Apex Legends is giving players a limited time Duos mode. Here are some ideas for character combos that make up a strong two-person team. via: Respawn Entertainment In response to fan demand, is giving its players a Duos Mode, though only for a limited time. But not all pairs are equal. Like peanut butter and jelly or chicken and waffles, sometimes two very different things complement one another in an amazing way.

Octane and Wraith
This is a solid combo for the team that plans to get sweaty. Both characters have abilities that allow them to reposition very quickly and dodge income bullets. Further, Octane’s health regeneration allows him to take some damage from the storm or distant sniper fire while Wraith’s phase ability can help her temporarily avoid damage completely in both of these situations. Together, Octane’s speed and jump pad and Wraith’s portal allow the characters to quickly move around the map, dodging enemies and finding sneaky ways to attack their opponents as a pair. via: Respawn Entertainment

Pathfinder and Crypto
The magic of this duo is that Crypto’s abilities are most useful if used while he’s hidden. His drone allows him to see over distances while he remains stationary. On the other hand, Pathfinder excels in getting around the map quickly. So, if Crypto uses his drone to spot another team in a building nearby, a Pathfinder can zipline them both to the top of that building quickly before the opposing team has a chance to gather their bearing and assert a defense. With the high ground advantage, the Pathfinder and Crypto team can then take the fight. via: Respawn Entertainment
Wraith and Caustic
Another take on the offensive/defensive pairing, Wraith and Caustic are a surprisingly strong combo for those who know how to properly play these characters. There's a myriad of ways in which players can exercise 200 IQ strategies involving these characters. For example, a Wraith can place portals in storm zones, tricking lagging players to taking them right into Caustic traps. The Wraith can also set portals up in tricky locations such as caves or in multi-level buildings, placing gas at each side of the entrance and the exit and making it tough for opponents to move without getting gassed. The gas not only hinders visibility and damages enemies, but it slows them down. This gives the Caustic and Wraith team an easy opportunity to outplay their opponents. via: Respawn Entertainment
Mirage and Pathfinder
From a tactical standpoint, Mirage is effective at causing distractions. If a Mirage can successfully capture the attention of an opposing duo, the Pathfinder can grapple over to the team and get them while they're not paying attention to him. And, if done especially well, Mirage can then use his decoy escape to push the unwitting team from another direction, resulting in a strong push strategy.
