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

Octane has received a massive buff in Season 24 Split 2 as the entire Skirmisher class has access to two new perks — Trailblazer and Charged Knock. The first perk provides teammates with a speed boost when moving toward the team's Skirmisher, making it easier to catch up and take fights. The second provides a temporary charge on Octane's ultimate.

Octane and Mad Maggie are a great duo, as both legends have quite a bit of agility in their kits. Since Maggie is an aggressive character with a damage-dealing tactical ability, having access to Octane's jump pad makes it easy for the whole squad to act on knocks or kills. Moreover, the Assault legend can save up her ultimate for later in case of third parties.

Octane's ability to get a charge back on knockdowns makes it convenient for the team to reposition around the map faster and between gunfights. Alternatively, the jump pad can be used to initiate fights, and Mad Maggie can use her ultimate ability to disorient enemies when engaging.

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) Pathfinder

Pathfinder is another Skirmisher legend who enjoys the latest Skirmisher class perks as well. His entire kit is focused on repositioning and is one of the most difficult characters to master. However, his base kit does not dish out any damage, and his tactical ability is stuck at a 30-second cooldown. Fortunately, you can choose to get the EVO shield Level 3 upgrade and reduce the grapple cooldown by 10 seconds.

Pathfinder and Mad Maggie work well in tandem with each other as one assists the other in fights. This means that the Assault legend can initiate a fight with her tactical or ultimate ability, while Pathfinder can grapple in to score some easy kills. With each knockdown, Pathfinder will regain a temporary charge of his tactical ability, allowing players to retreat if necessary.

The combined mobility of this duo is enough to chase enemies around the map with ease, as both their ultimate abilities can be used to travel long distances. Alternatively, Pathfinder can help Maggie take height advantage and provide unique rotations for the team to get to a safe location.
