With the launch of the third – Season of Apex Legends, the number of playable heroes has grown to 11. At the same time, the new map World’s Edge has brought the most drastic changes since the game’s release. Now let’s take a look at the five best legends of the new metagame.
5. crypto
The brilliant hacker came into the game along with the new map and serves as a spotter for his team. His kit was tailored to the sprawling environment of World’s Edge, where his drones can give him and his team a decisive advantage. His ability to pick up allied banners is a big plus, however the manual control of his drone makes him an easy target in ambushes.
4 Bangalore
Bangalore covers her team in attacks or retreats with smoke grenades and artillery fire. Additionally, she can use a speed boost under fire, making her difficult for her opponents to hit.
Since her Ulti has been disappointing so far, it was given a much-needed buff for the new – Season . In our ranking, this is enough for 4th place.
3. lifeline
Lifeline makes herself popular in every team with healing and protection. She revives fallen teammates, provides cover through shields, and uses all healing items 25% faster than any other legend. Her reduced mobility makes her more vulnerable, but this is offset by her exceptional protection and healing abilities.
2. pathfinder
Pathfinder makes it to – No. 2 on our list primarily due to his unparalleled mobility. Despite some nerfs, he is still one of the most played legends and a central part of any team.
A recent Reddit poll by user ‘DYSPROssium’ revealed that more nerfs are expected for him.
1. wraith
We’re certainly not surprising anyone with our choice to crown Wraith the best heroine of Apex Legends. Her slender build makes her the character with the smallest hitbox in the game, making her one of the hardest to hit. Wraith’s tactical skill is considered the best in the entire game. With it, she can avoid any damage for a few seconds and move faster.
What is actually… “Apex Legends?
Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?
What is “Apex Legends” about?
Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.
- Genre: Battle Royale shooter
- Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.
At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.
To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.
Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.
Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.

Which technical terms should you know?
Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.
