    Apex Legends Beginner's Guide: Top 5 Most Important Settings | PLANET9

    This guide was written by our Apex Legends partner WiseWidy and translated by Elisha Liu.

    Hello everyone, my name is WiseWidy. When people download a new game, they usually start playing it without figuring out the settings and feel that the controls and gameplay are anti-ergonomics, thus ruining the game experience. Only after going through the settings players realize how it could be adjusted to elevate the game experience. Therefore, I'll be sharing 5 common settings Apex players should optimize in this article.

    No. 1: Turn Off "Taking Damage Closes Deathbox or Crafting Menu"

    You must turn this setting off to swap body shields without being interrupted during fights. Once the swap is done you basically gain a second life, and it'll grant you the chance to come back from dire situations with a broken shield to winning encounters. A perfect example of this would be Roieee clutching and winning the ALGS APAC South Playoffs for his team DreamFire using this technique. See video below:

    Apex Legends Esports Season 15 Meta Analysis | PLANET9 x Newer Esports Apex Legends WES Episode 1

    The play-in stage and qualifier stage of the Newer Esports x PLANET9 Apex Legends World Elite Community Series EP.1 - Break The Ice has ended. We believe everyone has known more about the new changes of season 15, especially for the team comp. And here we will be talking and analyzing the new tournament meta of Apex Legends.

    The legend of Valkyrie is still continuing

    As many players and coaches have pointed out, the takeoff of Valkyrie gives teams a very strong rotate ability, no matter how many times the dev has nerfed it. In particular, the changes to the closing lap in these seasons have forced teams to enter early. This change allows teams with Valkyrie to have a greater say in the turn, and they can choose to enter early and look for resources later in the circle or look for resources first on the edge of the circle. This reduces the dependence on the luck of closing laps and gives them more control over the map.

    Crypto + Valkyrie + Wattson

    Step 1: Quit spazzing out of bushes

    Stop blowing your whole kit as soon as you walk into the lane. Stop using your gap closer to jump out of the bush. Stop using your CC ability to yell "SURPRISE MOTHERF*CKER" out of the bush. You will get WAY more value out of your gank if you simply just walk at the enemy menacingly and wait to see how they react. Just walk up to them like you're about some sh*t. Hit them with a few auto attacks to let them know you mean business. Then, when THEY flash -- you use your gap closer and
