| Gibraltar of Apex Legends Mobile |
GIBRALTAR aka Gibby is a tank class and from the looks, you can guess Gibby is also called a fortified legend. While he takes reduced damage in general there are defensive abilities that you can use in offensive ways also Gibraltar provides good value for the team.
Gibraltar Abilities :
Gun shield (passive)
When you ADS with a gun it deploys a gun shield that blocks incoming damage. There’s no cooldown time.
When it comes to direct fight (ADS mode) Gibraltar has the edge, blocking incoming damage with the gun shield, which takes lots of damage to break. The shield’s color changes from orange to white as it loses strength.

Dome of Protection (Tactical)
This is a tactical ability with a cooldown time of 39 Sec. Deploys a Dome of shield that blocks any incoming or outgoing damage. It also blocks throwable eg. grenades, caustic’s Nox gas Traps. This helps the whole team in the open field, enemies can’t fire from outside, and they will have to come and enter the dome to attack.

Gibraltar Tips :
Gibraltar is tank class and takes 15% less damage in general, bullets can’t slow the speed along with the gun shield makes it hard for the enemy in a direct 1v1 fight. In the meantime, if your teammates are present behind you, they can attack and get some high damage.
This legend can help the team in many ways. The dome shield can be used to provide a much-anticipated shield for the whole team, it can be used to revive teammates. As enemies can’t attack from distance, they tend to enter into the dome shield, as playing defensive, trying to buy time, or just waiting for the right time, you can keep moving around the dome shield just to keep the shield barrier in between you and the opponent. Remember, the opponent can also use the same trick.
Use the ultimate ability not just as offensive (to deal damage) you can use it as defensive, as to buy some time/ get back or make the opponent get into a house/obstacle that you can use properly. Long-distance sniping from an open field is also way easier since you have a gun shield while ADS, you can snipe with ease.
Something to remember in general, while Gibby is fortified and other tanking stuff, it has a bigger hitbox, which means being big in size, it’s easier to hit you for opponents.
