5 best legends to duo with Horizon in Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2

Here is a list of legends that Apex Legends fans can pick in a game with Horizon:

1) Fuse

Fuse is excellent to pair with Horizon as players can use the Gravity Lift to quickly gain some height and deploy Knuckle Clusters. This is a great way to have a better line of sight of the enemy squads as maps usually have a lot of varying terrain and cover in between locations. This can be used to quickly take control of building rooftops as well as initiate team fights.

One of the best features of Fuse's Ultimate is that it can highlight enemies when they are inside or near the flames. This makes them easy to shoot down as they will have difficulty spotting you through the visual clutter. Horizon's ultimate piled on top of it makes it a death trap where both characters can spam grenades to score easy kills.

Horizon's ultimate can be used at the beginning as well and Fuse can stick Knuckle Clusters on the enemies to reduce their shield levels. Once the Black Hole lands, Fuse can Aim Down Sight (ADS) and place down the ultimate ability to instantly trap anyone caught in Horizon's ultimate. Such a combo needs proper timing so might be a bit difficult to pull off at all times. But it can give the squad a complete advantage to secure a squad wipe.

2) Loba

The latest Astral Anomaly update has buffed Loba's kit, and her newfound strength has helped her defy all odds and rise above her competition. She is currently the strongest Support Legend featured in Apex's growing Legend roster.

Loba's tactical ability can help her reposition into strategic points. This, combined with Horizon's Gravity Lift can allow the duo to look for crafty angles to shoot at enemy players, and better yet, pressurize them into making mistakes. With up to two charges on her tactical ability, Loba can use the second charge to push into enemies and absolutely wreak havoc on them.

Her ultimate ability, Black Market, ensures that Horizon is always stacked with the best gear in the game. Furthermore, with its short recharge timer, she can repeatedly use this ability to feed Horizon with a continuous supply of grenades. The latter can use them to nuke enemy teams by pairing it with her ultimate ability, Black Hole.

3) Lifeline

Lifeline was recently reworked in Apex Legends and the Support category received massive buffs. This makes the Lifeline pick quite meta for both casual and ranked modes. Having a Lifeline in the team has become crucial as you can revive allies while being able to participate in gunfights. The Lifeline ultimate ability is another lifesaver that can shield the team from all incoming damage and make healing faster.

Lifeline can provide Horizon with a safe space to plan and execute strategies. One can throw down Horizon's tactical ability inside the Lifeline's ultimate and then deploy the Black Hole on the opponent team's location. This is a great way to take control of the map without sacrificing much space while initiating a team fight.

Furthermore, if things go south, the team can use the safety net of Lifeline's bubble to quickly heal up and get back to their full health. The changes to Lifeline's kit have absolutely elevated the duo's synergy with each other. Pushing the boundaries of their abilities absolutely relies on the player's using these characters. Last but not least, communication goes a long way when you're trying to maximize team synergy between two Legends in the game.

4) Octane

Octane, with his Jump Pad, makes for a fantastic Legend to duo with Horizon in Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2. He fills up the spaces where Horizon's kit cannot reach, providing the latter with horizontal mobility, and the ability to traverse through and cover a lot of ground very quickly.

Horizon can use Octane's Jump Pad to not only reposition, but combine it with her Black Hole for a devastating combo. Throw a few grenades once you chuck away your Black Hole, and watch as they blow up entire squads without you ever breaking a drop of sweat.

5) Ash

Ash is one of the most crafty Assault legends as she can see deathboxes on the whole map and strategize the safest routes into safe zones. Horizon can combine her ultimate ability with Ash's tactical to trap enemies and score quick eliminations. This is a great way to score early eliminations and secure kill points in the first few circles.

Ash can also take advantage of Horizon's tactical ability to gain height and launch her tactical ability to catch enemies off-guard. This is highly viable when fighting opponents who have captured the higher ground. Alternatively, the same can be done to create a one-way portal in the sky that cannot be used by other legends trying to chase your team.
