After the November 21 update, Mirage received significant changes including Tornado speed reduction and ability slot changes. This guide covers how to adapt your playstyle.
New Ability Timings
With Tornado speed reduced by 10% and Fire Scarabs slot swapped, the ability sequence and timing windows have changed significantly.
Tips
- Account for slower Tornado speed when aiming
- Adapt to new Traveler cooldown (145s base, 90s with T2)
- Use Traveler through top bar portraits for quick targeting
Mobility Management
With increased Traveler cooldown, managing your mobility options becomes more crucial.
Warnings
- Don't waste Traveler - cooldown increased to 145s
- Be more selective with engagement distances
- Watch for immobilize effects as Tornado can't be used during them
Conclusion
Success with the new Mirage requires more precise ability usage and careful cooldown management.
