Learn how to use Wraith’s abilities to win more fights

Wraith is one of the hardest Legends to pin down. She’s remained one of the most popular and powerful heroes in the game since it launched, consistently remaining a top tier pick. Her ability to get in and out of fights and move her team around the map means she has both very strong abilities and team benefits. That’s a rarity in a Legend and why it’s worth getting your head around her.

OurApex Legends Wraith guidewill walk you through everything you need to know to start racking up kills with the Interdimensional Skirmisher herself.

Apex Legends Wraith abilities

Wraith has access to three fairly powerful abilities:Voices from the Void (Passive),Into the Void (Tactical), andDimensional Rift (Ultimate). This kit combines to make Wraith one of the most slippery customers inApex Legends, with the ability to get out of trouble and reposition almost instantly. She is classed as an Offensive Legend alongsideOctane,Bangalore,Mirage,Revenant,HorizonandFuse.

Wraith has an extremely versatile set of abilities, helping her both leave and engage in equally nightmarish ways. Opponents will have a hard time getting solid info on your whereabouts, as her elusive nature makes her extremely unpredictable to go up against. If you love the idea of outsmarting your opponents with key rotations, Wraith is for you. Once she is found out and can be easily tracked, she can become quite killable though. The counter to that: be evasive and slip through your opponent’s hands.

Wraith tips and tricks

Wraith is most powerful when your opponents don’t have a bead on you. Being surprising and unpredictable is where her power lies, but also her ability to get out of terrible situations. However, if you become predictable, your abilities will only go so far, as players can read your intentions and movement to counter your attempts to get out. Here are some general tips to make sure you come out on top in most situations.

Wraith Passive Tips: Voices from the Void

Description: A voice warns you when danger approaches.

Wraith’s passive ability is one of the weaker parts of her kit, but don’t underestimate it. The voice telling you you are being aimed at can make a huge difference to you getting caught out. These heads-up shouts give you a couple of seconds to prepare for any incoming action. In a game where information is key, these call-outs are extremely helpful in making sure you aren’t about to be ambushed.

Wraith Tactical tips: Into the Void

Description: Reposition quickly through the safety of void space, avoiding all damage. Cooldown: 25 seconds

Into the Void is an exceptionally versatile ability and is iconic to her kit. This ability essentially phases Wraith out of existence, making her untouchable to damage as well as abilities. The ability takes 1.25 seconds to activate, but once it does she has 4 seconds in the void, where you will be completely safe and move 30% faster.

This ability is the key to Wraith’s elusiveness, giving her the ability to reposition in surprising and advantageous ways. If a fight doesn’t favour her, she can use Into the Void to try and make it a more favourable fight.

Wraith Ultimate tips: Dimensional Rift

Description: Link two locations with portals for 60 seconds, allowing your entire team to use them.

Wraith’s Ultimate Dimensional Rift is one of the most unique abilities in the game and the best for getting a team around. When using the ability, Wraith places a portal and then runs, creating a bridge. She can place the final destination she wants, but it will be placed automatically after she has run around 75 meters. Once both portals are placed, anyone can use the portal to move between the two locations. That includes enemies.

While placing the portal, Wraith is completely unable to use weapons or items. She does however receive a 25% speed boost and can use Into the Void for extra evasion.

Apex Legends Wraith Backstory

This leads to the interdimensional Wraith sacrificing herself and giving the other Wraith her own device to travel through the dimensions. The newer Wraith then escaped the facility, which was located underneath King’s Canyon. She now fights in the Apex Games to get more answers about her past and her abilities.

If all those versions of Wraith were a little confusing, don’t worry. Above is a short video where you can see all this play out.

That’s pretty much everything we’ve got on Wraith for now, so hopefully you’ve learned a thing or two about how best to utilise her skills. For information on all the other Legends, check out ourApex Legends charactersguide.
