In the battle royale chaos of Apex Legends, these Legends are still some of the best and most popular choices.
Pick rates are the best way to find the best legends in Apex Legends. The most chosen legends are in the top tier and may be better than other legends. Skirmisher is the most popular class right now, so that is where the meta is centred.
Legend pick rates change every season because buffs and nerfs completely change the game. Legends that get buffs become more popular, while legends that get nerfs become less popular. The second choice for players is an assault or recon class hero, and support isn’t too far behind. Most players still don’t choose controller heroes because they like to play in an aggressive way.
Wraith
In Apex Legends, Wraith has always been the most played character. In the season 16 update, Wraith got a buff that made her even more famous and solidified her place as the most popular legend. Players can play more boldly and try plays they wouldn’t try otherwise because of her kit.
By timing her moves, Wraith can quickly change where she is to get out of danger and save her own life. With Wraith’s ultimate, his team can move around, which can be used to push away enemy teams or get away from danger. Wraith has a 11.4% chance of being picked, but that number is slowly going down.
Octane
Using an Octane boost and running into battle is the most fun thing you can do. Octane is a fun hero to play and is likely to stay a favourite for a long time. Even his ultimate move is fun and could help players win a fight.
Octane is all about speed, and his play style is all about starting fights and always being on the move.To play Octane well, you have to time your stims so you can get into fight faster and use his ultimate at the right times. The pick rate for Octane is 11.2% right now, and this is likely to stay the same.
Pathfinder
Pathfinder is the best game for moving around. His grab is so versatile that it can be used in almost any situation. In almost every fight, Pathfinder can grapple and use their height to their benefit. In Apex Legends, having a height advantage is very important because players show less of their hitbox when they have a height advantage. When players hear a Pathfinder grapple, they quickly take a defensive stance because being caught in the open is deadly.
In season 16, Pathfinder’s ultimate was made a lot better, which led to a big rise in fame. Before season 16, the win rate for Pathfinder was 9.4%, but it is now 10.6%.
Bloodhound
In season 16, the once-powerful recon legend with no weaknesses was nerfed, which took Bloodhound’s fame away. The ultimate and tactic of Bloodhounds were weakened, and their idle was changed. In Season 16, recon legends were nerfed to change Flappy Bird game and give other legends a chance to shine. Bloodhound’s new passive makes him work perfectly as a tracker right now.
Bloodhound’s pick rate has gone down and is now at 7.2%. However, this drop is not nearly as bad as Seer’s, which went from 4.2% to 1.9% in season 16.
Bangalore
Since Recon Legends was nerfed, Bangalore has become more famous. Since recon legends were nerfed, which used to be a counter to her tactical, her smokes have become more effective. Recon masters can still scan through Bangalore smokes, but their changes have made it harder.
Getting the most out of Bangalore is all about using her smokes at the right times. The pick rate in Bangalore is 6.8% and is going up quickly.
Lifeline
Since Apex Legends came out, there have been many changes to Lifeline.In season 16, her passive revive also went through big changes and got a buff. The buff took away the impact that slowed Lifeline down when she revived a teammate. With this small change, Lifeline can heal her friends without becoming a still, easy-to-shoot target.
Lifeline will have more chances to try risky plays that could pay off if you let her keep her momentum after she revived her friends. How to play Lifeline is mostly about knowing when to use her revives. Lifeline’s chance of being picked up went from 4.7% to 5.4% after her change.
Ash
When Ash first came out, she was chosen 20% of the time. By season 16, that number had dropped to 2.8%. Whenever a player logged in during an event, they got free Ash. This made it much more likely that she would be picked. Ash’s pick rate is 5.1% right now, and that might not change for a while.
Ash is a well-balanced hero whose ultimate is strong and similar to Wraith’s ultimate. Her strategy is great at stopping players from getting away, and she also acts as a free arc star.
Loba
Loba’s pick rate is only surprising in that she is not higher on the list. Loba is the best support legend because her ultimate gives her whole team loot and gives everyone enough ammo. Even though she has to stay hidden, her skills help her get away from a dangerous situation.
Loba just got her heirloom, and her chance of being picked up has been slowly going up and is now at 4.5%.
Apex Legends can be played on the PC, the PS4, the PS5, the Xbox One, the Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch.
