Wattson in Apex Legends Season 23 remains a stellar pick when you're looking for a powerful Controller-class Legend in the game. Despite being part of a meta dominated by Support Legends, she shines in dominating the spaces she controls, and can easily prevent enemy onslaught when her fences are placed right.
The latest seasonal update has been quite unkind to other Legend classes, as Support Legends got buffed through the roof. Despite that, we believe that having a Controller Legend in your team is ever beneficial, and in our opinion, Wattson makes a fine pick for most teams.
That said, this article will explore the5 best legends to duo with Wattson in Apex Legends Season 23. Read below to know more.

What are the best legends to duo with Wattson in Apex Legends?
Here is a list of all the characters that players can use with Wattson on the team in Apex Legends:
1) Catalyst
Catalyst is another Controller legend who can be used alongside Wattson. The Passive ability of this character can be used to fortify doors in buildings. Since Wattson’s fences can be destroyed with bullets and grenades, a fortified door can help the team keep control of a location for a longer time.

Catalyst has a very strong ultimate ability that can be used to potentially divide the entire battlefield into two parts with smaller zones. This enables the team to take direct fights without having to worry about getting shot from the sides or other teams pushing in recklessly to secure a better position. Moreover, the tactical ability prevents enemies from taking up rush strategies as they damage and reduce opponent movement speed.
Wattson's ultimate is a great way to secure an explosive-free zone even in the open. This can be deployed behind Catalyst's ultimate ability to quickly initiate gunfights and have some passive armor regeneration at the same time. However, the abilities themselves cannot inflict damage so it falls on the team to hit their shots. The combo can only provide a more favorable fighting ground.
2) Wraith
Wraith and Wattson combos are quite popular as the Skirmisher legend can place down one end of her (Ultimate) teleporting portal inside fences and the other near the enemy team. This can be used as a bait to trap enemies inside and score easy eliminations and full squad wipes.
Wraith has been a go-to character for a lot of players and surprisingly remained effective in ranked and competitive matches. This legend can be used to bypass a lot of obstructions with the help of her tactical ability. The same can also be used to evade enemies when in a disadvantageous scenario. However, it has a long cooldown so it is best to save for extreme situations.
Wattson can anchor down areas on the map but does not have any abilities that can help players quickly reposition. This is where Wraith can benefit the team composition and help navigate the end zones where almost every corner contains an enemy team. Wattson can make use of a properly placed portal and instantly put down her own Pylon to protect the team from grenades and explosive abilities from legends like Fuse and Gibraltar.
3) Lifeline
Lifeline, after her latest rework, has become a meta-tier Legend in Apex Legends Season 23. Her new abilities make her one of the best Legends to duo with Wattson in the current season of the game.
From being a backline Support character, Lifeline now has a unique set of abilities that actually allow her to be a definitive threat on the battlefield.
Her Tactical ability, the D.O.C. Heal Drone, now follows allies and provides them healing on the go. This comes extremely handy as Wattson moves around to asses nearby threats, and also puts up her Perimeter Fences in the game. If she takes damage, this drone will provide her with healing as and when required.
Furthermore, Lifeline's Ultimate, paired with Wattson's Perimeter Fences and Pylon, undoubtedly makes for a devastating combo. All allies within the D.O.C. Halo get improved healing speeds and a 360-degree shield that protects them from incoming fire. Wattson's Fences will protect them against anyone who would dare set foot inside the Halo. Lastly, her Pylon will zap out any ordnances that enemies might throw into the Halo from above.

4) Newcastle
Newcastle is another Support character in Apex Legends who enjoys the latest buffs. His shields can be the difference maker during team fights as they allow players to hide behind temporary cover and make a full reset. His ultimate ability can be used to completely block one side and mitigate a lot of incoming damage. Wattson can place down her fences around this wall to deter enemies from vaulting across the temporary cover.
Newcastle emerged as one of the strongest meta picks in Apex Legends Season 23. Wattson can deploy her ultimate ability behind the Newcastle wall and ensure that enemy teams cannot throw grenades over it. Moreover, Wattson's Pylon can protect the team against other abilities like Gibraltar's ultimate by destroying the explosive projectiles.
5) Revenant
Revenant is an aggressive character from the Skirmisher category. His ability kit allows players to lunge toward enemies and initiate gunfights. The ultimate ability enabled a regeneration shield that can be used to stay in team fights longer without needing to engage in healing animations. Wattson's ultimate is a great asset for such scenarios and Revenant can engage enemies without needing to spend shield healing items.

Wattson can anchor down buildings and some open-ground spots with her fences and ultimate. This can be set up as a base where Revenant can quickly jump back in case the gunfights become too risky. Moreover, Revenant can provide the team with the necessary aggression that would not be possible with Wattson as she lacks any movement-based abilities.
That concludes our list of legends to duo with Wattson in Apex Legends.
