Summary
How to play Mira
Role: Anchor
The Anchor tends to stay on the objective or in a place where it can be seen and protected.
An essential aspect of the Anchor is to delay the attackers’ push towards the objective. Also, the Anchors should make it a priority to stay alive. This role generally requires less knowledge of the map. It also involves a more static style of play. Indeed, as Anchor, you will keep the angles for the majority of the round.
As a 3 health agent, Mira is more resistant to damage, which can play an important role in repelling an attack.
Difficulty
Difficult
Mira is a complex Agent and will require a lot of investment in the game in general:
- Mira requires advanced map knowledge and extensive game experience
- She plays a vital role in setting up the defense and is not a recommended agent for new players.
- In many scenarios, team coordination is required for optimal use
What equipment to choose for Mira
Which main weapon to choose
Mira has access to two main weapons, theITA12L and the VECTOR .45 ACP. The choice of main weapon when talking about Mira is very simple. Indeed, theITA12L is one of the worst (if not the worst) shotguns in Rainbow Six Siege and doesn’t pair well with Mira’s ability.
VECTOR .45 ACP | |||
| Viewfinder | cannon | Handle | under the barrel |
| SLR | Compensator | Vertical handle | X |
Conversely the VECTOR is an excellent defensive weapon with a very high rate of fire. In addition, the weapon has a low recoil which can be almost nullified through a Ccompensator and an Vertical Handle.
Which secondary weapon to choose
Mira offers in terms of secondary weapon theITA12S and theUSP40
Both weapons can be very useful depending on your playstyle. Despite all theITA12S will be our choice. You will rarely use it to kill but it will serve you regularly to remodel the site and prepare the installation of the mirrors without depending on the help of other agents

Which gadget to choose
Mira has access to two universal gadgets: the nitro and theProximity Alarm.
Choosing the right gadget will largely depend on your playstyle. However, the Nitro synergizes exceptionally well with Mira and will therefore rarely be a bad choice.

Single ability
The Black mirrors are Mira’s unique ability in Rainbow Six Siege.
Black mirrors |
Mira is equipped with two black mirrors, surfaces of which one side is reflective and the other transparent. Black mirrors allow defenders to see the other side of the mirror, providing security for Mira or her teammates since they are invisible to the opposite side. These can be deployed on walls, reinforced or not.
- The black mirror is a one-way bulletproof mirror
- It is only transparent on the side from which it was deployed.
- Deploying a Black Mirror takes five seconds
- Black mirrors, once deployed cannot be retrieved
- A gas canister is located on the lower frame of the black mirror
- The gas canister can be destroyed by gunshots, melee hits, explosives and certain abilities which will eject the bulletproof glass from the mirror after a few seconds
The impact of these mirrors will mainly depend on your ability to anticipate enemy movements. To play Mira effectively, the player must position the mirrors well and remain patient.
Finally, communicate with your teammates to find out where they would like you to put the mirrors or let them know your plan. This way your teammates won’t be reinforcing the walls you intend to use for mirrors.
