Kings Canyon Legend comps for Apex Legends' ranked play

The reintroduction of Kings Canyon to the map pool calls for understanding the best possible compositions that players can opt for to dominate their opposition. This article describes three different compositions, taking into account varied playstyles and the factors that govern the map in Apex Legends Season 17.

Here are the three best Legend compositions to play with in Kings Canyon, ranked:

1) The Aggressive Trio

Stacked with some of the most aggressive Legends in the game, this composition is perfect to execute a W-key playstyle. Introducing the latest legend, Ballistic, coupled with Horizon and Octane, the trio can wreak havoc across the entire lobby.

Ballistic's kit is designed to be great at initiating fights. Horizon's tactical ability, Gravity Lift, provides the entire team with the ability to quickly scale high ground and reposition. In a map like Kings Canyon, it proves extremely useful in not just repositioning, but in disengaging from certain fights as well.

While the team collectively does damage to the enemies, Octane's ultimate, the Jump Pad, can be used by the trio to dive at injured opponents and eliminate them from the game. Players opting for this stack must have adept mechanical skills to engage in gunfights, as it is an unspoken but required skill to hone.

2) The Zone Composition

Based on playing around the final rings of the matches, Zone Compositions provide the team with some excellent utility to survive till the endgame. Made of Caustic, Crypto, and Valkyrie, this trio is excellent to play in a deep-zone setting in Kings Canyon.

Caustic's Class perk allows him to scan the upcoming rings and make the decision regarding where the team should hold ground. Crypto provides excellent recon skills and information regarding enemies and their whereabouts. With calculated decision-making, the team can use Valkyrie's ultimate, Skyward Dive, to rotate deep into the center ring to get ready for the endgame.

The key to succeeding in a zone composition is to have the patience to wait for late-game KP. Adept on-the-go decision-making can make for some great plays as well as secure easy wins for the squad. Players can also swap out Caustic and Crypto for Legends such as Rampart, Wattson, Catalyst, and Bloodhound.

3) The Dynamic Stack

A relatively small map in Apex Legends, Kings Canyon often juggles between pin-drop silence or the entire lobby third-partying at the same spot within a matter of seconds. This often results in some squads getting absolutely demolished within minutes after landing, while some are left all alone in the corner of the maps, holding the zone.

A dynamic stack, consisting of Loba, Rampart, and Horizon can prove to be the perfect middle-ground. A sort of hybrid squad, the trio excels in swapping their playstyle with how the game progresses.

Rampart can provide excellent cover and scary fire-power, provided she can put up her Amped Walls. It is intrinsic to holding down the team's ground and retaliating against enemies.

Horizon's initiating ability as well as the power to reposition the lineup comes in clutch during hectic gunfights. Meanwhile, Loba provides an unlimited supply of ammunition and healing to her team, allowing the team to maintain its stronghold.
