Characters you should consider pairing with Bloodhound in Apex Legends

Being one of the first characters to be released with the game's launch, Bloodhound remains one of the most popular Legends in the game. They are the perfect pick for newer players to slowly understand the concept of the game. With a kit that is easy to understand, and the ability to scan enemy players, Bloodhound in Apex Legends is one of the strongest characters in the game.

Before we dive into the characters that you can pair with them, let us understand their abilities:

• Tracker (Passive Ability): Bloodhound has the power to track clues left behind by enemies. They are highlighted in red and show traces of how long ago they occurred. If there are no enemy players in the region, a White Raven will spawn in front of you. Interacting with it will provide you with a trail pointing toward the enemy team that is closest to you.
• Eye of the Allfather (Tactical Ability): With this ability, they have the power to reveal all footsteps, enemy silhouettes, and traps in a 120-degree cone. It reaches up to 75 meters, providing teams with enough intel on what's in front of them.
• Beast of the Hunt (Ultimate Ability): Bloodhound's senses are enhanced when they pop their ultimate. For 30 seconds, Bloodhound gets a 30% speed boost, and they have black-and-white vision with enemies highlighted in red. Its the perfect tool for engaging into combat and eliminating enemy players one after another. Each elimination that you earn extends the duration of the ability and provides you with an additional scan.

That said, let us look at the five best Legends that can duo with Bloodhound in Apex Legends Season 23:

1) Mad Maggie

Mad Maggie is one of the most aggressive characters in Apex Legends. Her passive ability allows players to run at full speed when equipped with a shotgun on hand. Bloodhound can scan to detect enemies and relay this information to Maggie so she can chase them down. Moreover, her tactical ability can be used to damage opponents through walls and other types of cover.

Mad Maggie can also use her ultimate ability to provide the entire team with a speed boost temporarily. This can be used after Bloodhound's scan detects enemies to initiate a team fight. Although the combo might seem quite basic, it is highly effective in the early rounds as you can collect a few kills with ease to boost your kill points.

2) Fuse

Fuse is another aggressive character from the Assault category in Apex Legends. His tactical ability can be used to poke enemies and deal ticking damage. It is an effective method to deplete the opponent's healing items and drive them out of their hiding spots. Bloodhound's scan can help Fuse land these sticky grenades accurately without wasting the charges.

Fuse's ultimate ability can be used to trap enemies and catch them off-guard. The circle of fire can deal heaps of damage to anyone trying to cross over it and highlights anyone close to the flames. Bloodhound can then activate their ultimate ability to mow down anyone who tries to escape while receiving a massive movement speed buff.

3) Newcastle

Newcastle, in Apex Legends Season 23 Split 2, has been slightly nerfed. However, that doesn't change anything when it comes to his synergy with Bloodhound. Newcastle, despite his latest nerfs, remains the meta support Legend in the current season of Apex Legends, and rightfully so.

The support legend buffs introduced with the ongoing season of Apex Legends make Newcastle a fantastic Legend to pair with the fan-favorite recon character. The former's passive ability allows him to quickly reset downed teammates during gunfights. Furthermore, whenever Bloodhound scans an area, Newcastle can act on this intel and push closed spaces using his Tactical ability.

If things go wrong, the duo can pop their ultimate abilities, Castle Wall, and Beast of the Hunt to absolutely wreak havoc on enemy players.

4) Caustic

Caustic is one of the best controller Legends that you can pair with Bloodhound in Apex Legends Season 23 Split 2. He excels in controlling space, and ensuring that he doesn't give out an inch of it without a proper gunfight.

Caustic's abilities mostly revolve around his Nox Gas, which deals flesh damage to any Legend that inhales it. His tactical ability allows him to place barrels of Nox Gas wherever he wants. These automatically get triggered whenever an enemy walks within its effective range.

When pairing with Bloodhound, the recon Legend can always clear out spaces using his scan ability, and if they detect enemies, Caustic can use his ultimate ability, Nox Gas Grenade, to clear the area out. All in all, we believe that these two characters have some of the best Legend-synergy offered within the game.

5) Valkyrie

Bloodhound in Apex Legends lacks any form of movement abilities in the game. While his ultimate ability, Beast of the Hunt, does provide him a 30% movement speed boost for a temporary duration, it is by no means comparable to actual movement abilities provided to Legends, such as Octane, Wraith, Pathfinder, and so on.

This makes rotation across the map quite a bit of a problem for this Legend. This is where Valkyrie comes in. Her ultimate ability, Skyward Dive, allows players to reposition anywhere across the map that is within the ability's effective range in Apex Legends. This allows playesr to play out of bounds, and when needed, they can simply rotate into the circle as it closes in.
