1) ASSAULT CLASS

The Assault class in Apex Legends is a great choice if you enjoy:

• Being a damage dealer: Assault legends are all about dealing a lot of damage quickly, making them perfect for players who like intense gunfights and getting up close to enemies.
  
  
• Moving fast and being agile: Assault characters have abilities that let them move quickly and reposition easily. If you enjoy fast-paced gameplay and the ability to escape or engage fights on your terms, the Assault class is for you.
  
  
• Controlling the battlefield: Some Assault legends can create smoke screens or barriers that manipulate the battlefield, providing cover for you and your teammates or blocking enemy attacks.
  
  
• Helping your team: While Assault legends are great at dealing damage, they can also support the team. They have abilities that benefit everyone, like providing safe transportation or revealing enemy positions.
  
  
• Thriving in close-quarters combat: If you prefer fighting up close with shotguns or SMGs and rushing into battles, the Assault class is a perfect fit for your playstyle.

Class Perks:

• Open the secret compartment in Weapon Supply Bins, which always contains attachments.
  
  
• Carry more ammo in a single inventory slot.
  
  • 20 Extra Light / Energy / Heavy Ammo
    
  • 5 Extra Shotgun Ammo
    
  • 9 Extra Sniper Ammo

BANGALORE

⠀
⠀

Professional Soldier

Bangalore is an excellent choice for players looking to main an Assault legend in Apex Legends. With her versatile abilities, she excels in both offense and defense, making her a well-rounded option for various combat situations. Her Smoke Launcher and Ultimate, Rolling Thunder, provide tools for offensive pushes, defensive retreats, and disrupting enemy vision. Bangalore's medium-range combat proficiency and the ability to counter enemy abilities make her a formidable force on the battlefield. Additionally, her smoke can enhance team coordination by providing cover for revives, looting, and signaling movements. Consider choosing Bangalore if you want a versatile and effective Assault legend for your Apex Legends gameplay.

Abilities

• Getting shot at can actually be good for Bangalore, as her passive ability Double Time makes her sprint faster when taking fire. That means you can quickly get away from being shot in a lot of cases, and it can even be used for closing range against an enemy squad before they can effectively deal with you, forcing them into a closer fight than they might want.
  
  
• Bangalore can shoot a set of three smoke grenades with her Tactical ability Smoke Launcher, blanketing an area and greatly reducing visibility. Smoke arcs like any thrown grenade, which creates a big smokescreen that spreads out into quite a large area to make a thick wall.
  
  
• For an ultimate ability, Bangalore can call in an airstrike called Rolling Thunder. It drops a series of missiles from the air that slam into the ground before exploding shortly afterward. The missiles that land do damage as well as stun anyone who's caught in them, which makes it possible to keep fighting in the midst of a strike and finish off enemies who are caught in it.

⠀

REVENANT

⠀
⠀

Synthetic Nightmare

Revenant is a compelling choice for players looking to main an Assault legend in Apex Legends. With his unique set of abilities, Revenant excels at aggressive and disruptive gameplay. His tactical ability, Silence, disables enemy abilities and slows them down, giving you an advantage in engagements. The passive ability, Stalker, allows Revenant to crouch-walk faster and climb higher, granting enhanced mobility in both offense and retreat. His ultimate ability, Death Totem, provides a second chance for your squad by creating a protective totem that safeguards you from death temporarily. This enables you to take risks and engage in fights without the fear of losing your life. If you enjoy a disruptive playstyle, shutting down enemy abilities, and the ability to push aggressively while having a safety net, Revenant is an ideal choice as your main Assault legend in Apex Legends.

Abilities

• Revenant's passive ability is Stalker, which allows him to climb twice as high as the other legends (two stories as opposed to just one), as well as moving about as fast while crouching as the other legends do while walking.
  
  
• His tactical ability Silence throws a device that causes enemies to take 10 damage, be stunned, and disable their tactical and ultimate abilities for a short while. Similar to Octane's Stim, Silence can be used in tandem with other actions, meaning you can use the ability while healing, reloading, aiming, shooting, or throwing a grenade.
  
  
• It takes a few seconds for Revenant to fully construct his Death Totem ultimate ability, and players need to actually interact with it first for it to take effect. But once used, the totem will transform you your teammates into a shadow that can only take health damage--your shields won't be affected. When you die, you'll return to the totem's location, but you'll only have 1 HP.

⠀

FUSE

⠀
⠀

Bombastic Explosives Expert

Fuse is an exciting choice for players looking to main an Assault legend in Apex Legends. With his explosive expertise, Fuse brings a unique and aggressive playstyle to the battlefield. His tactical ability, Knuckle Cluster, allows him to launch a cluster bomb that deals area-of-effect damage, making it great for flushing enemies out of cover or controlling tight spaces. His ultimate ability, The Motherlode, unleashes a massive bombardment of missiles that can devastate enemy squads and create chaos in the battlefield. Fuse's passive ability, Grenadier, enables him to throw ordnance farther and more accurately, giving him an edge in grenade-based strategies. If you enjoy explosive firepower, area denial, and a playstyle focused on aggressive bombardment, Fuse is an excellent choice as your main Assault legend in Apex Legends.

Abilities

• Fuse is the only character who can stack two grenades per inventory slot with his passive ability Grenadier, freeing up extra space for healing, ammo, or just way more grenades. But it's the second aspect of his passive that is worth pointing you. Fuse flings grenades incredibly far and with pinpoint accuracy, adding them as a viable option for long-range combat.
  
  
• Meanwhile, his Knuckle Cluster tactical ability means he always has access to grenades. A direct hit from Knuckle Cluster will initially deal 10 damage, with the four subsequent explosions doing 10 damage each for a combined total of 50 damage. If you don't land a direct hit, then the overall damage will depend on how many of the explosions hit the target.
  
  
• Fuse has an amazing ultimate ability called The Motherload, and while it lacks the overall area of effect that Gibraltar and Bangalore have with their ultimate abilities, that's a small tradeoff when you factor in that this ability is a brutal trap. Those inside the ring of fire it creates will be forced to remain in place or risk taking damage. If they try to escape the circle, they'll immediately take 35 damage and be slowed, taking an additional five ticks of 8 damage, for a total of 75 damage once all is said and done. And this ability has range--Fuse can fire it up to 200 m away.

⠀

ASH

⠀
⠀

Incisive Instigator

Ash is a highly aggressive and dynamic legend in Apex Legends. Her playstyle revolves around fast-paced movements, surprise attacks, and taking control of engagements. As an Ash player, embrace a proactive and assertive approach, actively seeking out fights and utilizing her mobility to flank enemies. Maintain map awareness, utilize advantageous positions, and make use of the environment to gain the upper hand. By embodying Ash's aggressive playstyle, you can dominate the battlefield and secure victories for your team.

Abilities

• Ash's passive ability Marked For Death allows her to see the location of recent death boxes and then hack them when nearby to mark surviving attackers.
  
  
• Her Arc Snare tactical ability throws a spinning snare that damages* and tethers the first enemy that gets too close, giving you an opportunity to push them or escape, depending on the situation.
  
  
• Lastly, her ultimate ability is Phase Breach, which tears open a one-way portal to a targeted location that's also usable by allies and enemies, which provides extremely useful opportunities for chasing down or ambushing enemies.

Note – An Arc Snare deals 10 damage to health or 20 damage to shields.
⠀

MAD MAGGIE

⠀
⠀

Rebel Warlord

Mad Maggie is an excellent choice for players seeking an aggressive and daring playstyle in Apex Legends. Her dynamic approach to combat and swift movement make her a formidable force on the battlefield. With Mad Maggie, you can confidently engage in close-quarters combat and quickly close gaps to catch opponents off guard. Her playstyle rewards boldness and a fearless approach to engagements, making her an exciting legend to master. By choosing Mad Maggie, beginners can experience the thrill of intense and fast-paced battles, dominating their opponents with speed and aggression.

Abilities

• Mad Maggie's passive Warlord's Ire is one of the primary reasons she's such a good pick for any bold, in-your-face type of player. Her ability to move faster with a shotgun makes her immensely dangerous in close-quarters combat, especially in small buildings and hallways, where she can close gaps very quickly. Additionally, damaging enemies momentarily scans them, giving you a brief opportunity to strategize how to approach them next when they reposition behind cover.
  
  
• Her tactical Riot Drill is a hard counter to defensive legends, and anyone uses doors or other cover to heal. As a matter of fact, it's the very first ability in the game able to breach Gibraltar's bubble. The drill lasts around 10 seconds and does 4 damage per tick, up to 160 total damage, making it fantastic at keeping people out of specific cover that you don't want them hiding behind or near. With a 22-second cooldown, this big boy can be used with enough frequency to scare the hell out of anyone who dares hang out on the other side of a wall from you.
  
  
• Lastly, her ultimate Wrecking Ball offers a multitude of boons to an engagement. Foes hit by the ball take only 20 damage, but the subsequent explosion causes them to suffer from a concussive effect for a short period after the explosion. The most important use of the ability, though, is the blue spots it leaves on the ground in a zigzag pattern, each offering a 30% speed boost for you and your teammates to make pushing into an area a quick affair.

⠀

BALLISTIC

⠀
⠀

Refined Gunslinger

Ballistic offers a unique and versatile playstyle for players in Apex Legends. With the ability to carry three weapons using the sling, you have more options and firepower at your disposal. Additionally, Ballistic's Whistler tactical ability disrupts opponents' weapons, giving you an advantage in engagements. Whether you're looking for flexibility in loadouts or the ability to disrupt enemy firepower, choosing Ballistic allows beginners to embrace a distinct playstyle and dominate the battlefield.

Abilities

• Ballistic is the only character in-game with access to a third weapon that is not its primary ability (like Rampart and Vantage). He can pick up three weapons from the ground or crate, and the third weapon will go to his sling. The sling weapon is accessible via inventory or character utility action. It is also crucial to note that this weapon won't take any attachments.
  
  • It is recommended that you pick up a shotgun as the third weapon, as it's a great choice even without attachments.
  
  
• Ballistic's tactical ability Whistler allows him to mess with his opponents' weapons. When stuck with a Whistler projectile, the enemy's guns will heat up upon firing. If they continue firing the weapon, it will overheat and cause damage to the shooter. Players will need to hold the tactical button to lock on Whistler's projectile to enemies.
  
  
• Ballistic's ultimate ability Tempest is a must-use when you go guns blazing toward your opponents. Tempest gives you and nearby teammates unlimited ammo, faster reload, and quicker unarmed movement speed. Activating the ability will also equip Ballistic's sling weapon and upgrade it to its gold version.

⠀

2) SKIRMISHER CLASS

If you're considering the Skirmisher class in Apex Legends, here are some points to help you decide if it's the right choice for you as a beginner:

• Aggressive Playstyle: Skirmisher legends thrive in aggressive, close-quarter combat. If you enjoy fast-paced, action-packed gameplay and prefer getting up close and personal with enemies, the Skirmisher class might be a great fit for you.
  
  
• Enhanced Mobility: Skirmishers possess abilities that boost their mobility, allowing them to move quickly and maneuver effectively during fights. This can help you engage or disengage from encounters more easily, making it suitable for players who prefer fluid and dynamic movement.
  
  
• Hit-and-Run Tactics: Skirmishers excel at hit-and-run tactics, allowing you to swiftly engage enemies, deal damage, and then disengage to recover. This playstyle can be forgiving for beginners, as it provides opportunities to retreat and reset if a fight becomes overwhelming.
  
  
• Disruption and Distraction: Skirmisher legends are skilled at creating chaos and confusion on the battlefield. Their abilities can disrupt enemy strategies, split their attention, and give your team an advantage. This can be helpful for beginners, as it can create opportunities to catch enemies off guard.
  
  
• Solo Flanking Potential: Skirmishers are well-suited for independent play and solo flanking maneuvers. Their abilities enable them to navigate the battlefield and engage enemies from unexpected angles. This flexibility can provide a sense of freedom and empower beginners to make impactful plays.

Class Perks:

• Allows them to see the contents of a Care Package from a distance, and if the Care Package has already been looted, they can see what was taken from it.

PATHFINDER

⠀
⠀

Forward Scout

Pathfinder is a great choice for players who enjoy a highly mobile and adventurous playstyle in Apex Legends. As Pathfinder, you can traverse the map with ease, exploring hard-to-reach areas and taking advantage of verticality. This mobility allows you to quickly flank enemies, reposition during fights, and scout for valuable loot or advantageous positions. Pathfinder's playstyle revolves around being a nimble and opportunistic legend, constantly on the move to gain an advantage. Whether it's reaching advantageous vantage points, surprising opponents with unexpected angles of attack, or facilitating your team's movement with ziplines, Pathfinder offers an exciting and dynamic experience for players who prefer an agile playstyle.

Abilities

• Pathfinder’s tactical ability is a Grappling Hook, which can be used to get to hard-to-reach places quickly. It's your go-to method for getting a lay of the land, and it can get you out of sticky situations easily.
  
  
• Meanwhile, his passive ability Insider Knowledge will decrease Pathfinder’s Zipline Gun cooldown by 10 seconds when he reveals a Care Package. Up to 4 care packages means the cooldown can get reduced from 120 seconds down to 80. Revealing a care package also fully charges Pathfinder’s ultimate.
  
  
• His aforementioned ultimate ability is Zipline Gun, which creates a zipline that everyone can use, allowing your whole squad to reach areas not as easily accessible. Since it has a 2-minute recharge time, it should be used frequently for consistent repositioning.

⠀

WRAITH

⠀
⠀

Interdimensional Skirmisher

Wraith is an ideal choice for players who enjoy a highly evasive and strategic playstyle in Apex Legends. As Wraith, you possess the ability to phase into the void, making yourself invulnerable to damage while being able to quickly reposition. This makes Wraith an excellent choice for players who want to engage or disengage from fights swiftly and safely. With her passive ability, Voices from the Void, Wraith is alerted when enemies are targeting her, providing an additional layer of awareness and defensive advantage. Wraith's playstyle revolves around unpredictability, using her abilities to outmaneuver opponents and create opportunities for your team. Whether it's using the Into the Void ability to escape dangerous situations, setting up ambushes, or providing crucial intel to your squad, Wraith offers an exciting and strategic playstyle for players seeking a nimble and elusive legend.

Abilities

• Wraith's passive ability Voices From the Void will let her hear voices that warn her when she's being aimed at. It's about as simple as a passive can get, but it can be immensely helpful when navigating around the map.
  
  
• Meanwhile, her tactical skill Into the Void allows her to become untouchable and nearly invisible. She also moves a lot faster too, so you can use this skill to escape an approaching ring wall. Wraith can't interact with anything while in the void, though, meaning she can't pick up weapons or items, see enemies or allies, attack, or open or close doors.
  
  
• Wraith has one of the most useful ultimate abilities in Apex Legends. Her Dimensional Rift lets her drop portals that can be used to reposition the team, transport downed allies to safety for revival, or to trap enemies for some hilarious antics.

⠀

OCTANE

⠀
⠀

High-Speed Daredevil

Octane is a fantastic choice for players who crave a fast-paced and aggressive playstyle in Apex Legends. As Octane, you have the ability to stim yourself, granting a speed boost that enhances your mobility. This allows you to move swiftly across the battlefield, engaging enemies with speed and surprise. Octane's playstyle revolves around constant movement and relentless aggression. You can use your stim to rush into fights, reposition quickly during engagements, and escape unfavorable situations. Additionally, Octane's passive ability, Swift Mend, gradually restores your health over time, providing some self-sustainability during intense battles. Embracing Octane's playstyle means being constantly on the move, pushing the limits, and overwhelming opponents with your speed and unpredictability. If you enjoy an adrenaline-fueled and high-octane gameplay experience, Octane is the perfect legend for you.

Abilities

• Octane's tactical ability Stim grants him greatly increased speed for a short time at the cost of some of his health. Luckily, this works hand-in-hand with his passive ability, which regenerates health over time.
  
  
• That passive ability Swift Mend will regen his health by 1 HP every second that he's not taking damage. It's not much, but it can be a massive help to not have to stop and spend your time manually healing minor wounds.
  
  
• Lastly, his ultimate is Launch Pad, which tosses a pad on the ground that can launch you and your enemies vertically or horizontally to reach areas quickly. This makes it an amazing tool for opening up an offensive push or aggressively running down escaping squads.

⠀

HORIZON

⠀
⠀

Gravitational Manipulator

Horizon is an excellent choice for players who prefer a calculated and tactical playstyle in Apex Legends. As Horizon, you have access to gravity-defying abilities that allow you to control the battlefield. Your tactical ability, Gravity Lift, creates a vertical lift that can elevate you and your teammates, providing a height advantage and surprising angles of attack. This ability is particularly useful for gaining advantageous positions or escaping unfavorable encounters. Horizon's ultimate ability, Black Hole, creates a powerful singularity that pulls enemies towards it, disrupting their movements and allowing you and your team to capitalize on the chaos. Horizon's playstyle revolves around strategic positioning, utilizing her gravity-defying abilities to manipulate the battlefield and gain an edge. Whether it's repositioning your team, creating distractions, or disrupting enemy movements, Horizon offers a versatile and tactical playstyle that rewards smart decision-making. If you enjoy a more methodical and calculated approach to engagements, Horizon is a legend that will suit your playstyle perfectly.

Abilities

• Horizon's passive ability is Spacewalk, which increases her air control while also letting her avoid the speed penalty that comes from falling from heights. This allows you to get up on people quickly when they're below you.
  
  
• Her tactical ability Gravity Lift is one of the game's most powerful mobility tools, allowing you to create a 10-second lift that can help you and your teammates reach higher locations very fast. This can be exceptionally helpful in areas with a lot of vertical structures and can turn the tide of a battle within moments.
  
  
• Her ultimate ability Black Hole throws a device that creates a, well, black hole for 12 seconds that pulls nearby enemies in and highlights them. If deployed perfectly, it can be combined with grenades and heavy fire to lump your foes together and make quick work of them.

⠀

VALKYRIE

⠀
⠀

Winged Avenger

Valkyrie is a fantastic choice for players seeking an aerial and versatile playstyle in Apex Legends. As Valkyrie, you take to the skies with your tactical ability, allowing you to hover in mid-air and gain a tactical advantage over your enemies. This aerial mobility enables you to survey the battlefield, scout for enemies, and plan your next move. Valkyrie's ultimate ability, Skyward Dive, lets you launch into the air and reposition yourself or your squad to a desired location on the map, providing incredible mobility and the ability to initiate or disengage from fights with ease. Valkyrie's playstyle revolves around utilizing her aerial abilities to gain a bird's-eye view of the battlefield, engaging enemies from unexpected angles, and providing valuable support to your team. Whether it's using her hover to rain down gunfire, repositioning quickly to avoid danger, or initiating fights from above, Valkyrie offers an exhilarating and dynamic playstyle for players who enjoy dominating the skies and providing strategic advantages to their team.

Abilities

• Valkyrie's passive ability VTOL Jets allows her to constantly use her jetpack to move around the battlefield in the air. While fuel is limited, it doesn't deplete as quickly as you might expect, and it refills very fast, making her a force to be reckoned with in vertical engagements. However, you can't use weapons while flying, so you'll want to be mindful of that when rushing down your opponents.
  
  
• Her tactical ability is Missile Swarm, which shoots 12 missiles in a 4×3 array to deal damage to enemies and briefly stun them. This can be used to flush foes out of hiding spots or to deal some supplementary damage in fights.
  
  
• Her ultimate ability Skyward Dive is one of the best in the game, allowing you to launch you and your squad 180 meters into the air and skydive to a new location. This can get your team out of bad situations or simply help you avoid the storm if you're running a bit behind.

⠀

3) RECON CLASS

Considering the Recon class in Apex Legends? Here are key factors to help you decide if it's the right choice for you:

• Information Gathering: If you enjoy gathering crucial information about enemy positions, Recon legends are perfect for you. They have abilities that allow you to scout ahead, detect enemies, and provide valuable intelligence to your team.

BLOODHOUND

⠀
⠀

Technological Tracker

Bloodhound is an excellent choice for players who enjoy a proactive and information-gathering playstyle in Apex Legends. As Bloodhound, you possess the ability to track enemy movements and gather valuable information about the battlefield. Your tactical ability, Eye of the Allfather, allows you to scan the surrounding area, revealing enemy positions, traps, and clues that can help you make informed decisions.

Whether it's tracking down opponents, coordinating attacks, or preparing for ambushes, Bloodhound offers an engaging and dynamic playstyle for players who enjoy being at the forefront of reconnaissance and gaining the upper hand in engagements.

Abilities

• Your passive ability--known simply as Tracker--shows tracks from other players, allowing you to figure out where they've been and, potentially, where they're going. You'll also get a sense of how old the tracks are, which can let you know if you're already close to another team before they spot you.
  
  
• Bloodhound's Eye of the Allfather tactical ability is kind of like a sonar ping, giving you a brief look into an area and through walls to pick up on any enemies, traps, and clues in the area. It's a great way to check out your immediate surroundings as you enter somewhere new.
  
  
• It takes a second to execute, but Bloodhound's ultimate ability Beast of the Hunt is worth the wait. It more or less turns you into a killing machine, changing the look of the world so that it's black and white while highlighting enemies in red--even through walls. It also enhances your speed, making it possible to quickly close in on enemies and attack them in dangerous situations.

⠀

CRYPTO

⠀
⠀

Surveillance Expert

Crypto is an ideal choice for players who prefer a strategic and supportive playstyle in Apex Legends. As Crypto, you possess the ability to gather intelligence and disrupt enemy defenses using your surveillance drone.

If you enjoy being the eyes and ears of your team, gathering intel, and disrupting enemy plans, Crypto is a legend that will suit your playstyle perfectly.

Abilities

• Crypto's tactical ability is Surveillance Drone, which sends out a drone that has a variety of uses. When manually controlled, it can open and close doors, crack open loot bins, and retrieve fallen teammate's respawn beacons. You can even point the drone's camera at any of the Champion Squad banners throughout the arena, and it will show you how many squads are in your immediate vicinity.
  
  
• Though you can tag enemies with your drone, marking them with Crypto's passive ability Neurolink is what best helps your squad. Doing so highlights the enemy for your entire team, allowing allies to see targets through walls or smoke.
  
  
• Crypto's ultimate ability is Drone EMP, which does 50 shield damage--outright destroying white body armor--and slows all enemies with an effect similar to Wattson's Perimeter Security fences. Unfortunately, Crypto is affected by his own ultimate ability, so make sure you're not in the blast zone when you activate the Drone EMP.

⠀

SEER

⠀
⠀

Ambush Artist

Seer is an exciting choice for players who enjoy a calculated and stealthy playstyle in Apex Legends. As Seer, you possess unique abilities that allow you to track and locate enemies with precision.

• Lastly, his ultimate ability Exhibit will create a sphere of micro-drones that reveal the location of enemies moving quickly or firing their weapons within, though it has some notable limitations that will be mentioned below.

⠀

VANTAGE

⠀
⠀

Sniper Savant

Choosing Vantage as a beginner in Apex Legends allows you to excel in long-range combat. With enhanced accuracy provided by Vantage's passive ability, you become a formidable threat to enemies from a distance. Additionally, Vantage's mobility is a valuable asset, enabling you to quickly reposition yourself and gain a tactical advantage.

If you enjoy dominating from afar and want to be a precise and deadly force on the battlefield,

Abilities

• Vantage's Passive ability, Spotter's Lens, provides you with a bullet drop indicator when zooming in on a target. This obviously supports a ranged attack style, providing you with enhanced accuracy when attempting to deal damage to distant enemies. Taking the guess-work out of a long-distance encounter, this ability leads to Vantage being the 'apex predator' at range.
  
  
• Vantage's Echo Relocation ability provides you with the ability to quickly reposition yourself; allowing you to get an advantageous line of sight on the enemy. With this ability, Vantage can direct her pet bat, Echo, to a desired location, then quickly launch herself toward that new position.

• Vantage's Ultimate ability, Sniper's Mark, comes in the form of a custom sniper rifle, granting you one shot each time you reach 20% of your total Ultimate charge, maxing-out at five bullets. When one of these shots is landed, the enemy that was hit becomes marked, making them easier to see while also providing you and your allies with bonus damage when they are damaging the marked target. This ability is extremely useful when it comes to pointing out enemies and focusing you and your team's attention on a single target.

These abilities help control the battlefield, protect your squad, and give you an edge in engagements.
  
  
• Balancing Offense and Defense: Support legends offer a balanced playstyle, allowing you to contribute both offensively and defensively. While their focus is on supporting the team, they can still hold their own in combat. This versatility is great for beginners who want to contribute to the team's success while also having the ability to defend themselves.

• Allows them to open the secret compartment in Extended Supply Bins, which always contains regen items or survival items.
  
  
• They can use Replicators to craft respawn banner cards for their eliminated squadmates.

GIBRALTOR

⠀
⠀

Shielded Fortress

Gibraltar is an excellent choice for players who prefer a defensive and supportive playstyle in Apex Legends. As Gibraltar, you possess abilities that provide protection to both yourself and your teammates. Your tactical ability, Dome of Protection, creates a shielded area that blocks incoming attacks, allowing you to revive teammates or heal in safety. This ability is particularly useful for creating a safe zone in intense situations or providing cover during crucial moments. Gibraltar's ultimate ability, Defensive Bombardment, calls in an airstrike that deals damage and forces enemies to reposition, creating opportunities for your team to gain the upper hand. Gibraltar's playstyle revolves around being a fortress, holding down positions, and providing cover and support for your squad. Whether it's shielding your team from enemy fire, absorbing damage, or using your ultimate to disrupt enemy formations, Gibraltar offers a defensive and supportive playstyle that excels in team-oriented engagements. If you enjoy protecting and empowering your team while being a durable presence on the battlefield, Gibraltar is the perfect legend for you.

Abilities

• In any given fight, Gibraltar gets a leg-up on whoever he's battling with his Gun Shield passive ability. This is a damage-absorbing shield that covers his midsection whenever he's aiming down the sights of a gun.
  
  
• His Dome Shield tactical ability can be essential in any given fight. It creates 15 seconds of protection around a giving area, absorbing all fire in or out. That makes it great for blocking big attacks like air strikes, but any time you're facing down a situation that's not great, the shield can keep you alive long enough to get your bearings and get back the upper hand.
  
  
• While Gibraltar's abilities are mostly about defending against gunfire, his ultimate can do serious damage to unsuspecting enemies. Defensive Bombardment is a mortar strike that drops bombs around a smoke grenade Gibraltar throws onto the battlefield, and anyone caught in the middle can get fairly wrecked by it.

LIFELINE

⠀
⠀

Combat Medic

Lifeline is a great choice for players who enjoy a supportive and healing playstyle in Apex Legends. As Lifeline, you possess abilities that allow you to provide valuable medical support to your team. Your tactical ability, D.O.C. Heal Drone, deploys a drone that automatically heals nearby teammates, allowing you to keep your squad healthy during battles or in between engagements. This ability is particularly useful for quick and efficient healing, saving precious time and resources. Lifeline's ultimate ability, Care Package, calls in a drop pod that contains high-quality defensive gear and healing items. This ultimate ability not only provides essential supplies for your team but also attracts enemy attention, creating opportunities for strategic positioning. Lifeline's playstyle revolves around being a dependable support character, focused on keeping your team alive and well. Whether it's healing wounded teammates, reviving downed allies faster, or providing valuable loot through your care packages, Lifeline offers a nurturing and supportive playstyle that greatly contributes to your team's success. If you enjoy playing a vital role in sustaining your squad and ensuring their survival, Lifeline is the perfect legend for you.

Abilities

• Lifeline's passive ability is Combat Revive, which allows you to set out up to two revive drones at one time, leaving you to move around and continue fighting in battle. It's just important to protect your teammates during this hands-off revival to avoid having them be the primary target of enemies.
  
  
• Her D.O.C. Heal Drone is a great tactical ability that can save teammates and yourself from spending their health items. Lifeline can drop the drone anywhere, and anyone standing close to it gets health restored--although how much health the drone can dish out is limited, and gets split between all the nearby players. You should also note that anyone, including opponents, can make use of a healing done, so be sure to be careful about where you summon it.
  
  
• Lastly, her ultimate ability is Care Package, which allows her to call her own supply drop anywhere she wants. It's not quite as good as the supply drops that appear automatically on the map from time to time, but it's still pretty solid and can include defensive items, so you can get some sweet armor and healing items out of them--and even high-level weapon attachments.

⠀

MIRAGE

⠀
⠀

Holographic Trickster

Mirage is an excellent choice for players who enjoy a deceptive and tricky playstyle in Apex Legends. As Mirage, you possess abilities that allow you to bamboozle and confuse your enemies. Your tactical ability, Psyche Out, creates holographic decoys of yourself, which can be used to distract and misdirect opponents, giving you the element of surprise. This ability is particularly useful for creating confusion and disorienting enemies during engagements. Mirage's ultimate ability, Vanishing Act, deploys a team of decoys while cloaking yourself for a short duration, making it harder for enemies to track your movements. Mirage's playstyle revolves around deception and misdirection, tricking your opponents and creating opportunities for strategic advantages. Whether it's using decoys to lure enemies into traps, disguising your true position, or flanking unsuspecting foes, Mirage offers an unpredictable and mind-game-oriented playstyle that keeps your enemies guessing. If you enjoy outsmarting your opponents and embracing a playful and deceptive approach, Mirage is the perfect legend for you.

Abilities

• If all else fails and you got, Mirage's passive skill Now You See Me will kick in. Once you get knocked down, you'll instantly turn invisible and a decoy will drop in your place, who performs an overly dramatic death animation. This will buy you some time to crawl away to safety. However, the skill won't last long. If you're still out in the open and an enemy is nearby, then you're a prime target to get gunned down.
  
  
• Mirage's tactical ability is Psyche Out, which allows you to send out a holographic decoy to confuse the enemy. It's a skill that has a surprising number of uses. In addition to drawing enemy fire in certain hot spots, allowing you to flank or get a bead on where a foe is hiding out, it's also a great skill to use for playing mind games.
  
  
• His ultimate ability is Life of the Party. When activated, Mirage will summon a team of holograms to help distract the enemy for him. The skill is a great way to confuse enemies, who will sometimes lose track of which Mirage is the real one. This can be especially handy during tough fights in crowded spaces. Some of its best uses come when used to bail on fights that your squad is outmatched for, or when you need to get the jump on enemies during a fight.

⠀

LOBA

⠀
⠀

Translocating Thief

Loba is an excellent choice for players who enjoy a versatile and loot-focused playstyle in Apex Legends. As Loba, you possess abilities that allow you to secure valuable loot and provide support to your team. Your tactical ability, Burglar's Best Friend, allows you to teleport to hard-to-reach areas and quickly retrieve nearby loot through your Jump Drive bracelet. This ability is particularly useful for quickly gathering weapons, equipment, and healing items, giving you an advantage in the early stages of the game. Loba's ultimate ability, Black Market Boutique, lets you place a portable device that allows you and your teammates to access nearby high-tier loot. This ultimate ability not only provides you and your team with valuable gear but also attracts attention from enemies, creating opportunities for ambushes or strategic positioning. Loba's playstyle revolves around being a skilled looter and support character, focused on gathering resources and providing advantageous loot opportunities for your team. Whether it's teleporting to secure loot, providing your team with upgraded gear, or using your ultimate to gain a loot advantage, Loba offers a versatile and loot-oriented playstyle that greatly contributes to your team's success. If you enjoy being a master of looting and supporting your squad with valuable resources, Loba is the perfect legend for you.

Abilities

• Loba's tactical ability is Burglar's Best Friend, which sees her throw her bracelet and teleport to it. You can activate the teleportation early or wait for it to automatically teleport you when it reaches its maximum distance.
  
  
• Eye for Quality is Loba's passive ability, and it allows her to see purple (epic) items through obstacles, which even includes nearby loot bins, essentially making her the perfect scout for the best loot. She can even ping those items for others from quite a ways away and through the same obstacles.
  
  
• Lastly, her Black Market Boutique ultimate ability throws down a portable shop that allows each member of the squad to instantly obtain up to two nearby items and unlimited ammo. With a range of 112.5 meters, it covers a fairly large area and can be used to quickly and efficiently restock while also depriving enemy teams of important items.

⠀

NEWCASTLE

⠀
⠀

Heroic Defender

Newcastle is a fantastic choice for players in Apex Legends who want to provide vital support to their team. With Newcastle on your side, you can offer valuable assistance in crucial moments and enhance your team's chances of success. Whether it's dragging downed allies to safety, deploying protective shields, or creating defensive barriers, choosing Newcastle allows beginners to play a crucial role in ensuring the survival and victory of their team. Embrace Newcastle's supportive nature and make a significant impact in every match you play.

Abilities

• Newcastle's passive ability is Retrieve the Wounded, which allows him to drag downed allies to safety while rezzing them. During this time, he protects them with a small shield that can protect his fallen pal from enemy gunfire.
  
  
• His tactical ability Mobile Shield deploys a fairly large and tall energy shield that he can reposition and angle in any direction he wishes to protect himself and his allies from gunfire. This is an incredibly helpful tool when repositioning or simply being caught out in the open.
  
  
• Lastly, Castle Wall is Newcastle's ultimate ability, which sees the legend leap forward and slam down a massive wall shield with varying heights. This allows teammates to fire over the shorter section or hide behind the taller areas. Gunfire will destroy individual sections over time, but it can take quite a beating.

⠀

5) CONTROLLER CLASS

If you're considering the Controller class, here are some points to help you decide if it's the right choice for you:

• Area Control and Zone Manipulation: Controller legends excel at controlling the battlefield and manipulating the play area to their advantage. Their abilities allow you to create barriers, deploy traps, or alter the environment. This can be helpful for beginners who want to have a significant impact on the flow of the game.
  
  
• Tactical Advantage: Controller legends offer tactical advantages that can disrupt enemy strategies and provide opportunities for your team. These abilities can limit enemy movement, slow down their actions, or obscure their vision. As a beginner, this can give you an edge in engagements and provide breathing room for learning the game.
  
  
• Supporting Your Team: Controller legends contribute to the team's success by providing supportive elements. Their abilities can shield teammates, revive allies faster, or even provide offensive boosts. This team-oriented aspect is valuable for beginners who want to play a supportive role and help their squad.
  
  
• Balancing Offense and Defense: Controller legends offer a balanced playstyle that allows you to contribute both offensively and defensively. While their abilities focus on controlling the battlefield, they can still hold their own in combat. This versatility is great for beginners who want to have an impact on the game while also being able to defend themselves.
  
  
• Strategic Play and Game Sense: Choosing a Controller legend requires strategic thinking and good game sense. You'll need to plan your ability usage, anticipate enemy movements, and strategically position yourself to maximize your impact. This can be a rewarding challenge for beginners who enjoy tactical decision-making.

Class Perks:

• Their class perk allows them to interact with Ring Consoles to reveal where the Ring will shrink to next.

CAUSTIC

⠀
⠀

Toxic Trapper

Caustic is a solid choice for players who prefer a defensive and area control playstyle in Apex Legends. With his expertise in manipulating the battlefield, Caustic excels at locking down areas and creating hazards for enemies. His playstyle revolves around strategic positioning and denying enemy movements. Caustic can be a valuable asset in team fights, as his presence alone can force opponents to rethink their approach. Whether it's blocking off chokepoints, trapping enemies in toxic gas, or creating a fortified defense, Caustic offers a defensive playstyle that can turn the tide of battles in your favor. If you enjoy establishing a strong defensive presence and controlling the flow of engagements, Caustic is the legend for you.

Abilities

• Caustic can drop Nox Gas Trap canisters as his tactical ability. These release deadly gas when shot or triggered by enemies. Gas effectively blinds enemies, while damaging them over time, making it great for close-range encounters.
  
  
• His passive Nox Vision allows you to see enemies through gas. It's pretty convenient, as enemies afflicted by your toxic gas are highlighted in green for both you and your squadmates.
  
  
• Caustic’s ultimate ability is Nox Gas Grenade, which blankets a large area in his stinky green gas. This ability can be used defensively or offensively, putting enemy squads into a state of panic in confined space or sending them running in the other direction.

⠀

WATTSON

⠀
⠀

Static Defender

Wattson is a great choice for players who prefer a defensive and supportive playstyle in Apex Legends. With her electrical engineering skills, Wattson excels at fortifying positions and providing protection for her team. Her playstyle revolves around creating a secure environment and countering enemy attacks. Wattson's abilities allow her to set up defensive barriers and intercept incoming projectiles, giving her team an advantage in defensive situations. Additionally, her Ultimate Accelerant ability charges her ultimate ability, Interception Pylon, which can destroy enemy explosives and restore shield health to nearby teammates. This makes Wattson a valuable asset in defending key areas or holding down positions during intense firefights. If you enjoy playing a defensive and supportive role, establishing a safe zone for your team, and shutting down enemy abilities, Wattson is an excellent legend choice for you.

Abilities

• Wattson's passive ability is Spark of Genius. This allows Ultimate Accelerants to fully charge her ultimate ability, and also allows her to hold two Ultimate Accelerants per inventory slot. Additionally, she also gradually regenerates shields over time.
  
  
• Her tactical ability is Perimeter Security, which allows her to place electrical nodes that create a fence of electricity when connected. Enemies will take a bit of damage and be slowed upon moving through this electrical field.
  
  
• Interception Pylon is her ultimate ability, and it places an electrified pylon that destroys incoming ordnance, like grenades and airstrikes. It also repairs the shields of anyone standing within range. It lasts forever untouched, but enemies can destroy it.

⠀

RAMPART

⠀
⠀

Amped Modder

Rampart is an excellent choice for players who prefer a defensive and heavy firepower playstyle in Apex Legends. With her expertise in modding weapons and fortifying positions, Rampart excels at holding down areas and providing cover fire for her team. Her playstyle revolves around setting up defensive structures and maximizing her firepower. Rampart's abilities allow her to deploy a mounted machine gun, Sheila, which can lay down a barrage of bullets and suppress enemies. Additionally, she can build Amped Cover walls, providing additional cover and increased damage for herself and her teammates. Rampart's ultimate ability, Emplaced Minigun "Sheila," allows her to place a powerful turret that can shred enemies and control the battlefield. This makes Rampart a formidable force when defending or holding strategic positions. If you enjoy a defensive playstyle with a focus on heavy firepower and fortifications, Rampart is an excellent choice for you.

Abilities

• Modded Loader is Rampart's passive ability, and it's also one of her most controversial. It increases her magazine size by 15% and reload speed by 25% exclusively when using an LMG. This makes her extra deadly when she's got a Rampage or Spitfire, for instance, but it also means that she essentially doesn't have a passive ability when she's not wielding one of these large and powerful guns.
  
  
• Rampart's tactical ability Amped Cover allows her to place up to five walls on the ground at a time, with each one blocking incoming bullets while providing the ability to deal extra gun damage when shooting through them. The walls are destroyed relatively easily, however, making strategic placement extremely important. We'll get to that in a bit.
  
  
• Lastly, Rampart's ultimate ability is Mobile Minigun Sheila, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. When used, you pull out a massive minigun that takes a moment to wind up before rapidly unloading bullets into your enemies. You move quite a bit slower while wielding the minigun, making it best used on unsuspecting enemies or from more fortified positions. When placed down, it can no longer be picked up and used while moving, but it gains unlimited ammo and can be used by your teammates. Also, you'll get another one as soon as your ultimate recharges.

⠀

CATALYST

⠀
⠀

Defensive Conjurer

Catalyst is an excellent choice for players in Apex Legends looking to control the battlefield and disrupt enemy movements. With Catalyst, you can effectively block off areas using her unique abilities, forcing opponents to find alternative routes and limiting their options. By choosing Catalyst, beginners can enjoy a strategic playstyle centered around area denial and hindering enemy advances. Take advantage of her abilities to create obstacles and control the flow of battle, giving yourself and your team a tactical advantage.

• Catalyst's passive, Barricade, can lock doors with Ferrofluid, preventing them from being opened and forcing opponents to destroy them. With the Ferrofluid reinforcement, they will also require more damage to be destroyed.
  
  
• Catalyst's Tactical, Piercing Spikes, allows you to place Ferrofluid on the ground that will eject sharp piercing spikes whenever an enemy comes near. The effect this has will slow them down and deal damage.
  
  
• Catalyst's Ultimate, Dark Veil, has Catalyst raise a giant wall of Ferrofluid. This obscures the view on either side and slows down the movement of anyone that tries to pass through it. Passing through also causes brief blindness, further disincentivizing those trying to cross.
