Fuse is one of the most used Assault characters, and it is primarily due to his tactical ability. He gets two charges for the tactical, which makes it even more dangerous against enemies trapped in corners inside houses.

You can choose to maximize the team’s firepower with more Fuse picks to ensure that no one on the map is safe as long as your tactical ability is off cooldown. Breaking down doors and cover becomes easier with this legend, while also providing you with one of the strongest damage-dealing ultimate abilities.

Warlord's Ire will allow you to track enemies and predict their moves ahead of time. This allows you to make quick and calculated offensive strokes, providing you with a massive advantage during gunfights.

Lifeline can be great for a fast-paced arena like Wildcard in Apex Legends Season 26 Split 2. Her tactical ability is a great way to keep everyone on the team healthy, ensuring the flesh health for players does not drop beyond a certain threshold. Considering the fact that you can stack Legends, you can have a team of three Lifelines constantly supporting each other.

Her ultimate ability defintiely feels like one of the best in this game mode. Provided you can ensure you're not going to get shot from high elevations, the protective sphere provided by the Halo can play a massive role in keeping everyone in the team healthy. Furthermore, if you are skilled enough, you can hop in and out of the Halo's protective sphere to dish out damage, and potentially secure kills in the game.

Caustic’s new buffs make him one of the most dangerous Controller characters in Apex Legends. You can use his tactical ability to lock down areas inside the safe zone to combat against aggressive players.

If you can survive till the final ring, you can even use your ultimate to initiate fights and force enemies to walk in and take damage. This makes it easier for you to shoot down slowed enemies while they take ticking damage. Alternatively, you can force teams out of corners or houses with your ultimate ability.
