Valkyrie’s ultimate, Skyward Dive, is one of the most effective ways of repositioning during a game. Think of it as a portable Jump Tower. Due to its utility to her entire squad, many eSports players want to have a Valkyrie player on their team. Recently, one gamer discovered a new tactic that makes that ability even more powerful when paired with Ash.

In a post on Reddit, a user known as iCATxHero shared a video revealing a clever tactic in Apex Legends. They discovered that combining Ash’s Phase Breach ultimate with Valkyrie’s Skyward Dive ultimate allowed their team to travel much further through the air. In the video posted by the Reddit user, they demonstrated how to use the tactic.

The clip started with iCATxHero’s team on the edge of the Fragment location on World’s Edge. In order to pull off the extended flight, the Ash player on the team used their ultimate to phase to the top of one of the tall skyscrapers nearby. After the entire team had taken the portal to the top, all that remained was for the Valkyrie player to activate Skyward Dive and choose a destination on the map. It should be noted that players need to be quick, as the out-of-bounds timer ticks down while on top of these high structures. The remainder of the video showcased how much further the team could fly due to the combo.

This ingenious combo discovered by iCATxHero piqued the interest of numerous members of the Apex Legends community on Reddit. With over 12,200 upvotes in less than a day, many players were amazed at how well the ultimate abilities worked together. Some players noted that this new tactic opened up many new possibilities for rotating on the map.

It’s exciting to see members of the Apex Legends community come up with new and effective tactics. While the example from iCATxHero only showed the combo used on World’s Edge, it is likely to work on other locations among the various maps in Apex Legends. With the prevalence of Valkyrie and Ash in the game already, it will be interesting to see if high-level teams start to use this combo to reposition. In addition, it’s possible that if this combo gains traction in the community, increases in the pick rates for both Ash and Valkyrie could result.
