1) DJ Alok

DJ Alok in Free Fire

DJ Alok was introduced a couple of seasons ago and has a special ability called "Drop The Beat." This ability creates a 5m aura that increases ally movement speed by 10% and restores 5 HP/s for 5 seconds.

It is an active ability that is best-suited to aggressive players and can be boosted up to level 6 with character level-up cards. The max level provides the ability to increase the ally movement speed by 15% and restores the HP by 5HP/s for 10 seconds.

2) Rafael

Rafael in Free Fire

As Rafael's in-game description reads, he is a deadly killer who has an active ability called "Dead Silent." His base level ability allows him to hide his gunshots on the map for 8 seconds. His ability requires a cooldown of 90 seconds.

After he is leveled up to his maximum potential, his gunshots still only remain hidden on the map for 8 seconds but the cooldown reduces to 40 seconds.

DJ Alok or Rafael: Who is better?

Both DJ Alok and Rafael are popular choices in Free Fire and both have active abilities.

Rafael hones a single skill of hiding gunshots on the map which is viable for picking off enemies. DJ Alok, on the other hand, offers two buffs with his ability. DJ Alok offers a healing source to himself and his allies within a certain radius and also increases ally movement speed while using the ability.

In terms of viability and versatility of use, DJ Alok can be a great choice for both aggressive as well as passive players on the virtual ground of Free Fire. Rafael fails to prove his versatility. While Rafael may be good for 8 seconds of stealthy aggression, he does not provide the same utility that DJ Alok does.
