Gibraltar is a character in Apex Legends who rose to the top with the recent Support Class buffs. While his kit was already good, these buffs rendered him an excellent unit in various ways. Players can protect themselves or their teammates, flush out enemies from corners, and easily anchor a spot while using this character.

Gibraltar’s whopping 99.5% pick rate is not surprising since his Tactical Ability plays an important role in most team fights. One can use it to outplay their opponents and secure a team wipe.

2) Newcastle – 96.17%

Along with most Support Legends, Newcastle became extremely popular after Respawn Entertainment released buffs for the class. The buffs pushed up some of his EVO perks, allowing him to climb to the SS tier. Since his abilities are extremely potent in most scenarios and are easier to use than most characters, Newcastle’s popularity is not surprising.

His abilities are perfect for pro players, as they can secure any spot with his ultimate. Meanwhile, his Tactical can be used to move from one location to another without taking any damage. Thus, it's a no-brainer that players are using him a lot in the ALGS Year 4 Championship 2025.

Since Support characters, such as Gibraltar and Newcastle, are popular among pro players in the ALGS Year 4 Championship 2025, Rampart’s pick rate being high in the tournament does not come as a surprise. She is the direct counter of Newcastle, as she can instantly destroy the latter’s Ultimate ability and Tactical.

Moreover, Rampart’s Tactical ability is useful for shooting distant enemies since it can boost the weapon’s damage, provided players shoot through it.

4) Catalyst – 20.33%

Catalyst is one of the most used characters in the ALGS Year 4 Championship 2025. While some of the featured maps in the tournament have a decent number of buildings, some are quite spacious and open. Catalyst is effective in both types of maps, as she can anchor a building single-handedly and create a wall of Ferrofluid, allowing her and her teammates to safely move to another spot.

Catalyst’s Tactical is also useful in various scenarios, especially to control part of an area. In the ALGS Year 4 Championship 2025, you will see players using this Legend mostly in Storm Point or World’s Edge since the maps are fairly open.

5) Valkyrie – 7.83%

Valkyrie is one of the top five most-picked Legends in the ALGS Year 4 Championship 2025. While most of the aforementioned characters are used by teams participating in this tournament, a few are seen using Valkyrie. Hence, her pick rate is quite low compared to other Legends on this list.

Valkyrie is exceptionally useful in various scenarios and allows players to relocate from one place to another. While others on the map can easily destroy an Evac Tower, knocking a Valkyrie while she is using her Ultimate is difficult.
