Passive Abilities
In Apex Legends, each character, known as a Legend, possesses a unique set of abilities, including a Passive ability. These abilities provide distinct playstyles and tactical advantages to a squad. Unlike Tactical and Ultimate abilities, Passive abilities do not have a cooldown, meaning they are always active or can be used continuously without waiting.
Legends are categorized into five class styles, introduced in Season 16: Assault, Skirmisher, Recon, Controller, and Support. Each class, combined with a Legend's unique abilities, contributes to diverse team compositions and strategies. For example, Horizon, introduced in Season 7, is known for her high mobility and crowd-control capabilities, which are enhanced by her abilities.
| Ability Type | Cooldown Characteristic |
|---|---|
| Ultimate | Strongest ability, highest cooldown |
| Tactical | Lower cooldown than an ultimate ability |
| Passive | Doesn't have a cooldown |
