Players of Apex Legends are continuously brainstorming new ways to include legends into the game. Players were desperate for a new support character, so they took matters into their own hands and made one.
Players can choose from 18 different characters in order to build the greatest possible team. While each legend offers something unique to the table, several may do similar tasks. Only Lifeline, out of the 18 characters in the game, is focused on team support.
With a new season approaching and plenty of opportunity to introduce a new character, the community has come up with a fantastic concept for a new healing legend. Players are excited to see another character added to the game, despite the fact that Lifeline is the only one who truly supports an entire team.
In this Reddit post by a user that goes by the name ‘WithAOwlMask,’ they propose a new legend that focuses on healing and providing help to their team.
The following are the talents of this support character are;
- Passive ability: Interact with already used respawn beacons to reactive them. Revive and respawn teammates 15% faster.
- Tactical Ability: Aim at a teammate and press Q to instantly give them 25 shields. Cost 1 Shield Cell to use. 6 second cooldown.
- Ultimate Ability: 75% of the healing you receive for items is also given to your teammates for the next 20 seconds. Tactical cannot be used while the effect is active.
After witnessing the capabilities, it’s clear that this would be a better support than Lifeline is now. This equipment could come in handy, especially if you’re being third-parties by another team.
This proposal appeared to be well-received by the community with one user even commenting; “This is actually one of the best new ability ideas I’ve seen in this sub.” While some may think it’s a touch too polished, it gets right to the heart of what it means to be a medic.
While the names of the new Apex Legends characters have been teased, their specific kits have yet to be revealed. Fans would want to see Respawn Entertainment accept a community suggestion and make it playable in-game, even if it’s doubtful.
