Vantage in Apex Legends

Season 19 of Apex Legends is behind us, but that doesn’t stop new stats from sharing this startling fact on which Legend “reigned” supreme in kills.

Apex Legends‘ Season 19 certainly felt like a long one for players, although highlights such as the Post Malone event softened the experience for many.

With Season 20 here there’s a lot to look forward to, including reworks to Ranked, a complete overhaul to the Legends and armor systems, and much more.

Now that Season 19 is behind us, a new stat reveals a startling fact on which Legend dominated the game, and it’s one that not many would’ve guessed.

Apex Legends Season 19 Legend skills reveal Vantage on top

Apex Tracker shared a look at how the Legends stacked up in Season 19. Titled “Most BR Kills Per Legend,” Vantage shockingly led the way by a large margin with 52,164 kills during the season. Meanwhile, Fuse sat at the bottom with 7,023 kills.

For clarity, this stat counts the most kills by one player using said Legend, not by the entire community, and only consists of players who had seasonal trackers equipped. That said, the owner of this record belongs to content creator Bear22345.

The news made it to the Apex Legends subreddit, and it caught many by surprise. “With how many people actually play Vantage…I don’t believe this for a second,” one player remarked. They later realized it was possible, provided Bear earned a measly 600 kills a day.

However, some Vantage players found refuge and validity in their main’s performance. “As a Vantage main, this feels validating,” one player said. One other replied: “Warms my heart, I main Valk and Vantage.”

Another said: “I’m a Vantage main, and I’ve been saying this all season that Vantage is super underrated. Vantage, clearly a superior legend.” They went on to elaborate on the pros of the sniper turned Apex Games contestant, such as her dominance of medium-to-long-range encounters.

Season 20 just started, and with the content shake-up, it’ll be interesting to see how this narrative changes come season end.
