Introduced in Season 19, Conduit in Apex Legends is a Support Class character. Ever since her release, the Legend has been under a fair bit of scrutiny due to her overpowered nature. Especially since the release of Season 20, the Apex Legends community is vehemently resenting the addition of this character, judging by the unfair advantage brought into the field with her kit.
