacks reaches the cap, the stack is consumed and the target takes base damage multiplied by the number above their head. The opponents are also displayed on the mini-map.

If you “consume” a multiplier, you can deal the damage immediately.

Ultimate – Traveler

What does the ability do? Select an enemy that you can see on the minimap and use “Traveler” to teleport to him. However, you end up in the position where he was when you activated the ultimate. After teleporting, Mirage has increased movement speed and increased rate of fire.

Mirage Build – You should buy these items

What kind of build is this? The build relies on the powerful weapon of Mirage and accordingly makes use of the ability “Djinn’s Mark”.

The build comes from the content creator “AverageJonas”, who specializes in deadlock. He previously worked as a content creator for Riot Games’ tactical shooter Valorant, but would like to concentrate on Valve’s Deadlock from now on.

The build is currently still in progress and could change in the future – after all, Mirage hasn’t been out for long and the expert hasn’t found a perfect build yet.

You should buy these items: To make it as easy as possible for you when purchasing, we are including a screenshot of the build for you. This way you can see directly which items you need to buy.

You can also select and activate the build directly in the game so that only the items that you should buy are shown to you in the match. To do this, enter “Twitch.tv/AverageJonas Gun Mirage” into the search bar in Deadlock.

What do you have to consider when purchasing an item? Make sure to buy the items from left to right. AverageJonas also states that you should sell “Extra Rain” in the mid-game. In the late game you also sell the “Hollow Point Bullets” and “Ammo Replenishment” abilities.
