Wraith is a pretty interesting character with her ability to enter an alternate reality and pop up back into reality. She can sense when she’s being targeted by an enemy, and her ultimate ability allows for some unique plays by spawning a portal that you can bounce back and forth through.

Wraith Character Information
“There’s a thin line between life and death. You’ll find me there.”
Interdimensional Skirmisher
Wraith is a whirlwind fighter, able to execute swift and deadly attacks and manipulate spacetime by opening rifts in the fabric of reality — but she has no idea how she got that way. Years ago, she woke up in an IMC Detention Facility for the Mentally Ill with no memory of her life before. She also began hearing a distant voice whispering in her mind that would keep her awake for days on end. Despite nearly driving her insane, once she started to listen and trust it, the voice helped her harness her newfound power of void manipulation and escape the facility.
Determined to uncover her true identity, Wraith began a quest to find out more about the experiments. Many of the old research facilities, however, are buried beneath heavily guarded arenas used for the Apex Games. Now Wraith has joined the competition, and with every match she gets closer to the truth.

Wraith’s Heirloom Set
Wraith is currently the only Legend that has an available Heirloom. What is an Heirloom? It is a specific bonus set that is available that has a super rare possibility of appearing in an Apex Pack. Heirloom Sets do not consume a full pack, you get it as a bonus. This set can’t be crafted with Crafting Metals, and can only be found in packs. Here’s the official information from the Apex Legends FAQ:
Apex Legends currently has one bonus Heirloom Set available, which contains three items for Wraith. When a player opens an Apex Pack, there is a <1% probability of an Heirloom Set dropping. Heirloom Set drops do not deduct an Apex Pack from your inventory. Heirloom Sets cannot be crafted with Crafting Metals. A player cannot open more than 500 Apex Packs without receiving an Heirloom set (assuming the player does not own all of the available Heirloom Sets). Once a player owns all of the Heirloom Sets, the player will not be eligible for this bonus until more Heirloom Sets are added to the game.

You receive a unique Banner Pose, Melee Weapon Skin, and Intro Quip in the set.
Wraith Abilities
Tactical Ability: Into the Void
Reposition quickly through the safety of void space, avoiding all damage.
This is a solid flanking ability and allows you to escape in certain situations. The problem with this ability is that it’s really obvious where you are headed and unless you get cover from a teammate, your enemy can just wait for you to appear and take you out. So, if you are trying to escape, make sure you head towards teammates or be ready to fight the second you come out of the void. You can’t fire your weapons while phasing, so be ready once it ends. There’s also the issue of not being able to see enemies while phased, so while you might have an idea where they are when you enter the void, they could have easily moved by the time you exit it. Your teammates can help relay to you where they are with pings or verbal communication.
Passive Ability: Voices from the Void
A voice warns you when danger approaches. As far as you can tell, it’s on your side.
Now this is an okay ability, but it’s not great. If an enemy is either looking at you or has their sights set on you, then you will get a verbal cue like “you are being looked at” that will alert you. This is not bad when you haven’t yet engaged with an enemy, but overall it’s not super helpful when you are in the heat of battle and you are already very aware that you are being targeted. It’s also pretty good if someone is scoping you with a sniper rifle, and you can then get behind cover quickly. It’s also a better ability if you have comms with your teammates, because it’s harder to alert them with just the ping system if you are being aimed at.
Ultimate Ability: Dimensional Rift
Link two locations with portals for 60 seconds, allowing your entire team to use them.
The Ultimate Ability is where Wraith really gets interesting. Now, you can absolutely be shot while trying to place these portals, so if you are in the midst of a firefight then it’s not that great of an ability. Where this skill is actually good is justpriorto a battle. You can either setup a portal on the high ground so you can jump in and out of a battle, or you can flank to the side of your enemy and place the portal so your teammates can jump in it and attack.
This portal can be placed pretty far from where you start, so try to stay behind cover or not in the open as much as possible. The other thing of note to understand is that anyone can take your rift, that obviously includes enemies! This can be good or bad depending on the situation.
