One thing they could do to increase his pick rate is to provide 2.5 seconds of invisibility to mirage and his teammate after a revive that disappears if shot, healing, throwing nades, or shooting.
@@amida_saber7237 you do realize how short a second is right? By the time you finish the revive and start moving half a second has passed. By the time the other half is up you've maybe moved 3 meters.
Invisibility after revive would make him very op. 2.5 seconds is enough time to kill any evo character with any gun from an enemy you can't see. That feature would get removed right away if they added it
As a mirage main, i just force the decoys to act like me in an open setting, scanning for emenies, crouching/uncrouching, maneuvering side to side to give the illusion that im actually there.
Mirage main. Serious tip, use your decoys. That’s obvious so I’ll elaborate, use your decoys in a creative way. That is to say you can use an enemy’s knowledge against them. If you are locked down in a spot where you got shot but don’t know where from. Send a decoy, take control of it/mimic you moves, and peek it out of cover (shoot if you feel like adding extra bait) and wait for the info on where and when the enemy shoots. Don’t be scared to act like a decoy, it gives your enemy a 50/50 on giving up their position or yours so take it and run. Spam your ult, play rez heavy, play chaotic neutral, it all benefits you and your team by giving the enemy more targets to shoot at.
These are beginner tips and great for anyone needing a reference for mirage. Add some more tips for some more content, they’re some legends that have complicated play styles to make them tougher to use properly. Edit: forgot to mention the lack of use on a certain character, does give you an advantage in some cases, but do remember that’s a given rule in most cases. People can adapt quite quickly in apex, I’ve seen some nasty comebacks.
Or maybe a 1 sec invis whenever a decoy gets shot down or something, they had something like that in apex mobile, it was quite useful to disappear and reappear mid fight more often
Biggest tip for mirage. His ult Carry’s his kit, When using it, instead of immediately shooting just wait a few seconds so you can get a better position and confuse the enemies easier
I got one thing to chuck on to this for us mirage mains out there, use the ult for the invisiblity as well when pushing from cover or whatever. Helps get those unexpected jumps
if done right! like push and break their armor but fall back, use decoy to run to make it look like you running away... use that sec to either heal or use a cell battery or simply to catch them off guard as they have their back turn against you >:)
Yeah, as a self-proclaimed pretty decent player Mirage is absolutely terrifying to come up against from my perspective. My lobbies rarely host him as most people are just losers who run Horizon, Wraith, Octane, and Path. I’m just not used to going against Mirage, so in tight spaces his ult can seriously fuck me up. In open spaces though, it’s a whole different story.
A little thing I do is because I know his tactical is one people have found themselves easily countering, I use it to find enemies who are throwing down air strikes or grenades, or if you locked down a building with Wattson, I’ll send a decoy through your fences to find just what part of that building you’re hiding in, and from there, I can begin to come up with a plan of attack The ult is the clutch tool, I use it to save my ass in a bad situation The passive however is one I make use of more than my teammates, I’ve even used it to avoid detection from enemies just so I could sneak behind them, I’ll fake a revive, then let the revive go when my opponent walks past to shoot them in the back Bamboozling goes far beyond just having your decoy shot, bamboozling is being able to trick your opponents, it’s about disappearing, whether it be a literal vanishing act, or hiding in a crowd, or hell, just tracking down your opponents by using their own tactics against them Mirage is a trickster, USE HIM AS SUCH
Whenever I main mirage I pop my ultimate immediately after sticking the res those three extra seconds can help your teammate run with the decoys and gives me a chance to reset
I've been playing Mirage a lot in ranked this season, and somehow I've been winning more games with him (which is super weird lol). But I like using him in an aggressive manner, like sliding from behind cover on someone and going into his ult, this normally helps me get one knock at least. I do find his tact to be underwhelming though. But I do still think that if you're facing a player that is experienced with facing mirage, his tricks won't work too well against them and you'll have to rely on your own gun skills
most important tips for using mirage is always take your time, you using ult? try to get a better angle, using his tactical? wait and see if the enemies dumb enought to shoot the decoys.
yeah as a mirage main i have spectated some matches of others who use him or when a team mate uses him but its all wrong...like they use his abilities etc at wrong times or they dont even bother to use them yet end up killed...
Some more tips use his ult invisibility if someone is pushing against your cover and hes ult invisibility let's you walk through caustic traps wich was very useful to me in the fragment east building
I'm a mirage main and lost count of how many times I've played solo in trios and won..as for the revive..always keep a decoy when you do revive..fire the decoy infront..then take control of it so people think the decoy is the real mirage
Just barrage the enemy with input(sound or visual) so that they struggle with finding to focusing on you, it works surprisingly well on all level of players
"run in a straight line" pretty sure anyone could the spot the real one easier that way. If you want to escape make the real one look like a clone. You can full clip someone if you have a clear view of them from your ult
Don't always throw our your decoys! Sometimes it's better to not send them out and get the sneak attack off on someone instead. Sending decoys out just to get noticed by enemies who had no idea you where around allows them to prepare defend themselves far better than if you got a lil closer and started blasting
@@ddwalker3744 yeah but it’s incredibly hard to not immediately get found when you use your ultimate, most people even if they don’t fight him very often can still know which one is the real one
Yesterday I played against a Mirage and when he used his ult I quickly figured out who the real one is because he had a Sentinel on his back but his clones didn’t. So it was a pretty easy kill, poor Mirage
also to add few tips if u by chance fighting a damaging kinda legend lets say watsonn fences fuse tact or ultimate n etc just throw ur decoy into em n they will show their location for brief moment giving u bit of info...... 7k kill mirage main still virgin mirage main xD
Oh also. Never let your opponent see you decoy. I know it sounds obvious but you would not believe how many mirage players throw a decoy in a firefight. And expect you to be dumb enough to not notice them pop it
Lolol ima mirage main and let's say I'm the fkn best!!! I love Ulting in front of squads when my teammates go down and running straight to my down and pick them up 7/10 times I'm successful with the revive
Heres the thing about mirage mains…no one is more loyal to their pick than them Because they know hes bad but still like him i have like 3 mirage main frens
On paper bad.. that is if you dont have a creative mind, because his abilities are all about creativity.. trust me you know what I mean if you have actually played him. Its an art of boozeling, or be the boozle, boozling everyone in the face, winning about 75% 1vs3. Not one boozle will be the same nor performed with the same usecase.. Yeah his abilities are bad on paper.. no.. not at all.. truly, there is not even another legend around there where in about any situation you can use your abilities usefull. Also, reviving in safespots? Hell no with mirage, let them come for the, mirage entrage.

@@mythicaltwinkie8216 you can do enough damage to crack an entire blue evo in a second that’s a little op

A good buff for his ultimate is to give his holograms the ability to copy the bullets he shoots to better confuse his opponents
Or maybe a 1 sec invis whenever a decoy gets shot down or something, they had something like that in apex mobile, it was quite useful to disappear and reappear mid fight more often

@@TheDestroyer73 dude it's so effective
Tip: your main goal with mirage is to get people to shoot your decoys while your shooting them
My main goal is to be as annoying as possible like one time I ulted 4 times in like 2 minutes
I mained this character for 4 seasons and still watched this video. Good info and strats
DONT GIVE AWAY OUR SECRETS!!

Mirage main here: when you use his ult run into walls (it sounds counterproductive but it works amazingly)
Man every time I use his ultimate that way, im found out immediately and I always behave like the decoys
1 tip - can be used with anyone but very good with mirage / when res chuck a nade then res cover the sound que from res

Some more tips use his ult invisibility if someone is pushing against your cover and hes ult invisibility let's you walk through caustic traps wich was very useful to me in the fragment east building
When entering a big fight pop your ultimate mid slide to confuse the opponent and try getting behind an opponent when you slide ult.
What does the Golden Knockdown Shield do?
It does what the gold backpack use to do. Which was restore revived teammates to 50% shields and 60% health.
‘Guardian angel’
Wait that first tip was actually supposed to be a secret I thought it was OBVIOUS
As a mirage main I'm upset people don't like him but also understand TwT
If you have cover while peppering enemies, they will have a hard time differentiating the copies....in pub lobbies.
Shooting decoy b4 healing helps alot
I'm a mirage main and lost count of how many times I've played solo in trios and won..as for the revive..always keep a decoy when you do revive..fire the decoy infront..then take control of it so people think the decoy is the real mirage
i have a tip for mirage players
during the character select screen, you have a certain amount if time not to pick mirage
A good change that could be done to mirage is making the decoys automaticly shoot bulets at enemys (these would do no damage )
You can throw out a decoy while healing
Just barrage the enemy with input(sound or visual) so that they struggle with finding to focusing on you, it works surprisingly well on all level of players
Keep them coming
"run in a straight line" pretty sure anyone could the spot the real one easier that way. If you want to escape make the real one look like a clone. You can full clip someone if you have a clear view of them from your ult
If I may share one of my tricks when u use the ult run into walls then when the time is right attack

One time when I was going for a rez I threw a thermite next to me so it would be harder to hear me rez and Because the door was completely broken
Also works for holo pilot in Titanfall 2
Mirage rez was good before the gold shield buff when it was the bag
As a mirage main I find this very helpful
I played mirage in s1, back then not many people new the difference between him and his decoys but now he doesn't feel as fun
Hes way better now than he used to be
@@ddwalker3744 yeah but it’s incredibly hard to not immediately get found when you use your ultimate, most people even if they don’t fight him very often can still know which one is the real one
To me Mirage is OP. Every mirage I face is a NBK, and 20 bombed badged. He disappears almost and that’s enough 💀.
Rampart trying to find that rezing mirage in open field with no cover: i know i will just use my ult and spin in a circle
“Tip 1: use his ult
Tip 2: use his passive
Tip 3: use his tactical”
That’s some galaxy brain tips right there
That's facts about the ultimate
Yesterday I played against a Mirage and when he used his ult I quickly figured out who the real one is because he had a Sentinel on his back but his clones didn’t. So it was a pretty easy kill, poor Mirage
Mirage is underrated bro its actually a decent legend when you can use it and annoying to play against
Also they need to make mirage fully invisible when he is reviving not showing the bright things on his arms
Good tips
Pov: your seeing this vid after the update
Thought this was about the Mirage map in csgo
I don't have to behave like one, i am bad enough.
also to add few tips if u by chance fighting a damaging kinda legend lets say watsonn fences fuse tact or ultimate n etc just throw ur decoy into em n they will show their location for brief moment giving u bit of info...... 7k kill mirage main still virgin mirage main xD
Bruh💀
He said not to rez in the open as he is rezing in the open
Revive can have a bug and the enemy will see you and decoy can die for absolutely non reason.
I miss his old ult
If you throw your decoy into a thermite grenade it will give you the location of the enemy that threw it
Oh also. Never let your opponent see you decoy. I know it sounds obvious but you would not believe how many mirage players throw a decoy in a firefight. And expect you to be dumb enough to not notice them pop it
seen my team mates do thta like bruh 🤐😑😐
W vid❤❤
I be honest people say mirage is unpopular but I see most players using him
Used to be a mirage main and now I can’t get bamboozled
I think Mirage should have self revive and he should be able to use three controllable decoys.
Tf2 is were I learned the basics of his abilities
Lolol ima mirage main and let's say I'm the fkn best!!! I love Ulting in front of squads when my teammates go down and running straight to my down and pick them up 7/10 times I'm successful with the revive
Heres the thing about mirage mains…no one is more loyal to their pick than them
Because they know hes bad but still like him i have like 3 mirage main frens
bad? he can be good if you troll the right way...i have over 4k kills with him
@@TheDestroyer73 exactly my point
Both mirage and the teammate he’s reviving now stay invisible for 2 seconds after reviving now
“Three great tips for mirage!”
*Mirage getting stabbed*
Sounds about right
Another tip, you can run or walk to traverse the map 😱😱😱😱
Only thing is gold knocks don’t work anymore
Luckily they made it so your invis after revive
He's my main he fits well with me
I love Maroge is a character he’s my main
dude said 3 great tips but actually just explained how mirage is supposed to be played.
What does he mean I'm not popular I'm a legend
Anyone think mirage is more of a support legend now?
Maybe not reveal tips for Mirage cause now a lot of people will be using Mirage
I'm constantly getting bamboozled 😅😂
I actually just started playing mirage lmao
I don't agree that mirage a bad legends I think he good
HUUUUH wdym mirage is invisible I always see his suit lights
What if he could switch places with a decoy :0
Playing mirage in plat: :(
Playing mirage in masters: lol have this ppl ever fought a mirage b4??!
Tip 1: change the legend asap
The revive one aged like milk
Margie is a A tire legend if you have experience and don’t panic alt
I’m a mirage main
4th extra tip: don't use mirage your better off using lifeline
Lifelines sucks use mirage
It's my Main from season 0 🤷♂️
Its ok not to pick him guys,
He's not new player friendly
Lemme sum it up
1. Act like a decoy
2. Use gold Knockdown Shield.
Basically, just learn how to play Holo pilot and you’re good.
On paper bad.. that is if you dont have a creative mind, because his abilities are all about creativity.. trust me you know what I mean if you have actually played him.

18,000 bamboozles
Tip #1
Don’t play him
I was a main of him but everybody knows all the differences if you’re in medium lobbies and bot lobbies
Nice
tip 1 dont pick him to begin with
Rarely used? ....no.
1,use another legend
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahahahahaahahhahaahha so funny
all of that was the most basic stuff you could possibly do
