DJ Alok

DJ Alok is a support character in Free Fire MAX. His ability, Drop The Beat, allows users to heal and provide speed buffs to the entire squad. Once activated, those within the aura will recover five hit points per second and move 15% faster for 10 seconds.

Even though Alok is meant to be used as a support character in combat, he can be used aggressively as well. This makes him highly versatile and flexible in battle. With a bit of practice, players can charge into the enemy's ranks with the character.

Furthermore, with a low cooldown time of 45 seconds, his ability can be used very frequently. This will give gamers an edge in combat and allow them to secure more Booyahs with ease.


Skyler

Skyler is best described as a specialist-type character in Free Fire MAX. His ability, Riptide Rhythm, focuses on breaking down gloo walls. Once activated, a sonic wave is created, which travels 100 meters and can destroy up to five gloo walls.

In addition to breaking down gloo walls, his ability also grants HP regeneration, triggered by simply placing a gloo wall. These two perks combined allow Skyler to be self-sufficient and be used aggressively in combat.

With a few support abilities added to the combo build, the character will be largely unstoppable in most fights. He can also be used in team fights to harass the enemy and leave them defenseless.


Verdict
