Shroud demonstrates \u201chow bad\u201d Revenant is in Apex Legends Season 4 Shroud – YouTube \/ Respawn EntertainmentBack on his Apex Legends grind, Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has come to the conclusion that Season 4\u2019s new Revenant Legend isn\u2019t so great, and he thinks it won\u2019t take too long for most players to realize that as well. Revenant is the new Legend introduced in Apex Legends Season 4 but his ultimate ability, called Death Totem, might not be as powerful as it was hyped up to be. The Death Totem protects teammates from elimination by spawning them back at the location where its placed instead of allowing them to get downed. However, there are some drawbacks put in place to balance out its effect. For one, those who spawn back at the Totem are only given one health to survive with. Also, when under its protection, players can\u2019t use body shields to protect themselves, meaning that they only have 100 total health regardless of whether or not they have armor equipped. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, enemies can sabotage Revenant and his team if they find the ult\u2019s location, either by laying a trap or waiting for easily take down the teammates as soon as they spawn back in with one health. One player who quickly figured this out is shroud, who has been playing a lot of Apex since Season 4 launched, and he demonstrated these major issues with Revenant during one of his recent streams. Shroud: players will learn \u201cthe hard way\u201d about Revenant Playing in a match with Apex pro Matthew \u2018WiKeD\u2019 Robertson and girlfriend Hannah \u2018Bnans\u2019 Kennedy, shroud came across a team using Revenant\u2019s ultimate and was easily able to take them down after realizing that their Death Totem was placed out in the open. \u201cPeople are going realize the hard way how bad Revenant is,\u201d he said, laughing. \u201cEveryone keeps doing it. We did it, everyone\u2019s going to do it. It sounds good in theory and then you do it and you\u2019re like \u2018wait!’\u201d He\u2019s referencing, of course, the temptation to use the Legend\u2019s ult because of how good it sounds on paper, but in practice, it may end up hurting you more than helping. (Segment begins at 8:39 mark for mobile users) After their squad got the match victory, WiKeD gave a brief explanation about how the health aspect of Revenant\u2019s ult makes it not really worth using. \u201cYou have 100 HP each fight, that\u2019s the problem,\u201d he said. \u201cYou sacrifice 200 to have two separate 100s, that\u2019s the issue.\u201d This is definitely true since under the Totem\u2019s protection you can\u2019t use your body armor, meaning you only have your 100 base health. If you get taken out and respawn back in, you now can use your armor\u2019s 100 health\u2019s worth of protection, but you only have 1 base HP under that until you can heal. The early indications are that, while Revenant may seem like a powerful Legend, he just doesn\u2019t offer enough to break into the top-tier of characters, especially in the game\u2019s competitive sphere. However, that\u2019s not to say that the Synthetic Nightmare is totally useless, as there are ways to better use his abilities, which we\u2019ve outlined in our 5 important tips and tricks to mastering Revenant guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
