Here\u2019s every buff and nerf for Legends in Season 14. Respawn Entertainment had their hands full implementing meaningful changes in Season 14 that will see everything from quality of life improvements for various abilities to altering how some tacticals interact with everyone else. The Hunted update brought a fair amount of changes \u2013 and a battle pass \u2013 that\u2019s sure to make some players happy, namely those who play certain Legends like Mirage, Mad Maggie, and Newcastle. Valkyrie cools her jets The new Hunted patch update saw the high-flying Valkyrie get a bit nerfed when it comes to activating her VTOL Jets and Skyward Dive. Even her Missile Swarm got reigned in a bit with its decreased explosion radius and a slightly slower move duration. Valkyrie has been a staple in competitive and casual Apex matches, so this might be Respawn\u2019s way of keeping her power status in check for Season 14. Mirage decoys get beefier The Season 14 Apex patch saw Mirage\u2019s decoys become a lot more potent in one crucial way: it can now fool some of the Scan meta\u2019s worst offenders. Now Mirage\u2019s Decoys can be scanned by Valkyrie\u2019s skydive and Seer\u2019s Heart Seeker. This only expands the ability\u2019s usage and could be a great way for Mirage players to have some fun against two of Apex Legends\u2019 most popular picks. Take a look at all the Apex Legends Season 14 patch notes for Legends buffs and nerfs down below, courtesy of Respawn.
