Which are the best characters to counter Valkyrie in Apex Legends?

Here is a list of the most effective characters in Apex Legends that you can pick to counter Valkyrie:

1) Wattson

Wattson is a Controller character in Apex Legends. Her tactical ability can be used to defend the team’s position on the map and create a perimeter with electric fences.

This prevents enemies from rushing to your location as the fences can damage and disorient anyone who crosses them. This defensive setup can be used in buildings and most open areas to prevent other teams from initiating quick team fights.

Wattson’s ultimate can be used to destroy incoming projectiles and explosives like Valkyrie’s tactical missiles. You can easily take cover from the missile swarm and use the Pylon to counter them. This makes it difficult for the enemy team to force you into giving up map control.

2) Mad Maggie

Mad Maggie is an aggressive Assault legend who has a tactical ability that can damage enemies behind solid cover. Most Valkyrie players will try to use their ultimate from behind cover when their team needs to relocate or retreat after a gunfight. You can use Maggie’s tactical to deal damage to Valkyrie and disable her ultimate ability.

Mad Maggie’s ultimate ability can be used right after this to initiate a team fight while enjoying a temporary speed boost. The ultimate also stuns enemies in its path, making them easy targets. You can use this strategy in the early game to catch opponents off-guard and rake in a few kills.

3) Ash

Ash is another Assault character in Apex Legends. Her tactical ability can be used to trap enemies and anchor them to the map, limiting their movement. While this can be used to disrupt Valkyrie’s ultimate ability, you will need to have a clear line of sight on your opponents. You can then spam grenades toward the enemy team to inflict damage.

Ash’s ultimate ability is a great tool that can be used to open a one-way portal. This can be used to chase enemy teams or retreat to safety amid gunfights. This is one of the easier ways to initiate gunfights as the portal allows you to travel from one point to another almost instantly.

4) Fuse

Fuse belongs to the Assault class in EA’s battle royale. His role is similar to Mad Maggie's as his tactical ability can be used to deal ticking damage to enemies. It can be used to catch enemies by surprise and make it difficult for Valkyrie to activate her ultimate ability. You can also stick Fuse’s tactical on enemies, making it easier to farm damage and waste the opponent’s healing items.

Fuse’s ultimate ability can be used to isolate teams or some of their members in a team fight. This can force Valkyrie to use her ultimate, and using her jets to levitate and cross over the circle of fire makes her an easy target to shoot down. If she uses the ultimate to escape, you can take advantage of the situation and kickstart a 3v2 fight with the opponents.

5) Vantage

Vantage is a Recon character who specializes in using sniper rifles. Her ultimate ability makes her adept at sniping from a distance and tagging enemies. A second hit on these opponents can inflict massive damage and help you secure a few kills from a safe distance. This can help snipe Valkyrie from a distance without risking your team’s involvement.

Vantage has a passive ability that shows the bullet drop on every weapon whenever a player uses a scope. With this passive ability, you can even attempt to snipe Valkyrie while she is in the skydiving animation.
