Mirage is the newest Deadlock hero and was released on September 26th, 2024. Head to our Mirage guide to see all of his abilities and their upgrades.
Mirage is one of the most early game dominant laners in the game. With high mobility in his Tornado which allows him to lift his targets up and gives him bullet evasion makes him a good initiator. This build goes for high bullet damage and armor reduction which Fire Scarabs when upgraded the minus bullet resist and life steal makes it easy to poke and eliminate targets.
Early Game
First buy Restorative Shot for an increase in sustain and damage.
After buy Headshot Booster which increases fire rate and gives bullet shield while adding bonus headshot damage.
Next item to buy is Extra Health to increase the low base health that Mirage has while in lane.
The final items to buy in the laning phase are Mystic Burst and Mystic Reach for more range on Tornado and spirit damage on Djinn's Mark.
Mid Game
First buy Mystic Shot to increase bullet damage and spirit power and then Kinetic Dash for increased mag size and more mobility.
The next 2 items are the core of Mirage: Enduring Speed and Divine Barrier granting increased sustain, ability range and movement speed.
Next Bullet Resist Shredder is key for any target with base bullet resist or early armor.
Combat Barrier is also a good option for more survivability and increased damage and paired with Return Fire you can start to engage in more fights.
Suppressor is always good when split pushing and forcing an opponent to have to play more safe because of the increased fire rate advantage it gives you.
Late Game
The first big power spike for Mirage is Headhunter increasing overall damage and fire rate while receiving and 8% heal off headshots and granting movement speed.
At this point in a game Mirage is best utilized as sidelaner/split pusher, Hunter's Aura is added pressure against any isolated enemy which allows for Mirage to be a great 1v1 hero.
The last item in the late game is Crippling Headshot to shred spirit and bullet resist and increase lifesteal.
Situational and Luxury Items
Ricochet is a good first choice of luxury and when paired with Inhibitor. Mirage has a lot of movement slow and stun potential in a teamfight on top of having bullet and spirit shred with a little sustain making a big impact.
Improved Armors (Bullet Armor and Spirit Armor) are always a good purchase, especially if you are engaging in alot of fights for your team.
Debuff Reducer or Debuff Remover are great options against teams with large amounts of debuffs and stuns, especially against Knockdown and Slowing Hex.
Healbane is a good choice to apply healing reduction with spirit damage and upon kill you are granted 350 health.
