Apex Legends Mobile Characters and Abilities (June 2022)
While we have detailed all the characters in Apex Legends Mobile along with their abilities in this article, we have also addressed questions gamers might have on their minds about the official release. However, if you are a veteran and want to jump straight to the legend list, use the table below.
Do Characters in Apex Legends Mobile Work Like the PC/ Console version?
While the fundamentals and core abilities of each character in Apex Legends Mobile will remain the same as the PC/ console version, there is a high chance they might play a bit differently on mobile. That is primarily due to the specific balancing and tweaks required depending on the platform you play the game on.
So yes, there is a chance that specific parameters like weapon and ability damage numbers might change. However, as we mentioned above, the core abilities and qualities of each legend will remain untouched. That means you won’t need to relearn the way you play a legend – be it Wraith or Gibraltar.
Can I Expect More Characters in Apex Legends Mobile Soon?
Yes, you definitely can. The number of characters is currently limited in the Apex Legends Mobile global release. However, as the developer further optimizes the game and rolls out more content, we expect the list of characters to grow and include all the legends available on the PC and console versions. So don’t worry, as we will constantly update the list with new Apex Legends Mobile characters when they become available in the game.
List of Characters in Apex Legends Mobile Right Now (Season 2)
Without further ado, let’s list out all the characters (or legends, as the game calls it) available in Apex Legends Mobile right now.

For Apex Legends Mobile gamers who want to track down their enemies and shed blood, Bloodhound is the perfect character for you. Long been regarded as one of the greatest hunters the Frontier has ever seen, Bloodhound is a technological tracker with a tragic past. The unidentified legend was orphaned at a young age when a meltdown destroyed a facility and killed both their parents.
Thankfully, Bloodhound was cared for by uncle Arthur, who while tried to teach them the old ways, failed. And well, Bloodhound embraced modern technology and ultimately honed it enough to save their village.
Aided by the Earth’s old Norse Gods, Bloodhound is an excellent addition to any squad with their tracking abilities. They make sure no enemy can ever hide from you on the battlefield. Make sure to have this handy Apex Legends mobile character on your team for when the time comes.

2. Bangalore
Designed explicitly for frontline warriors in Apex Legends Mobile, Bangalore is a soldier who hails from a military background. With the entire family serving in the IMC, an organization Titanfall players will be familiar with, Bangalore is a character with extensive combat experience.

Anita Williams is a character for Apex Legends players who are not afraid of charging right in. Encompassing an ability combination of attack deception, speed, and offense, Bangalore is a legend Apex mobile players absolutely must try.
- Passive Ability: Double Time – This ability increases Bangalore’s sprinting speed by 30% if the character is taking fire. However, it is only for a brief time (around 2 seconds). You could, however, combine the Double Time ability with your movement to escape fights or confuse enemies close range.
- Tactical Ability: Smoke Launcher – Bangalore fires a high-velocity smoke canister that creates a thick smoke wall on impact. This wall can be used to create deception and sneak by uninformed assailants.
- Ultimate Ability: Rolling Thunder – Designed to cause absolute mayhem, this ultimate ability allows the legend to call in an artillery strike that slowly eviscerates the landscape.
3. Octane
An adrenaline junkie, Octane aka Octavio Silva, used to perform death-defying stunts before he got into a freak accident. When he was informed that he would lose both his legs, Octane guilted an old friend into helping him. Now outfitted with bionic legs, which this speed-loving Apex Legends mobile character can repair anytime, Octane seeks a bigger thrill. His search led him to the Apex Games, but his pursuit to seek more death and become the Apex Champion has kept him there.
Designed for players who think like Octane, this Apex Legends mobile character is perfect for speed junkies and entry fraggers who can automatically heal themselves after taking damage.
- Passive Ability: Swift Mend – Octane automatically restores any lost health over time (1 HP per second).
- Tactical Ability: Stim – The Stim gives 30% extra movement speed for six seconds. However, the downside is that it costs health (HP) to use every time. So use it carefully while rushing into a fight, else you will be 50HP and eliminated in a matter of time.
- Ultimate Ability: Jump Pad – A team-centric ability, Octane can deploy a jump pad that catapults you and your teammates who jump on it through the air. There’s also a double jump mechanic tied to the Jump Pad to take you even farther.
4. Gibraltar
Dubbed as a gentle giant who can go a little crazy, Gibraltar is a tank-based character in Apex Legends mobile. Growing up as a son of two search and rescue volunteers, Makoa has always been adept at getting others out of dangerous situations. After causing a dangerous accident that made his father lose an arm, Gibraltar dedicated his entire life to saving others. This skill becomes especially useful in Apex Games as Gibraltar puts his life on the line on the regular.
Gibraltar is the perfect legend for players who think of their teammates before themselves in Apex Mobile. You can use his abilities to not only slow down fights but take down enemies with a mortar strike as well. So yeah, Gibraltar is one of the most well-round characters in Apex Legends Mobile.

Now taking part in the Apex Games on the regular, Lifeline engages in the bloodsport while acting sarcastic and tough. However, the 24-year-old medic has a deep resolve in her heart to save people and doesn’t mind spilling a little blood of enemies to achieve that goal.
Players looking for an action-packed character in Apex Legends Mobile should steer clear of Lifeline. This legend is a medic through-and-through and comes in super handy for resetting after fights.

- Tactical Ability: D.O.C Heal Drone – Calls the drone of compassion that automatically heals nearby teammates over time.

His creator was deceased in a blast on the floating city of Olympus, as revealed in an Apex Legends PC arc.

Also, using the ability makes Mirage invisible for some time, giving him a small window to escape the enemies and take cover or bamboozle the heck out of them.
10. Fade
Players acquainted with the PC/ console version of the game will not be familiar with Fade. That’s because Fade arrives as the first mobile-exclusive legends in Apex Legends Mobile with the global launch of the game. He’s dubbed the phasing punisher, and you will find some similarities to Wraith in his kit.
Hailing from Salvo, Fade joins the Apex games to avenge his family, who was brutally killed by mercenaries looking to get their hands on a mysterious simulacrum suit with phase technology. The legend now uses the simulacrum suit to his advantage, and here are all his abilities:
- Passive Ability: Slipstream – Fade gains a short momentum boost at the end of a slide. You will see an increase in movement speed after you slide and start running.
- Tactical Ability: Flash Back – The game brings another take on Wraith’s phase ability with this legend. You can phase back to your previous location from a while ago using this ability. It could prove beneficial while pushing enemies and making initial plays for your team.
- Ultimate Ability: Phase Chamber – This is a throwable grenade that sends all characters within its range into the void for 3.5 seconds, as per our testing. You cannot shoot the enemy while they’re in the void, nor can they shoot you. Also, if you get caught in there with them, you both cannot shoot each other but move around freely. This ability could be useful to quickly disengage fights or confuse enemies.
11. Loba
Loba was never tested in any of the closed betas ahead of the global launch, but she was spotted in the Apex Legends Mobile Launch trailer. And well, with the launch of the second season of Apex Legends Mobile, Loba has joined the Apex games.

12. Wattson
The daughter of the lead electrical engineer of the Apex Games, Natalie Paquette aka Wattson, is a defender capable of manipulating electricity. Joining the games after her father’s passing, Wattson considers all the other legends a part of the family and hence takes part in the Apex Games regularly. However, don’t let her innocent face fool you. Wattson is a deadly opponent capable of not only defending but singlehandedly securing positions for her team. She also created the Game’s containment ring, so be wary of her creation.
Players using Wattson will love her combination of traps and shields. She is another defensive Apex Legends Mobile character but lacks the offensive capabilities that legends like Gilbraltar or Caustic offer. She is weak, as you will see in our Apex Legends Mobile Character tier list below.
- Passive Ability: Spark of Genius- Can fully charge her Ultimate ability by using just one Ultimate Accelerant.
- Tactical Ability: Perimeter Security – Can connect nodes to create electrified fences to secure an area on the map. The fences damage and slow down enemies.

With more stealth and preparation under his belt, Crypto is the silent but deadly surveillance expert in Apex Legends Mobile. Framed for his sister’s murder after finding an Apex Games algorithm, Tae Joon Park aka Crypto is a hacker hell-bent on clearing his name. And for that, he decided the best course of action is to go through the belly of the beast, join the Apex Games and get in the spotlight.
Built for surveillance and recon, Crypto is a character in Apex Legends Mobile that not only gathers intel for himself but the entire team. So if you do pick him for your missions, be sure to not run off into combat and instead help out with your handy drone to start with.

14. Revenant
This Apex Legends Mobile character once used to be human. Experimented upon by Hammond Robotics, Revenant became a shell of his former shell, transforming into a robot. Now more than two centuries later, the company that did this to him is back, and Revenant is on a path of vengeance. He will not stop until Hammond Robotics is rubble. The Apex Games? Well, that’s just a good pastime.
Revenant is a deadly assault legend capable of causing intense damage while being sneaky and helpful. Use this robotic warrior in Apex Legends Mobile if that specific mix applies to your game style.
- Passive Ability: Stalker – Grants the ability to crouch-walk faster and climb higher than other Apex Legends Mobile characters.
- Tactical Ability: Silence – Revenant throws a device that can deal damage and disable enemy abilities for up to 15 seconds.
