Wraith↑
Regular BR
Use Wraith's Tactical Ability for Mobility: While Wraith's tactical ability, Into the Void, can be used defensively, it can also be used to move quickly around the map. Use it to flank enemies, escape dangerous situations, or reach high ground.
Experiment with Wraith's Ultimate Ability: In the non-competitive play, you have more freedom to experiment with Wraith's ultimate ability, Dimensional Rift. Try using it to move across the map quickly, to escape the storm, or to flank enemies from unexpected angles.
Be Aggressive: Non-competitive play is a great opportunity to be more aggressive with your play style. Wraith's mobility and small hitbox make her a great option for pushing enemies and getting in close for shotgun or melee kills.
Use Cover: Just like in a competitive play, Wraith's small hitbox makes her difficult to hit, but it's important to use cover to minimize damage. Peek out from cover to take shots at enemies, and use your tactical ability to quickly move between cover.
Communicate with Your Team: Communication is still important in the non-competitive play, especially if you're playing with random teammates. Use your mic or ping system to coordinate with your team and let them know when you're using your abilities.
Use Wraith's Passive Ability: Wraith's passive ability, Voices from the Void, can give you valuable information about enemy positions. Listen for the warning and use it to plan your movements and avoid being caught off guard.
Choose a Loadout that Complements Wraith's Abilities: Wraith is versatile and can be effective with a variety of weapons, but it's important to choose a loadout that complements her play style. Try out different weapons to see what works best for you.
Lifeline↑
Regular BR
Use your revive to its fullest potential: Lifeline's revive ability allows her to revive two players at the same time, which can be incredibly useful in a pinch. Additionally, you can now cancel active revives in progress to allow your teammate to defend themselves with their knockdown shield. This can be a game-changer if you're in a tight spot and need to revive teammates quickly.
Make the most of your healing drone: Lifeline's D.O.C. Heal Drone is a great tool for healing your team quickly and efficiently. With 8hp per second, it's not the fastest healing method, but it can be a lifesaver in the middle of a fight. The deployment time before healing begins has been reduced by roughly 33%, making it faster and more responsive. Be careful when using it in the middle of a fight, as enemies can also benefit from its healing abilities.
Use your ultimate to upgrade your team's gear: Lifeline's ultimate ability drops a care package that guarantees an upgrade (if possible) in three categories: Body Shield, Other Equipment (Helmet, Backpack, and Knockdown Shield), and Weapon Attachment, based on your team's current gear when the Package arrives. This can be incredibly helpful if your team is lacking in any of these categories, so try to use it strategically.
Stay close to your team: As a support character, Lifeline is most effective when she's close to her team. Stick with your teammates and use your abilities to keep them alive and healthy. In addition, be sure to communicate with your team about when and where you're using your abilities so they can make the most of them.
Be mindful of your surroundings: While Lifeline's abilities are powerful, they can also draw attention to your team. Be mindful of your surroundings and try not to use your abilities in open areas where you're likely to be spotted by enemies. Instead, use them strategically behind cover or in areas where you're less likely to be seen.

Work with your team to coordinate attacks and defenses using your abilities. Catalyst's abilities are best used in a coordinated effort with your team.
Master your movement: As with any Legend, mastering your movement is crucial in Apex Legends. Catalyst is a relatively new addition to the game, so it's important to practice using her abilities in combination with her movement.

Make the most of Wrecking Ball. This ultimate ability can be used to chase down enemies, thanks to the speed-boosting pads it launches. Detonate the ball near enemies to deal damage and to disorient them. Use this ability to initiate a fight or to push enemies out of cover.
Use Mad Maggie's abilities in combination with each other. For example, use Riot Drill to create an opening in enemy defenses, then follow up with Warlord's Ire to highlight any enemies you damage. Finish them off by chasing them down with Wrecking Ball's speed pads.
Don't forget about Mad Maggie's movement speed increase while holding a shotgun. Use this to quickly move around the map and to flank enemies.
Be careful not to get too close to enemies without cover or allies to support you. Mad Maggie's abilities are best utilized in close-quarters combat, but she can be vulnerable to long-range attacks.

Use your tactical ability, Arc Tether, to trap and damage enemies who get too close. You can also use it to create a trap by throwing it at a surface like the ground or a door, which will stay active for a few seconds.
Use your ultimate ability, Phase Breach, to quickly move yourself and your teammates to a new location. You can use this ability to flank enemies, escape dangerous situations, or get to high ground quickly.
Be aggressive with Ash, as she is designed to be a close-range fighter. Use her mobility and abilities to get up close and personal with enemies, and take advantage of her sword for quick and deadly strikes.
Coordinate with your team and use Ash's abilities in combination with other legends' abilities to create powerful combos. For example, you can use Arc Tether to trap enemies in place while your teammate uses a grenade or other explosive to deal massive damage.
Always be aware of your surroundings and use Ash's abilities to gain an advantage over your enemies. Use Arc Tether to slow down enemies chasing you or trying to escape, or use Phase Breach to quickly get behind cover or flank enemies.
Finally, practice using Ash's abilities and experiment with different strategies to find the playstyle that works best for you.
