Legend Finisher

In Apex Legends, a Legend Finisher is a unique melee execution move that a player can use on a downed opponent. Finishers are not just a stylish way to eliminate enemies; they also serve a tactical purpose in the game.

How to Execute a Legend Finisher

To perform a Legend Finisher in Apex Legends, players must approach a downed enemy and press the designated finisher button when prompted. This button varies depending on your gaming platform:

  • PC: Press the E key
  • PlayStation: Press the Square button
  • Xbox: Press the X button

Executing a finisher leaves you vulnerable for a few seconds, so it's essential to ensure the area is clear of other threats.

Benefits of Using a Legend Finisher

  • Ammo Conservation: Finishers allow you to eliminate enemies without using any ammunition, which can be crucial in tight situations.
  • Shield Recharge: Completing a finisher successfully will fully recharge your shields, providing a significant advantage during extended engagements.

Strategies for Effective Use

While they offer benefits, using a Legend Finisher requires strategic consideration:

  1. Evaluate the Environment: Ensure the area is clear of enemies before starting a finisher, as you are vulnerable during the animation.
  2. Team Communication: Coordinate with your team to cover you while executing a finisher, preventing interruptions from enemy teammates.
  3. Use as a Distraction: Sometimes, initiating a finisher can distract the enemy team, giving your teammates an opening to attack.
