Valkyrie in Apex Legends is most effective when the squad requires repositioning. Although the new Season 24 is being dominated by the Assault meta, having an extra option for retreating can always be helpful. She can also poke damage at enemy teams with her missile swarm to farm damage.

Five characters who are perfect for duo queuing with Valkyrie in Apex Legends

Valkyrie's abilities make her stand out from other Skirmishers in Apex Legends. She possesses a unique set of powers that simply make her one of the most versatile characters in the game.

In Season 24 of Apex Legends, Valkyrie remains a solid Legend pick in the game. With a meta dominated by Assault-class characters, it never hurts to have someone like her in a team. Let's explore her abilities:

• VTOL Jets (Passive Ability): Valkyrie gets access to jetpacks that allow her to scale heights and traverse distances for a short duration.
• Missile Swarm (Tactical Ability): With this ability, Valkyrie can shoot 12 missiles in a 4x3 array, dealing damage in a 1.25-meter radius. Any player that gets hurt with this ability takes 25 damage and gets stunned for a duration of up to two seconds.
• Skyward Dive (Ultimate Ability): Valkyrie charges her jetpack to deploy into the air. With this ability, you can climb a maximum of 135 meters into the air and enter into a skydive, similar to using a Jump Tower in the game.

Furthermore, she also gets access to the following perks in-game:

• Afterburners: 15% higher launch with Skyward Dive. (Level 2)
• Aerial Expert: Improved VTOL Jets handling.(Level 2)
• Fuel Tank: +25% VTOL Jets VTOL Jets fuel. (Level 3)
• Full Coverage: Modify Missile Swarm Missile Swarm pattern from 4x3 to 3x5.(Level 3)

With her abilities understood, let us now explore the five best Legends you can pair with Valkyrie in Apex Legends Season 24:

1) Lifeline

Lifeline recently received a massive rework that changed her ultimate ability and how her tactical healing drone works. Lifeline can now assign the drone to different members as it travels with them and heals them. This is great for Valkyrie as she can fly up while carrying the heal drone with her and take gunfights. Lifeline's ultimate also makes for perfect cover where the entire team can reset quickly and then rejoin the team fight.

Lifeline's ultimate can also serve as a launch pad for Valkyrie to activate her ultimate. Since bullets cannot get through the ultimate shield, the squad can easily take Valkyrie's ultimate, reposition themselves whenever necessary, and occupy the upper hand during final zones. Moreover, Valkyrie can safely deploy her tactical ability from inside Lifeline's ultimate and avoid getting shot in the open.

2) Ash

Ash has become one of the highest-picked legends in the game after the Season 24 update went live. The new season empowered the Assault class and brought some much-needed rework to Ash's kit. She can now dash in any direction in mid-air and cast a longer teleport. This makes her a better repositioning character than Valkyrie. However, all abilities have cooldowns so Valkyrie can reserver her ultimate as a final option.

Ash can use her snare to catch enemies off-guard in the open. Valkyrie can take this chance to target the trapped enemy with her missile swarm and disorient them with the stun debuff. Once this is done, the squad can move in and score an easy kill.

Valkyrie is also quite agile with her jetpacks but she is slower than Ash in the current patch. But this is a good ability that players can use to keep up with Ash while she initiates team fights or tries to take a different position on the map.

3) Newcastle

Newcastle has recently been nerfed with the Split 2 update for Apex Legends Season 24. However, his abilities and the utility provided via his entire kit make him a great Legend to duo with Valkyrie in Apex Legends.

Newcastle is a support-class character, and his abilities are mostly defensive by default. However, in the right hands, players can tweak these abilities for offensive pushes. He is one of the best Legends when it comes to claiming space and holding it as his own.

When paired with Valkyrie, Newcastle gets access to a segment of mobility that was never possible before. Valkyrie's Skyward Dive provides the Legend with the power to rotate to any position on the map.

As for Valkyrie, she significantly benefits from both of Newcastle's deployables. His Castle Wall and Mobile Shield act as the perfect cover whenever Valkyrie needs to break her line of sight against enemy players. Last but not least, when knocked down, Newcastle can use his Retrieve the Wounded passive ability to quickly get her back on her feet, and right into the action.

4) Octane

Octane received some big buffs with the arrival of the Season 24 Split 2 update. The speedster can take advantage of the new Charged Knock Skirmisher class perk to gain an additional ultimate charge whenever securing an elimination. However, the charge is temporary and expires if not used within 30 seconds. This is a great way to ensure that you and your squad have the means to reposition during active gunfights.

Octane's forte is speed and his entire kit is focused on providing as much agility as possible throughout the game. Valkyrie struggles with covering long distances, as she primarily excels in vertical movement and taking height advantage. Octane's jump pads make it easier for the Recon legend to get to the battlefield faster. Moreover, the new Trailblazer perk provides allies with a speed boost when moving toward the squad's Skirmisher legend.

Valkyrie's ultimate is a great repositioning tool, but it has its cons that make it difficult to depend on. Octane's pad is comparatively more user-friendly and forgiving, as players can simply run over it to cover large distances. Valkyrie can even use her tactical ability while mid-air when taking one of the jump pads.

5) Revenant

Revenant is also a Skirmisher character who enjoys the new class perks and has an aggressive ability kit. You can use this character to initiate fights or retreat from unfavorable situations. Although his kit does not directly help out Valkyrie in any way, Revenant can tank a lot of damage to provide space for the squad to attack.

Valkyrie's ability to poke enemies from a distance with stun missiles can be a massive help for aggressive players as it makes scoring eliminations easy. Moreover, this duo can choose to fight on the outskirts of the zone for longer and utilize Valkyrie's ultimate to fly into the safe zone.
