All Legends placed in a tier list based on their value in Apex Legends Ranked
Before we proceed, it's important to know how we've categorized the different tiers in this Legend tier list.
`
SS-tier
Ash

In Season 24 Split 2, Ash is one of the most overpowered Legends you can use to dominate in Apex Legends Ranked. Her ability to move swiftly around the map makes her highly effective, allowing her to engage easily and run away to safety.
Since Ash’s stowed weapons automatically get reloaded without having a Gold Magazine attachment, she can constantly pressure the enemies while fighting. Moreover, if she is in a pinch, her ultimate ability helps her relocate around the map.
Ballistic

With Ash, Ballistic also received buffs to his kit alongside Season 24. Since the Apex Legends Ranked playstyle is now quite aggressive, Ballistic is an excellent character to play. The buffs made his kit more powerful and effective against adversaries. Moreover, you can now store up to four charges of his Tactical ability when you have all of his EVO perks unlocked.
Ballistic’s Ultimate is also exceptional when he and his teammates are engaged in a fight. The ability substantially increases his chances of winning the fight as it grants unlimited ammo and increased reload speed to every ally.
Mad Maggie

Another Legend you can use for Apex Legends Ranked in Season 24 is Mad Maggie. Along with most Assault Class Legends, this character also received various buffs. She is equipped with a Drill Charge and a Wrecking Ball that allows her to fit into most of the team compositions, excelling in the aggressive playstyle.
Moreover, Mad Maggie’s EVO perks allow her to be more dominant in fights as it can bestow an additional Tactical ability charge and automatic shotgun reload on knockdowns or exploding Wrecking Ball.
Alter

Alter, with the latest Apex Legends update, has become one of the prime meta characters in the game. Her abilities now provide her with much more versatility, and her ability to be aggressive has increased tenfold. Changes to her Legend upgrades are also something that one should take note of, on account of how much utility it provides players. We believe she will spearhead the Legend meta in Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2.

Wraith

Fans would be excited to know that Wraith in Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2 has once again become a meta Legend in-game. Her abilities have been altered with the latest update. She is now a much more versatile character, and owing to the latest Skirmisher changes, her utility on the field has increased tenfold.

S-tier

The Legends in this tier are not as effective as the ones in the SS-tier. These characters can be impactful while engaged in a fight. The Legends in S-tier are as follows:
- Lifeline
- Loba
- Horizon
- Gibraltar
- Mirage
- Newcastle
- Bangalore
If you're looking for a change from the SS-tier Legends, the ones mentioned above are excellent alternatives. Notably, Lifeline is the only Legend in this tier whose abilities won’t get destroyed by Mad Maggie’s Ultimate.
A-tier

The Legends in A-tier are decent but not as useful in Apex Legends Ranked. Since the meta is centered around the Assault Class Legends, these characters have been overshadowed by them:
- Fuse
- Pathfinder
- Revenant
- Valkyrie
- Crypto
- Catalyst
- Conduit
Pathfinder recently received a nerf. Because of that, his pick rate fell significantly. On the other hand, Alter’s abilities are quite versatile and can be useful in most scenarios, especially when you are in a pinch.

B-tier

The Characters in this tier fail to show their dominance on the battlefield. The Legends in B-tier are:
- Caustic
- Bloodhound
- Rampart
- Octane
- Seer
- Vantage
- Wattson
Among all characters in this tier, Seer and Bloodhound are not effective in most scenarios. Additionally, Octane is one of the least useful Skirmishers in Apex Legends, as his kit doesn’t offer any versatility.
