Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale game developed by Respawn Entertainment. Set in the Titanfall universe, the game features fast-paced action and a unique cast of characters with their own special abilities. In Apex Legends, players form teams of three and compete to be the last team standing on a map filled with weapons and gear.

As the game has evolved, new characters, weapons, and maps have been added, keeping the gameplay fresh and exciting. Each new season of Apex Legends brings changes to the game's meta, and players must adapt to stay ahead of the competition. One of the ways fans can stay ahead is by using a tier list to determine which characters are currently the strongest.

Apex Legends Season 17 Tier List 2
  • Bloodhound
  • Wraith
  • Gibraltar

Bloodhound

Bloodhound is a perfect character who can simply do things that other characters can't do. He can see enemies even if they are behind walls or through smoke, and he can move really fast. Bloodhound is a great character for winning.

Wraith

Wraith is a special character that people who are superb at this game love to use. She can create portals, dodge attacks well, and turn invisible. This makes Wraith very hard to beat if someone knows how to use her powers properly.

  • Ash

Octane

Octane is a great choice if you want to play fast. He has a special power that lets him go faster than usual, but that damages him a bit. And he has another power that helps him heal back up slowly, without using any medicine. His super special power is a big pad that makes a player and teammates jump really high and far, and it doesn't take long to be able to use it again. With all these great skills, Octane is a really good choice for any team that wants to win.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie is a powerful character who can fly up high using a jetpack. This helps her get to really good spots, move around a lot, and see where her enemies are. Her other power can hurt and stun enemies. Even though she's not as good as she used to be, Valkyrie is still really useful to any team.

  • Horizon

  • Rampart
  • Loba
  • Wattson
  • Crypto

Horizon

Horizon is a special character that has an ultimate called Black Hole. It makes a big hole that has a really strong gravity pull and sucks in enemies, so they can't move. They also get damaged a bit over time. This is really helpful when there are lots of enemies around.

Bangalore

Bangalore is a character who can make a lot of smoke to hide her and her teammates. This can be really helpful when used in a smart way. Her ultimate power is a big attack that makes lots of big bombs fall from the sky. This can make the enemies move away, and then they are easier to hit. Bangalore can do lots of different things, so she's really useful in many situations. However, players need to be careful not to use their powers in a way that can hurt their teammates.

Apex Legends Season 17 Tier List 5
  • Lifeline
  • Caustic
  • Fuse
  • Revenant
  • Seer

Lifeline

Lifeline is a character who can heal her teammates even when there's still a fight going on. She can also ask for a special box to fall from the sky with her ultimate power. This box provides supplies to heal. But sometimes, she's not the best choice for the team battles.

Caustic

Caustic is a character with a skill that creates a gas that damages the enemies and forces them to move away. He also has some little things he can put on the ground that make gas too, and they can be really helpful to stop the enemies. But the enemies can destroy them now, even after they're used. He's not the best choice when there's a lot of open space because he's big and easy to hit, so the enemies will try to get him first. Right now, most teams don't pick him that often.

D-Tier

Apex Legends Season 17 Tier List 6
  • Mirage

Mirage

Mirage is a really fun character who makes lots of copies of himself and makes himself disappear for a short time. But he doesn't help his teammates too much with his skills. Some superb players can use him really well, but most teams don't like him because he's not that good in the current meta. Fans usually pick him just to have fun.

Apex Legends is available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
