What are the best legends to duo with Gibraltar in Apex Legends?

Here is a list of the most effective characters to play with Gibraltar in Apex Legends:

1) Horizon

Horizon is one of the strongest duos to combo with Gibraltar as both ultimates can be combined to decimate enemy squads. Horizon’s Black Hole can trap enemies in an area while Gibraltar’s ultimate can deal damage to make them easy targets. Moreover, the aerial bombardments stun the enemies, hindering their visibility and movement speed.

Horizon is one of the few Skirmisher legends in the game that can throw down a tactical ability that can be used by teammates and opponents alike. This can be used to gain vertical advantage quickly even in the most lethal situations. The Gravity Lift enables players to move up in the air and even reset shields to rejoin the gunfight.

Moreover, Horizon's ability can be used inside Gibraltar's dome as it does not block the entry or exit of characters. This can be used as a combo to take certain high grounds while avoiding incoming damage during the initial parts of the tactical ability.


2) Fuze

Fuse is an Assault class legend that can perform a similar combo with Gibraltar’s ultimate. Players can deploy a large ring of fire to corner enemies before calling in the Support legend’s ultimate to score easy knocks. Fuse can then spam Knuckle Clusters and grenades to quickly wipe enemy teams caught in the abilities.

Fuse has one of the best zoning abilities in the game that can be used to drive enemies out of corners and hiding places on the map. The ability kit also allows players to restrict the movement of most characters as it can deal damage, reduce running speed, and show their location with hit markers. This can become a recipe for free wins and provide easy kills throughout the game.

Fuse and Gibraltar's ultimate is one of the most deadly combos in the game as both abilities are capable of knocking down enemies on their own while dealing tremendous damage as well. This can be a powerful end zone combo and may also be used to keep any rotating teams out of the safe zone by blocking choke points.


3) Mad Maggie

Mad Maggie is similar to Fuse as she can use her abilities to poke enemy teams. However, her tactical ability is most useful when taking cover inside Gibraltar's tactical dome ability as it can be used to damage enemies that are outside and trying to enter. It is an effective measure that can provide your team with a bit more time to heal and reset inside safe cover.

Mad Maggie's ultimate ability can hit enemies and stun them for a short duration. This also hinders their ability to move and blurs their vision which can be used to attack quickly. Moreover, this ultimate is great for initiating fights as it provides a speed boost to the entire team. Stunned enemies can then be cornered with Gibraltar's ultimate to score quick squad wipes.


4) Catalyst

Catalyst is a Controller character in Apex Legends. Her abilities revolve around ensuring that the team can maintain control over some parts of the map. While inside Gibraltar's dome shield, Catalyst can use the spike traps to deter opponent teams from rushing in. This is a method that can be used to temporarily secure an area and make sure that the team has time to heal.

Catalyst's ultimate ability forms a wall that can block line of sight for enemies on the map. This is a great tool that can be used while reposition or isolating team fights. This can be combined with Gibraltar's ultimate to ensure that enemy teams cannot cross the wall without taking heavy damage. Moreover, it provides cover that can be used to revive or reset during the final zones.


5) Valkyrie

Valkyrie is a Recon legend in the game and features detection abilities. Her tactical ability can be used to damage and stun enemies in a limited area. This is great for poking opponents hiding behind makeshift cover like walls and rocks. But the most effective combo for this duo is her ability to activate her ultimate from inside Gibraltar's tactical dome shield.

Valyrie's ultimate deactivates when taking damage. This is why it is crucial to do so from safe areas. However, Gibraltar's dome is impenetrable for bullets and grenades, making it a great escape route for team when repositioning becomes necessary. Gibraltar can throw down his own ultimate after activating the dome to ensure that enemies do not rush in to shoot down Valkyrie's ultimate.
