Recommended teammates for Crypto in Apex Legends Mobile
Crypto acts like the eagle of a team. His drone is very useful and can replace Bloodhound in certain situations. Let’s see below some compositions of the team:
- Crypto, Wraith, Gibraltar: This highly balanced team can beat any team, if played correctly. Wraith, being the frontline attacker of the team, can be used to move forward or backward at a faster pace. Gibraltar can use his abilities to protect himself and his team from harm, while Crypto can work its way in any direction, depending on their safety.
- Crypto, caustic, octane: Similar to the former but slightly on the aggressive side, this team revolves around Caustic’s toxic traps at close range and Octane’s jumping pad for spins. While Crypto does the same job of identifying the safer side for the team, he can also help the other two legends by using his Ultimate him.
