Summary
SomeApex Legendsplayers have become frustrated with squads running Revenant and Conduit in the battle royale. While Season 20 ofApex Legendshas been well-received in many respects, the community believes that some of the game’s Legends are overpowered, especially when used together.
As a team-based game featuring characters with role-specific abilities, finding the right team composition can often be a pivotal factor between winning and losingcompetitive games inApex Legends. With a roster containing 25 different Legends, the opportunities to synergize with teammates are immense. However, some combos are better than others, and one of these pairings that has become frequently used is Revenant and Conduit.
In a post on Reddit, a user known as artmorte pointed out what they thought were the problems with Revevant in Season 20. According to the user, his movement ability and Ultimate, which gives him an overshield, are too powerful in the current meta. While the post received hundreds of upvotes, some users in the comments went further, noting they believed that the issues with Revenant were compounded by Conduit. By using these characters together, a Revenant player could push with their Ultimate, gaining 75 more HP, and then receive additional shield generation from Conduit’s Tactical if they take damage.
In addition, players noted that this combo felt even more powerful early in the game with the changes to theEVO Shield system inApex Legends. With body armor now removed from floor loot, players no longer can get blue and purple shields early on, giving a Revenant in Ultimate form a distinct advantage.
While Season 20 has been problematic for some due to Conduit and Revenant, it is worth noting that Respawn Entertainment has faced challenges balancing these Legends since their respective releases. For example, Conduit already received multiple changes at the start of Season 20 to attempt to balance her kit, such as a decrease in shield generation rate and an increase in cooldown time, along with nerfs to her Ultimate. Furthermore, Revenant was hit with nerfs in the time following hisrework in Season 18 ofApex Legends. Despite these past changes, many in the community believe that more needs to be done to balance the Legends.

Unfortunately, players will likely continue to run into these characters frequently inApex Legendsuntil Respawn Entertainment makes changes. Revenant and Conduit currently have pick rates in the top half of all Legends, according to theApex Legends Status database. However, Respawn Entertainment has already released severalpatches forApex Legendsin Season 20, meaning Revenant and Conduit could be addressed in the future based on player feedback.
