Garena Free Fire: Top 10 Characters Ranked (June 2022)

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and its mobile counterpart PUBG Mobile are some of the best battle royale games on the market, so it makes sense that other developers and publishers try to capitalize on their popularity. As a result, Garena and Garena Free Fire quickly took over the mobile gaming world after launching in 2019 and remain popular to this day. Interestingly, Garena Free Fire has a few stylish features that set it apart from similar games like PUBG. For example, Free Fire lets players choose a character as a base for their avatars, which certainly adds a layer of flexibility for personalizing in-game characters. However, some characters are better than others. Let's take a look together at the Garena Free Fire characters and rankings!

Garena Free Fire Characters and Rankings

10. Wukong (Camouflage)

Sometimes players in battle royale games have to play dirty to win a match, and often that means catching enemies by surprise and killing them before they can react. This can take many forms, such as sniping or even ambushing, but thanks to Wukong, Free Fire players can go wild with another idea: disguise.

Thanks to the Camouflage ability, Wukong can turn into a bush for ten seconds, but with the drawback of a 40% movement speed reduction. Not only that, he also has a base-level cooldown of 250 seconds that he can reset with every kill. Ten seconds may seem a bit too short, but players who love their stealth games know it is more than enough to infiltrate an unsuspecting team and introduce them to the business end of their weapons.

9. Alvaro (Art of Demolition)

Players of any battle royale game know that a throwable explosive, used correctly, can deal enough damage to wipe out squads, and Alvaro and his love of explosives are a match made in heaven for these players. Serving as the game's demolition expert, Alvaro has the right technology to make a player's explosives deadlier than ever.

He does this through Art of Demolition, which not only gives explosives a mere 10% damage increase but also a 7% increase in explosive range. This boosts the power of grenades thanks to their ability to affect a wider area, and it makes more offensive plays possible for aggressive teams.

8. Skyler (Riptide Rhythm)

Gloo Walls are an incredible defensive resource in Free Fire, especially since this non-damaging explosive creates a wall that protects against bullets. While this is annoying for players who have to get past Gloo Walls to kill enemies, CEO-superstar Skyler has the right tools to eliminate the competition.

With Riptide Rhythm, Skyler can unleash a sonic blast that destroys five Gloo Walls within 50 meters. Not only that, Skyler also regains 4HP whenever she places a Gloo Wall in the game, encouraging more defensive structures.

7. Clu (Tracing Steps)

Aggressive players know that missing an enemy is an invitation to be beaten by a fierce counterattack, so players on the offensive are always sneaking around to get opponents moving. Clu is the right character for the job, as this special detective has all the tools to track enemies moving around.

She does this thanks to her Tracing Steps ability, which gives a 50-meter radius that pings all opponents who are not crouching or prone. Since Clu can pinpoint exactly where enemies are waiting to be ambushed, this is very stylish for an aggressive team. She can also help boost other recon agents' abilities by securing targets with her unique parameters.

6. Jota (Sustained Raid)

Practically speaking, players don't need to be careful in a battle royale if all their opponents are dead, but that is generally a mindset reserved for sweaty or overly aggressive players. Fortunately, Jota can help make this playstyle highly viable, because his gameplay essentially encourages chaos over caution.

All of this is possible thanks to Sustained Raid, since it gives him a small amount of HP when he hits an enemy. This not only encourages accurate aim but also encourages extremely risky, but rewarding and fun, play strategies such as third-partying an ongoing firefight or ambushing enemies head-on. After all, gaining health after hitting an enemy is an instant reward.

5. Captain Booyah/K (Master of All)

What makes Free Fire wildly different from other battle royale games is the concept of EP, especially since it allows players to use EP to heal HP without needing healing items, provided they earn enough EP. Apart from Captain Booyah, whose abilities maximize EP-to-HP recovery, many characters can't improve how EP works in the game.

Thanks to the Master Of All ability, he can gain 50 more EP in total, raising his EP up to 250. Not only that, he can also switch between two modes to boost EP power in various ways. Under Jiu-Jitsu Mode, all allies within six meters get a 500% increase in EP conversion rate. Meanwhile, through Psychology Mode he can heal up to 3 EP per second, letting him keep accumulating EP.

4. DJ Alok (Drop the Beat)

Battle royale can get dangerous for players quite quickly, not because they might die in a firefight but because they haven't recovered from a previous firefight before meeting the next enemy. It is this lack of recovery time that often leads to deadly encounters, and DJ Alok's music seems to help them recover, at least somewhat.

With Drop The Beat, DJ Alok summons a five-meter area that not only heals players inside it and their allies for 5 HP/second for ten seconds but also gives them a 15% movement speed boost. Not only that, the short cooldown means DJ Alok can be an incredible support character in the game. Players can play more aggressively knowing DJ Alok can be there to heal them when needed.

3. Chrono (Time Turner)

In a fierce battle game like Free Fire, protecting one's life is perhaps more important than dealing damage. And while having plenty of healing items can make life much easier, it is still better for players not to take any damage at all. That's where Chrono comes in. A time-traveling bounty hunter, Chrono aims to use his abilities to help the weak and powerless.

In terms of combat, Chrono relies on Time Turner. It is a shield that not only defends against up to 600 damage but also gives Chrono a 10% movement speed boost. This makes Chrono a must-have character, because he is one of the rare characters who can protect not only himself but his whole team from damage.

2. A124 (Thrill of Battle)

It is one thing for players to know that EP can be used gradually to replenish HP at critical moments, and another to actually find it useful for their needs. Players with a full stock of EP may not be able to use it if they take too much damage too quickly, but fortunately A124 can overcome this inconvenience with her stylish ability.

This assassin, although it comes with a 90-second cooldown, has the Thrill of Battle ability, which can instantly convert 25 EP into HP. Not only that, this starting condition improves as soon as the ability is upgraded, making the instant conversion much more powerful. This is an extremely useful ability to have, especially since A124 can rely on instant healing in a heated firefight.

1. Kelly (Dash)

Sometimes the best abilities in a game come from characters who offer many practical uses for that ability, and that is exactly what Kelly is. The fastest in the game, Kelly relies on her quick wit and athletic build to outrun and outpace her opponents, a skill that is always critical in a battle royale where trouble can be anywhere.

This translates into gameplay through Dash, which gives her a faster sprint speed. Despite the ordinary nature of this ability, Dash has many uses. Besides being able to get in and out of firefights faster, the faster running speed lets players make more distance-based decisions in fights. This includes running toward a drop or running into the danger zone to grab a coveted item.
