Characters are a vital part of Free Fire . They possess unparalleled abilities, which significantly affect users' gameplay. Thus, choosing an ideal character comes as a top priority before entering the battle.

According to player reviews, in order to maintain balance on the battlefields, developers often change the attributes of some characters with each major update . While some characters are buffed, few are nerfed due to overwhelming performances.

Three awesome Free Fire characters whose skills have been nerfed

3) Wukong

  • Ability: Camouflage (active)

With a cooldown of 200 seconds, when activating Wukong 's Camouflage skill, the user transforms into a bush with movement speed reduced by 20%. In this state, the user becomes more difficult to target. The transformation must end if the user attacks.

Surprisingly, the skill's cast time is reset when Wukong knocks down an enemy. Users should note that the kill does not need to be confirmed to reset this time. Also, the entire effect only lasts for 15 seconds.

Camouflage received a significant buff in the OB27 update, namely resetting the extended time when taking down an enemy. This made him extremely strong and Wukong as an opponent often became invincible in close-range combat.

Consequently, the developers had to limit their powers. After the OB30 update, movement speed was reduced by 20% while in bush form. Despite having a slight nerf, Wukong is still without a doubt the strongest character in Free Fire.

2) Max

Maxim Free Fire

  • Ability: Gluttony (passive)

With Maxim 's Gluttony skill, the speed of eating mushrooms and using medkits is increased by 25%.

skill changes

Maxim was a mandatory character in matches, especially in Contra Squad mode before the Free Fire OB31 update , due to his 40% increased speed in the use of main healing items. However, after this update, the pace has been reduced to 30%.

Again, in the subsequent OB32 update, the pace was reduced from 30% to 25%. Due to this, Maxim fans were disappointed.

1) Chrono

Chrono Free Fire

  • Ability: Tuned Shield (active)

With a cast time of 120 seconds, Chrono 's Tuned Shield creates an impenetrable force field capable of blocking 800 damage. The field lasts only six seconds. However, it should be remembered that players inside it cannot attack outside of it and vice versa.

skill changes

The OB31 update was a nightmare for Chrono users. Before that, Chrono was on everyone's lips, but that changed after the December 1, 2021 update.

While the cooldown has been slightly reduced from 180 seconds to 120 seconds and the damage blocking ability and effective time have been increased, the following two main attributes have been completely stripped from it:

  • Ability to shoot opponents from within the force field.
  • The increase in movement speed when activating the skill.

Note: The skills of the Free Fire characters described above are at their maximum level. Furthermore, this article reflects the author's opinion.
