What are Mirage's abilities in Apex Legends?

Mirage's kit in Apex Legends can do wonders for you and your team if you have an aggressive playstyle. Check out his abilities below:

Now You See Me (Passive)

Mirage is cloaked whenever he revives a teammate or uses a Respawn Beacon. When he gets knocked down, he is cloaked for five seconds, allowing players to evade 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.

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. However, you can use your interact button to make it copy all your actions other than climbing. Any enemies that shoot your decoy will be pinged in the game.

Life of the Party (Ultimate)

You will deploy an entire team of controllable decoys to distract all enemies.

All Legend upgrades offered to Mirage in Apex Legends

Legend Upgrades in Apex Legends Season 20 revolutionized each character in the game. They enhanced the powers of certain abilities depending on what a player chose. Like other characters, Mirage also gets access to four unique Legend Upgrades in the game. These are as follows:

Level 2 Upgrades

Revive Master: Allies that are revived by you will generate 75HP over time.
More of Me: Gain an additional Ultiate decoy while simultaneously reducing the cooldown of your Ultimate Ability by 30%.

Level 3 Upgrades

Me Two: Gain an additional Psyche Out charge. You can have two active decoys using your Tactical ability.
Bamboozle Bonus: Refresh your Tactical ability for usage upon successfully bamboozling enemies with your deployed Psyche Out.

We believe that Revive Master and Bamboozle Bonus are going to be your best bet when considered from a competitive angle. However, if you're out to have fun, don't hesitate to go crazy with More of Me and Me Two. These perks will enhance the effectiveness of your Tactical Ability, Psyche Out.

How to use Mirage in Apex Legends

Mirage is perfect for players who want to toy with their opponents in Apex Legends. Hit kit has a mix of supportive and offensive elements, providing you with a great deal of versatility.

Whether you're holed up in a building, taking a team fight, or simply traversing through an open ground, you should always use Psyche Out. Having a free-running decoy in a team of three is a great distraction and, in most cases, saves you from being shot first. Use it to nuke your enemies and get a free ping on their location. You can coordinate with your team to flush out the attackers.

As for your ultimate ability, you should always use it in every team fight in Apex Legends, considering its very short cooldown. You can use it to pull off some bold revives because it cloaks both you and your teammates.

There isn't a distinctive guide for this Legend. The more creative you are with his holograms, the better results you will see. Hop in a few pub matches and try out his amazing kit. His overhaul in Season 20 has made him one of the best Support Legends on the roster.
