Why Is Apex Legends Suddenly Full Of Seers?

thegamer.com:

When Seer was released in Apex Legends Season 10, he was everywhere. He released in such a broken state that every squad – whether you were playing casually or in ranked – had a Seer. That’s pretty rare in Apex Legends as its varied roster is generally pretty balanced (although the likes of Mirage and Mad Maggie have never vied with Wraith or Bloodhound), and he was swiftly nerfed. But the Ambush Artist has had a resurgence in Season 13, despite not receiving any buffs. Why has the Apex community suddenly collectively remembered his qualities?

We have to start with Seer’s kit, which is what makes him such a useful character. His best ability is his Passive, which lets him see the location of opponents within a certain radius. It’s an approximation rather than a proper wallhack like Bloodhound, but it shows you the direction of your opponents at all times. The fact his best ability is his Passive is a boon in itself, as it means he doesn’t have to wait for it to recharge, he can just aim down sights (weapon drawn or not) and spin around, sensing immediate danger and warning his team.

Seer’s Passive also synergises well with his Tactical, which fires a blast of micro drones straight in front of him. This no longer does damage, but it highlights any hit enemies with proper wallhacks for all your squad to see, and interrupts any healing items they are using or revives they are enacting. This works especially well with his Passive, which means you will basically always aim in the right direction. His Ultimate comes in handy too, creating a large sphere of drones that highlight any opponents running or shooting within it. It’s Wallhack Legends, baby.
