Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Move sideways to avoid Dust Devil and break Mirage’s firing line before he adds more Djinn’s Marks. Leaving stops further shots, but existing marks still deal damage when consumed or when they expire. Apply Serrated Knives from beside cover, and keep Slice and Dice for a route that lets you return to your partner. Reach cover before Bloodletting’s delayed damage leaves you low.

Mid game · Walkers

Use cover after Dust Devil while Mirage has bullet evasion. Use cover when Fire Scarabs reduce your damage. If he starts Traveler nearby, damage him before he leaves to interrupt it.

Late game · Patron

Watch for Traveler bringing Mirage into a fight from elsewhere on the map. Damage him before he leaves if he starts Traveler nearby. Keep room between allies so Dust Devil cannot lift several people. Throw Serrated Knives from range. Use Killing Blow on Mirage when they are below its execution threshold and your team can support you.
