'''Mirage''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is agile and uses powerful wind-based abilities for disruption. By throwing out '''[[Mirage#Fire Scarabs|Fire Scarabs]]''' and transforming into a '''[[Mirage#Dust Devil|Dust Devil]]''', Mirage can damage, lift up, steal life and elude his targets while applying '''[[Mirage#Djinn's Mark|Djinn's Mark]]''' to enemies to enhance his attacks. When the time is right, he can '''[[Mirage#Traveller|Travel]]''' across the map in an instant to assist his allies, hunt down weak foes and take care of objectives. 

As an emissary of the Djinn ambassador [[Nashala Dion]], Mirage is a diplomatic bodyguard who is charged with protecting the Djinn while supporting their mission to acquire the state of Wyoming.  

Mirage was released on [[Update:September 26, 2024|September 26, 2024]].

{{AbilitySection

| notes       =
* Djinn's Mark is considered a damage-over-time ability. Thus, the damage won't knock a hero off a [[Ziplines|zipline]], and it cannot be blocked by {{ItemIcon|Counterspell}}.
* The damage scales with Mirage's Spirit Power at the moment the marks trigger, not when each stack was applied. Temporary Spirit Power changes (e.g. {{ItemIcon|Infuser}} or {{ItemIcon|Focus Lens}}) therefore affect all currently active stacks.
* Only the initial proc of Djinn's Mark is subject to the 40m range, subsequent procs have infinite application range.

{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = plated armor | state = disabled | text =
Neither "Deflection" nor "On-Hit Prevention" on Plated Armor protect against Djinn's Mark.

== Trivia ==
* Mirage became known in the player community for his screaming voice lines at release (the frequency of which was later reduced according to patch notes),<ref>{{Update link|October|10|2024}} update -  ''"Mirage still loves the Djinn, but he yells about them less frequently."''</ref> as well as his unused [https://youtu.be/DhetRNHLI7E?si=7MV6T1tWxzNLHgkK&t=133 "Akira laser"] screams. This has been acknowledged by developer [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]], who joked that Mirage's voice actor Fareed Ward could be easily identified by his screams,<ref>2025-06-10 - [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]]; Deadlock Discord - ''"Fareed is in fact currently employed by the djinn (...) like. come on. there's no hiding that scream"''</ref> and referenced in voice lines by {{HeroIcon|Mina}}, {{HeroIcon|Silver}} and {{HeroIcon|Vyper}}.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Mina}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Mirage): ''"You don't have to yell everything, Jesus!"''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Silver}}'s in-game [[Silver/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Mirage): ''"Won't have to hear that guy scream about the Djinn for a while."''</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Vyper|file=Viper kill mirage 03.mp3|transcription=Anything to stop that guy from yelling about the Djinn!}}</ref>
