5 Legends you should duo with while playing Mirage in Apex Legends

Mirage is one of the most versatile Support characters offered in Apex Legends. He is perfect for players who love playing around deception and tricking their enemies. He features one of the best passive abilities in the game, Now You See Me, which cloaks the character when he is reviving his teammates, or using a respawn beacon to bring them back into the action.

Here's a more detailed look into all the abilities you can access when you're playing Mirage in Apex Legends:

Now You See Me (Passive): Now You See Me provides Mirage with an invisibility cloak when he is executing certain actions. When he gets knocked down, he is cloaked for five seconds, allowing players to evade to safety for easy revives. After a revive, the revived player and Mirage will remain cloaked for three seconds or until they whip out their weapons. Furthermore, when using Respawn Beacons, the character will remain cloaked throughout the duration of his interaction with the said beacon.
Psyche Out (Tactical): You deploy a holographic decoy that is controllable. When spawned, it will initially copy whatever the player was doing, i.e., running, walking, or crouching. You can also use the interact button to program your decoy to do exactly what you are doing, including executing movement techs in the game, or aiming-down-sight.
Life of the Party (Ultimate): You will deploy an entire team of controllable decoys to distract all enemies. It must be noted that the number of total decoys in a certain time does not exceed five.

With a rundown of his abilities sorted, let us now look at the Legends that pair best with Mirage in Apex Legends Season 23:

1) Pathfinder

Pathfinder is a Skirmisher legend who can utilize his abilities to quickly reposition and initiate gunfights. Mirage can deploy his tactical ability to bait enemy teams into shooting it and pinpoint their location on the map. This enables Pathfinder to be able to jump toward the opponents and catch them off-guard. You can also choose to place down a zipline and start a fight with the full team.

Pathfinder is a movement-based character and can demolish squads from different directions with the help of his grapple. It is also a useful tool in chasing down enemies or retreating from dangerous situations. Mirage can support Pathfinder with his ultimate and tactical to confuse the enemy team. It is an aggressive route that the squad can take to engage opponents in the early rounds.

2) Loba

Loba, alongside Mirage, has received a ton of new buffs to her entire kit. The recent changes have made her a meta-tier Legend, if not the absolute meta-support-class Legend in the game. The duo have great synergy together, capable of running down squads all on their own.

Loba's Translocator helps her reposition in areas that would otherwise not be accessible to most Legends. The latest update provides her with two charges of this ability, and naturally, that makes her a definitive threat to enemy players. Players with adept skill will be able to swoop in, deal a ton of damage and quickly swoop out before they're compromised.

Mirage can use Psyche Out to distract enemies while Loba executes the aforementioned strategy. If things go south, Mirage can jump into the gunfight and ensue chaos by unleashing his ultimate ability, Life of the Party.

Last but not least, Loba can constantly ensure that Mirage is topped up with the best available gear and an endless supply of healing abilities during their matches.

3) Bangalore

Mirage in Apex Legends pairs quite well with Bangalore, and luckily for you, its not common knowledge that the duo have an excellent partnership together. You can use this underrated strategy to spook your opponents and absolutely destabilize enemy teams without breaking a sweat.

Mirage, as evident, is a master trickster, and the better you are at being goofy and spontaneous, the better you get at playing as Mirage in Apex Legends. As for Bangalore, she's perfect for players who are tactical, aggressive and love to be in the heat of combat.

One of our favorite strategies as a duo would be to set Bangalore up at a vantage position and use Mirage to lure enemies into the field. With the latter's decoys being able to ping enemies when shot at, makes it easy for Bangalore to pick off targets one after the other.

Furthermore, on account of the latest Support Legend buffs, Bangalore can also use her smoke screen to protect her knocked-down teammates, and Mirage, with his buffed revive ability, can quickly get them on their feet. This duo makes for an interesting partnership, and if you haven't already, we definitely urge you to try it.

4) Vantage

One of the best Recon characters to pair with Mirage in Apex Legends is Vantage. The legend received a huge buff to her kit at the start of Season 22, Shockwave, which made her a top-tier character.

The duo between Vantage and Mirage works pretty much the same as that between him and Bangalore. Vantage, unlike Bangalore, already has a sniper rifle at her disposal. This rifle can deal massive damage that stacks on enemies once they're hit. While Vantage might be the recon Legend, we will use Mirage as the bait, and the recon character for most instances.

His decoys will pull out enemies, and distract them, and using your Sniper Rifle as Vantage, you will scope in and shoot out targets one after another. When needed, you can also quickly reposition using your tactical ability, Echo Relocation. It provides you with ample flexibility when scaling heights and getting on top of tall structures.

5) Lifeline

While it is not really recommended to pair two Supports in the same team, Lifeline works too well with Mirage in Apex Legends for us to ignore her. Since she is a combat medic, her job is to make sure no one in her team, especially Mirage, gets knocked down.

Lifeline's latest rework makes her a meta-tier Legend, and in Apex Legends Season 23, she is must-have in all team comps. We urge players to try her out with Mirage for some amazing results.
