What are Lifeline's abilities in Apex Legends?
Lifeline's kit in Apex Legends is designed to support her teammates, providing great healing buffs and allowing her team to have better sustenance in tough situations. Below is a list of her abilities:
- Combat Glide (Passive Ability): Lifeline can deploy her portable drone and latch onto it while falling from a height to glide and cover more distance. It has a limited glide time as a balance for the ability.
- D.O.C. Heal Drone (Tactical Ability): You can call your D.O.C. Heal Drone to automatically heal all teammates within a radius. The drone can also be assigned to a specific member of the team as the new drone can move around by following allies or Lifeline herself
- D.O.C Halo (Ultimate Ability): Lifeline can place down a different drone on the ground to create a 360-degree shield that blocks all incoming and outgoing damage. The top of the shielded area remains open. Anyone inside this area can heal faster.
How to use Lifeline in Apex Legends?
Being a Support Legend, Lifeline in Apex Legends holds the primary position of being near the team at the backline. Your positioning and survivability play a huge role in every team fight. She is the only Legend who can revive allies without committing the action personally.
The Combat Revive mechanic is your most powerful tool. If you get knocked down first in every team fight, you fail to bring any utility to team fights. Stay aware and ensure you are positioned in relative safety. During every team fight, provide your teammates with the D.O.C. Heal Drone to quickly top their HP up, if required.
Most importantly, never fail to initiate Combat Revive in team fights when you play as Lifeline. It creates immense pressure on the enemy players to eliminate knocked-down enemies. This essentially turns fights in your favor. Use revives as a distraction to completely wreck enemy teams.
All perks for Lifeline in Apex Legends Season 24
Lifeline in Apex Legends Season 24 is a meta pick and can be quite difficult to deal with. She also has a passive movement ability now which makes it more difficult to chase behind and land shots in the air.
That said, you can choose to increase your glide time by 1.5 seconds or increase your Battery stack limit by 1 in the Level 2 upgrade. The second perk also allows you to see the number of Batteries in a death box.

At Level 3, you can choose between increasing the tactical drone assign distance by 50% or reducing the tactical ability cooldown by 10 seconds. Both perks are good but the second one seems to be more popular as it makes the tactical ability accessible quickly.
