Tips for playing as Mirage: how to use passive and tactical skills, Legend’s ultimate; character advantages and disadvantages
Apex Legends is a battle royale set in the Titanfall universe, in which several squads (up to 20) of three people each try to survive, fighting against each other on the large island of Kings Canyon. We bring to your attention the material dedicated to the stuntman Mirage.
Basic information
- Role: holographic stuntman .
- Passive skill: “For an encore!” Automatically uses decoy and disguises for five seconds after being knocked out.
- Active Skill: Psychosis . Allows you to create a holographic decoy that can distract the enemy.
- Special Ability: “Disappearance” . With the help of several decoys, you can distract opponents while disguising your character.
Mirage is a real joker and provocateur who, apparently, does not take the events seriously. His decoy is a great way to distract opponents’ attention away from yourself or a teammate. Ideally, you need to activate the bait in advance, standing somewhere around the corner, so that no one understands whether the real character is in front of him or a holographic copy. But do not forget that when using “Psychosis” you are still visible to your opponents. And you can become invisible only when the ultimate is activated.
Advantages of the passive skill “Encore!”
This is a passive skill that allows Mirage to automatically throw bait and hide from an enemy for five seconds each time he is knocked down. “Encore!” is one of the most useful passive skills. However, the ability suddenly becomes unnecessary if there are no friends nearby who could raise the wounded Mirage to his feet.
How to use the active skill “Psychosis”?
Activate the “Psychosis” ability for Mirage to release a holographic decoy with which you can confuse opponents. The bait will move in the same direction as your character, so make sure to throw it correctly before moving anywhere.
This versatile skill can be used to play with the enemy, force him to give out his position or turn to face in the opposite direction while you are approaching him from the rear.
Here are some key features of the application:
- Before moving through the doorway, throw the bait so your doppelganger comes out first. If the enemy is nearby, then he will definitely attack the holographic decoy, giving away his position.
- Activating the decoy will be especially useful if there is a smoke screen on the battlefield. As long as your holography comes out on one side, you, moving along the other side, will be able to get close to the enemy from behind.
- Send the bait in advance in such a way as to distract opponents while you move from one cover to another.
- Hold the key to activate the skill to set the distance at which you would like to place the bait.
The decoy disappears as soon as it takes any damage . However, an enemy that is hit by a holographic projection will immediately appear on your map. Your allies will also see it! Psychosis is a great tool for determining enemy positions, but remember that activating a hologram tells opponents that you are in the area.
The bait should be used as intended. It’s the same if you tied a banknote, threw it in the middle of the road, and sat in the bushes and waited for the moment when a random passer-by would try to pick it up.
The ability works best if the enemy can’t see you activate it . Therefore, it is practically useless to activate “Psychosis” in a direct collision. On the other hand, if during a firefight you have the opportunity to hide around a corner or some kind of cover even for a split second, then be sure to use it and drop the holographic projection to distract the enemy.
How to use the Vanish Ultimate?
Ulta Mirage allows you to deploy several decoys to distract opponents, while the hero himself puts on cloaks of invisibility. It becomes invisible for approximately 8-10 seconds . Consider this special skill primarily as a brilliant rescue tool that creates many decoys and allows you to move safely across the battlefield for a short time. If you feel that you are in a difficult position, then do not be afraid to use the skill and run away from opponents.
You can also activate this ultimate to powder the brain of the enemy, and then attack him from the flank . It is best to first try to approach the enemy from the flank, and if he detects you, then immediately activate the ult, and reduce the distance to the enemy. That is, “Disappearance” can be used not only as a defensive tool, but also as a means for a surprise attack on the enemy. The enemy simply will not know from which side to expect an attack. This is especially evident on inexperienced opponents, who will be at a loss and will certainly begin to make serious mistakes.
In fact, if you can get creative with Mirage’s active skills and ult, you will be making incredible maneuvers and moves that baffle even the most experienced opponents. All three abilities make Mirage a great option for those looking to go solo. Although, as in all other cases, it is recommended to join forces with the rest of the team in order to surprise enemies from the flank or to gain advantages when playing in the minority.
Please note that if you start shooting at the enemy, you will automatically deactivate the invisibility mode . However, clones will still be visible on the battlefield.
