The Season 30 Marked update reshuffles who is worth dropping in with. Bloodhound has been rebuilt from the ground up, Loba and Rampart picked up meaningful buffs, and a wide loot overhaul makes support and utility abilities more valuable than they were. A few unchanged Legends also stay strong simply because they counter the new tools well.
Quick answer: The five best Legends to pick after the update are Bloodhound, Loba, Rampart, Bangalore, and Fuse.
Bloodhound leads Season 30 with a full rework
Bloodhound receives the biggest change of the update, with every part of the kit rebuilt while keeping the same tracker identity. The full Season 30 patch notes spell out the numbers, but the short version is that Bloodhound is now viable in both ranked and casual play again.
The passive now leaves a red trail near fresh enemy clues, similar to the footsteps from the old Beast of the Hunt ultimate, and clutter has been cut so only traversal and elimination clues remain. White ravens travel up to 400m and can be activated remotely by looking at them for a moment. The tactical runs a full-body scan for 3 seconds, then fires four snapshot scans spaced 1.5 seconds apart, making it much harder for a lone enemy to shake the scan.
The new ultimate, Allfather’s Cloak, deploys a device that cloaks nearby players. The cloaking area lasts 8 seconds, and the cloak itself stays active for 12 seconds after a player leaves it. Cloaked players gain 20% movement speed and threat vision. The cloak breaks on taking damage, firing a weapon, or using most abilities, but Bloodhound can keep using its own abilities without dropping the effect. That turns the ultimate into a strong tool for ambushing squads or escaping a losing fight.
Loba and Rampart: buffed support and defense picks
With high-tier loot spawning less often across every map and gold bags removed, a Legend who can pull specific gear becomes far more useful. Loba fits that gap. On top of her natural value in a tighter loot economy, her abilities were sped up.
| Legend | Change |
|---|---|
| Loba tactical | Bracelet projectile range up ~15%, travel time down ~30%, equip time now 0.6s |
| Loba ultimate | Black Market cooldown reduced to 120s from 150s |
| Loba upgrade | Brand New Bag now grants purple bags, since gold bags no longer spawn |
| Rampart passive | Gains locked hop-up progress 50% faster |
| Rampart tactical | Wall health raised to 600/700/800 (was 400/600/800), amped wall +25, deploys 0.5s faster |
| Rampart ultimate | Sheila lets her move at 104 speed while firing or spinning |
| Rampart upgrade | Combat Reserve now grants stowed reloads |
Rampart’s buffs reward aggressive, push-with-the-squad play. Faster movement while carrying Sheila keeps her mobile during pushes, while tougher, quicker walls let her hold space earlier in a match when EVO levels are still low. Both Legends are strong picks for teams that want to control loot and cover.
Bangalore and Fuse: unchanged counters that still work
Not every strong pick received an update. Bangalore was untouched, yet she remains one of the cleanest answers to Bloodhound. Her smoke blocks scans and threat vision, and Rolling Thunder still deals solid damage against squads trying to reposition. Even with the reworked Bloodhound being a tougher opponent, that toolkit keeps her relevant.
Fuse is the other pick that punishes the freshly buffed Legends. His Knuckle Clusters can chip away at Rampart’s amped walls and destroy Loba’s Black Market beacon from a distance, taking away the cover and loot both rely on. He also carries enough raw firepower to make use of Corrupted Red Attachments even when they come with a downside, so a negative stat trade matters less on his loadout.
The Marked update slows the overall pace and rewards positioning, cover, and smart looting, which is why reworked Bloodhound, the buffed Loba and Rampart, and the steady counters in Bangalore and Fuse all land near the top. Plenty of other Legends stay competitive, but these five give you the most direct answers to the new meta right now.
