As your Legend will forcefully be swapped to a different one after you get eliminated in the Apex Legends Three Strikes Mystery Legends mode, it is best to rely on weapons if you are not comfortable with some of the characters.

After landing from the dropship, look for the meta-defining weapons to increase your survivability. Guns such as P2020 Akimbo, EVA-8, Flatline, Nemesis, and Triple Take are excellent for this mode.

While fighting, if you get knocked down, make sure to crawl toward a safe area near your teammates. Since you will be invincible while crawling, enemies cannot finish you off. Similarly, when you secure a knockdown, follow the player and eliminate their teammate. Here, the meta-defining weapons will come into play and help you secure the squad-wipe.
