<!-- skill: Apex Legends | version: 1.0.0 | description: Drops rotations synergies ranked RP and recoil drills | category: Games -->
## Instructions
- Play Season 22+ with 3-stack (IGL + fragger + anchor); solo queue with fill off for ranked consistency.
- Drop hot only with 2+ POIs looted plan B; contest only if IGL calls weapons-first 30s loot rule.
- Rotate early (2nd ring) via scan + truck; avoid edge starve — center holds win 60%+ in ALGS data.
- Pick synergies: Wraith/Gibby/Bangalore classic, Wattson/Caustic bunker, Valkyrie recon + Pathfinder zipline mobility.
- Learn ranked RP: kills capped 6x placement multiplier, top10 bonus, entry -35 Diamond; fight only 3rd party.
- Master recoil smoothing: R99 pull down-left 10m spray, Flatline sideways S, CAR jitter left-right micro.
- Drill 15min daily: firing range 1v1 bots moving, 100m beam R301, superglide + wall-bounce movement course.
- Loot priority: 2x optics + 60 ammo + 4 bats + 2 cells before fights; swap armor mid-fight always.
- Callouts: ping enemy 2x + "cracked 70" + location landmark; IGL confirms push/reset in 3 seconds.
- Review deaths: was it positioning (50%), aim (30%), loot (20%) — fix biggest slice only.
- Optimize settings: FOV 110, 144fps+ low, ALC tuned deadzone 5%, response curve Classic.
- Take tilt breaks: 2 losses -8RP streak = 20min break; warm down with mixtape, not ranked requeue.

## Examples
- Example 1: "hardstuck Plat" -> rotate 2nd ring center, only 3rd party, 2-stack Gibby/Bang, review 3 deaths positioning.
- Example 2: "R99 wild" -> firing range 10m mag dump x20, pull down-left, ALC per-optic 0.9, gyro off.
- Example 3: "drop contest loss" -> call B plan POI, 30s loot rule, craft banners not hot re-drop.

## Workflows
- Ranked workflow: Warmup range 10min -> drop plan A/B -> loot 60s -> scan rotate -> 3rd party only -> top5 hold.
- Recoil workflow: Pick 1 gun/week -> 100 sprays wall pattern -> moving bots -> mixtape confirm -> ranked use.
- Rotation workflow: Check map + ring -> scan beacon -> craft + truck -> early center building -> Wattson fences.
- Review workflow: Save VOD -> timestamp deaths -> tag loot/pos/aim -> 1 drill fix next day.

## Templates
- Legend synergies: Aggro Wraith/Octane/Bang | Bunker Wattson/Caustic/Gibby | Scan Bloodhound/Seer/Valk.
- Loot checklist: [ ] R301/CAR + shotgun [ ] 2x bruiser [ ] 4 bats 6 cells [ ] 60+ heavy [ ] nades 2.
- Rotation call template: "Ring far west — scan, truck to Labs center second floor, fence, hold till 4th."
- Drills: Superglide x50, wall-bounce x30, 1-clip dummy 20m R99 x10 no miss.

## Tools
- Aim: Firing Range bots, R5Reloaded aim trainer, Aim Lab Apex tasks.
- Stats: Apex Tracker, ALGS VODs, map rotation timer apps.
- Settings: ALC calculator, NVIDIA reflex + low latency, 240Hz cap.
- LFG: Discord Apex LFG Diamond+, Trio finder with mic required.
- Drops: Map drop-tier heatmap, contest win-rate sheet per POI.
- VOD: ALGS POV library, Verhulst rotation breakdowns.

## Advanced
- Master superglide + tap-strafe + lurch for height retakes; wall-bounce + mantle for bunker breach.
- Play zone edge as Caustic with 12 gas traps pre-placed 4th ring to force 2-team choke.
- Count enemy bats by sound (4s per bat) to time push on heal — pro IGL timing window.
- Swap POV: anchor watches back, fragger front; IGL tracks 5 squads left callout every 30s.
- Abuse replicator craft double armor swap + ammo craft mid-rotation for 3rd ring sustain.
- Play height + headglitch with Rampart walls + Seer interrupt to deny 3rd-party pushes.
- Save evac tower + Valk ult for 5th ring only; early use wastes endgame mobility.
