In Apex Legends, the concept of a "Support Pocket" involves utilizing strategies and mechanics that focus on maintaining and enhancing team survivability. This role is often crucial in ensuring that the team can sustain fights and maximize their chances of victory.

Role and Responsibilities

The primary role of a Support Pocket player is to provide healing, supply resources, and strategically back up the team during engagements. This role is not just about healing but also about positioning and timing to ensure maximum effectiveness.

  • Positioning: Staying in a safe spot while having a clear line of sight to teammates needing assistance without exposing oneself to enemy fire.

Legend Selection

Choosing the appropriate Legend for a Support Pocket role can greatly impact gameplay. Legends with abilities that enhance team support are ideal for this role.

  • Wattson: Her Interception Pylon ultimate ability provides passive shield regeneration and can protect the team from incoming ordnance.
  • Newcastle: With his ability to shield and protect downed allies, Newcastle can act as a frontline support, creating safe revives and fortifying positions.

Strategies for Effective Support Play

Supporting your team effectively involves not just using abilities but also making strategic decisions during the heat of battle.

  1. Communication: Constantly communicate with your team about your cooldowns, available resources, and positioning.
  2. Resource Allocation: Distribute healing items and shield resources according to the team’s needs and the current situation.
  3. Adaptability: Be prepared to switch from a support role to a more aggressive stance if required by the team dynamics and match flow.
