Ash in Apex Legends Season 24 is the most popular pick, dominating the meta team compositions.

Ash in Apex Legends now comes with an extra ability that allows players to dash in any direction. This is a massive movement buff that becomes better with the Level 3 upgrade perk, which can provide two dash charges. Combined with the ability to teleport longer distances with the ultimate, Ash has become a formidable force on the roster.

Five characters you should pair with Ash in Apex Legends Season 24

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:

1. Marked for Death (Passive Ability): Ash's tactical map will show you all the recent deaths in your vicinity, and around the entire map.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Here is a list of legends that you can pick to duo with Ash in Apex Legends:

1) Ballistic

Ballistic is a fantastic pick to pair up with Ash in Apex Legends. He received a hefty rework that brought two tactical charges to his base ability kit. His ultimate ability can now provide a movement speed buff while active alongside a reload speed buff. This combined with Ash's ability to trap enemies with her snare and reposition quickly with the ultimate, makes this duo highly aggressive and fight-oriented.

Ballistic's ultimate speed boost can also be used in different ways including retreating to cover. In case Ash does not have a teleport charge, this is a great strategy to get out of the opponent's line of sight and avoid incoming damage.

This duo can utilize their tactical abilities to disable and disorient enemy teams with ease. Such a strategy is good for aggressive pushes and can score the squad a free kill.

2) Wraith

Wraith has received some new buffs in Season 24 Split 2. Her kit was tweaked in the latest update allowing players to stop the tactical ability midway. This means that you can use her ability to phase out and cancel its effects whenever you want before it ends automatically. The developers also increased the ramp-up speed boost effect by reducing the time it takes for Wraith to reach full speed.

Wraith and Ash are generally two contenders for the same spot in a team composition. While Ash provides more lockdown abilities and mobility, Wraith provides sneaky rotations and a lot more flexibility when it comes to portal movement. Having both on the team means you can find new ways to rotate around the map and potentially launch surprise attacks on unsuspecting enemies.

Wraith's buff also includes the new Skirmisher class perks that allow her to gain a temporary tactical ability charge when scoring knocks or kills. You can take advantage of this and poke enemies for a knockdown and then use the tactical to retreat to safety.

3) Octane

Octane is another Skirmisher legend who is slowly taking the meta spot due to the new class perks. Instead of gaining a tactical charge, Octane gains a temporary charge on his ultimate ability when scoring a knock or securing an elimination. This means that every time Octane gets a kill, your team will have access to a jump pad, which can be used to launch an attack on the rest of the opponents or retreat.

Octane and Ash form an agile and aggressive duo in the game. You can also choose to play them at a slower pace and reserve all the firepower for the final zones. Alternatively, having two of the fastest characters on the squad means you can push almost any squad in sight and engage in a team fight.

Since Ash can teleport within a moment's notice, you can depend on it to cover distance if necessary or rotate around the map. The same is true for Octane's jump pad, but you would be vulnerable to bullets mid-air.

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.
