Apex Legends has seen significant changes in Season 22, leading to a shakeup in the meta. If you’re looking to stay competitive, it’s essential to know which Legends stand out and which ones have fallen behind.
Here’s a detailed tier list that ranks the best and worst Legends for the new season. Let us know in the comments which Legend you’ve been enjoying the most!
D-Tier Legends: Struggling to Keep Up
- Mirage
Sadly, Mirage finds himself in the D-tier. With the new Battle Sense health bar update, it’s easier for players to identify the real Mirage, weakening his effectiveness in competitive play. - Octane
While Octane is fun to play, his abilities don’t contribute much to team success, making him a poor choice for serious team compositions. However, if you’re in it for fun, Octane still delivers a thrilling experience. - Ballistic
Ballistic’s abilities are underwhelming compared to other Legends. Although his akimbo weapons and slingshot perk offer some power, his tactical is easy to avoid, reducing his overall impact. - Ash
Ash’s ultimate is less effective compared to other Legends, and while her tactical is better, it’s still easy for opponents to dodge. Ash needs a buff to rise above the D-tier.
C-Tier Legends: Average, But Not Outstanding
- Caustic
Caustic is struggling in Season 22 despite buffs to controller Legends. The Battle Sense update makes it easier to track enemies in his gas, which limits his effectiveness. - Wraith
Wraith’s abilities are less impactful as new Legends emerge, making her less of a must-pick in the current meta. - Gibraltar (Jalter)
Gibraltar sits between C and B tier, benefitting from the shotgun buffs and the gun shield hop-up on LMGs. However, these advantages are situational, keeping him in the C-tier. - Sear
Sear is the weakest Recon Legend this season. Despite Recon buffs, the health bar update renders his tactical less useful.
B-Tier Legends: Solid Choices with Potential
- Catalyst
Catalyst benefits from controller buffs and excels on the new map with her ability to fortify doors, making her a strong B-tier pick. - Newcastle
Newcastle’s revival capabilities shine, especially with the new gold loot bins, making him a reliable support Legend. - Loba
Loba is highly versatile, especially on the new map, where loot is spread out. Her ultimate allows quick stocking, and her tactical helps escape tricky situations. - Valkyrie
Valkyrie remains effective on the new District map, where her jetpack and ultimate help navigate large buildings. - Conduit
Recently nerfed, Conduit still offers strong team healing but sits comfortably in the B-tier. - Ulta
The newest addition to Apex, Ulta is a solid B-tier pick. Her tactical and ultimate are useful on the new map, where players are still learning the layout. - Mad Maggie
With recent shotgun buffs, Mad Maggie’s tactical shines, though her ultimate remains inconsistent, keeping her in the B-tier.
A-Tier Legends: Powerful and Reliable
- Rampart
Rampart is a strong A-tier pick, benefiting from controller buffs and recent improvements to her ultimate and LMGs. In skilled hands, she can dominate the battlefield. - Crypto
Crypto’s Recon abilities have been enhanced, making him a top-tier Intel provider. The new Off the Grid perk adds extra safety while using his drone. - Bloodhound
Bloodhound remains a great Recon Legend, with their ultimate and tactical still proving invaluable on the new map. - Horizon
Horizon’s movement abilities make her one of the best Legends, especially with the aim assist nerfs and the new map’s elevation. - Revenant
Revenant’s movement and ultimate remain strong, making him a consistent A-tier pick. - Pathfinder
Pathfinder’s zip line and movement abilities keep him in the A-tier, especially with his new ability to scan both survey beacons and ring consoles. - Vantage
Vantage shines in Season 22, with her sniper now dealing more damage and her passive working on all sights. Her mobility and Recon capabilities make her a strong pick. - Fuse
Fuse’s knuckle clusters and ultimate buffs make him a formidable assault Legend, solidifying his place in the A-tier. - Lifeline
Lifeline’s support abilities, especially with the new gold loot bins, make her a top-tier support Legend.
S-Tier Legends: The Best of the Best
- Bangalore
Bangalore remains an S-tier Legend despite minor nerfs. Her smokes and passive are still among the best, allowing her to control the flow of battles. - Wattson
Wattson has been blessed this season with multiple buffs, including her ability to remotely pick up fences and a much stronger ultimate. She’s an incredible Legend in Season 22, with unmatched defensive capabilities.
