Season 24 has brought huge changes to Apex Legends, from class buffs and meta shifts to Movement-focused updates and weapon reworks. Whether you’re grinding Ranked or fragging out in pubs, knowing which Legends are actually worth running is key.
This list combines insights from two of the most trusted Apex creators — Rogue and TimProVision — and covers the Split 2 ranked meta in full. This is not a competitive (ALGS) tier list — it’s made for Ranked grinders at all levels.
Let’s break down who’s at the top, who’s struggling, and who’s just… there.
🧠 Apex Legends Season 24 Ranked Tier List
| Tier | Legends |
|---|---|
| OP (Overpowered) | Ash, Alter, Ballistic, Lifeline, Watson, Bangalore, Mad Maggie, Newcastle, Fuse |
| S (Strong Meta Picks) | Rampart, Wraith, Revenant, Vantage, Horizon, Loba, Valkyrie, Mirage |
| A (Solid Choices) | Pathfinder, Catalyst, Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Seer |
| B (Viable but Situational) | Conduit, Crypto, Octane |
| C (Struggling in the Current Meta) | Caustic |
🏆 OP Tier – Legends You Need to Be Using
These Legends are dominating Ranked right now. Whether it’s raw movement, Support strength, or Control power — they do it all.
- Ash & Alter: The teleport meta is here. Ash’s dash + portal combo and Alter’s reset ult + instant rez window make them top-tier picks.
- Ballistic: Fast reloads, movement boosts, and fully-kitted sling weapons — Ballistic is everything you want in an aggressive pick.
- Watson & Lifeline: Defensive queens. Watson shuts down explosives and holds space, while Lifeline’s fast heals and rezs are clutch with the current time-to-kill.
- Mad Maggie: Great counter to fortified setups and her speed makes her lethal in close quarters.
- Newcastle: Still a top-tier support if you use him right. Pullteammates to cover, drop a wall, and revive safely.
- Fuse: The definition of pressure. His ultimate zones perfectly and grenade spam is more brutal than ever.
- Bangalore: Fast, reliable, and hard to hit with smoke + Double Time. She thrives in chaos.
💪 S Tier – You’ll See These A Lot
These Legends are excellent and have high success rates, but they’re just a notch below the OP tier due to requiring more skill or not being as universally plug-and-play.
- Rampart: Shines in the right hands. Minigun + cover can dominate fights if positioned well.
- Wraith: Classic escape power and consistent damage. Great at repositioning.
- Revenant: Great movement and survivability. Less utility for team, but strong if you’re playing selfish.
- Vantage: Long-range support with good recon and movement tools.
- Horizon: Still slippery and annoying, with great lift value and crowd control.
- Loba: Helps your team get kitted and rotate, especially in endgame situations.
- Valkyrie: Slightly weaker than past seasons, but still excellent for vertical fights and escape.
- Mirage: Surprisingly effective in lower skill lobbies — deceptive and hard to pin down.
🧱 A Tier – Solid But Meta Dependent
Still great picks depending on playstyle and comp. These Legends are just not top-tier in this fast, movement-heavy meta.
- Pathfinder: High-skill, but his grapple cooldown and zipline nerfs hurt him.
- Catalyst: Good for setup and denial, but hard to execute in fast-paced ranked.
- Bloodhound: Basic but reliable scans. Works well with aggressive teammates.
- Gibraltar: Bubble still works, but slower pace Legends are fading out.
- Seer: Fallen hard from grace. His scans are still decent, but most players opt for Bloodhound.
🎯 B Tier – Niche, Situational, or Underrated
These can work in the right hands or team comps, but usually not a first-pick Legend.
- Conduit: Strong on paper, but healing perks don’t hit as hard this season.
- Crypto: Too slow for Ranked’s pace. His drone needs full attention, which most players don’t have time for.
- Octane: Speed is good, but his jump pad is predictable and easy to punish.
💤 C Tier – Avoid Unless You’re a Main
These Legends are struggling hard. Pick them if you love them, but don’t expect easy wins.
- Caustic: Gas is no longer scary. Too easy to counter with movement and grenades.
Final Thoughts
Apex Legends is in one of its most aggression-heavy metas ever, and the Legends that thrive are the ones who move fast, reset fights, or constantly apply pressure. Support legends are rising, Controller legends are fading, and mobility reigns supreme.
Play who you love — but if you’re grinding ranked and want results, stick to OP and S tier picks.
