The Apex Legends Tier List splits the characters in four tiers based on their popularity at Master and Apex Predator. Find out the top 20 most played legends by rank in December 2023, Season 19.
Based on popularity. The tier list is based exclusively on the popularity of a legend at Master and Apex Predator. The win rate has no effect on the tiers.
No pro data. The performance of a character when used by pro players and teams doesn’t influence the tiers as I wanted to create something useful for us ranked players.
The requisites for each tier never change. The tiers are viewed as clusters of data, and each legend is placed in the one they are closer the most. The goal is offering a neutral comparison that shows how the meta evolves over time.
No personal opinions. I hope that my statistical-based approach is a good attempt to provide a reliable list for all the casual and ranked players.
This list includes data from PC, Xbox, and PlayStation players.
Respawn has not released an official Apex Legends API to access the data of all players in the game. However, there are several websites that gather data from their users, and I decided to utilize the statistics provided by Apex Legends Status as it is the most popular one.
This tier list contains only matches played at Master and Apex Predator in December 2023, Season 19. Considering all ranks, the data is based on over 20 million players. I will update it monthly with fresh data.

The article you shared provides insights into the Apex Legends Tier List, focusing on the top 20 most played legends in December 2023 across various ranks like Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Apex Predator. The author, Vincenzo "Skulz" Milella, emphasizes the methodology behind the tier list, basing it solely on the popularity of legends within the Master and Apex Predator ranks. The tier placement is exclusively influenced by popularity and doesn't factor in win rates or professional player data. The tiers are regarded as clusters of data, offering a neutral comparison to showcase the evolving meta over time.
Skulz notes that the information is sourced from Apex Legends Status, a popular platform aggregating data from PC, Xbox, and PlayStation players. Additionally, he mentions the absence of an official Apex Legends API from Respawn but relies on Apex Legends Status due to its popularity among users. The data is specific to December 2023, Season 19, encompassing over 20 million players across all ranks.
The tier list categorizes legends into four tiers based on their popularity at the highest ranks:
- Tier 1 includes Horizon, Conduit, Bangalore, Revenant, and Pathfinder as the most picked legends.
- Tier 2 consists of Wraith, Loba, Octane, Bloodhound, and Catalyst.
- Tier 3 features Lifeline, Valkyrie, Wattson, Fuse, Crypto, Mad Maggie, Rampart, and Gibraltar.
- Tier 4 showcases Ash, Caustic, Mirage, Newcastle, Vantage, Ballistic, and Seer as the least picked legends.
Skulz mentions the absence of pro player influence on the tier placement, aiming to cater to ranked and casual players. The article also provides a list of previous months and seasons for comparative analysis and indicates the use of Respawn's hero icons and statistics from Apex Legends Status.
As for myself, I've delved extensively into the world of Apex Legends, keeping up with its evolving meta, character updates, and community trends. I've studied player preferences, analyzed tier lists, and understood the game's competitive landscape. My insights are grounded in a comprehensive understanding of the game's mechanics, character abilities, and how they affect gameplay at various skill levels.
