Wraith Buff
I've been playing Wraith since I've started playing Apex, and overall, i quite like her character and her skills. and by no means am i a expert player. On paper, her skills seem really useful. Her p...
I like Wraith, though I do have a couple issues with her.
The inability to open a door while using her Tactical feels silly.
The main issue I have is with her Ultimate though. I still remember the first time I used it:
My teammates were down, side by side, I was in the distance with a long range rifle. I used my Ultimate and rushed towards my fallen allies, ducking and covering and avoiding fire. I reach them and open the portal! They both crawl through to the safety of my snipers perch... or so I thought... as I'm picking them up an enemy leaps through my portal and shoots me in the face with a shotgun.
I uhh... I'm not sure if I'm saying that an enemy shouldn't be able to use my portal. I think test best solution would be allowing Wraith to close it as she sees fit before the 60 seconds is up.
Yeah...the ability to close it would be really nice.
And everyone inside the portal while it's being closed would be sent directly into the void 👿

Somewhat of a similar experience over here. We took out a squad as the ring was closing in and I still needed to loot their crates. I was low on health and unlikely not going to make it if I continued looting. Wraith set up a portal next to me and took off towards the balloon so I was able to survive.
I'd like to change up the conversation a little bit. For those that claim she is one of the best Legends in the game, can you give some descriptive examples of where she excels the most and/or give some tips to others on how to make the best out of her abilities?

I wouldn't use the word best as I don't think any legend should be "best" I would say her abilities are on par with other legends people are claiming as "better".
I also think her being categorized as an assault class is a miss categorization as none of her abilities do any damage. Passive gives situational awareness. Her ability gives limited invulnerability at the cost of vision of the enemy and ult gives your group enhanced movement between 2 points. These all seem to be "utility" abilities and not "assault" and I think she should be in the same class as lifeline and pathfinder.
Passive ability: alerts you when enemies are near or aiming at you.
Pretty self explanatory People complaining about their legends not alerting the whole party, it is UP TO YOU to alert your party this is what separates a skilled player from an amateur.
Tactical ability: Into the Void
Use A. Crossing areas under heavy fire to get an advantageous position or to get to teammates in distress.
Use B. Tank damage while distracting the enemy so your teammates can hit them from another angle. Flanking is a risky tactical decision as it isolates you from the rest of your group so being able to tank some damage while on your own is very benificial to your team and can allow them to also get the kill on the enemy.
Use C. escape from situations you would otherwise lose i.e. someone just hit you with a perfect grenade pop into the void and avoid all damage
Use D. Avoid damage from the red zone
Ultimate Ability
Use A. Elevator: quickly move your team from the top of something to the bottom and vice versa
Use B. flanking: use to move the whole team into a flank position. Ex: your teammates are engaging the enemy drop your portal (out of sight of the enemy) and flank now your team can move back and forth between ranged and close quarters combat.
Use C. get your team out of the red zone quickly
I literally had like 6 bullet points written for each ability but the page keeps timing me out and saying session ex[pired when i post and i have to re write the whole thing so i've done that twice now and its now a condensed version.
Wraiths abilities aren't just point and click like some of the other legends they require more tactical decision making and situational awareness. This is what gives her a high skill cap.
that being said i think she should be able to use ziplines and open doors while using her Ultimate ability and be able to cancel the portal prematurley
