Crystal of Atlan Mirage Guide - Everything You Need To Know

Mirage is one of the advanced classes in Crystal of Atlan that players can play as once they have reached level 15 while playing the Assassin Class and have finished the game’s class advancement quest.

Unlike the normal Assassin class and the Specter class that focuses on Physical Single target attacks, Mirage opens up an entire new door for players in terms of playstyle by allowing players to deal massive area of effect attacks that can deal amazing damage while crowd controlling large groups of enemies and deal with all downside the other 2 classes have.

In terms of PvE, Mirage excels at clearing waves of enemies thanks to all of the class’ extremely large AoE attacks and powerful crowd control effects. Additionally, Mirage excels at dealing damage from afar without having to approach the enemies, allowing players to attack from a distance. The main downside of the class in PvE is simply the lower damage modifiers and the fact that magical attacks can be resisted by more enemies than physical attacks.

In terms of PvP, Mirage can be considered a crowd control support role in 3v3 matches, with his large AoE attacks and crowd control abilities being able to restrict the enemies’ movement on the field, allowing other teammates to approach enemies and deal damage to them with ease. Consequently, Mirage does worse damage overall in 1v1 matches against high damage and agile classes.
