Apex Legends character tier list, Season 26
Who to main after the mid-season patch, and who is a pubs-only pick.

Season 26 mid-patch shuffle. This list is ranked-first. Pubs hide a lot of sins. Diamond does not.
| Legend | Tier | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bangalore | S | Support / skirmish | The extra second of smoke is a full fight. |
| Alter | A | Skirmish | Still good. The landing tell means you cannot ego-portal anymore. |
| Catalyst | S | Controller | Fence plus ultimate still owns buildings. |
| Horizon | A | Skirmish | Lift is still the best third-party tool in the game. |
| Lifeline | B | Support | Fine. Not a carry. Do not instalock her into a team without a controller. |
| Revenant | B | Assault | Pubs monster. Ranked liability if your team cannot follow the dive. |
Comps that work
- Catalyst / Bangalore / Horizon — the boring ranked comp. It wins.
- Alter / Ash / Support of choice — only if your three-stack already talks.
- Triple assault — a content comp. Take it to pubs. Leave it out of ranked.
If you one-trick a legend in C-tier, you can still climb. You will climb slower. The list is a recommendation, not a religion.
