Valkyrie in Apex Legends was recently moved to the Recon category. Her abilities are pretty straightforward and allow players to use her jetpacks to fly around and evacuate from dangerous situations. Her tactical ability can be used to release a swarm of missiles that can damage and stun enemy teams. Moreover, she can hover in the air and easily take control of high-ground spots.

Valkyrie in Apex Legends can also use the beacons to scan for enemy locations and take advantage of the threat vision feature. This makes the character quite useful as teams can simply concentrate on taking fights and then use Valkyrie's ultimate to leave and find a better spot in the safe zone.

Five characters who are the perfect for duo queuing with Valkyrie in Apex Legends

Valkyrie's abilities make her stand out from other Skirmishers in Apex Legends. She possesses a unique set of powers that simply make her one of the most versatile characters in the game. After being nerfed to the ground for being overpowered, the last balance patch for Season 22 finally uplifted her status in the game.

In Season 23 of Apex Legends, Valkyrie remains a solid Legend pick in the game. With a meta dominated by Support-class characters, it never hurts to have someone like her in a team. Let's explore her abilities:

VTOL Jets (Passive Ability): Valkyrie gets access to jetpacks that allow her to scale heights and traverse distances for a short duration.
Missile Swarm (Tactical Ability): With this ability, Valkyrie can shoot 12 missiles in a 4x3 array, dealing damage in a 1.25-meter radius. Any player that gets hurt with this ability takes 25 damage and gets stunned for a duration of up to two seconds.
Skyward Dive (Ultimate Ability): Valkyrie charges her jetpack to deploy into the air. With this ability, you can climb a maximum of 135 meters into the air and enter into a skydive, similar to using a Jump Tower in the game.

With her abilities understood, let us now explore the five best Legends you can pair with Valkyrie in Apex Legends Season 23:

1) Lifeline

Lifeline recently received a massive rework that changed her ultimate ability and how her tactical healing drone works. Lifeline can now assign the drone to different members as it travels with them and heals them. This is great for Valkyrie as she can fly up while carrying the heal drone with her and take gunfights. Lifeline's ultimate also makes for perfect cover where the entire team can reset quickly and then rejoin the team fight.

Lifeline's ultimate can also serve as a launch pad for Valkyrie to activate her ultimate. Since bullets cannot get through the ultimate shield, the squad can easily take Valkyrie's ultimate, reposition themselves whenever necessary, and occupy the upper hand during final zones. Moreover, Valkyrie can safely deploy her tactical ability from inside Lifeline's ultimate and avoid getting shot in the open.

2) Loba

Loba is a Support legend in EA's battle royale and can be an asset to the team. Her ultimate ability is one of the most powerful abilities that can help the team secure loot easily. Moreover, she has a teleporting tactical ability that can be used to make quick escape in case the team is caught off-guard by enemies. Loba can then craft the banners and get the whole team back into action.

Loba's ultimate ability can be used to provide Valkyrie with high-tier loot like the Level 4 Helmet which reduces ability cooldowns. The same can also be used to get ultimate accelerants to be ready with Valkyrie's ultimate. It is best to have the ability ready before diving into gunfights to ensure an escape route as the last resort.

3) Conduit

Conduit makes for one of the best Legends to duo with Valkyrie in Apex Legends Season 23 Split 2. It might seem unorthodox, and in a way, it is quite an unorthodox choice to pair Conduit with a Skirmisher in the ongoing Split of Apex Legends. However, we of course have reason backing our choice.

Despite being part of a meta dominated largely by Newcastle and Lifeline, we believe that people are underestimating Conduit's power in the game. She still remains one of the best Legends to assist in gunfights and help her teammates whenever their shields get destroyed by enemy players.

Radiant Transfer ensures that her teammates remain healthy, despite being in the heat of the battle. Furthermore, when it comes to Legends like Valkyrie, who are extremely mobile and are constantly repositioning, an auto-healing feature always comes in handy. Short moments of downtime will allow Conduit to keep Valkyrie stocked up with meds, and allow her to dish out damage at enemy players.

4) Catalyst

Since Valkyrie’s playstyle is rather aggressive and fast-paced, pairing her with Controllers such as Catalyst is the best option. As the latter’s playstyle is also quite aggressive, she is the perfect match for Valkyrie in Apex Legends.

Catalyst’s spikes are also quite useful when pushing as they slow the enemies down and deal a little damage. She can block off various choke points with her spikes and force the enemies to destroy them when they try to push in. Additionally, Catalyst can also use it to reveal the enemies’ position as the spikes activate automatically when an adversary is nearby.

Lastly, when caught in a pickle, Catalyst can use her Ferrofluid to reconstruct doors and reinforce them to prevent enemy players from entering their stornghold. This provides a few additional seconds of downtime that will allow both Catalyst and Valkyrie to heal up when injured.

5) Revenant

If you want to pair Valkyrie in Apex Legends with another Skirmisher, Revenant is the one you should choose. Revenant Reborn, i.e., the brand-new Skirmisher that we have in our hand is one of the deadliest characters ever featured in Apex Legends.

He is an absolute murder machine who can do it all. He has extremely high mobility, great defensive perks, and a unique passive ability that allows him to be sneaky, and also scale buildings without needing to use any movement tools.

This makes him one of the best Legends to duo with Valkyrie. The duo can easily scale buildings, and use unorthodox approaches when aggressing into enemy teams. With her VTOL Jets, Valkyrie can make use of entrances on the top of buildings, and with his climbing abilities, Revenant can clamber up right beside her.

This brings forth a unique surprise element to every coordinated attack they plan together and makes it quite hard for the enemy players to defend against.
