Use the tips and tricks in our Apex Legends Loba guide to become a better Loba player.

There’s no better way to practice those moves than using Zleague.gg to team up with players within your same skill level.

Bracelet Initiation

Even though Loba is a support player, there’s no reason for her not to be aggressive. One of the best ways to be aggressive as an Apex Legends Loba player is by using your bracelet to teleport behind enemy lines.

This is a quick and sneaky way to catch your enemies off-guard and get a kill or two. Of course, make sure not to wander too far off. You’ll still need your team to back you up. The best time to initiate using the bracelet is when you are pushing an enemy squad so that you’ll know your team will be right behind you.

High Ground Teleports

Another creative way to use your bracelet as an Apex Legends Loba player is by using it to secure high ground. This allows you to scout ahead or take advantage of powerful snipers like the Kraber.

Unfortunately, your bracelet can’t reach too high up. If you’re short a couple of inches, you might want to try jumping before throwing your bracelet.

Trying new things in tournaments with people from the same skill level as yours is one of the best ways to get better. Luckily, you can use Zleague.gg to host your own tournaments, join tournaments, and much more.

Now You See Me, Now You Don’t

Loba can also use her bracelet to quickly get out of sticky situations. She can throw her bracelet through small gaps like windows or doors to quickly teleport to the other side. This makes it insanely difficult for enemies to follow her, and you’re pretty much guaranteed an easy escape.

Just make sure that you aim correctly and that the bracelet actually goes through the gap.

Momentum Before Teleporting

Whenever Loba teleports to her bracelet, she drastically slows down. This can throw you off for a bit. To counter this, most Apex Legends Loba players try to slide-crouch or wall-jump first before teleporting.

This allows you to keep your momentum once you teleport and get you back and running in no time. It’s also a great way to get some extra distance from any enemies that might be chasing you after you TP.

Zipline Redirection

This next one is a simple trick for our Apex Legends Loba players out there. You can throw and use your tactical while using a zipline. This can be an excellent trick to perform outplays, escape enemies, or simply go from one place to the other quickly.

Now I know someone like Vantage can also pull off a similar trick. However, it isn’t as powerful as Loba’s because Vantage still needs to jump off, unlike Loba, who can just use it mid-zipline. 

The Black Market Boutique is Now Closed

A simple yet effective tip to better use your Black Market Boutique ultimate is to use it to block doors. Simply placing it right in front of a door will make it hard for enemies to enter. They’ll have to brute force their way in by destroying the door and your ult.

This is an excellent way to buy some extra time to heal up or run away. Most people aren’t going to expect it. Heck, even most Apex Legends Loba players probably don’t know this trick.

Ping Those Items

The final tip we have for you is to simply ping those Epic and Legendary items. Only Loba can spot these items through walls and containers. It’ll be a great time saver for your team if you can ping these items. This also ensures that no valuable items are left inside unopened crates.
