Is Bangalore an attack legend?
Her kit seems more like Gibraltar and made for getting away not attacking.

Digital Threat gives you visibility in exchange for mobility, as you can't run while aiming down the sight, also it only works at a limited range, unlike the digital scope. It's always better to be outside of the smoke cloud when attacking, that's where Bangalore gets an advantage.
Anyway, the classes in Apex are not as clearly differentiated as those in Overwatch, and the reason for that is to allow for a more flexible gameplay. Adaptation is key for survival.

Community ManagerCan't tell you how many times I ran into smoke to which my surprise there were some Caustic variables in them. 😬
The smoke is extremely versatile. You can use it to help pick up a downed squadmate, grab their banner, or use it as cover when you're looting some boxes. She's even better when you combine smoke with the abilities of other legends. Hide Caustic's variables, Gibraltar's defensive bombardment, Octane's jumpad that's near a cliff. There's a ways to mix up how you can use the smoke in battle.
The most common reason I use it though is blanketing the enemies with it as we're advancing.
- Smoke them
- Throw grenades as we're approaching so it creates chaos and helps hide footsteps
- Wait for my squadmates to revive me
I see her as an attacker. Her Rolling Thunder is easy to escape but can eliminate an area of the battle when it's coming down to the end. If you have Gibraltar and both ultimates are available, you can toss her's first, hide it with smoke, then use Gibraltar's bombardment to lure them into it. :eahigh_file: (easier said than done, of course)
