Ash Rework

Now I have been playing Ash for a good amount of time now and personally, I think she needs a rework. She isn’t by any means the least viable legend in Apex right now, but as we continue to move on season by season, I believe she should be getting a look at from the developers. Her tactical is very underwhelming and I believe it needs the biggest rework. Her ultimate ability is good when put in a situation that requires either an escape or a reposition. Her passive ability is great in my opinion and honestly doesn’t need to be changed at all. Over the time that I have been playing Ash, I have developed some ideas for a rework of her tactical and a buff of her ultimate.

Tactical

Considered to be one of the most underwhelming tactical’s in the game for some. It is clear that Ash’s tactical could use some changes. Here are some that I see could be viable in the future seasons:

  1. Buff of the speed of her snare (more like the speed of valkyrie’s missiles)
  2. Buff the damage it does once snared (could add damage overtime since they are tethered or a buff to around 20 or 30 damage on impact)
  3. Give more charges (Like fuse since he gets 2 cluster grenades as a tactical)
  4. A stronger pull towards the center of the tether (allows for more plays to be made)
  5. This is a very controversial one. Possible honing upon enemies (could allow her to be viable in pro leagues)
  6. Make it so that movement characters such as Loba and Wraith aren’t able to escape using their abilities (this would make her more viable in the current meta)

Those are just a few ideas I have come up with and if anybody would like to add some just reply.

Ultimate Ability

By no means is ash’s portal the worst in the game and it actually is very useful given certain situations. Her portal is more useful than wraiths in some situations and I say this because she is extremely useful at grabbing high ground in fights, which is an area that wraith lacks. Although her ultimate has benefits, it also has weaknesses. Her ultimate can be seen as too short in length and very loud in game so here are a few changes surrounding that:

  1. Lengthening ash’s portal just like they are doing to wraith in season 16 (possibly double it’s current length)
  2. Ash is seen as a more sneaky character so maybe making a quieter ultimate rather than a louder one (half of what it is currently)
  3. Maybe making it possible to close her portal so she can avoid being chased or ambushed when using her ultimate (much like Loba markets)

Those are currently all the adjustments I would take into consideration going into season 16. Again if there is anything anyone would like to add let me know.

  • I just unlocked ash yesterday and I really like this idea. I do agree that her tactical is too slow so you will end up missing a lot. I do disagree about making her tactical a homing one tho.

  • @crozxn It’s very unlikely that she will ever see competitive play as long as she has a similar ult to wraith, she needs a completely new ult else it will always be wraith or ash
  • I completely agree. She is my favorite character and introducing her was so much hype to the game but the delivery was bland and disappointing. She deserves much more love from the developers. Check out this idea of a rework for ash and let me know what you think! Hopefully some devs will pick up on this.
