[@bowmanhann448]

Important tip for Newcastle mains: don’t ask for a gold knockdown Shield every time. A purple knockdown shield has as much health as a gold one, so give it to the noobiest member of your squad if you don’t need it.

[@chaseglasgow2725]

I second that, also people will now know to thirst you extra if you flash a gold during a rez!

[@kabir2077]

To be honest I wouldn't trust the worst member of our squad to clutch up a 1v3 at the same time tho

[@DepartedMurphy]

At this point, he’s the best with gold knockdown so that people wouldn’t get instantly bullet sponged when he uses it in fights

Newcastle is pretty fun to play right now. One of the best legends upon release.

Don't want to see him get nerfed through the ground He's actually balanced like his sister:)

[@themastersword]

nah

[@hedrbohlega2595]

I haven’t tried yet but what’s fun about him, he looks very basic

[@Enraged.]

@@hedrbohlega2595 he’s unintentionally a troll character. You can block people in rooms, you can bait a fight and then just dip with his ult, his entire kit is a lot of fun to play.

[@Stav6]

Fax I also think a legend simply being effective at their role while not being broken makes them fun which he definitely is.

[@kittenchopper4646]

Originally I thought that Newcastle was gonna be worse Gibby, but seeing his gameplay, I have a feeling hes gonna have a place in the meta, maybe even used along with Gibby

[@blackhleproductions1054]

@@bullseye- uh.. dude, do you know what his passive does? It changes based off of Newcastles knockdown shield (if you have a purple one and revive it will be visibly purple)

[@Armetron]

current bug that you can capitalize on, his ult has infinite range when targeting a dead teammates banner. Make sure that the banner is more than 200 meters away since that is the hard coded limit of the ult and will let you keep 75% of your ult while moving you towards the banner

[@David_Franco]

It's not infinite, it stops after enough distance

Fun fact when the knockdown shield needs to recharge after reviving your teammate with Newcastle just drop the knockdown and pick it back up again it's a really good cheese that I recommend to do

[@Oxygen1004]

False, it doesn't update visually iirc, if you hover over it should show 100% in your inventory

[@soulghost9718]

u forgot that his ult shield actually does damage and stun enemies when they touches it. it last for 30 second after the wall is placed.

[@Cardboard_Ukulele]

He’s also pretty well balanced. Any movement tool can easily counter his kit, which also gives a much needed buff to movement based characters

[@luvenpelagius1072]

What do you mean "movement based characters needed a buff"?

[@Cardboard_Ukulele]

@@luvenpelagius1072 take path for example. He was good. Just good. He needed a use other than “funny line go brr” to be great imo. Adding Someone that path can counter I think is a buff

[@luvenpelagius1072]

@@Cardboard_Ukulele yeah but the "much needed buff" part still doesn't make sense. Literally all movement based legends are at the top of the tier lists and are always the most popular. Pathfinder is an exception because his ultimate got a bit outdated compared to other movement characters now and he still doesn't have a real passive.

im not the best at apex legends but your videos help me learn how to play a character I want to try. I watched your catalyst video earlier and I got some good info :) you really make learning this game fun and make it not seem to competitive unlike other KZbinrs I tried to learn from. I love all of your videos and have been a fan for years (3 I believe) and you helped me learn mostly every game I play lol. I wish there was more KZbinrs like you for other topics other than gaming but that would make your content less unique and thats what I like about you, your content is like noting ive ever seen before. its amazing. thank you for everything Macro!
