Talk:Mirage (Warframe)/@comment-82.123.115.164-20140728202433

What I like THE MOST about this frame is certainly the possibility of bringing "bad" weapons into late game. By bad weapons, I'm aiming at those weapons that you wouldn't normally bring into T3-T4 Voids, Defense & Survival, etc.

For example, the Braton Prime is undisputably ONE OF the "worst" Prime weapons, mainly because of its relatively low damage even with 8 formas (which is the case of mine). Some even consider it as a "MK-1 Braton Prime", and I find this comparison very interesting. With Mirage though, it just feels like you're firing Boltor P bolts out of your Braton...

Also, let's talk about the AkZani. Given the stats of the AkZani, I would probably NEVER use them over, say, the Dex Furis or the Akstiletto. However, their description state the following : " [...] the weapon of choice for Mirage [...]. Well, I can't disagree with this. Indeed, they have a bit less damage than other similar weapons (such as the Dex Furis), hence the tendancy of people to level up this kind of weapon just to throw em to trash the next day. YES. BUT ! Who wouldn't sacrifice like ~12% damage in exchange for MUCH more reserve ammo, when said ammo can deal like 300% dmg in the hands of Mirage ? ;)

¤ TL;DR : "Sleight of Hand" and "Prism" may be VERY damage-and-utility lacking COMPARED to others, but I believe that Mirage has the ability to regild admittedly "bad" weapons (thanks to her Hall of Mirrors and Eclipse skills). And that alone is what makes her fun to play : give her an unmodded Lato, throw a disco-ball and ROCK THE PARTY !
