Why Wraith is the best legend in Apex Legends

Since the release of Apex Legends, Wraith has been considered by many the strongest all-round character in the game, and it looks like this will continue to be the case heading into Season 4. A high skill ceiling with abilities that can be used to great effect both offensively and defensively, and a hitbox so small it can often seem like she dances between your shots with ease. Our Apex Legends Wraith guide will walk you through everything you need to know to start racking up kills with the Interdimensional Skirmisher herself.

Wraith guide overview – character strengths and weaknesses

Everything about Wraith is designed to make her difficult to pin down and kill. While big beefy Tanks like Gibraltar look to absorb and negate damage, Wraith seeks to avoid it altogether. She is the only Legend with what is essentially a “get out of trouble” button which allows her to avoid damage entirely for a short time as she repositions herself elsewhere.

Add to this her small hitbox and her Passive ability, which alerts her when she is being watched by an enemy, and you’ve got a Legend who is very skilled at being in the right place at the right time.

Wraith one of the only characters in Apex Legends where you have to really dig deep to find any sort of weakness in her character. All her abilities synergise extremely well, and she is excellent on her own but also plays an important role for the whole team.

The one weakness that I’ve been able to find is that Wraith players tend to rely heavily on her Tactical “phase” ability to get out of bad spots, so if you catch her while that ability is on cooldown, then Wraith players are generally a little more panicked than with other characters because they have lost the safety net upon which they so often rely.

Seriously though, Wraith is great. Let’s explore a little further into why she is so dominant at the moment in Apex Legends.
