Five characters you should pair with Ash in Apex Legends Season 23
Ash is an underrated Assault Class Legend in the Apex Games. She has quite a great kit that features a mix of both traversing abilities, and crowd-control powers. With the implementation of the perk system, Ash's effectiveness in the game has grown tenfold.
Here's a list of her abilities to better understand which characters will pair with her the best:
- Marked for Death (Passive Ability): Ash's tactical map will show you all the recent deaths in your vicinity, and around the entire map. If you have a death box in front of you, you can interact with it to ping the location of the attackers that eliminated the player. If the attackers have also been eliminated, you will be met with a prompt 'no living attackers'.
- Arc Snare (Tactical Ability): Ash can deploy a snare that traps any player caught in it for a short duration. You can enhance its capabilities by equipping either the Greedy Snare or Twin Snares perk in the game.
- Phase Breach (Ultimate Ability): You can create a one-way phase tear that allows you to traverse from one location to another. The maximum range for Phase Breach is 75 meters.
With her abilities out of the way, let's now focus on the five best Legends you can duo with Ash in Apex Legends Season 23:
1) Conduit
Conduit finds place in this list owing to her abnormal synergy with Ash in Apex Legends.
Since Ash mostly wanders around the map, looking for potential eliminations, she might get ambushed by opponent squads. This is where Conduit comes in and starts healing the former’s shield, making sure she survives for a long time. Additionally, Conduit’s ultimate ability can direct the enemies towards Ash, allowing her to secure some easy eliminations.
2) Wraith
Another unit you must pair with Ash is Wraith. Since Wraith is a Skirmisher, her playstyle and aggressiveness harmonize with Ash perfectly. Wraith can easily distract enemies while Ash sneaks up on them, scoring some quick kills.
Unlike Ash, Wraith’s portal can be used multiple times. This allows both of the characters to fall back when in a life-threatening situation. They can then heal up, go back to their original spot, and start fighting again. When Wraith sustains too much damage, she can use her Tactical and safely fall back while Ash can cover her to make sure no one pushes the former.
3) Octane
If high-tempo gameplay is what you're after, Octane serves as the perfect Legend to duo with Ash in Apex Legends Season 23. Octane's abilities allow him to be extremely mobile, and this opens up numerous opportunities for the duo to exploit.
Some crafty teamplay mechanics would include, you, as the Ash player, using your Snare to bind people and calling it out to Octane. The latter can quickly use his Stim to rush them, chuck grenades in their vicinity, and easily shoot them out. This can allow you to easily secure an elimination or two.
Furthermore, if you're dead set on bum-rushing enemies, both Ash and Octane's ultimate abilities allow you to reach from one point to another quickly. Ash can open up a portal to a maximum limit of 75 meters. From here, Octane can use his Jump Pad to provide additional means of mobility to quickly push enemies.

4) Bangalore
If you want to pair another Assault character with Ash in Apex Legends, Bangalore is the one you should be choosing. Her kit is quite versatile and is useful in most scenarios.
Bangalore’s smoke is the perfect ability to disrupt the enemies’ vision while you and the rest of your team can sneak towards them. Moreover, her smokes act as the perfect cover for a few seconds while also stopping the opponents’ advancements.
Bangalore’s Rolling Thunder is another ability you should not sleep on. It can deal a hefty amount of damage while also stunning enemies who dare to step into its effective radius. Keep in mind that Bangalore can stun herself with this ability; therefore, you should be careful when going inside Rolling Thunder.

5) Vantage
Vantage secures the fifth spot in this list. While the others are much better choices for Ash in Apex Legends, Vantage is also not a bad option, especially if you like to keep your distance from your prey.
Vantage’s ultimate can easily knock down enemies who sport the White or Blue shield, making her a solid and impactful character in early rings. The fact that Vantage can access the Ring Consoles that are scattered across the maps increases her value significantly.
