  • Ability: Riptide Rhythm (active)
  • Cooldown: 60 seconds

Unlike Alok, many characters in Free Fire are quite underrated despite having a decent ability. Skyler is one such character not that talked about, but he is one of the most balanced alternatives users get.

Skyler is quite potent due to his all-around capabilities, as he can destroy gloo walls (five) with his sonic wave. Riptide Rhythm also helps regenerate health points (starting at four) every time gasers deploy a gloo wall.


6) Xayne

Like Skyler, Xayne is another underrated female Free Fire character, especially for the players with attacking strategy. She can provide a temporary HP boost with her active ability.

Through Xtreme Encounter, they can get 80 HP (temporary) for 15 seconds. Moreover, Xayne's skill allows users to deal more damage to gloo walls and shields, an 80% increase.


7) K

  • Ability: Master of All (active)
  • Cooldown: Not available
  • Mode Switch Cooldown: Three seconds

K's Master of All has two modes:

  • Psychology mode: Gamers receive a continuous EP increase, which is vital for rushing. It will allow them to get a boost in the EP bar every 2.2 seconds. The increase is three EP during that specific interval.
  • Jiu-jitsu mode: Besides getting benefits related to EP and health, players can help their teammates using Jiu-jitsu mode. This mode enhances the conversion rate of EP into health for allies by 500%. The only condition for teammates to avail themselves of the benefit is staying closer to K (within six meters).

K is arguably the most potent character in Free Fire and is suitable for defending, attacking, and providing tactical support to the teammates. His skill also leads to an expansion of the EP bar's capacity by 50 points.
