Pizzarugi Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've gotta say, despite her severely frail stats even after boosted with mods, she's practically unstoppable with the aid of her mirrors. And I'm not talking about the damage bonus they provide either (I could care less if they get nerfed to nonexistance), but the ability to draw enemy attention while remaining invulnerable allows mirage to stay relevant all the way to late/endgame missions. In fact, hall of mirrors is the only skill that carries her to the endgame. Sleight of hand is worthless beyond bugging arc traps and laser door traps in your favor, eclipse teeters off to becoming negligable in later games, and her prism is an energy guzzling ball of light that does little in the way of damage. The blind on the prism is nice, but not if its gonna eat up so much energy. Excalibur can blind with more efficiency than that. I love how mirage plays, even if only 1 ability is actually worthwhile. She is more centered around using her weapons more than her abilities which is cool, few if any other frame actually has that kind of focus. I wanted to test her effectiveness by running her through a T1 survival mission solo. I was only expecting her to make it to 15-20 minutes before the enemy got way too strong for her fragile self to handle, but no. I was able to clock in 40 minutes just by relying entirely on the mirrors to keep enemy gunfire off of her. Very few frames I own can take me to 40 minute solo sessions, but I am very happy to own another frame that can. I'm hoping the only nerfs DE has in store for mirage is related to nerfing/removing the damage bonus her mirrors provide and nothing else. She's a great deal of fun. What do you guys think?

immolator1001 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I usually always have hall of mirrors and eclipse on. Though can we stop these "Does anyone else" and "Am I the only one" threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestral9999 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Cool story bro, I really like the part where you stated your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KairaSilvermist Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) My Mirage isn't done yet, but HoM works wonders.... unless there's a Mutalist grinning at you, THAT's gonna give you a headache. I do hope they rebalance her abilities, and make them more efficient, I love the blind on Prism, and I don't mind running an efficiency/ max duration build to get the most out of her 1 and 4 EDIT: I should iterate, Mutalist Osprey are, as of now, my absolute favourite enemy in the game. Sorry Ancient Disruptor and Shock Eximus, you ahve to find antoher way to win me over :3 Edited July 23, 2014 by Mewfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Himari- Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 What do you guys think? Title: Anybody Else Love Mirage? *Raises hand* She is a very fun Warframe to play and most of your points I can agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BemoGuinness Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Personally I find her annoying. Lvl'd her to 30 for the mastery and put her on the shelf with my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like what I did with Oberon, except I actually sold him after I maxed him. Though, would you like to explain why she's annoying to you?

AM-Bunny Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Haven't made her yet, but I hate it when frames only have one salvagable move. This one trick pony is no comparison to the extremely versatile grand-daddy of illusion... ...even if that one trick is op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, would you like to explain why she's annoying to you? Sure. The HoM just seem to add too much to the screen. It gets in the way. The Prism is like a floating disco ball that again just clutters the screen. Just personal preference I guess. (My main is a Nyx just fyi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My main is a Nyx just fyi) Nyx is also my main, I find her turning a whole room of enemies against each other to be far more enjoyable than what most other frames bring to the table. And I do agree about HoM getting in the way, my biggest gripe when she came out was that mirrors lacked transparancy, making aiming a chore if one is standing right in front of you. I'm happy to see DE made them fade out slightly if they stand in front of you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azawarau Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I got her to 30 and left her there.. Good frame but not my style at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiceDead Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yes. I love her. In fact, I love most frames in this game except for Vauban. I don't know why, I just don't use him much is all. And I have an elitist attitude towards Rhino's, so I avoid using him as well. Oh, Nova's too. I liked these frames before it was cool. . .
