Valkyrie is a brand new Apex Legends character with a deep history that ties into Titanfall 2 . Even her abilities are inspired by the Northstar Titan , and for good reason. In this guide we’re going to break down everything you need to know about Valkyrie in Apex Legends, including her backstory, her abilities, and the strategies you need to play as her in Apex Legends Season 9: Leg

There’s a lot to learn about the Arenas game mode, and this guide focuses on the maps. There are five maps in total, three of which will be familiar to you, and two which are entirely new. Once you learn these maps inside and out, you’ll be able to more easily gain the upper hand in the Arenas game m

Compared to the likes of Ash, Valkyrie, and Horizon who often use their vertical options for solo mid-air incursions, Octane’s Launch Pad allows him to summon a jump pad that catapults anyone into the air with the option to double jump. While players can’t double jump while using items, the mid-air time Launch Pad offers gives players great air control that can benefit them in aerial combat to surprise other Lege


You won’t be picking weapons up off the ground, instead, you’ll be using a limited crafting metal currency to buy weapons and equipment. This does give you the option to be flexible with weapons for each round, but you won’t be swapping weapons mid-round unless you’re abusing a death


Pair with other grenades: Despite the damage Rolling Thunder offers, it’s not extremely effective due to its lag time. The six-second activation gives enemies room to hide. In turn, it’s ideal for players to throw in some explosives to finish off enemies hiding behind co


There’s also the broken down runner, and all that remains is a basic frame. You can use this as a large battleground, where mid to long-range weapons excel - with plenty of cover in case a close-range fight breaks out sudde

However, it’s during their voyage in yet another Hestia ship, the IMS Hestia 2, that the siblings were unfortunately split apart. With no idea about the fate of her sibling, Anita entered the Apex Games and used her military training to dominate the competition. And when she finally reunited with her brother, who also entered the Games as the Legend Newcastle, Bangalore had to come to terms with her dream of earning enough in the Games to get back home or to accompany her brother in his new l


Crypto and Valkyrie are also great choices, of course. Valkyrie can buy her Skyward Dive ultimate and reposition the whole team at the start of the game, while also painting enemies on the HUD . Crypto, meanwhile, has his drone , which is the best tool in the game for marking enemy positions, and can help you formulate plans dynamica


Thanks to the sheer level of control the Defensive Bombardment Offers, this airstrike ties with Rolling Thunder among the best damaging Ultimates. After all, players can precisely choose its destination and it triggers as soon as Gibraltar releases the grenade. Its only caveat is its scattered target zones, as its wide AOE won't guarantee h


I’ve mentioned multiple times how important a smart team composition is, and a Recon character like Bloodhound is amazing. Being able to paint your targets on your map or HUD quickly and easily makes it easy to find enemies that are straggling alone, and can be neatly picked

Closing rings are still present in Arenas, and if you don’t immediately get into a gunfight, the ring will decide the victor. If you can control where the ring will close well in advance, you’ll have an advantage over


Speed is key with Double Time: When Bangalore is hit or almost hit, she triggers Double Time, essentially allowing her to sprint much faster. With speed being an integral component in the game, Double Time gives Bangalore the necessary room to recuperate and prepare for a counter-attack. When attacked, make sure that Double Time is triggered and players head to the closest cover. Triggering Double Time a second time allows them to either head straight to the enemy or straight for the e


Similar to a military personnel who can adjust to any combat situation, Bangalore’s Double Time (Passive) gives her a speed boost whenever she’s hit.
