Well, no one can deny the incredible abilities that DJ Alok possesses. He has a versatile ability called Drop the Beat, which creates an aura of 5m and restores 5 HP/second for five seconds, and boosts ally movement speed by 10%.

When the character is leveled up, his ability also enhances. At the maximum level, at level 6, the 5m aura increases the ally movement speed by 15% and replenishes 5 HP for 10 seconds.

#2 - First powerful character

When DJ Alok was first launched in Free Fire, there were very minimal options for players to choose any other character that matched the skill level of DJ Alok.

DJ Alok is one of the earliest characters to have such a powerful ability, and players who bought Alok easily became biased towards his skill display.

Another reason why DJ Alok is so popular is due to the opportunity that the character can be gifted. Hence, players who cannot purchase DJ Alok also have a chance of receiving the character as a giveaway gift from popular YouTubers and streamers to date.

#4 - Players joining the hype

DJ Alok indeed possesses some incredible HP restoration and speed-boosting ability. But the immense popularity has resulted in creating a hype where almost every player today owns DJ Alok, and those who do not own the character are surely aiming to get him just to join the hype train.
