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.

Coordinate with Your Team: Bloodhound's abilities make them a valuable asset to any team, but it's important to communicate and coordinate with your teammates to take down enemies effectively. Use your mic or ping system to communicate and let your team know when you're using your abilities or pushing enemies.

Choose Your Loadout Carefully: Bloodhound's abilities make them effective at close to mid-range combat, so choose a loadout that complements this playstyle. Shotguns, SMGs, and assault rifles are all good options for Bloodhound.

Prioritize High Ground: Even in non-competitive play, high ground is important. Use Bloodhound's abilities to track enemies and gain an advantage, but make sure you're in a good position before engaging.

Use Gas to Distract Enemies: Caustic's gas can also be used to distract enemies. Throw a Nox Gas Grenade in one direction to make enemies think you're coming from that direction, and then flank them from another direction.

Use Gas Vision to Spot Enemies: Caustic's passive ability, Gas Vision, allows him to see through his own gas. Use it to spot enemies hiding in the gas or to locate enemy traps.

Don't Use Gas Around Teammates: Be careful when using Caustic's gas around your teammates. It can affect them and make it harder for them to see or move around. Communicate with your team and let them know when you're using gas or traps.

Choose Your Loadout Wisely: Caustic's gas is most effective at close to mid-range combat, so choose a loadout that complements this playstyle. Shotguns, SMGs, and assault rifles are all good options for Caustic.

Mirage

Regular BR

Use Your Decoys to Confuse Enemies: Mirage's decoys can be used to confuse enemies and make them think you're in a different location. Use them to create diversions or throw them into areas where you think enemies may be hiding to get an idea of where they are.

Don't Overuse Your Ultimate: Mirage's ultimate, Vanishing Act, can make him invisible for a short period of time, but it's important not to rely on it too much. Save it for situations where you need to make a quick escape or to flank enemies.

Use Your Passive to Your Advantage: Mirage's passive, Now You See Me, allows him to cloak for a short period of time when he's knocked down. Use this to your advantage by crawling to safety while cloaked or to fake out enemies by making them think you've been eliminated.

Be Mindful of Your Footsteps: Mirage's footsteps are louder than most other legends, so be mindful of your movement when you're trying to sneak up on enemies or avoid being detected.

Communicate with Your Team: Mirage's abilities can be especially effective when used in conjunction with your team. Communicate with your teammates and coordinate your attacks to make the most of your abilities.

Use Your Ultimate to Escape Dangerous Situations: If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, use your ultimate to quickly escape. You can also use it to revive teammates without being detected by enemies.

Make Use of Wattson's Passive Ability: Wattson's passive ability, Spark of Genius, allows her to fully charge her ultimate ability by using one ultimate accelerant. Use this to your advantage by keeping an ultimate accelerant in your inventory so that you can quickly charge your ultimate ability when you need it.

Don't Stay in One Place for Too Long: While it's important to control areas with your electric fences and ultimate ability, it's also important to keep moving around the map to avoid being caught off guard. Don't stay in one place for too long, and try to move to new areas once you feel you've secured your current location.

Crypto

Regular BR

Use Your Drone for Scouting: Crypto's tactical ability, Surveillance Drone, can be used to scout out areas for potential loot or enemy positions. Fly it around buildings and cover to avoid getting caught out in the open.

Keep Your Distance: Crypto is not a front-line fighter, so it's important to keep your distance and provide support to your team from a safe location. Stay behind cover and use your drone to gather intel on enemy positions.

Be Strategic with Your EMP: Crypto's ultimate ability, EMP, can deal significant damage to enemy shields and slow them down. However, it also reveals your position to enemies. Use it strategically to disrupt enemy formations or to clear out a building before entering.

Carry a Secondary Weapon: While your drone is useful for scouting, you'll need a weapon for close-range combat. Carry a shotgun or SMG as your secondary weapon to be prepared for sudden close-range encounters.

Coordinate with Your Squad: Crypto's abilities are most effective when used in coordination with other legends. Coordinate with your squad to use your drone to gather intel and provide support, and to use your EMP to disrupt enemy formations or to clear out a building before entering.

Don't Leave Your Drone Unattended: Your Surveillance Drone is vulnerable to enemy fire, so don't leave it unattended for too long. Keep it close to you and avoid flying it over enemy positions.

Use Amped Cover to protect your team: Rampart's tactical ability, Amped Cover, creates a wall that provides cover and increases the damage of shots fired through it.

Make use of Fuse's Tactical Ability - Knuckle Cluster: This ability launches a cluster bomb that deals area-of-effect damage to enemies. Use it to flush enemies out of cover or to damage them while they are healing.

Use Fuse's Ultimate Ability - The Motherlode: This ability launches a barrage of missiles that creates a ring of fire around the targeted area, dealing damage to enemies caught inside. Use it to block off chokepoints or to push enemies out of hiding spots.

Take advantage of Fuse's passive - Grenadier: Fuse can stack an additional grenade to his inventory of any type (Frag, Arc Star, etc). Use this to your advantage when engaging in fights or defending an area.

Prioritize finding grenades and heavy ammo: Since Fuse is a Grenadier, it's important to have as many grenades as possible. Additionally, his tactical ability uses up a lot of ammo, so make sure to stock up on heavy ammo.

Stick with your team: Fuse's abilities are best utilized when he is working with his team. Use his abilities to cover your team's movements or to flush enemies out of hiding spots for your team to finish off.

Use Fuse's Ultimate as a zoning tool: The Motherlode ability can be used to create a temporary wall of fire, which can block off enemies and force them to move into a position where your team can engage them more easily.

Be aware of your surroundings: Since Fuse's abilities can deal a lot of damage to both enemies and allies, make sure to use them carefully and be aware of your surroundings when deploying them.

Valkyrie

Regular BR

Take Advantage of Valkyrie's Passive: Valkyrie's passive ability allows her to see nearby enemy squads when she's in the air. This is especially useful when you're trying to find the best landing spot, or when you're trying to avoid enemy squads. Keep an eye out for the icon on your HUD that shows nearby enemies.

Use Valkyrie's Tactical for Quick Escapes: Valkyrie's tactical ability, the "Missile Swarm," sends a barrage of mini-rockets to an area, which can damage enemies and create a smoke screen. This ability can be used defensively to create a quick escape or offensively to disrupt enemies. Just be aware that the ability has a long cooldown, so use it strategically.

Utilize Valkyrie's Ultimate for High Ground: Valkyrie's ultimate ability, "Skyward Dive," allows her to launch into the air and redeploy her squad's gliders. This is great for reaching high ground quickly or for getting away from a dangerous situation. Be sure to communicate with your squad before using the ultimate, as they'll need to activate their own gliders to join you.

Stay Aware of Your Surroundings: As with any legend, it's important to stay aware of your surroundings when playing as Valkyrie. Her abilities make her a very mobile legend, but they also make her vulnerable when she's on the ground. Keep an eye out for enemies, and use your abilities to quickly get out of danger.

Use Valkyrie's Flight Carefully: While Valkyrie's ability to fly is certainly useful, it can also make her an easy target for enemy squads. Be sure to use her flight ability strategically, and don't stay in the air for too long. You can use her flight to quickly reposition, but be sure to land quickly and rejoin your squad.

Coordinate with Your Squad: As with any legend, coordination with your squad is key when playing as Valkyrie. Be sure to communicate with your squad, especially when you're using her ultimate ability. You'll need to coordinate with your squad to make sure everyone is using their gliders at the right time, and that you're all moving in the same direction.

Vantage

Use this ability to quickly take down enemies with well-placed shots. Remember to communicate with your team and coordinate your attacks when using Sniper's Mark.

Choose your loadout wisely: As a sniper legend, it's important to choose your loadout wisely. Opt for long-range weapons such as sniper rifles and marksman rifles, as well as attachments that increase accuracy and stability. Use your Spotter's Lens ability to determine the range and bullet drop of your shots and adjust your aim accordingly.

Play with your team: Although Vantage is a strong solo player, her abilities are best utilized when playing with a coordinated team. Use your Echo Location ability to quickly move around the map with your team and communicate with them when using Sniper's Mark. Work with your team to cover each other's weaknesses and take advantage of each other's strengths.

Position yourself carefully: As a sniper legend, it's important to position yourself carefully during fights. Stay at a distance and use cover to your advantage. Look for high ground and use it to gain a better vantage point over your enemies. Remember that your abilities are best utilized from a distance, so try to avoid close-quarters combat as much as possible.

Catalyst

Regular BR

Utilize your Passive ability: Catalyst's Passive ability is called Barricade. This ability allows you to reinforce doors, making them stronger and locking them to enemies. When a door has been destroyed, you can also reinforce it, preventing enemies from entering through that area. Use this ability to your advantage by barricading doors when you're looting or healing, or when you need to defend a position. It can also be useful in blocking off enemy escape routes.

Master your Tactical ability: Catalyst's Tactical ability is called Piercing Spikes. This ability throws out a patch of Ferrofluid, which turns into spikes when enemies are near. The Catalyst remains immune to enemy spikes. Use this ability to control an area or to slow down an enemy team's movement. The spikes can be used to damage enemies and to give your team an advantage in a fight. Be sure to aim your spikes at chokepoints or where enemies are likely to approach.

Use your Ultimate wisely: Catalyst's Ultimate ability is called Dark Veil. This ability raises a permeable wall of Ferrofluid. Enemies who walk through it will be slowed and partially blinded for a brief time. This ability is great for blocking off enemy movement, or to create cover for your team to heal or revive. It can also be used to split up enemy teams during a fight, making them easier to pick off one by one.

Communicate with your team: Like with any Legend in Apex Legends, communication is key. Let your team know when you've barricaded a door or when you're using your Tactical or Ultimate abilities. 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. Use her abilities to control the environment around you, and use your movement to outmaneuver your opponents. Practice sliding, jumping, and climbing to gain an advantage in fights and to escape dangerous situations.

Seer

Regular BR

Use Focus of Attention (Passive ability) to scan areas before entering them, so you can be prepared for any potential threats.

Use Heart Seeker (Tactical ability) to locate enemies who are hiding or healing after a fight, and ambush them before they are ready.

Use Exhibit (Ultimate ability) to provide cover for your team while you heal or revive teammates, or to force enemies out of cover and make them easier to take out.

Seer's abilities are most effective when used in combination with your team's abilities and tactics.

Be aware of your surroundings: Use your abilities to gain an advantage over your enemies.

Mad Maggie

Regular BR

Take advantage of Mad Maggie's passive: Warlord's Ire. This ability allows enemies you damage to be temporarily highlighted, giving you and your team a clear advantage. Additionally, while holding a shotgun, you will move faster. Try to engage in close-quarters combat to take advantage of this passive.

Use Riot Drill tactically. This ability can burn through structures and shields, making it great for creating an opening to flank an enemy or for breaching through cover. You can also use it to create a path for your team to follow, or to force enemies to move from their fortified positions.

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.

Finally, communicate with your team. Let them know when you're using your abilities and coordinate attacks. Mad Maggie's abilities can be powerful, but they work best when used strategically and in conjunction with your team's efforts.

Ash

Use your passive ability, Marked for Death, to your advantage. Whenever an enemy dies, you'll be able to see the location of their deathbox on the map, allowing you to anticipate where enemies may be heading next. You can also use your dataknife to find the exact location of the attackers.

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.

Newcastle

Regular BR

Use your Tactical ability, Mobile Shield, to create cover for yourself and your team. The drone can be moved around and can help you take control of an area.

Try to use your Passive ability, Retrieve The Wounded, to drag downed allies behind cover as you revive them. This will help keep them safe while they're getting back on their feet.

When using your Ultimate ability, Castle Wall, aim for a location where your team can take up positions and defend. The stronghold can be used for cover and can make it difficult for enemies to get close.

Consider using shotguns or SMGs with Newcastle, as these weapons can be particularly effective when playing in close quarters.

When playing with a team, communicate with them regularly to coordinate your movements and plan your attacks. Newcastle can be particularly effective when used in conjunction with other legends' abilities.

    I know I haven't been in a game of Fragment mode for like 2 seasons... but are you sure about this?

    You wrote this about Vantage " Choose your loadout wisely: As a sniper legend, it's important to choose your loadout wisely. Opt for long-range weapons such as sniper rifles and marksman rifles, as well as attachments that increase accuracy and stability. Use your Spotter's Lens ability to determine the range and bullet drop of your shots and adjust your aim accordingly."

    I actually think in both Pubs and Ranked Vantage is best served by having Two CQC weapons like a R-99 and Alternator or one CQC SMG paired with an assault rifle like the Flatty, r-301 or Nemisis. Reason behind that is she already has a sniper (via Ult) for long range and can use that for initial dmg and then push the fight with the CQC weapons.  Sniper rifles with her are ok but kinda redundant. 

    I play her very aggressive with CQC weapons and it works great after getting in initial dmg/cracked shields or a knock to push off of from her Ult sniper.

    @Asmodeus566Well with Vantage she would always in my opinion want to run a marksman or sniper even though her ultimate is a sniper. The reason behind that is because her passive will outline people using those weapons. So there is no swapping to just get eyes on someone. The ultimate fire time also cant be compared to a g7 or 30-30 it shoots much slower compared to those. Her Ultimate also gives away her and the team's position due to the laser it shoots out. Using a marksman or sniper gives her those same abilities as the passive outlining people without giving it all away.

    @E9ine_AC I haven't played a whole lot of Vantage, but when I do, I love running a Scout with some sort of full-auto AR/SMG (301, R99, Flatline). I use the 2x bruiser on the Scout, with her passive, to scope out the situation and put shots down range. Plus I have the ult for ranged engagements. I have to keep something full-auto as well, for the surprise or close-range encounters. When I run that loadout, it always feels like a very well balanced kit, for me.
