5 best Legends to counter Lifeline Revived in Apex Legends Season 23

Since Lifeline received a complete rework in Apex Legends Season 23, it's a given that her pick rate will rise abnormally as players try her new abilities out. As Lifeline will likely be in every team players will fight against, they need a counter for it to successfully eliminate her and potentially secure the victory. Although a team composition in EA’s battle royale features three Legends, only one counter for Lifeline will be effective while two are overkill at times.

Having said that, this article lists five Legends that are the perfect Counter for Lifeline in Apex Legends Season 23.

Best counters for Lifeline Revived in Apex Legends Season 23

1) Gibraltar

If we are talking about Lifeline counters, Gibraltar is the perfect Legend for it. While his abilities are mostly catered towards defending his teammates, his ultimate can be the perfect counter for Lifeline. While Lifeline uses her ultimate to create a safe space for her allies, Gibraltar’s Defensive Bombardment can easily penetrate that space as there is no protection on top.

This means, Gibraltar’s ultimate is exceptionally effective against her and occupies this newly reworked Legend and her teammates while Gibraltar can push in the area and secure a squad wipe.

2) Bangalore

Another Legend that can counter Lifeline Revived is Bangalore. The latter’s smoke works exceptionally well and hinders the former’s vision, making her fall back. In the meantime, Bangalore — along with her team members — can easily position themselves to their advantage and deal some damage to whoever is nearby.

If Lifeline decides to use her ultimate, her vision can easily be blocked by a single Bangalore smoke. Moreover, the latter's Rolling Thunder can easily force Lifeline and her teammates out of the safe pocket, making them vulnerable.

However, if timed correctly, players can easily use the ultimate’s wall and evade the Rolling Thunder damage and stun. Therefore, if you are pushing while Bangalore’s ultimate is exploding, keep an eye out for that.

3) Fuse

While most Legends in this list can single-handedly counter Lifeline, Fuse falls behind a little as he requires some assistance from his teammates. Therefore, he needs to prepare some things, such as gathering throwables before engaging in a fight. Depending on where the Lifeline squad is, Fuse can use his ultimate which will highlight all three members of the former’s team.

Unless Lifeline and her teammates get out of Motherlode’s effective area, they will continuously be highlighted without interruption. This also allows Fuse to spam Knuckle Clusters where the highlighted enemies are to make sure they are not just sitting still and waiting for the ultimate to expire.

4) Horizon

While players may think otherwise, Horizon is one of the counters for Lifeline Revived. Her ability to swiftly traverse the map easily alongside the vertical movement makes her one of the best characters to play against Lifeline. When Lifeline is either pushing or running away, Horizon can easily get on a building using her Gravity Lift and take her down.

Moreover, Horizon can also use her Black Hole when Lifeline activates her ultimate to create a distraction while she pushes inside. If they don’t break the ability, this Skirmisher can throw some grenades which will accumulate a decent bit of damage.

5) Caustic

Since Lifeline’s ultimate is a closed space that is made to keep her allies safe from the chaos happening outside of it, Caustic can make sure the former can’t stay there. His Nox Gas is quite powerful and can easily clear most areas out.

Additionally, it also helps Caustic to control an area so he, alongside his teammates, doesn’t have to keep an eye out in that particular area and focus on the enemies in front of them.

Apart from Caustic’s Tactical, his ultimate is also quite powerful as it covers a decently sized area with it. Those who dare to walk in it will take DoT and if not healed in time, will get eliminated.
