5 best Legends to duo with Pathfinder in Apex Legends Season 24

Pathfinder in Apex Legends Season 24 has faced one of the biggest nerfs. The developers have tweaked his base ability kit and made the tactical ability have a constant cooldown timer instead of a variable one. This makes the Skirmisher legend difficult to play as a long grapple cooldown limits his mobility. A few more nerfs were also introduced to his perks which reduced the amount of damage reduction while using an energized zipline.

Pathfinder in Apex Legends remains a strong pick regardless of the recent nerfs due to his ability to make rotations easier for the whole team. His kit can be used to quickly initiate fights or get out of a dangerous situation. Pathfinder's ultimate ability is most useful when the squad needs to get to high ground or contest opponents for map control.

This article will highlight the best characters you can pick to play with Pathfinder in Apex Legends Season 24.

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

Here is a quick overview of all the best characters that you can duo with Pathfinder in Apex Legends:

1) Ash

Ash has become the go-to pick for the Assault class in Season 24. This is because the developers have integrated a new ability for this legend which allows players to dash in any direction. The team has also made some smaller changes to her ability kit to make it more reliable. All the factors combined make Ash one of the most aggressive characters in the game.

Ash's tactical ability is great for trapping opponents in a small area for a limited time. This small window can be used to jump toward the enemy with Pathfinder and score easy knocks. This is a basic strategy that can also help you rake in multiple squad wipes throughout the match.

Pathfinder's ultimate is good for rotations but makes the players vulnerable to incoming damage. This is where Ash's portals are more effective. Teams can reserve Pathfinder's ultimate for a different scenario while rotating with Ash's teleport ability.

2) Horizon

Horizon is a mobility-based character from the Skirmisher class. Her tactical ability is quite useful when trying to take control of high-ground areas like building roofs. It can be used by the entire team so initiating gunfights becomes easier. The squad can use this ability and help Pathfinder reserve his grapple for future situations. This makes chasing down solo players easier as Pathfinder can simply use his tactical ability to catch up to them.

Horizon's ultimate is quite useful in zoning enemies away from the point of interest. Pathfinder can put down his ultimate ability to initiate team fights in the final zones. Horizon can then launch her Black Hole ability to disorient the opponents and force them to retreat. This makes it easier for the team to use the zipline and avoid as much incoming damage as possible.

3) Mad Maggie

When it comes to being aggressive, there are only a few legends that come to mind who excel at this job. This short list is arguably topped by Mad Maggie, who is a staple for any team that wants to push headfirst into the enemy team and absolutely rain hellfire on them.

Ever since the introduction of the Legend Upgrade system in Apex Legends Season 20, Mad Maggie has become one of the strongest Legends to duo with Pathfinder in Apex Legends. Using Fire Ball, and Drillslinger make her one of the most powerful Assault Legends in the game.

Pathfinder has some of the best mobility in the game, and while Maggie might lack vertical movement tech, the former can use his Zipline to help her traverse the terrain. This little pick-me-up, with Mad Maggie's Riot Drill and Wrecking Ball can demolish squads. Furthermore, as Mad Maggie pushes at the ground level, Pathfinder can follow up right behind using his Grappling Hook. This combiatnio of abilities allows the duo to stay in sync and attack enemies in coordination.

4) Crypto

Despite being nerfed in Apex Legends Season 23 Split 1, Crypto still remains quite a powerful, if not, the most powerful recon Legend in the game. No character comes close to providing the amount of utility that this Legend can provide at the flick of a button.

Crypto can easily scan enemies, recon beacons, surveil areas, and even tail enemy squads from a safe distance. While teams get fed a ton of intel, it generally means that they can't really do much with it as he lacks mobility in the game.

This is where Pathfinder comes in. Whenever Crypto and Pathfinder plan on eliminating a team, or fighting someone, the former can track them using his Drone, and then use an EMP charge to disrupt their shields and gadgets. Right before the EMP strikes, Pathfinder can shoot a zipline to the area they are targeting, and the duo can quickly push the enemies who will be dazed and confused by the EMP that they just got struck by.

5) Rampart

Like Caustic, Rampart's kit synergizes quite well with Pathfinder's. She is one of the best Legends to duo with Pathfinder. The latter provides the former with the power to reposition into strategic areas of the map. Rampart with her extremely powerful defensive abilities can set up a fort in these places.

Since Rampart lacks movement abilities, this tiny boost from Pathfinder is more than enough to help the Legend claim and take control of the spaces she desires. Armed with her Amped Walls and Shiela, pushing against this duo would be a definitive death sentence to enemies. We believe that this combination of abilities makes Rampart one of the best Legends to duo with Pathfinder in Apex Legends Season 23.
