3) Kapella

Description: Kapella is a popular pop singer and star.

Ability: Healing Song (passive)

2) Kenta

Description: Kenta is Hayato's bodyguard and a skilled weaponsmith.

The protection shield lasts for only five seconds and resets when the user tries to hit a shot. The cooldown time (CD) is 120 seconds at the minimum and 70 seconds at the maximum level.

Buff needed: The shield only lasts for five seconds, and in that also, it resets when users try to fire shots. Either the skill runtime should be increased a little bit, or the shield should not reset if users fire shots. The latter buff can make Kenta a powerful character in Free Fire.

Ability: Time Turner (active)

With a CD of 160 seconds at the minimum level, Chrono's Time Turner ability creates an impenetrable force field that blocks 800 damage. However, users are unable to attack from inside the field. All the effects last for only four seconds.
