Power Mirage

February 2025

Introduction

Power Mirage is a powerful roamer excelling at picking up a single target because of the insane amount of you have access to. It also relies on burst windows with decent damage outside of them. Its access to a lot of damage modifiers give it a lot of ways to almost oneshot targets.
On this illusions version you aim to have a second Mind Wrack and lower cooldown on Distortion.

Build Fundamentals

Mirage gains access to Ambush Skills, transforming your auto-attack into a different skill for a short while after each dodge. On this build, you will have access to Mirage Thrust on Sword, which will be used primarily for mobility, and Fractured Glass while on Spear, used mainly for damage.

Use your Dodge carefully. Keep in mind that Mirage Cloak persists across a weapon swap, so you can Dodge in Spear, Weapon Swap, and use Mirage Thrust. This lets you proc your Sigil of Energy and get a Dodge back quickly for another Mirage Thrust.

On the other hand, Mirage Thrust can get a critical daze or simply get you out of a fight.

It will be often a better choice to counter enemy pressure with your skills instead of Dodge. Blurred Frenzy is a low cooldown evade, it locks you in animation but you can use Jaunt, Blink, or Illusionary Leap > Swap during it in case you expect to get punished when you exit the invulnerability.

The newcomer from last patch is Dune Cloak giving mirage access to even more dodges and even more shatters. It is the main reason mirage is so powerful. Self-Deception is a very important part of mirage aswell. Letting you create a 2nd clone instantly while bursting with Mind the Gap.

Shatters

Your Shatter skills can strip boons from enemies if you decide to run Shattered Concentration. You can use this to strip from enemies before attempting to interrupt them. Keep in mind that this is a gamble, as what boons you strip will depend on how many your target has.

Since this is a power-based build, your main shatter skill should be Mind Wrack. Make sure you shatter with as many clones as possible close to your target.

Interrupts

The main sources of interrupts you have are Diversion, Phantasmal Mage, and Mantra of Distraction. Your best targets for interrupts should be important enemy cooldowns such as heals, elites, and mobility skills. In higher-level play, try to coordinate with your team so they can take advantage. Using an interrupt during a burst will also greatly increase your damage thanks to Furious Interruption, Power Block, Dazzling and Illusion of Vulnerability.

Defensives

Outside of the disengage potential from Mirage Thrust we mentioned earlier, Mirage has access to Distortion, a very powerful immunity ability with a longer duration for each clone you shatter for it.
