Revenant Reborn rework, Ultimate ability changes, Tactical ability changes, and other Legend changes coming in Season 18 of Apex Legends

The major source of the community's excitement for Season 18 stems from Revenant's rework in the game. Featuring Revenant Reborn, he has been transferred from the Assault Class to the Skirmisher Class in the upcoming update. With the latest rework, Revenant Reborn features the following abilities:

• Passive Ability (Assassin’s Instinct): It allows him to see very low-health enemies. It also gives him a faster crouch walk and improved wall climbing in the game, much like his pre-reworked Passive ability.
• Tactical Ability (Shadow Pounce): He pounces forward with great force and agility. Paired with his passive ability, he can also use it to quickly attach to walls and wall climb.
• Ultimate Ability (Forged Shadows): Revenant builds hardened shadows around him that block damage and regenerate. His shadows and his tactical will get refreshed after a knockdown.

Furthermore, Revenant is also receiving a brand new Heirloom with the latest Death Dynasty Collection Event, going live on August 8, 2023.

Tactical ability changes

Paired with the ultimate ability changes, Ballistic, Loba, and Seer have received a few changes to their tactical ability kits in Apex Legends Season 18.

Ballistic

First and foremost, Ballistic's Whistler has been mildly nerfed to balance out the CC effects of his ability. With the delays for weapon cooldown reduced, players will have a much better time dueling against Ballistic and his abilities.

Loba

Loba's tactical, Burglar's Best Friend, has been buffed. With five whole seconds reduced from the cooldown, her mobility and repositioning tool most definitely puts her in a healthy spot in the meta.

Seer

Despite recent nerfs, Seer, unfortunately, seems to still be on the oppressive side of the radar in Apex Legends. Season 18 moves on to nerf him further by reducing his duration of slow and silence for Focus of Attention. However, to balance his kit, the firing speed of the tactical ability has been increased from 0.9 to 1.4.
