Mirage special tactics
Neutral game
The Scythe has a powerful control over the flow of the game. Aerial combat can and will juggle opponents around using the grabs of the weapons, enabling a superior control over the opponent positioning. Play around the recovery and the down air to move the enemy around and use neutral light and side light to start a short combo.
During the neutral game your main objective should be to push the enemy offstage and gain an advantage. The spear has a perfect hit and run style that can achieve it easily. Play around short combos, using the side light or the neutral light to start them and throw the enemy offstage. You can then proceed to edgeguard using the recovery.
Offstage Game
Mirage has great offstage thanks to the mobility and the juggle potential of her weapons. The scythe has powerful aerial combat, mostly due to the position manipulation of the weapon.
Play around the recovery and the down light to move the enemy around. The spear has got mobility and strength. Use the recovery or the ground pound to deny entire areas to the enemy and the side air as a killing move.
Edgeguarding
Mirage excels at edgeguarding. The spear has strong recovery and aerial attacks that will throw opponents away easily and with great force. The ground pound is not to be underestimated, mostly due to the potential of denying returning to stage.
The area hit by the rotation of the weapon is high, and the force strong. The scythe can also be used: play around the recovery or dodge read to start a short combo and get the enemy offstage using the down light to gain the upper hand.
