5 best Legends to counter Loba in Apex Legends

Loba in Apex Legends is a Support legend with a teleportation tactical ability and a loot-gathering ultimate. While her tactical ability can be used to quickly move from one point to another, the teleport range is limited and cannot be used to cross a long distance. Nevertheless, Loba’s ultimate ability can be used to loot a limited number of items from a single point and her passive ability allows players to see high-tier loot around a small radius, making it easier to prepare for gunfights.

Considering Loba's abilities, she can easily kit out her entire team with powerful gear if not countered effectively. This article will highlight the best characters that can counter Loba in Apex Legends.

What are the best characters that can counter Loba in Apex Legends?

Here are some of the best characters that you can use to counter Loba in Apex Legends:

1) Fuse

Fuse is an Assault character in Apex Legends. His tactical ability can be used to poke enemies from a safe distance. It can also destroy building doors and legend abilities like Rampart walls. This ability can be used to destroy Loba’s ultimate and make it difficult for your opponents to gather loot effortlessly. You can also target any enemy trying to loot from Loba’s ultimate to potentially score an easy knockdown.

Fuse’s ultimate ability can be used to trap opponents inside a circle of fire. This strategy will generally force Loba to use her tactical ability and reposition, leaving her squad in a disadvantageous 3v2 situation. You can take advantage of such scenarios to rake in kill points.

2) Mad Maggie

Mad Maggie is another Assault legend with aggressive abilities. Her tactical charge can be used to damage enemies behind solid cover like rocks and walls. In late zones, Loba players tend to place their ultimates in front of doors to block access. You can use Maggie’s tactical to break the door and shoot down Loba’s ultimate.

Mad Maggie’s ultimate is a great initiating tool that can be used to gain a speed boost to catch enemies off-guard. When the ability hits enemies, it deals a small amount of damage and disorients them. You can combine this effect with a full-team rush to pick up quick squad eliminations.

3) Ash

Ash is an Assault character that players can use to trap enemy team members. Her tactical ability can limit the opponent’s ability to move freely by anchoring them to a small area. You can use this ability to trap anyone trying to loot from Loba’s ultimate. Then, if you have a clear line of sight, you can deal a lot of damage and even shoot them down.

Ash’s ultimate creates a one-way portal that can be used to initiate gunfights or retreat from dangerous situations. You can teleport toward Loba’s team if you can score a knockdown after trapping them to wipe the entire squad. However, this is a risky route and mostly works during the early rounds.

4) Rampart

Rampart is a Controller legend who has access to a fast-firing machine gun as her ultimate. This ability can be used to destroy temporary covers and building doors. It packs a heavy punch and can destroy Loba’s ultimate almost instantaneously. We recommend waiting for the opponents to engage with Loba’s ultimate ability first to score a few easy kills.

Rampart’s tactical ability can be used to create damage amplification walls to help you in team fights. The machine gun can also be used to knockdown Loba players with ease before they can teleport away since its activation time is a bit long. It is best to target Loba in such scenarios as she can run away and revive the rest of the team for a full reset.

5) Horizon

Horizon is a Skirmisher character in Apex Legends. Her tactical ability allows players to quickly gain a height advantage. It is useful in initiating team fights with teams occupying high-ground areas like roofs of buildings. You can combine this ability with her ultimate to temporarily trap enemies and score some easy kills.

Horizon’s ultimate can hinder the movement speed of all players caught in a limited radius. This is why it is best to wait for your opponents to start using Loba’s market before deploying the black hole. Once caught in its range, you can spam grenades and shoot down the trapped players to score some easy kills.
