DJ Alok or Hayato Firebrand comparison: Who to play with?

Both have unique abilities, which makes them fan-favorites. Though Hayato's default ability, Bushido, is passive, the Firebrand iteration has an active ability, but it does not make much difference in its strategic use.

As both characters are available in Free Fire and are obtainable individually, it is the player's choice to equip them.

Hayato Firebrand's ability is more suitable for passive players, although it helps players in close quarter combats by reducing the frontal damage.

DJ Alok's versatility in power is his key to success. His ability is viable for both aggressive and passive players, offering a healing source throughout the game.

Hayato's ability is inclined more towards a defensive and passive gameplay strategy.
