Apex Legends Mirage abilities
Mirage has access to three abilities:Now You See Me (Passive),Psyche Out (Tactical), andLife of the Party (Ultimate). He is a Legend based entirely around misdirection and fooling your opponents, making him one of the most fun to play if you enjoy humiliating your enemies. He is also an Offensive Legend, putting him in the same class asWraith,Bangalore,Octane,Revenant,Horizon, andFuse.
Each of Mirage’s abilities will be explained in detail below, but as a general rule, Mirage is the trickiest of the Apex Legends. His holograms can create a lot of confusion if utilised in a choatic fight at the right time. If you like to find your advantages through trickery, then Mirage is the Legend for you.
Mirage tips and tricks
Before we get stuck into Mirage’s individual abilities, let’s start with some more general tips and tricks on winning Apex Legend matches with the silliest Legends in the game.
Mirage Passive tips: Now You See Me
Description: Automatically cloak when using Respawn Beacons and reviving teammates.
The greatest strength of Mirage’s Passive ability is the fact that while reviving a teammate, both you and the downed teammate are cloaked. This elevates Mirage to a similar standing to Lifeline when it comes to reviving allies. You are also cloaked while using a Respawn Beacon, which is less important since it’s always the ship flying in that really highlights your position anyway.

Mirage Tactical tips: Psyche Out
Send out a holographic decoy to confuse the enemy. You can control the decoy. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
Using Mirage’s Tactical ability will send out a holographic decoy in a straight line in front of you. The decoy will run until either it is forced to stop, or it reaches the spot you targeted. But at any time you can use the Alternate Interact button to force the decoy to perfectly mimic your movements from wherever it happens to be at the time, giving it a very lifelike appearance.
Mirage Tactical tips:
Ultimate ability: Life Of The Party
Description: Mirage deploys a team of controllable decoys to distract enemies. Cooldown: 60 seconds
Mirage’s Ultimate, Life of the Party, is a hell of a trip for enemies. A circle of six decoys all moving in exactly the same way as the real Mirage is bound to cause trouble for opponents looking to quickly finish off the true enemy. Just before deploying the team, Mirage turns invisible for 1 second, preventing enemies from easily figuring out which is the real enemy.

Apex Legends Mirage backstory
Mirage is the loveable goof of the Apex Games, but underneath his cocky exterior, you’d be forgiven for thinking there is a little insecurity hiding. Elliott Witt always enjoyed messing around, but did get serious enough to become a master of Holo-Pilot technology. With his mother’s enthusiasm, they both worked on holographic devices, bringing them closer together ultimately after three of his brothers went missing in the Frontier War.
Mirage’s fame didn’t come immediately though. Working as a bartender, he heard stories of the glory the Apex Games could bring. He was initially hesitant, fearing his mother might lose her final son. However, she eventually encouraged him to join and the rest is history. Now armed with holo versions of himself, he has succeeded and become a favorite to many.
And that’s all we’ve got for now on the Holographic Trickster that is Mirage in Apex Legends. Hopefully, you’ve learnt a thing or two about how you can use (or augment) his abilities.
