Fishman Shares Mirana Guide for 7.41e

Published September 9, 2026

Nemiga Gaming support Dmitrii “Fishman” Polishchuk has published a guide to playing Mirana in Dota 2 patch 7.41e. The guide is built around his view that Mirana is both one of the more enjoyable and creative heroes and one of the stronger options in the current patch. Fishman frames the hero as a demanding pick rather than an automatic answer, while laying out practical decisions from the opening lane through later talent and item choices.

The central point of Fishman’s advice is that Mirana’s value in 7.41e is tied to deliberate execution. He says he has played 200 Mirana games with a 52% win rate, then uses that experience to outline where the hero can gain an advantage. His recommendations cover which first ability can be selected at level one, how Sacred Arrow should be approached, and why Aghanim’s Scepter is the reason he believes players have returned to the hero. That makes the post more than a broad endorsement of Mirana: it is a guide to the choices Fishman considers important when using her as a support and when transitioning toward greater damage later in a match.

Fishman’s route from lane to Aghanim’s

For the lane, Fishman does not prescribe a single level-one skill every game. Instead, he says any of Mirana’s first three abilities can be leveled according to the situation. His Sacred Arrow advice is similarly conditional. He prefers having a core teammate with a stun and names Ember Spirit, Tiny and Sven as the best examples. For players new to Mirana, he advises waiting for an opponent to be stunned or slowed rather than rushing an uncontrolled arrow. He also identifies a more opportunistic case: at night, with trees ahead of Mirana, an opponent may not have enough time to react. Fishman’s short verdict on the hero’s difficulty is direct: “Practice makes perfect.”

Fishman connects that execution-focused early game to a specific later power point. In his assessment, Aghanim’s Scepter is the source of Mirana’s strength and the reason attention has returned to her. He highlights the level-20 talent that gives +200 to Starstorm, noting that the talent also improves Aghanim’s Scepter. The guide therefore presents the item and talent as linked parts of the same progression rather than separate recommendations. Fishman also describes ways to keep gaining resources while moving around the map: when heading into the enemy forest, he suggests firing an arrow at a large creep. In his explanation, that can provide farm for Mirana while denying that farm to an opponent. The emphasis remains on using the hero’s tools with purpose, not merely landing arrows at random.

Talent and item choices in the guide

The later recommendations separate flexible decisions from choices Fishman presents more firmly for support Mirana. At level 10, he has seen professional players choose either -2 seconds to Starstorm or +150 to Leap, and leaves that selection to personal feel. At level 15, however, he says a support Mirana should take +20% evasion. After doing so, he recommends trying to preserve Mirana’s ultimate for teamfights. On items, Fishman says he takes Kaya after Aghanim’s Scepter, while also naming Eul’s Scepter of Divinity and Blink as alternatives, referencing Saksa’s approach. He says that with Kaya, a landed arrow can allow Mirana to nearly kill a core alone. His final progression point is that after level 20, Mirana becomes a full-fledged core with very high damage.

• Opening-lane instruction: choose among Mirana’s first three abilities at level one based on the situation rather than treating one skill as mandatory.
• Sacred Arrow instruction: newer Mirana players should look for a stun or slow before firing; Fishman separately notes the nighttime, tree-covered angle as a chance to try an arrow.

Guide area	Fishman’s confirmed recommendation or observation
Level 10 talents	He has seen both -2 seconds to Starstorm and +150 to Leap chosen by professional players, and says the choice can be made by feel.
Level 15 and later items	For support Mirana, he recommends +20% evasion at level 15; after Aghanim’s Scepter, he takes Kaya, with Eul’s Scepter of Divinity and Blink listed as alternatives.

Fishman’s guide is best read as an experience-based framework rather than a fixed build: he cites 200 Mirana games and a 52% win rate, while leaving choices such as the opening skill and level-10 talent to the situation or player preference.
