Best characters to duo with Newcastle in Apex Legends

Support Class rework

That said, lets explore the Legends who are best to duo with Newcastle in Apex Legends:

1) Pathfinder

By far Pathfinder is the best character to pair with Newcastle in Apex Legends Season 23. If you like playing this Support Legend, you should definitely recommend your teammate to play Pathfinder. His abilities are relatively simple and easy to master.

Pathfinder’s Grapple can easily launch players in any direction they desire. With the level three EVO perk which resets the Grapple’s cooldown after securing a knockdown, it can be quite beneficial for him to get away from the spot if the situation gets heated.

2) Ballistic

When you are playing Newcastle in Apex Legends, Ballistic is the character you can consider pairing with the former. Since Newcastle is a support unit, Ballistic will be the best choice for the scenario if aggressive play is your choice.

Additionally, Ballistic's Tempest is an excellent ability when pushing toward an enemy squadron. His Whistler is an ideal addition to his arsenal that allows him to overheat the targeted opponent’s weapon, rendering them inactive for a brief period.

3) Catalyst

While it's not mandatory to pair Newcastle in Apex Legends with a Controller, Catalyst is one of the best options for him. The latter can easily take control of any space with the blink of an eye while Newcastle is ready to assist them when needed.

Moreover, if you like playing a little passively and strategically this is the best duo you can get for Newcastle. Apart from Catalyst’s spikes, her ferrofluid wall is quite useful as it can block enemies’ vision and divide a space into two parts. Combined with Newcastle’s wall, this combo can be lethal as the enemies will get stunned instantly and get their vision blocked as they go through the ferrofluid wall.

4) Crypto

Crypto is one of the best Recon characters you can pair with Newcastle in Apex Legends. The former can easily pinpoint the locations of each enemy team by scanning the Survey Beacon.

Additionally, his passive allows him to scan for any nearby enemies whenever he pulls his drone out. This helps players see if enemy squads are in the area. If there are more than two, then it is best to not push, as you may get subjected to third parties and potentially get eliminated.

5) Valkyrie

If you get bored with a Skirmisher while playing as Newcastle in Apex Legends, Valkyrie can keep you entertained for a decent amount of time. While Newcastle cannot move swiftly around the map and climb on top of buildings, Valkyrie can easily fill that gap.

When Valkyrie is on top of a building where Newcastle or any player cannot climb without a movement ability, Newcastle’s ultimate helps him reach there and fortify the area, making sure Valkyrie stays safe.
