How to play against Mirage

Combo: Mirage teleports in with Traveler, drains you with Fire Scarabs (lifesteal, and you deal less damage), and stacks Djinn’s Mark with his shots: every mark doubles its damage, up to 4.

Punish window: Traveler has a 2s wait, and any damage during it cancels the teleport. Shoot him while he waits.

Beware: Don’t let Djinn’s Mark stack up on you; break off before the third or fourth mark.
