DJ Alok creates a five-meter aura that improves the movement speed of players by 10%. His ability, Drop the Beat, also facilitates HP recovery at a rate of 5 HP per second for 5 seconds and has a fixed cooldown time of 45 seconds.

DJ Alok is the best choice among all three, mainly because of his fixed cooldown time. Moreover, Drop the Beat is more diverse compared to Healing Heartbeat, and the amount of HP recovered by Alok is way more than Skyler.

Skyler is suitable for players who are incredibly confident and believe in aggressive gameplay. Dimitri is best suited for Clash Squad matches as it brings out the best in him.
