The most used Legends in Apex Legends Season 26

Ash is still the queen of Apex, but she’s no longer untouchable. After peaking at 25.7% in Season 24, she’s dropped to a stable 19.9% in Season 25 and 19.8% in Season 26. That’s still meta-defining, as the gap between her and the rest remains wide. Caustic, Bangalore, and the newest Legend – Sparrow – are the next in line, all three sitting above 8% but not even near 10%.

Sparrow’s debut was huge. Sitting at 8.1% just weeks into the season and settling in August, he’s already one of the most picked Legends in the game. That’s rare for a launch character, and it shows just how much players are vibing with his kit. Fast-paced, aggressive, and built for duels, he fits the current meta perfectly.

On the other hand, some big names have dropped hard. Revenant went from a stable 10% to a mere 4.7%, while Pathfinder went from 8.6% to 5.1%

Vantage is also down from her prior highs, and Horizon’s fall continues. From 2.5% to 1.5%, it’s her lowest in a while. The one-time movement queen just can’t keep up with the newer, more versatile picks.
