Apex Legends Season 9 Tier List

hey everyone i hope you're well today we are tackling the monumentous task of putting all the legends in a tier list the apex legends season 9 tillers now this is specifically for battle royale if you want to see an arena's talis let me know either way we're going to start with c and make our way all of the way up to s like usual talking about each legend as we go now this is kind of aimed towards more just their overall potential not specifically super high tier player or anything but um yeah maybe it will help you decide what legend to get next however the legend you're playing is good or not now going into this list i have to say this season is pretty balanced so play any legend you like if you do wear them then that's great right let's get into it starting off in cj we have rampart i am a ramp up main i love rampart's abilities i think our walls can really zone down players and give you a lot of control in the midst of the carnage but the thing is she can be pretty immobile and she takes a lot of micromanagement that a lot of other legends don't really need to worry about they can just press the tactical button it can do something for them very simply whereas rampart takes a lot more planning and skill and if you just sit there and set up your walls and just hope that people come your way it's not really going to work people are going to just run all over you robots tactical is pretty decent though rampant's passive is also pretty good with the spitfire nerf her value that was kind of there in season 8 has dropped down a little bit and on top of that her ultimate it's still very situational it's kind of like a good third-party tool or to put pressure on players in the late game rings it's pretty useful if you know how to use it but there's so many better ultimates in the game and ultimately well you can just check the overall player base you can tell not many people enjoy playing her because they struggle to do well with her can you do well for her yes like every legend in this list sorry for all right button ct up next we have good old fusey now fuse did get a buff in season nine however i still think he's pretty low tier the major problem with fuse is his ultimate's pretty useless it really sucks to have such a potentially powerful out do pretty much nothing most of the time the visibility on this is really terrible you put it down you can hardly even see through it players can just jump over it if players inside the ultimate if you manage to actually capture someone just ads with a digi threat they're actually going to be at the advantage instead of you so that's pretty uh pretty big issue there fuses tactical is actually really good right now though and it's really his saving grace because fuse being able to have two customer cells say at the start of a game can really turn things around it gives you so much damage you can use it to kind of just throw it in a doorway to give you some extra time to heal up or something it does provide a lot of potential and extra power and honestly i think fuse is a little underrated right now because of that tactical buff and this passive's pretty fun as well it comes in handy sometimes although there's times where you kind of wish that the standard grenade throw distance was available like you can't throw sky nades you can't throw a grenade in the air and wait for it to land on the ground and explode which is kind of like a big issue you know but anyway it feels pretty decent uh but just not quite enough to really compete with the other legends next we have course tick now of course the cast is still annoying to play around it's still gonna kind of annoy you it's going to be hard to get around you're not really going to want to go on caustics guess much but it's probably not going to kill you unless you run into it with like 10 health which is something i do a bit too much but either way he's been enough to the ground now it's really easy to move through the gas you can see in the gas really well it's not going to damage you much his gas power has just been reduced so much that he's just not scary anymore he was absolutely dominant at the start of season eight and he got such a big nerf to the point where you just don't really see many classics anymore it makes a lot of sense to gas just lost its power and that's what caustic is gas he's just one smelly man that's lost a lot of his smell in this season now we're moving on to bt first up we've got bangalore now i actually think bangalore's a really good legend really versatile but she's sometimes a little bit selfish her smoke grenades can work well if you're coordinating well with the team otherwise they can create a lot of confusion and carnage good news though is that the visibility is better than in season 8 they fixed that now and it's really hard to see through the smoke but sometimes in amongst the carnage that can actually be a bad thing for your teammates but you know it could work well for you bangalore's passive has always been really amazing it's really nice to be able to have a quick boost of speed whether you're strafing in fights so you need to back out very quickly a really good ability and bangalore's ultimate is also really powerful for kind of creating some opportunities to reposition or slow down enemy pushes but a lot of the time people will just use their abilities to get around the missiles or just walk through them before they explode so it's not quite as effective as many other repositioning tools in the game right now ultimately bangalore's solid she's basically the best example of a well-balanced legend because she hasn't changed in so long because she doesn't really need a buff she doesn't really need a nerf she's just middle of the pack she's decent you can do really well with her but there's not really anything amazing about her abilities next up we move on to lifeline now lifeline got a bit of an upgrade and a downgrade at the same time her wrist shield is gone but that resin power is still there and very useful at times but it definitely has had a bit of a nerf it's easier to kind of focus the kills now when a lifeline is rezzing somebody and lifeline can't play in and out of the shield so effectively so she's lost some combat power which is a shame as a combat medic her ultimate though has had a buff which is nice you can now get guaranteed upgrades to the current gear that your teammates are using all the way up to gold which is quite nice but you're not really gonna get many upgrades in the game the ultimate cooldown time is five minutes now instead of six but that's still a long time you're gonna get about two or three outs in a game on average unless you pick up a bunch of art accelerants maybe late game you can upgrade to some nice purple and gold gear which is a nice upgrade her tactical healing speed is also good and sometimes i found myself using it a bit more but overall she's just once again kind of that legend that does provide quite a lot of value to the team but not so much that you absolutely should pick her in a competitive setting or anything there's so many better choices gibby kind of revives better than lifeline does mirage revives better than lifeline does loba has better overall looting potential than lifeline does so you can see why she's kind of lower tier of course what underrated change with lifeline now is she no longer has low profile and she is probably the legend that suffered the most from low profile because low profile legends used to take more well the same damage to the legs as they would to their body other legends take reduced leg damage and lifeline was like 80 legs so this was kind of a big issue no that's no longer there she's gonna fare better basically which is nice one legend that's going to fair perhaps even more is watson who i would argue has the best hitbox and animation set in the game now since wraith's hitbox has been nerfed as well as her animations so if you want a legend where you can just focus solely on fighting and not even think about abilities then watson can be a pretty good choice if for some reason you don't want to play wraith obviously race get out of jail free card with her q is super useful but watson's an alternative and once they fix the electric fence then maybe she'll be better off for you she's a really good hitbox he has really good strafing the fences can work well with his own players up close in some situations but besides that she doesn't really have that much value she's a bit boring to play sure if you can set up for the late game and set up her alt and have enough ultimate accelerant so that you can keep that out going so that people aren't just gonna push you as soon as it goes that can be useful but she doesn't have as much power as she used to have when she could put down multiple ultimates and never have them run out unless they get destroyed so she's been dropped down a little bit now the meta's kind of gone away from her she's not really that important although she does fare well thanks to her hitbox and strafing so a bit of an interesting legend really next we have revenant now reverend has a pretty powerful tactical in my opinion a nice tiny bit of damage and being able to silence players is really good the ultimate can also be really powerful depending on how you kind of communicate with your team and what legends you have on your team we saw how devastating the octane revenant combo was in season eight and i think that that's still going to be pretty powerful in season 9. so revenant is really valuable if you want to use him and commit to being able to kind of go for that revenant alt-push play style otherwise you know there's better legends he's super tall he's kind of easy to hit sure his passive can be useful in some situations but not really ultimately these big deal legends are decent and they can do really well they're just not taking the spotlight right now the same can be said with mirage who i think is still pretty underrated you could do so well with mirage if you learn how to be a really good bamboozler you can fool people enough to just basically get free peaks free kills and just completely run wild with his abilities and just do some crazy stuff if you're a really great mirage player i think there's nothing stopping you from going all of the way to pred to be honest that invisible revive can be really valuable too and even the invisible respawn thing as well which is pretty decent so overall i think mirage can be really really good it's just when he's actually in the midst of things he doesn't really have too much available for his team when his team is actually alive if the bamboozles don't work he doesn't have any mobility abilities or anything like that so once again he's decent but he's just sort of middle of the pack a b-tier next we move on to eight tier starting with loba i think loba's a really good legend in season nine she's had a really nice buff to her tactical it works most of the time now and most importantly you can move at full speed when you're throwing it which is really really valuable you're never going to be pushed down anymore really because you can just slide jump all over the place and just keep yourself mobile whilst the ring is traveling through the air such a good change for her her ultimate cool down time has been nerfed but the ultimate's still as powerful as ever so you're really going to be able to do well with it and get gear pretty much on drop you still have that kind of start ultimate charge which is really going to allow you to like get some good stuff pretty early on which is really really valuable in my opinion being able to constantly top up with tons of ammo as well throughout the game is just really helpful especially in late game ranked when you know the ammo supply is kind of dropping down a bit ultimately loba has some really valuable loot powers and a decent mobility ability just over a really great legend next we have horizon now horizon was nerfed massively she went from what i would consider the best legend in the game to just ate here now she is still going to be pretty good on olympus and wild edge right now because there's a lot of verticality and that gravity lift is still going to do really well her mid-air strafing is still really good i mean the strafing that she gets from her passive she can do some really good bunny hops she can do some really good tap strafing wall jumping all of that really high speed movement is really good on horizon so she's still going to be really good in combat because of that she just can't sit on top of her gravity lift anymore which is quite a big nerf and her ultimate is still really really strong as well so she's still really good legend she's just not the best anymore because she's lost a lot of that pressure that she could get by just sitting on top of the gravity lift and strafing back and forth like crazy next we have crypto crypto has had all sorts of quality of life changes to kind of keep him relevant but he's always been a pretty good legend if you can have a team that can coordinate well of him you need to be able to communicate with your team so that you can give up your own control of your player character and take control of the drone to do old pushes or scan the area for players he can be really really really good especially in ranked when you have a coordinated team otherwise it's a little trickier to use crypto but he does have some nice changes that can make him pretty powerful these days you can respawn your teammates you can get your teammates banners you can open care packages from a distance to see what's inside you can quickly see how many squads are in the area and there's tons of banner frames around now so that's easier to do the ultimate can be really powerful to create pushes off of crypto can be really good and can help to carry your team to a victory if you coordinate well of your team next we have a plus we have basically the movement legends we have pathfinder he no longer has low profile anymore which is really nice this grapple is really good the cooldown isn't as good as it used to be but the momentum and speed and distance you can get on the grapple when you use it effectively is just so so incredible you can't deny it's still the best movement ability in the game it's really only limited by that cooldown but i find a zipline can also be useful in many situations you can go further than the tunnel the phase tunnel that wraith has although you're a little bit more vulnerable but it allows you to get some pretty good height advantages as well so pretty good ability in my opinion his passive is kind of a mess right now but at least he still has a recon which is nice moving on we have octane now many people may disagree with octane still being this high yes he takes 20 half per stim now but he still really effective at pushing and creating good flanks and just being really mobile and his ultimate is still such a really powerful ability for you and your team to reposition disengage engage whatever you need to do the speed and momentum and distance you can get on this is really really good and the fact that all of your team can use it as many times as they need it's really powerful many people would just argue that octane is just for pubs and he just pushes and all the octanes on their team just get themselves killed but if you play octane well instead of just being aggressive and stupid he can still be really valuable to the team honestly i now have to talk about valkyrie now valkyrie i've put in a plus tier i think that her passive mobility is really good to be able to reposition in and around buildings very effectively that gives her a lot of power that no other legend does because you just have so much repositioning power because the ability is based on her passive you know has a limited amount of fuel but you can still move around a lot now if you're just gonna fly out in the open you'll die she just floats in the air like crazy it's not as fast as a pathfinder grapple an octane jump pad or a horizon gravity lift when you move around with it so it's balanced pretty well but the tactical is also really really strong not only does it damage players a bit but it slows them a lot there have been so many times i've used valkyrie's tactical to just slow down an enemy and be able to create a push off of that it's really really effective honestly and the ultimate's really good as well you can get out of situations really fast you can get into the ring when it's pushing you down and you'll be outside of the map and the fact that you can use that with your team really powerful team-based ability the cooldown is pretty long but yeah really decent factor is definitely really strong just not super overpowered like horizon was when she launched in season seven vaga is also a recon legend so that's a nice little benefit too she has the recon passive so pretty useful and ranked finally we have s tier first is wraith yes wraith had her hitbox nerfed but she doesn't have low profile anymore and the fact of the matter is her tactical works differently to other abilities because unlike other mobility abilities where you actually have to move through the game and can be shot at you're invincible when you're in this mode you're literally invincible without really any abilities like that in the game and that provides so much power it doesn't just provide you repositioning power it provides you time precious precious time for third parties to come for your teammates to come and help you it's one of the best abilities in the game perhaps the best tactical if you're the kind of player that just likes to play aggressive focus on your aim and just have that as a crutch when you need it the ultimate has been nerfed to the ground but it's still really useful for repositioning because once again you can pair it with your tactical and basically make yourself invincible and untouchable whilst you create a portal for you and your team to travel through that's really going to help you for repositioning especially in ranked when you have a lot of eyes on your location next we have gibby gibby's dome kind of provides that similar protection you can put it out in the open and provide some opportunity to get in and out of cover really good in olympus good and well dead too his ultimate provides a lot of pressure for players as well and even though his arm shield now has sexual damage so if you shoot a crater at gibby most of that crabber damage is going to affect him it still gives him a bit more bulkiness you know he's going to be able to peak angles better and just be able to put more pressure on teammates because of that gun shield still the faster revive as well is really good he's definitely a better healer than lifeline because he can do it under the safety of his dome so really strong legend and you'll see him a lot in high level play for sure finally we have bloodhound now bloodhound tactical is still super crucial it's really really valuable especially in ranked games where you just want that information to know what's been happening where the players are where their locations are pair that with the ultimate you have constant regular scans it's just really really good bloodhound's mobility in the ultimate is also really valuable and you can be very aggressive with it or very disengaging you know you can use it in many different ways whether you want to play kind of for yourself and you want a good legend that has abilities that can help you what you want to play for your team but how it has it all really bloodhound really does have it all once again they are recon so they do get that recon passive ultimately that is this list i would say that this is my opinion and just because a legend isn't seated doesn't mean you can't be good with them just because a legend isn't ester it doesn't mean you should play them play who you like and at the end of the day you'll be able to get good with pretty much anybody at this point the legend mata is pretty balanced so what do you think let me know and i see you in the comments cheerio
