The most insane combo is New Castle with Mad Maggie. Use her tactical on your tactical and you've got a flamethrower shield! View is cluttered with Maggie's tactical and you can push hard with it :D

So here's a little trick with Newcastle, IF AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE A GOLD KNOCKDOWN, revive your teammate during a fight, it sounds odd I know but if your low health and you start reviving your teammate with a gold not only do people not know what to do your teammate is up with a good bit of health and it's now a 2v1 with even playing fields, this trick has saved my ass to many times to count
You can sometimes even do this with a purple knockdown and still turn the tides. Even without the extra health the enemy now has two targets to shoot at instead of one and it can be a good way to sneak some extra damage while they’re busy trying to redown your teammate.
BROOO frrr I came here just to thank you, you save my FIRST MATCH AND FIRST WIN just because I litterally fucking revive 2 of my teammates with the gold knockdown shield in the last 1v1!!! Hahah the guy could do nothing because of my ult and tactical, pls do what this man said it works 100%
Even without a gold you can use the shield to block shots mid gunfight and then cancel it when the enemy reloads or u can stick the res and use the teammate as a meat shield to block the first couple of bullets lol I’ve noticed without a gold they’ll usually go down immediately but those bullets they take for you can be useful to winning a 1v1
Scout/volt. Since you aren’t engaging you want to be able to support and the scout is spammable enough to provide cover fire and finish off weakened enemies. Volt is my favorite up close weapon, I know the car is better but I love me a volt.
I have main’ed NC since his debut in S13 and I’ve been looking for ways on how to improve Mobile Shield tech. The grenade push is something I don’t think I would’ve figured out for a long while- I got so giddy when it was brought up. Also, I love running shotguns with him. Personally, I like Rampage/Flatline/Volt with PK/99/45
This is great. I’ve played a decent amount of Newcastle and out if all the Defensive Legends, he’s the only one I actually enjoy playing and is super under utilized. Just yesterday, I was playing and, long story short, managed to push the other team we were fighting by dropping a Mobile Shield and charging straight at them around a Catalyst wall to end the fight. I spent the rest of that night chasing the high I got off that Mobile Shield push 😂
Pk is mandatory on Newcastle most of the time you make a castle wall that means theres no cover there and the team has to push me that shotgun does wonders with the a purple bolt only times I've ever won a 1v3
It's honestly baffling that he's the 2nd lowest picked legend next to Crypto! The main argument people make is that he's boring to play which I understand since all the higher picked legends are movement legends. He's definitely slept on though!
The constant raise in inflection into waterfall for every point drove my autistic crazy ass over the edge. Its like a computer trying to sound more human.
Newcastle is so dead not the legend but the pick rate and his popularity honestly they need to do him justice and give him a heirloom early😤 (I'm totally not a full time newcastle main with 150 heirloom shards in my inventory waiting on his heirloom)
Newcastle is easy to learn, the wall you can out against your opponent, but the thing that i find a lil challenging on controller and maybe pc users?.. i have to hold my controller in a certain way when i rez my teammates to take them in a safe spot. i love playing newcastle, i’m a team player, i’ll go for the rez and try get my teammates behind cover if we’re in a open field where enemies can see us. guiding the tact was a lil hard for me cause i didn’t know you can move it, pressing the same button you released it with, i’m new to using him so i’m learning alright. 😂
Okay random but something that I notice: good players on apex are somehow not fazed by only having one little 25hp and continuing the fight lol I just choke at that point they knock all three and just heal after lmaoo😂
I had a catalyst wattson newcastle combo this season that was giving my team sooo much grief. We ego challenged, which was a terrible play but somehow was able to get knock em. But it was a formidable defense for sure
Hey Grizzy I noticed in a match I couldnt land on a teammate's banner this season even though he was in range( maybe I didnt have LOS but the ult usually ignores that) Did they patch it or something?
Dont be afraid to play aggressively with NC. You can easily push teams off of cover with the ult. Also a castle+loba,vantage,rev, or octane pad combo will allow you to stun slam a team with the wall and have the rest of your team insta follow up with the push.
Every team needs a Newcastle for playing ranked this season. The ability to set up for end zone + extra cover from 30-30 repeater that everyone is using + revive + craft banners it’s a no brainer
Thanks for all of the info. Awesome coincidence that it was Xfactor you blocked with that rooftop ult haha. Damn, now I'm curious what his reaction was all those months ago.
So for the passive if you revive a teammate and the enemy shoots up your shield it's goes back to a white shield? Or how long till it recharges? Can you still drop the knock down and pick up for instant refresh?
There is a regen mechanic where if your shield gets broken while reviving it will take time for the shield to regenerate. You could just pick up a new one to immediately have it regenerated
@@MrM4rvelous I believe you can just drop the knockdown and pick it back up. Unless they patched it. Probably takes a good 60 seconds or so for it to recharge normally
Another good idea is to combo you ult with someone movement like loba or vantage or maybe even a octane pad so you can go far and make cover which is perfect for rotating into open zones and engaging fights
Comment what are your favorite guns to use with Newcastle!?
Gotta have a marksman/sniper with a shotgun or smg for me.
G7||Volt maybe even like R301||PK too tbh.
@@cuzzohh2768 I like it

I like a longbow or sent with a r99
The sniper is good for quick scopes, tagging and peak shots and r99 is just perfect
Newcastle main here hah!
Flatline 3x
Mastiff red dot
fun fact, newcastle is lebron james confirmed. i mean look at those hops, who else can hop like that?
Exactly!!! Hahaha
Jordan ?
Did not age well. Bro can’t dunk or layup no more 😔
My black friends can
@@joqc1486get a joke
I don't play castle much but he is crazy good from what you showed! Btw I can not get over those controller tap strafes with aim-assist.
Newcastle is incredible for sure. And the tap strafes are a blast!
@@GrizzyyG How do you do that? Do you like do special binds to your controller on steam?
@@amazingmr3096 yeah on Steam on PC with paddles on my back controller
@@GrizzyyG Ah, that's what i thought.
Btw you streaming tonight?
I just came back to Apex and for some reason decided to play Newcastle one day and now I love him. This was useful af, thank you
I love playing some Newcastle too, no problem!

Newcastle with the gold knockdown is super clutch 👌

Scout is very good especially w/ Newcastle
He’s one of my least played legends! May have to start playing him more often after watching this vid! Great tips man! Banger video per usual Grizzyy!

Yes PK is crazy good with NC
That runaway shield has saved my ass so many times last season! Castle's a ton of fun to play and have on the team. A legend amongst men
Thanks to you for opening that play up to my eyes
A lot of useful info as usual! ♥️ Great video.
Appreciate you!
It's honestly baffling that he's the 2nd lowest picked legend next to Crypto! The main argument people make is that he's boring to play which I understand since all the higher picked legends are movement legends. He's definitely slept on though!
He's insane and a lot of ppl don't realize!
I hate how if you use your ult it will move your tac shield as well, got me killed quite a few times!
The constant raise in inflection into waterfall for every point drove my autistic crazy ass over the edge. Its like a computer trying to sound more human.
That arc star on the shield trick is crazy! 😎
The shield can pass through fences and doors and stuff too. It's nuts. Glad you liked it!
One more thing you can do is you can deploy the mobile shield and do a finisher behind it.
Amazing video! Thanks fot the tips! i just got newcastle and after 2 matches I already feel he can be my main hahah
I feel so hard to kill using him. He's a tank and is really rewarding to use. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
So between lifeline and Newcastle who gets the golden shield
Newcastle is so dead not the legend but the pick rate and his popularity honestly they need to do him justice and give him a heirloom early😤
(I'm totally not a full time newcastle main with 150 heirloom shards in my inventory waiting on his heirloom)
Hahaha he's insanely good. I would say him and Seer are the strongest legends in the game
Came here wondering if i had to hold down revive or not glad my question was answered 😂definitely goin off next time i play
Yes! It helps so much not having to hold it down
PK / Eva8 & R99 gunna be my fav NC combo I'm pretty sure.
Newcastle is easy to learn, the wall you can out against your opponent, but the thing that i find a lil challenging on controller and maybe pc users?.. i have to hold my controller in a certain way when i rez my teammates to take them in a safe spot. i love playing newcastle, i’m a team player, i’ll go for the rez and try get my teammates behind cover if we’re in a open field where enemies can see us. guiding the tact was a lil hard for me cause i didn’t know you can move it, pressing the same button you released it with, i’m new to using him so i’m learning alright. 😂
so if you don't turn the shield the correct way damage goes through?
No
dropped my first 2k (2.5 actually) with newcastle after sleeping on him for 2 seasons😪
Hes crazy good
Okay random but something that I notice: good players on apex are somehow not fazed by only having one little 25hp and continuing the fight lol I just choke at that point they knock all three and just heal after lmaoo😂
I’m sorry Gibby but I’m gonna try Newcastle. I’m sorry I’m gonna be cheating on you 😂
Dude ur a frickin beast i didnt know you didnt need to hold revive button while reviving lol
Yeah makes it so much smoother/easier to turn. I didn't know for a bit as well
You see a Newcastle, Caustic n Watson sitting in a house. Probably the most scary sight. Lmfao.
Haha facts! And prob Catalyst next season
I had a catalyst wattson newcastle combo this season that was giving my team sooo much grief. We ego challenged, which was a terrible play but somehow was able to get knock em. But it was a formidable defense for sure
I always play tank, I picked him up yesterday after an almost year long hiatus and he fits my playstyle awesomeley.
An absolute Chad of a character
Hey Grizzy I noticed in a match I couldnt land on a teammate's banner this season even though he was in range( maybe I didnt have LOS but the ult usually ignores that)
Did they patch it or something?
I can test it again but I thought you could jump to deathboxes of teammates. Maybe it was past 75 meters?
Do you think i could use longbow? I just love the gun
good guide, sub
Thanks for the Sub, more content incoming
These are a1 tips for this character, dude good stuff!
Means a lot! More guides soon
Great tips thanks bro

I use my shield to bait and switch, in lanes and such I’ll send my shield forward and push from the opposite direction
So for the passive if you revive a teammate and the enemy shoots up your shield it's goes back to a white shield?
Or how long till it recharges? Can you still drop the knock down and pick up for instant refresh?
There is a regen mechanic where if your shield gets broken while reviving it will take time for the shield to regenerate.
You could just pick up a new one to immediately have it regenerated
@@GrizzyyG how long is the time? Can I drop and pick up my own to reset it?
@@MrM4rvelous I believe you can just drop the knockdown and pick it back up. Unless they patched it.
Probably takes a good 60 seconds or so for it to recharge normally
@@GrizzyyG thanks
@@MrM4rvelous welcome!
Also if you hit enemy directly with wall it pushes the back and highlights their body with a glow
A good idea i havent tested is comboing mad maggie drill with new castle shield to make a mobile mad maggie shield
FIRST !
I❤️U
Just got 4 wins with NewCastle today.
Baiting his revive is so clutch. I just cancel it when a solo is charging me and melt them.
Yes! And you can see in third person which is huge
He’s one of my least played legends! May have to start playing him more often after watching this vid! Great tips man! Banger video per usual Grizzyy!
As someone who has always wanted to be offensive+mobility..he is honestly tons of fun and super strong
This was so good ,thanks
Rock Newcastle that's how GrizzyyG teaches to be a champ!
Thanks Bre
great video thank you, subscribed
Thank you!
301/CAR
CAR slaps
As a Newcastle main my main go to is a 30-30 scout or longbow paired with a smg
Another good idea is to combo you ult with someone movement like loba or vantage or maybe even a octane pad so you can go far and make cover which is perfect for rotating into open zones and engaging fights
No real pro player is actually playing Newcastle
