Which of the legends stands out as the Best Apex Legends Character in Season 24? We’ve broken down the best legend in every class.

With so many legends to choose from after 24 seasons of Apex Legends, the choice can feel overwhelming. Choosing the best Apex Legends character can make that crucial difference in your games.

So, which legends should you be choosing in your next Apex Legends game and why?

The overall best Apex Legends character

Ash

The best Apex Legends character in Season 24 is undoubtedly Ash. Ash got a huge buff as part of a range of buffs to the Assault Class and this has made her fearsome to face in battle.

However, besides her huge power in game Ash is also one of the most enjoyable Legends to play thanks to her new Passive. Called Predators Pursuit, Ash can perform a dash while in the air. This is a really cool and powerful mechanic to play around with. It allows you do make full use of some crazy movement tech, break your enemies ankles and hit some of the coolest clips you've ever seen in Apex Legends.

Her other abilities are also really strong. Phase Breach is a great way to reposition your entire team, allowing you to take advantage of an opening knock or escape from a tight spot.

Ash's tactical ability, Arc Snare allows her to throw a projectile that tethers enemies and stops them from escaping.

Finally Ash's Arc Snare is another reason why she is the best Apex Legends Character right now. This is a super flexible ability that can be used both to attack or defend in an Apex Legends game. In addition, this ability pairs really well with Grenades or abilities from Legends like Caustic and Fuse. The Assault Class buffs gave Ash the ability to hold more Grenades, further boosting her power.

The best Apex Legends Character in the Controller Class

Catalyst

The Controller class has some of the lowest pickrates in the general game. But, they also have some of the highest pick rates among professional players in ALGS. That's because the Controller Legends are primarily built for holding positions and playing buildings. We all know that just makes your games pretty damn boring, there isn't millions on the line after all.

So, the Best Apex Legends Character in the Controller Class is the one who has the most flexibility and utility in open spaces. There is a clear winner, Catalyst.

Taking control of doors as Catalyst is a widely underrated ability. Doing this mid fight can be make or break. You can event trap your opponents outside the building they are playing. The ability to replace broken doors also comes in handy way more than you'd imagine, especially after taking a fight.

Catalyst's Piercing spikes aren't ground breaking, but get the job done.

Her Dark Veil is where her real flexibility comes in, and why she is one of the best Apex legends Characters. The ability to use the wall to either protect yourself, rotate through open spaces or divide an enemy team in two is very powerful.

This ability is even more powerful now she blocks all scans, including Seer's ultimate with this wall. Finally a true counter to all the scan abilities in game.

The best Apex Legends Character in the Recon Class

Bloodhound

Sadly, the best Apex Legends Character in the Recon class is actually a pretty tough choice. None of the recon Legends are particularly strong in Apex Season 24.

From the options avaliable, Bloodhound stands out as the best Apex Legends Character in the Recon Class. This Legend might not be as powerful as they were in their prime back in earlier seasons but they are still a great option for your games

The reason for this is simply information. The Recon class has become significantly weaker over the last few seasons but the simplicity of the information that Bloodhound provides is great for solo queue players or teams who aren't using voice communication.

The best Apex Legends Character in the Support Class

Loba

Loba is a really strong choice in the Support Class. The support class got a huge power boost in Season 23 and we had a huge range of strong options. Frankly, all the Support Legends are still pretty good.

What helps Loba stand out as the best Apex Legends character in the support class is how comfortable she allows you to be in game. Favourite weapon, easy to find. Ammo running low, no worries at all. Care Package nearby, don't mind if I do!

Loba is also an excellent option for resetting, and her movement abilities have been improved so she can also play pretty aggressively now with her Burglars Friend. Having multiple charges of this ability allows you to make some really brave movements or get out of a dangerous sitiation.

Some teams have previously used her in ALGS, as she allows easy access to loot from teams that fight nearby. This can be very valuable for 'fast rotate' zone teams.

Loba even ensures that you won't miss a single high tier item as you move around the map, thanks to her passive ability.

The best Apex Legends Character in the Skirmisher Class

Pathfinder

Pathfinder is one of the most picked legends at the moment for a reason. He fits two crucial aspects. Pathfinders abilities are powerful, and he is also one of the most enjoyable legends to play in the game.

The Skirmisher Class is full of strong legends, but Pathfinder stands out as the best Apex Legends Character above the rest of the Skirmishers.

His Zipline received some substantial improvements way back in Season 16 which made him a lot better. The extra speed and distance has helped this ability compete with other rotation abilities. This has been double buffed by the class passive combining with his own personal passive. Scanning care packages gives Pathfinder his Zipline back. Meaning you can chain several ziplines back to back thanks to this ability.

Where Pathfinder really excels as the Skirmisher classes best Apex Legends Character is with his Grapple. This is a high skill ceiling ability that can help you make incredible aggressive plays, or escape from a tight spot. He doesn't feature much in ALGS these days, but for the general playerbase he is an incredibly powerful choice.
