What are the best Apex Legends starter characters? 

As we know there is a max of 16 characters or Legends that we call them in game, and 6 are unlocked (free) to use when starting out. Usually, learning these 6, or at least some of them would be viable because they are free for a reason and that reason is them being easy to use for players which can can adapt quickly to. Of course, there is other locked characters that would be ideal for new players to prioritize unlocking first that we will be discussing down below.

What makes the best starting character in Apex Legends? 

When we find the best starting character in Apex Legends, it’s usually based on easy to understand skillsets to comfortably adapt to during real gameplay fights. This can range from support, defense, and offensive role focused characters. Some characters may take time getting use to due to the complexity of the tactics used for them, and some really don’t need complex tactics and really depends in the end on the player themselves to what fits best for them.

Lifeline

What makes Lifeline a great starter character for new players is due to its simplicity in being a support player. The main roles are healing and reviving. While her Ultimate skill is straightforward to where it calls out a storage crate for your team which is nothing too hard to get use to and understand that makes it an awesome character to master at first then lean more on offensive roles afterwards.

Bangalore 

Bangalore could be the best Apex Legends starter characters for new players, as its skills are easy to use in combat. It was built to depict the average combat soldier figure with a simplistic offensive skill kit.

Her primary skill being a Smoke grenade for escape or committing for an aggressive counter attack, and her Ultimate skill to shoot out a flare for an airstrike which is something that a new player can easily adjust to and comprehend the tactical gameplay used for Bangalore.

Bloodhound 

Bloodhound is a recon Legend, the easiest recon legend to use. His primary skill is the best for close and mid-range combat where he can track and scan anyone at a specific range, and his Ultimate skill is a beast in battle giving him full awareness around him.

Players love to use him just for his primary skill alone, and it makes him a priority character for the team. Bloodhound is great for new players if they want to get into the Recon gameplay role.

GIBRALTAR  

Gibraltar is defensive Legend that is known for being a solid tank that baits enemies for the team. His abilities revolve around shield based power with his primary and passive skills.

His Ultimate skill is similar with Bangalores airstrike, but unlike Bangalore where it doesn’t explode on impact immediately, Gibraltar airstrike does explode immediately on impact. Gibraltar makes a great defensive support due to these two skills.

Pathfinder 

Pathfinder abilities are pretty fun, he’s considered to be the Spiderman of Apex Legends. His primary skill allows to grapplehook mountains and other terrain objects to zip around like Spiderman, his Ultimate allows you to make a Zipline at any location you want to proceed in, making him useful when you need to escape an area via a Zipline.

Wraith 

Wraith is the most popular character in the game, and she’s free. What makes her a viable character for new players is due to her simple offensive skills. Although, despite simple, you may need to have a good understanding of it, maps, common game sense and tactical gameplay knowledge to be an effective Wraith player.

Wraith is still a great starting character to learn the overall offensive style gameplay and get use to the tactical combat Apex Legends has. It might seem somewhat hard to use her during a fight at first, but once you get it all figured out, it’s a smooth experience from there as she is the best agile offensive character with an ultimate you can use to escape during battle.

What is the best Apex Legends starter characters to buy next? 

Now you have money to buy a character, but now what, can’t decide? Here’s a few of the purchasable characters you can buy and enjoy learning.

Caustic 

Caustic could be the most interesting player for strategic players. He has the ability to lay down Toxic Gas Traps which explodes when shot at or activated will release a plume of toxic gas in the area damaging enemies and slowing them down. His Ultimate is also deadly which is a toxic grenade.

Poison abilities in a fast-pace shooting game don’t really workout well, and Caustic makes a great Legend to master for these deadly abilities.

Mirage 

Mirage has received mixed opinions whether it is good for new players to learn or not. Mirage has an awesome passive skill that makes a clone of himself while the real you is reviving a teammate.

His primary skills are not complex but he just needs time to learn. Mirage in the right hands can be a top tier character, and that what makes it a hard character because not everyone knows how to use it properly, but the skills itself are simplistically friendly for a new player to adaptably learn through.

Fuse 

Fuse is a new character in Apex Legend that came out in Season 8 of Apex Legends and probably a very simple, easy to use Legend making him one of the new beginner friendly characters in Apex Legends. Fuse has the ability to store 1 extra grenade in his firing slot at the side of his arm and his other primary skill makes him fire a cluster bomb that continuously ignites mini airburst explosions.

While his Ultimate skill fires a bombardment creating a circle of fire entrapping whoever is in the middle of it. A great offensive DPS character for a new player to buy.

Enjoy!
