This article compares the abilities of Chrono and the upgraded version of Hayato called Hayato Firebrand.

Assessing the abilities of Hayato Firebrand and Chrono in Free Fire

Hayato Firebrand

Hayato is an incredible character in Free Fire. He can be upgraded to a more potent version of himself called Hayato Firebrand, who has an active ability called the Art of Blades.

This ability can diminish the frontal damage rate of a player by 20%, but the effect only lasts for 3 seconds. However, this ability cannot be used consecutively and has a 50-second cooldown before it can be used again.

Chrono

Chrono is one of the most sought-after characters in Free Fire and possesses some incredible abilities that are useful for players on the battleground.

At his level-one ability, Chrono can create a force field blocking 600 damage from enemies. He can also shoot at opponents from inside the force field. Moreover, his movement speed increases by 15%. His allies within the force field also get a 10% increment in movement speed, with these effects lasting for 4 seconds. The ability has a 50-second cooldown.

When Chrono is maximized to level six, his abilities see major enhancements.

Conclusion

Chrono provides Free Fire players with great defensive and attacking power along with increased movement speed. Meanwhile, Hayato Firebrand only helps players with their defensive gameplay and lacks the versatility that an aggressive player requires.

Chrono is, therefore, a better character than Hayato Firebrand in Free Fire.
