Are we going to see an Apex Legends TV show soon?
One of the most exciting news in these Eternal Return patch notes is Mai, a new playable character. Mai is a fashionista, designer and CEO.
Mai uses her stylish, long shawl as a weapon or shield in battle. She whips it with Drape to deal damage, and she also protects herself using Shawl Veil. Haute Couture is Mai’s main attack. The pincushion at the wrist of the designer gains and loses pins during battles. Leveling Haute Couture will increase the number of pins she can hold. The Shawl Veil or Drape will add a pin to your combat, and the pins will reset after you exit.
