Unlike other battle royales, Apex Legends emphasizes team synergy. The best Legends excel in this collaborative environment, sharing similarities with hero shooters. (For example, see [link to Marvel Rivals seasonal changes]). This ranking avoids a traditional "tier list" format, instead presenting a ranked list from most to least effective.
