5 Legends that synergize with Alter in Apex Legends Season 23

Alter, being a Skirmisher-class Legend offers her team unique mobility tools. She is quite a versatile character and works best in tight-spaced areas, such as the crowded buildings of Fragment, or even Stacks. Before we look into the best character combinations, let us understand her core abilities.

Gift From The Rift (Passive ability): With this ability, Alter has the power to loot a single item from death boxes that are within a 75-meter radius of her. Keep in mind that the Shield Cores cannot be looted with this ability.
Void Passage (Tactical ability): Alter can create a portal for 15 seconds through any surface that's not more than 20 meters thick. It's a great way to travel between different rooms in a building, or any structure.
Void Nexus (Ultimate ability): Alter throws down a device that allows her and her allies to phase back to the point by remotely interacting with it. The Void Nexus has a range of 200 meters and lasts for a total of 120 seconds if she doesn't have the “Unending Nexus” EVO perk. Having this perk removes the Void Nexus timer and makes it so that it doesn't run out until another one is placed or Alter uses it.

With the abilities discussed, here's a detailed list of the five best Legends that you can duo with Alter in Apex Legends Season 23:

1) Crypto

Crypto is a Recon character in Apex Legends who can use a drone to get positional information about enemy teams in the vicinity. The drone can also be used to scan beacons and gather a larger amount of data for the entire team. His ultimate ability can be used through the drone and goes through hard surfaces like walls and ceilings.

Crypto can launch his ultimate ability and make it easier for the team to start a fight as Alter can simply create an entry portal through any wall. This strategy is most effective when dealing with teams that are camping inside buildings or houses on the map. Alter can also place her ultimate down in a safe area so that the team can retreat immediately if the gunfights goes sideways.

2) Wattson

Wattson is a great anchor character and belongs to the Controller category in Apex Legends. Her abilities are perfect for holding and maintaining control of different map locations like buildings. Her electric fences are perfect for protecting Alter's ultimate ability which can be shot down or destroyed. Moreover, Wattson's ultimate can destroy any incoming explosives, making it easier to hold areas.

Wattson can hold the fort and protect the area where Alter leaves her ultimate as the rest of the team goes on to fight. This makes it possible for knocked allies to return to safety and receive an almost instant revival. In case the enemy team decides to follow back through the portal, Wattson's fences can zap them and make them easy targets to take down and score elimination points.

3) Newcastle

Newcastle, in Apex Legends Season 23 Split 2 remains a meta-tier Legend in the game. His abilities, despite the latest nerfs, have not stopped him from claiming the #1 spot on the meta-list in the ongoing Split of Apex Legends Season 23.

Newcastle's abilities allow him to ensure that his team never gets knocked down during gunfights. His passive ability, Retrieve the Wounded, allows him to Drag downed allies as you revive and protect them with his revive shield, which basically refers to the Knockdown Shield in his inventory.

With a Gold-rarity Knockdown Shield equipped, Newcastle can always ensure that his teammates get quickly reset whenever they get knocked down. Furthermore, with his mobile shield, the Legend can provide temporary cover to all his teammates when they need it.

Lastly, his ultimate ability, the Castle Wall, allows him to erect an electrified wall that can intercept grenades and block enemies from pushing into him. It's one of the best abilities when it comes to claiming space and preventing enemies from pushing into personal territory.
