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

Here is a brief list of all the characters players should pick to play with Mad Maggie in Apex Legends:

1) Fuse

Fuse is another Assault legend in the game with an explosive ability kit. He can use his Tactical ability to break down doors and tag enemies to inflict damage for a short duration. This can be used with Maggie’s Tactical to poke enemies and drive them out of corners while dealing significant damage, making them easy targets.

Fuse and Mad Maggie can form the perfect aggressive pair as both their abilities revolve around inflicting damage from a considerable distance. This makes it difficult for the opponents to take a fight with full health and armor since both legends have tactical abilities that can damage behind most covers. Moreover, Mad Maggie has the passive to run faster with a Shotgun equipped to close distance between teams quickly.

Fuse's ultimate can be combined with Maggie's as one can zone and trap enemies while the other stuns and disorients them. It is an effective way to clean up teams trying to rotate and enter the circle. This also works during end zones as it engulfs the entire battlefield in complete chaos where Fuse and Maggie can thrive.

2) Ash

Ash is one of the highest-picked legends in Season 24. This is primarily due to the latest rework which added an omnidirectional dash ability to the character alongside a list of class-specific buffs for Assault. Her snare ability was tweaked to make it more reliable alongside providing a longer ultimate ability range.

This is a great ability to have as it allows squads to quickly initiate team fights or retreat from dangerous situations. Moreover, Mad Maggie can use her ultimate to add more destructive power to the aggressive rush.

Ash can combine her trap ability to hold enemies down and let Maggie use her tactical to score some free damage. This can be followed up by the team to rake in some free eliminations in the game.

3) Octane

If you're looking for high-tempo gameplay and a strategy that can be spelled out as 'all-out attack', we believe that Octane is the right choice for that. Octane is undoubtedly one of the best Legends to duo with Mad Maggie, on account of how aggressive he can be right alongside her.

His tactical ability, Stim, provides him a movement speed boost for an HP penalty. This, when used right, will allow Octane to quickly get into advantageous positions, reach areas where Maggie is fighting, or scale vantage points in the game.

Irrespective of whether your goal is to pub stomp, or dominate the battlegrounds of Apex Legends ranked, we believe that this duo has the lot of potential in the right hands.

Mad Maggie can use her Riot Drill to push enemies out of cover and safety. While it might be hard for her to both focus fire in such a scenario, and push them out of such cover, Octane can fill this space by quickly pressurizing them from a different angle. All of these can be easily achieved by the legend just stimming for a second.

Lastly, Maggie and Octane can use their ultimates in combination to w-key enemy teams and easily eliminate them. The former's ultimate will daze them as it explodes, and with the Jump Pad, the duo can get into a strategic position to shred them to pieces.

4) Ballistic

Ballistic is another character from the Assault class who received a sizeable buff in Season 24. His tactical ability now features two charges in the base kit, which can also be doubled to a maximum of four charges with the upgrade perks. This is an effective tool that can prevent enemies from shooting their guns continuously during fights.

Mad Maggie can benefit from Ballistic's ultimate ability primarily due to the speed buff. Since Maggie is already fast with Shotguns, she can shred opponent teams while increasing her running speed even more. This can be used to save Mad Maggie's ultimate and use it after to deal more damage or start up another fight.

5) Lifeline

Lifeline is one of the most useful Support characters in the game. Her abilities received some new reworks which now allow the tactical drone to be used remotely and can heal allies while following them around. This is a great way to provide healing for Mad Maggie while engaging in a team fight. It allows players to simply recharge their shields and head back into the gunfight.

Lifeline's ultimate deploys an impenetrable barrier around a small area, making it the perfect temporary cover to reset during fights. Mad Maggie can use her tactical ability on the barrier to keep out enemies and deter them from rushing in.

On the off chance that enemies do penetrate this wall, Mad Maggie can use her Wrecking Ball, paired with the Fireball Legend upgrade to absolutely wreak havoc in this tiny sphere. The ball will constantly bounce between the walls, stunning and dazing any enemy that comes in contact with it. It will eventually burst, and deal incendiary damage, all of which will lead to the untimely demise of a very ambitious enemy team.
