S-Tier

Crypto

Crypto recently gained a new buff as a level 2 perk which allows players to cloak themselves while using the tactical ability. This is a change that can help players navigate through risky areas without putting themselves in immediate danger. Such a perk can be utilized to go invisible during late rounds and scan the areas around the team to provide crucial positional information.

Crypto’s location, while invisible, is revealed by scan abilities and beacons. However, players can make quick work of surveying the surrounding area with the drone’s improved handling and reduced cooldowns.

Despite the latest nerfs to his perk, Crypto remains a solid meta pick for the ongoing season, and the ongoing meta in the game. With Support Class Legends rising to the top, Crypto serves as a direct counter to most of their abilities. EMP is an extremely strong tool, which, when utilized carefully, can dismantle an entire team and swing the tides of your engagement.

All in all, until the Legend gets nerfed in future updates, Crypto shall remain the uncrowned king of the Recon class characters offered in Apex Legends.


A-Tier

Vantage

Vantage now has one of the strongest sniper rifles as her ultimate ability as any enemy marked with the first shot will take a whopping 2.5x damage with the second shot. This potentially means that players can knock players with just two shots if the opponents are on white shields.

Moreover, it is a great way to poke other squads without needing to get closer and fight with traditional weapons like rifles.


Valkyrie

Valkyrie can now scan enemies through walls while skydiving. However, this is a perk that is only available after players get to the level 3 upgrade. Combined with the upgraded tactical ability damage and stun, Valkyrie is slowly making a spot on the meta after the introduction of Evac Towers overshadowed the ability kit.

The legend was also moved back to Recon class which helps players utilize the Theat Vision feature which highlights enemies. Valk fans can also gain this vision while using the jetpacks which makes it easier to launch the tactical swarm of missiles.


B-Tier

Seer

Seer is one of the characters that has a higher learning curve in ranked modes. So it was a healthy surprise when the developers enabled the health bars to stay visible throughout the entire tactical ability. Moreover, players can also choose to get an additional tactical ability charge as a part of the level 3 upgrade.

The devs also increased the overall movement speed for Seer when using the passive skill to detect nearby enemies. This is great for end zones when teams need to rotate into the safe areas quickly and cannot afford to scan every corner.
