5 best Legends to counter Mirage in Apex Legends

Mirage in Apex Legends surfaced as one of the better Support characters in the previous season. However, Season 24 buffed the entire Assault class and made it difficult for a support meta to continue. One of the biggest buffs for these aggressive characters is the ability to highlight an enemy after cracking their shields for the whole team. This is a massive disadvantage for Mirage as his main body is highlighted, making his doppelgangers only a visual trick.

Mirage mains in Apex Legends face another problem as the Season 24 Split 2 tremendously buffed the Skirmisher class with two new perks. This makes playing a support character quite difficult, with the likes of Revenant being able to track with his passive mark whenever low on health. The passive cloaking of Mirage fails to scale in the late game when enemies focus on taking out Support legends first to avoid quick revives.

This article will highlight the best characters you can pick to counter Mirage in Apex Legends.

Which characters are best to counter Mirage in Apex Legends?

Here is a list of five characters you can pick in Apex Legends to counter Mirage:

1) Bloodhound

Bloodhound is a Recon character in Apex Legends. The tactical ability can be used to scan enemies in a certain range and track them down as the opponents are highlighted. Mirage clones are also affected by this scan so it could be a bit tricky to find the real one. You will need to check the movement of each clone to find your target. Once you find Mirage, you can score an easy kill.

Bloodhound’s ultimate performs like an enhanced Threat Vision where the surrounding environment shifts to a monochrome view. All targets are highlighted for Bloodhound, making it easier to chase enemies and spot enemies trying to attach your team. You can use the passive ability to track footprints and find Mirage with ease.

2) Fuse

Fuse is an Assault legend who can deploy sticky grenades as his tactical ability. You can throw down these cluster explosives near Mirage and check for the damage indicator. Once the real Mirage takes damage, his health bar and shield level will become visible. This information can be used to track the enemy and spray him down to get a quick elimination.

Fuse's ability to stow multiple grenades and deploy cluster explosives can render Mirage's clones useless as they flicker when taking damage. Once you have gone through the whole process of elimination, you can start shooting the real Mirage. The ultimate ability is also a great way to trap Mirage players, as only the main body would take damage while crossing the circle of fire.

3) Ash

Ash received some major buffs in Season 24 which catapulted her popularity and pick rate. Her ability kit received some reworks which made her tactical power more reliable and increased the teleport distance for the ultimate. These are great tweaks that make her evasive and also capable of catching enemies off-guard. Alternatively, her kit can be used to evade opponents when necessary.

Ash can easily snare Mirage during gunfights and then proceed to crack his shield. Once cracked, he will be highlighted for the entire team and make it difficult for him to use decoys and escape. In case Mirage does make it out alive, Ash can use her ultimate to chase him down and score the elimination.

4) Revenant

Revenant is a Skirmisher legend who enjoys the new Trailblazer and Charged Knock class perks. The Charged Knock perk allows players to get a temporary tactical ability charge back whenever securing a knock or a kill. This means that you can chase Mirage even when he activates his doppelganger abilities to try and trick your team. Combined with the ability to extend his mark on weakened opponents, Mirage is an easy prey if you can isolate a fight with the character.

Revenant is quite durable when it comes to fighting against multiple opponents. His ultimate ability can provide a regenerating shield that can catch enemies by surprise. You can use this with the tactical ability to reset whenever necessary and retreat to a safe location.

5) Valkyrie

Valkyrie is another Recon character in EA’s battle royale. Her tactical ability can damage and stun opponents from a safe distance. These missiles can be used over Mirage clones as the stun effect will only apply to the real opponent. Moreover, the missiles deal a small amount of damage that would activate the health bar view on top of the real Mirage.

Valkyrie has fallen off the meta after the recent power-up that arrived for the Assault and Skirmisher classes. However, this is a niche pick that can help you rotate to zones faster due to her ultimate ability. This ability also marks enemies on ground and can be upgraded to detect opponents hiding in corners or inside buildings.

Mirage in Apex Legends is effective during team fights when it comes to reviving knocked allies as he can cloak both characters and provide some cover. The cloaking ability becomes active when healing or using the respawn beacon. This is where control abilities like Ash's tactical come in handy as it can trap Mirage in place.
