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) Horizon
Horizon is a movement-based Skirmisher legend in the battle royale. Her Tactical ability can be used to provide a vertical lift to Mad Maggie to deploy the Riot Drill through building roofs and damage opponents. The same can also be done to take high-ground positions on the map and spam grenades to score kills.
Mad Maggie can take advantage of Horizon's tactical abilities to scale up buildings and gain height. This can also be used to launch the ultimate from a height after gaining clear sight of the enemy team's location. This is a great way to ensure that the Wrecking Ball hits as many opponents as possible to rake in easy kills. The team can then follow up and chase down the remaining disoriented enemies.
Horizon's ultimate ability does not do any damage directly and can only be used to temporarily trap enemies in a limited range. However, once trapped, they can be easily sprayed down for quick elimination. This can be used with Maggie's ultimate to catch opponents off guard and score squad wipes. Mad Maggie's tactical can then be used to deal more damage on others trying to hide behind cover and reset for the team fight.
3) Octane
Octane is one of the most agile Skirmishers in Apex Legends. His ability kit revolves around being fast and being able to travel long distances. The ultimate ability deploys a jump pad that can be used to initiate gunfights or even retreat from dangerous situations. Mad Maggie can use this jump to cross over natural cover like rocks and walls to engage with the enemy team.

Octane's tactical ability is also quite useful if you need to keep up with Mad Maggie while holding a weapon. Maggie's passive allows her to keep a shotgun on hand and still run at full speed. Octane can utilize his speed boost to quickly join the gunfights that Maggie starts and provide the necessary assistance while waiting for backup.
4) Pathfinder
Pathfinder is another movement-based Skirmisher who can quickly zip from one location to another. His tactical ability can be used to jump on opponents and catch them off-guard. This can be done while Mad Maggie uses her tactical ability to damage enemies behind places like walls and doors. Pathfinder can score some easy kills by going behind their backs and launching a pincer attack.
Pathfinder can also deploy a long zipline that can be used to quickly reposition from one part of the map to another. This tool can be used to push enemies that occupy high ground after Maggie launches her tactical to drive them off the corners. Moreover, Maggie's ultimate can be used to disorient enemies to make them easy targets.
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. Moreover, her ultimate can bounce inside so it can be used to trap opponents in case they decide to take the aggressive route.
