Wukong is Free Fire's very own Monkey King who has an active ability named Camouflage. It can transform users into a bush for a max duration of 10 seconds. During the state of transformation, Wukong's ability to move also remains intact.

Blending into the surrounding is pretty helpful in matches, especially when players are trying to retreat. They can easily escape to a place of cover using this skill.

Camouflage has a CD of 300 seconds, which can be considered his only drawback and can be decreased to 200 at level six.


3) K

K's Master of All assists in increasing players max EP by 50 and can be activated in two ways. Master of All's two modes have a mode switch CD of three seconds and work as the following:

  • Psychology mode: The character gains an EP at a rate of two every three seconds throughout the match.
  • Jiu-jitsu mode: Jiu-jitsu mode benefits allies as their EP to HP conversion rates get a 500% boost. Teammates need to be present within a 6m radius of Captain Booyah.

Hence, whether it's an defensive or attacking playstyle, Captain Booyah is equally beneficial.
