About the game
Outside the ring, they’re champions. Inside, they’re equals. Not all fighters are heroes, and each competes for their own reasons. But the goal remains the same—survive, win, and become a Legend. The Squad 1 Expansion introduces 6 new Legends into the roster of Apex Legends: The Board Game. The Toxic Trapper Caustic uses poison traps and gas grenades, creating hazard zones on the battlefield and weakening enemy Legends before closing in for the kill. The Surveillance Expert Crypto utilizes his surveillance drone to scout and loot the area, as well as drain the shields of his enemies with EMP attacks. The Holographic Trickster Mirage uses Hologram decoys to confuse his opponents, shield himself from harm, and conceal his location. The High-speed Daredevil Octane outsmarts other Legends with spectacular stunts and pure speed. The Synthetic Nightmare Revenant uses his Silence Device to prevent his foes from using their abilities, while his Death Totem serves his squadmates in cheating death. The Static Defender Wattson helps out allied Legends by recharging their shields and creating fortified safe zones on the battlefield. —description from the publisher
