Updated November 4, 2026 for Apex Legends Season 31. No ranking of the current period is out yet, so these tiers are set from win rates (apexlegendsstatus.com's count of the top Apex Predators' games, read 2026-11-03) and change as they move.

Loba is the most played legend in the top Apex Predator ranked games this season, picked in 23.8% of their games. This Apex Legends tier list is set from those numbers: the count covers the top 100 Apex Predators on each platform, read on 2026-11-03, and each legend's tier comes from its win rate against the average of 49.7%.

S Tier

These four legends all win more than three points above the average win rate in the top Predator games.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie is picked in 0.9% of their games and wins 56.3% of them. Valkyrie was among the most picked legends earlier in 2026.

Vantage

Vantage is picked in 4.8% of their games and wins 53.8% of them. Its tier rests on that win rate, the highest among the legends with a large share of games after Valkyrie and Crypto.

Loba

Loba is picked in 23.8% of their games and wins 52.9% of them. Season 31 lengthened her Tactical cooldown to 30 seconds from 25, and her Ultimate to 150 seconds from 120, which undoes the shorter cooldowns of the earlier buff.

A Tier

These six legends win between one and three points above the average win rate in the top Predator games, except Crypto, which wins more but is held at A.

Crypto

Crypto wins 56.5% of his games, the highest win rate in the count, but he is picked in only 0.7% of them. He was held at this tier because his share is too small to place him higher. Season 31 reworked his drone to run on a 25-second battery, recall in 6 seconds, and mark enemies for 8 seconds.

Caustic

Caustic is picked in 0.7% of their games and wins 52.4% of them. A Season 31 fix let his Nox Gas Traps be placed properly at Somers University.

Sparrow

Sparrow is picked in 0.8% of their games and wins 52.1% of them. Sparrow's tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

Revenant

Revenant is picked in 6.5% of their games and wins 51.6% of them. Season 31 shortened his Tactical cooldown to 15 seconds from 20, and his Ultimate to 150 seconds from 180.

Seer

Seer is picked in 6.0% of their games and wins 51.5% of them. Seer was among the most picked legends earlier in 2026.

Lifeline

Lifeline is picked in 0.5% of their games and wins 50.9% of them. Season 31 cut her Tactical cooldown from 25 to 15 seconds and let D.O.C. heal her while she glides.

These five legends win within one point of the average win rate in the top Predator games.

Octane

Octane is picked in 8.2% of their games and wins 50.5% of them. Its tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

Axle

Axle is picked in 10.5% of their games and wins 49.4% of them. An October 1 hotfix cut her slide control by 50% and her drone's chase time from 10 to 8 seconds.

Rampart

Rampart is picked in 0.2% of their games and wins 49.3% of them. Season 30 included buffs for Rampart.

Mirage

Mirage is picked in 0.4% of their games and wins 49.2% of them. A Season 31 fix stopped his decoys from floating in place when deployed during skydiving.

Alter

Alter is picked in 3.5% of their games and wins 49.0% of them. Season 31 included several bug fixes for Alter.

C Tier

These seven legends win one to three points below the average win rate in the top Predator games.

Gibraltar

Gibraltar is picked in 3.3% of their games and wins 48.5% of them. Its tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

Conduit

Conduit is picked in 1.4% of their games and wins 48.4% of them. Following her Season 29 adjustments, Conduit ranked as the legend chosen most often.

Wattson

Wattson is picked in 0.2% of their games and wins 48.3% of them. Its tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

Catalyst

Catalyst is picked in 1.2% of their games and wins 48.2% of them. Its tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

Horizon

Horizon is picked in 2.1% of their games and wins 48.2% of them. Its tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

Mad Maggie

Mad Maggie is picked in 3.9% of their games and wins 48.2% of them. Season 31 fixed her missing speed boost from the Corrupted Agile Stock.

Bloodhound

Bloodhound is picked in 0.2% of their games and wins 47.0% of them. Bloodhound was reworked at the start of Season 30.

D Tier

These five legends win more than three points below the average win rate in the top Predator games.

Wraith

Wraith is picked in 0.7% of their games and wins 46.3% of them. Season 31's ban system gives a legend a chance of being banned equal to its share of requests, using Wraith as the example at 80%.

Bangalore

Bangalore is picked in 2.2% of their games and wins 46.0% of them. Its tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

Newcastle

Newcastle is picked in 0.4% of their games and wins 46.0% of them. Its tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

Fuse

Fuse is picked in 0.3% of their games and wins 44.8% of them. Its tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

Ash

Ash is picked in 0.2% of their games and wins 43.8% of them, the lowest win rate in the count. Its tier rests on that win rate alone in this count.

How These Tiers Were Set

No ranking of the current period was out, so the tiers were set from win rates alone. Each legend's win rate is compared with the average of 49.7%: S is 3 points or more above, A is 1 to 3 points above, B is within 1 point, C is 1 to 3 points below, and D is more than 3 below. A legend chosen at under one-quarter of the rate of an even split (3.6%) is rated A at most, which kept Crypto at A. Ballistic has too few games to place, so it has no tier.

A win rate counts only the top 100 Apex Predators of each platform, so these tiers show what the very best play and win with, not what every lobby sees. The table lists the ten most played legends.

Biggest Changes This Season

Season 31, Cipher, began on November 3, 2026. Diamond and higher ranked matches now ban two legends, with each player requesting one. Lifeline's Tactical and Revenant's Tactical and Ultimate were cut in cooldown, while Crypto's rework and Loba's longer cooldowns also took effect.
