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. Place Spectral Assistant near cover so you can swap back to it. Aim Vexing Bolt without leaving yourself exposed.

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. Use Rabbit Hex on Mirage before his next ability cast, then follow with Vexing Bolt. The hex does not interrupt an ability already running.
