Most picked Legends in Apex Legends Season 20

5. Wraith – 7%

Wraith teleports into fifth.

Wraith is easily one of the most iconic and popular Legends since the Apex Legends’ release, currently sitting in fifth position with a 7% pick rate.

Her abilities are great for survivability and getting the team out of sticky situations, making her a solid offense Legend, but also the perfect selection for rotation and defense when your team needs an escape.

4. Octane – 8%

Octane bounces into number four.

With an 8% pick rate, the speed demon Octane has taken the number four spot in Season 21 of Apex Legends. Aside from his amusing quips, he is the perfect balance of offense and defense.

Despite being regarded as an offensive Legend, Octane can greatly increase his sprint speed which I find useful for both attacking and retreating. But most Octane users thrive on his Launch Pad Ultimate which is a great tool for rotating and getting into fights quickly.

3. Lifeline- 8.2%

Rushing in at third is Lifeline.

Lifeline arrives at the number three spot with an 8.2% pick rate in Apex Legends Season 21. This support Legend is by far the best at reviving teammates. Her D.O.C. drone does all the work, allowing her to stay in the fight and provide some protection.

She’s a true combat medic, so it’s no surprise to see her in the top five most popular Legends.

2. Pathfinder – 8.8%

Pathfinder swings his way to the number two spot.

Pathfinder has consistently been one of Apex Legends’ top five picks and is currently sitting in second place with a 8.8% pick rate.

As a Skirmisher class, Pathfinder simply excels in movements and traversing the game’s various maps. His Grappling Hook and Zipline Gun are invaluable assets that will help any team in a pinch – either because of the circle or a third-party situation.

1. Alter – 10% – Most popular Legend in Season 21

Alter has shot straight to number one in Season 21.

It’s no surprise to see the new Apex Legend Alter sitting at the top of the pile with a 10% pick rate in Season 21.

Naturally, this always happens when a new character drops, as players are all eager to try the Legend’s abilities and see how strong they are. Alter arrived in great condition; she’s not OP, but she’s also very strong, mainly thanks to her tactical which allows her and others to pass through walls.

Who is the least-used Legend in Apex Legends?

Seer is currently the least-picked Legend in Apex Legends Season 21 with 0.8%, despite having a strong kit that can be very helpful in final circle situations.

That covers all the picks in Apex Legends Season 21. As always, buffs and nerfs will come and go throughout the season, altering the game’s meta, and subsequently, Legend pick rates.
