Social stealth
In AC: Mirage, as Basim, players will be able to find help from NPCs who can act as stealthy accomplices.

Thieves’ sense
In Mirage, Basim also will be able to make better decisions when trying to break into the antagonist’s home to make a silent kill. Ubisoft claims that a new skill called “thieves’ sense” would allow players to sense the enemy’s eyesight and view. The new feature is likely one of the key features that would define how much Mirage is looking to replicate the mechanics of the first AC title. The handy new skill is surely going to make the kills cleaner and exits smoother.
Assassin’s focus
Just because Basim can execute silent kills to perfection, doesn’t mean he can’t take the fight to the enemies when he needs to. In Ubsoft’s released gameplays, we can see Basim able to harness his concentration to make rapid successive takedowns when in a soup. The skill makes Basim look like a formidable hand-to-hand combat tactician that fans can’t wait to play as and have a fun time exploring the ancient roads of Baghdad.
Lighting kicks
When engaged in a 1v1 situation, players will be able to attack unexpectedly and throw their enemies off-guard. After a parry measuring your opponent on the rooftop, you can suddenly throw a sneaky leg to throw them off the building.
