Upgrades let you revolutionise a legend completely by choosing a perk that enhances a Legend's kit by either adding something completely different or adding a twist to a certain part of their kit.

8. Ash - One Minute To Live (Good)

"Ash: Unleashing victory with every step"

One Minute To Live is a level two perk that makes it so when Ash uses her passive it tracks enemy positions on the map for 60 seconds. This perk revolutionises Ash as without the perk Ash doesn’t track the enemies for too long, therefore making this perk a game changer in a coordinated team.

What’s Great About One Minute To Live:

• One Minute To Live provides Ash with crucial enemy position intel, aiding strategic advances and engagements

• Strong in the early and mid game stages

• Mixing this perk and the other part of her passive what lets her see deathboxes on the map can lead to high kill games

5. Mad Maggie - Fire Ball (Excellent)

"Mad Maggie: madness reigns supreme"

Fire Ball is a level two perk which makes Mad Maggie’s ultimate, Wrecking Ball into a Fire Ball. This perk is a game changer as it makes her ultimate even more deadly.

What’s Great About Fire Ball:

• On top of the disorienting effect and the decent damage the Wrecking Ball does, with Fire Ball it also does burn damage when it explodes resulting in a huge advantage for Mad Maggie and her team to capitalise off

• her ultimate can be used defensively to block area’s off due to the flames it leaves on the ground 

• The perk increases the offensive capabilities of the Wrecking Ball leading to more opportunities to secure kills

4. Revenant - Reduced Ultimate Cooldown (Excellent)

"Revenant: Unleashing Terror"

Reduced Ultimate Cooldown is a level 2 perk which takes 30 seconds off the cooldown of Revenant’s ultimate. This perk revolutionises Revenant as it lets him get his ultimate back faster.

What’s Great About Split Circuit:

• Wattson being able to cover more area with her ultimate ensures that any ability or projectile fired within its area of effect will be neutralised, this includes some ultimates 

• Since Wattson can carry more ultimate accelerants and instantly get her ultimate from them, being able to use them faster revolutionises Wattson as she can then keep placing down her ultimate when one stops healing her and her team giving them a huge advantage

1. Lifeline - Last Stand (Best)

"Lifeline: a beacon of aid"

Last Stand is a level 3 perk which allows Lifeline to self revive herself. This perk gives lifeline an ace up her sleeve as it allows her to revive herself and then continue supporting her team.
