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 ultimate ability is a great way to trap Mirage players. The ring of fire can block him inside and highlight his location for you, making him an easy target. You can also spam grenades toward the clones and check if they flicker since the decoys are illusions and cannot be damaged.

3) Ash

Ash is another Assault legend who can use a trapping ability. Her tactical can be used to anchor Mirage in a small area and score a quick kill. You can place down this ability near Mirage to ensure that the player cannot release a clone and run in another direction to confuse your team.

Mirage’s ultimate always pops out from the main body so if you see it being activated, you can try to land the tactical on the ground near him.

Ash’s ultimate ability and passive can be combined to track Mirage around the map. If you spot such opponents running away, you can choose to chase them down with your team by using the ultimate. Since the ability creates a one-way portal, you do not have to worry about Mirage taking it back and escaping.

4) Wattson

Wattson is a Controller character in Apex Legends. Her tactical ability can be used during gunfights to create traps that can damage enemies if they cross the fences. You can use this tactic to filter out Mirage clones from the real one. If the real one crosses the fence, you will be able to spot the health bar on top of his character model.

Wattson’s ultimate does not play any significant role in this scenario. But the Pylon can be deployed in the vicinity to avoid being bombarded with grenades while receiving free shield regeneration. This can help your team stay in the fight for longer without needing to worry about their shields depleting.

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’s ultimate ability has a passive effect that detects enemies in an area while you are airborne and skydiving on the map. This can be used to track down Mirage if the enemy decides to run away from the battlefield and reset.
