Apex Legend’s Storm Point map has been around since Season 11 was introduced. This map is still the largest map in Apex after the introduction of Broken Moon in Season 15. Since the release of Storm Point, which also introduced Legend Ash – there is one major change to the map.
Starting in Season 13, there’s the Dead Sea Monster on the western edge of the map, a huge POI to explore with the introduction of IMC Armories. More Legends have been added since then, and you’ll want to know who’s the best fit for this massive map.
9 Caustic – Powerful Defender
Although counterintuitive for a lush tropical island, Storm Point has plenty of indoor spaces, caves and tight choke points. Players looking to control these realms for an advantage in battle will find the defensive Legend best suited, and this is where Caustic comes in.
Caustic’s abilities all focus on using toxic gases for area control. His tactic allows him to deploy melee trigger gas traps and his ultimate is a giant gas grenade. , he is adept at creating ambush points, especially near the enclosed Prowler area.
8 Loba – Ultimate Spoil Fiend
Loba’s Ultimate allows you to collect loot and ammo within a set range from the location you place it. Her Black Market is perfect for groups that want to move fast while spending as little time as possible on loot. Loba is useful on almost any map, but shines in various areas of Storm Point.
Putting her Black Market down and being able to scour the area for loot will save you time and allow you to work better with your team when you need ammo in a hurry. Loba’s tactic is also useful for Storm Point as there are so many vertical climbs to deal with. Throwing her jump drive allows you to easily reposition or jump over large gaps.
7 Horizon – maneuverable ascender
One of Storm Point’s defining features is its verticality, so Legends with movement included in their kits will benefit. Horizon’s Black Hole ultimate is no longer useful on Storm Point, but so are her other abilities.
Her tactic deploys gravity lifts that can quickly move upwards. This is great for quickly raising buildings or cliff faces, or closing the gap between your team and attackers on high ground. Horizon has been nerfed most of the reason season and has less movement while using gravity lifts.
6 Octane – Legend of the Fantastic Assault
Octane’s kit is the definition of a good all-rounder. His passive allows for health regeneration, his tactic temporarily increases his movement speed significantly at the cost of some health, and his ultimate places a jump pad allowing him and his team to spin quickly.
Octane has been a top legend for a while, and his viability continued as the season progressed. He has great abilities for anyone looking to play aggressively, so this stylish speedster is definitely worth a try. Just remember to stay with your team.
5 Catalyst – Powerful all-round player
Storm Point has wide open spaces and multiple buildings. To that end, Catalyst’s kit is excellent at forcing doors to close when crossing large expanses of land with nowhere to hide, or denying entry by providing cover with your ult.
There are several times when Ring ends up at Fish Farms or similar. It has a few houses and a wide body of water and land traversable. In moments like these, Catalyst allows you to get closer to your enemies and stay safe while moving. Her ultimate calls forth a massive veil that completely blocks vision, blinding enemies who walk through it.
4 Pathfinder – the choice for fast travel
Pathfinder’s tactic is the grapple, which works a bit like Spider-Man’s web. It can be wielded by Spider-Man and can achieve incredible speed when used correctly. The skill cap for playing Pathfinder is arguably the highest among Legends, but it’s worth taking the time to learn him. His ult has recently been beefed up, giving Zipline incredible range.
His ultimate allows him to place ziplines that his team can use. That’s nice, but the tactic is really the star of the show. Plus, Storm Point lets you traverse the map’s verticals or use long, steep hills to preserve the lightning-fast momentum you get from a good grapple.
three Ashe – Best Offensive Pick
Ash launched alongside Season 11 and Storm Point, and is appropriately our top pick. Her kit is powerful and versatile, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for an action-packed game.
Her passive marks death chests on the map and allows her to scan found chests to ping the killer. Her tactic is an electric trap that damages and binds enemies that get too close, and her ultimate is essentially teleporting and charging her team, taking high ground, or escaping combat to create a one-way portal for her team to follow.
2 Valkyrie – Best choice for traversing Storm Point
The Valkyrie is best suited for convenient, regular movement. Her passive allows her to fly using her jetpack, the only limitation being her fuel reserve. Storm Point’s verticality is minor, as while the other Legends struggle uphill, Valkyrie can fly to high ground as soon as things get scary. Despite her nerfs, she is still a strong Mobility Legend suitable for Storm Point.
Her tactic is a weak missile volley, and her ultimate allows her and her team to soar through the air and move around like in a jump tower. This is just a nice convenience on other maps, as other players can use jump towers for the same purpose, but since there are very few such jump towers on Storm Point, Valk’s ultimate also gives them a massive advantage on the map.
One Vantage – long-range fighter
Vantage is a sniper and her entire kit is based on it. Her passive shows her bullet drop indicator when using her long range scope. You have a huge advantage over enemies who are far away from you. Vantage must either use her sniper rifle or rely on her ultimate to dispatch people from a distance.
She can use her bat echo to reposition as a tactic, giving Finch vertical mobility. Due to the large size of Storm Point, as a Vantage, you always have a wide field of view, making it a dangerous threat at all ranges.
