The name itself signifies how important Legends are in Apex Legends. Likewise, the game has plenty of Legends that players can choose from. Each Legend is unique in the game and comes with distinct abilities and powers. And the best part is every season the developers, Respawn Entertainment, launch a new Legend. Thus players get a new Legend to play with every new season.
The last season, Season 18 introduced the Revenant Reborn rework as a new Legend. The trend of the developers launching new Legends keeps players curious and guessing which new Legend to expect next. As the player’s anticipation for the forthcoming Season 19 continues, so does their curiosity to know about the next Legend.
And it looks like the curiosity may have ended as Respawn Entertainment and EA have finally revealed the Season 19 Legend in Conduit. Fans finally got a first glimpse at Conduit’s appearance and story in her Stories from the Outlands (SFTO) episode, which premiered on October 19, 2023.
Conduit will arrive with the new Apex Legends Season 19 Ignite, which kicks off on Tuesday, October 31, 2023, on the in-game Battle Pass timer. Conduit’s description on EA’s website reads, “A tiny titan of optimism, Conduit proves greatness stems from the heart.” Here’s everything to know about Conduit.
Who is Conduit in Apex Legends?
Not much is known about Conduit’s character, except the fact that she is of Filipino descent and her sister’s name is Rowenna. The character dons a blue and yellow armor that has been crafted from a Titan. It seems like she has gained powers from a Titan battery that she is seen discovering in the Stories from the Outlands trailer.
Her connection to Titans seems quite fitting, especially since Rowenna is said to be associated with Titanfall 2. The trailer included a picture that shows a group message between Conduit and her family, who congratulated her for winning the right to participate in the Apex Games in Tagalog. This reveals her ethnicity, thus becoming the first Filipino legend in the game.
Conduit and her home were saved during the Frontier War by a Monarch Titan when she was a child. The war was piloted by another Filipino, sacrificing themselves by detonating their titan batteries. It caused the destruction of all enemies, while also radiating the surrounding area. While Conduit grew up with her family, they all became fans of the Apex Games. They spent days watching matches together and holding their own mock battles at home.
It is likely that Conduit will join the support or controller class of legends. She will accommodate well alongside Lifeline as a healer legend, which is also something that the game currently lacks. That being said, unlike some Support or Controller legends in the game, Conduit’s abilities may offer some decent solo-play potential.
But this will highly depend on whether she is able to heal herself easily or not. If she can heal herself, she may turn out to be a good adaptable legend with strengths in team play as well as a solo legend. This will particularly be useful if she joins the support class, allowing herself and her teammates to craft expired banners.
Conduit’s abilities in Apex Legends
Although Conduit’s Apex Legends abilities have not been officially announced, there are leaks that suggest her abilities. The abilities are mainly around shields, as she is able to gain a shield herself and give allies shields too.
- Passive – Capacitance
She gains a 40-percent speed boost when out of range enabling her to use her tactical ability on her teammates
- Tactical – Arc Flash
Her Arc Flash tactical ability can regenerate teammates’ 25 shield health. In addition, she comes with multiple charges available.

- Ultimate – Alternating Current
There is not much information known about Conduit’s Ultimate ability, except that she has “unbreakable Wattson fences.” This could possibly be a benefit for the team if someone is using Wattson, by enhancing the effectiveness of Wattson’s fences.
Players must remember that these abilities are just leaks and thus must be taken with a grain of salt. Conduit’s actual abilities may differ when the new season actually releases. The upcoming season 19 is titled Ignite and a trailer of the same will be launched on October 23, 2023.
