Your side: Mirage in lane

Lane strengths

  • 14.8 damage per bullet is high per-shot, so he punishes anyone who stands still to last hit.
  • Fire Scarabs Fire Scarabs 35s Cooldown Mirage infests an enemy with scarabs that siphon life from them back to him and reduce the damage they deal. Crowd Control No CC, but the damage reduction on the infested target is a meaningful soft… Damage Drains 8 health per second at base rank (deadlock.one). Defensive The life steal plus the enemy damage reduction is a double-sided defensive… 1 Upgrade tiers raise the drain and duration; gives him a sustain edge that lets him stay in lane through trades most pistol heroes would lose.
  • Dust Devil Dust Devil 20m Range36s Cooldown Mirage becomes a whirlwind that travels forward, damaging enemies in its path, slowing their movement and lifting them into the air. Crowd Control Movement slow plus a knockup/lift on enemies caught in the path. Damage 65 base damage (deadlock.one). Mobility A committed forward travel — he cannot change direction mid-tornado, which… 1 +60 damage. 2 -12s cooldown, +30% evasion. 5 recast within 6s, increased spirit scaling. is both a lane escape and a way to punish a lane partner who steps too far forward.

Lane weaknesses

  • 2.72 shots per second is slow; a high-fire-rate laner out-trades him raw if he does not have scarabs running.
  • Djinn's Mark Djinn's Mark 2.8s Cooldown Mirage's shots leave marks on enemies, with a per-target cooldown on application. Crowd Control None at base. T1 applies a fading 48% slow for 0.8s on proc; T3 adds a 0.5s… Damage 11 spirit damage per mark at base, with a doubling effect per stack… 1 fading 48% slow for 0.8s on proc. 2 +20 base damage, +3s multiplier duration. 5 -0.75s cooldown, +1 max mark, 0.5s stun at max marks. takes time to build, so his burst is not available in the first seconds of a trade.
  • No answer to being zoned. deadlocklabs.gg records McGinnis as his worst matchup at -2.1% win-rate delta, and Paige at -1.0% — both zone-control heroes who never let him into pistol range.

Power spikes

  • Fire Scarabs Fire Scarabs 35s Cooldown Mirage infests an enemy with scarabs that siphon life from them back to him and reduce the damage they deal. Crowd Control No CC, but the damage reduction on the infested target is a meaningful soft… Damage Drains 8 health per second at base rank (deadlock.one). Defensive The life steal plus the enemy damage reduction is a double-sided defensive… 1 Upgrade tiers raise the drain and duration; + Djinn's Mark Djinn's Mark 2.8s Cooldown Mirage's shots leave marks on enemies, with a per-target cooldown on application. Crowd Control None at base.

  • Dust Devil Dust Devil 20m Range36s Cooldown Mirage becomes a whirlwind that travels forward, damaging enemies in its path, slowing their movement and lifting them into the air. Crowd Control Movement slow plus a knockup/lift on enemies caught in the path. Damage 65 base damage (deadlock.one). Mobility A committed forward travel — he cannot change direction mid-tornado, which… 1 +60 damage. 2 -12s cooldown, +30% evasion. 5 recast within 6s, increased spirit scaling. T2 (mid game) — -12s cooldown and +30% evasion make his engages repeatable rather than once-per-fight.
  • Traveler Traveler 140s Cooldown Mirage designates a spot on the minimap and, after a short wait, teleports there. Damage No damage. 140s cooldown per deadlock.io. Mobility Global relocation, the defining split-pressure tool in his kit. Defensive T2 grants a 400 barrier that scales with spirit on arrival, so a late-game… 1 +3m move speed and +20% fire rate for 12s on arrival. 2 400 barrier that scales with Spirit. unlock — Global presence — he can farm a distant lane and still contest every objective, which is his highest-value trait.
