Detailed comparison of DJ Alok and Chrono in Free Fire based on abilities and combat usage

Chrono has an active ability in Free Fire called Time Turner. Upon activation, a dome-shaped force field/shield is created. It lasts for six seconds and can absorb up to 800 damage.

Combat

DJ Alok is well-suited to players who want an easy way to heal in Free Fire. His ability is invaluable for recovering HP in dire situations. The speed boost comes in handy when the user has to run away from danger quickly.

Chrono in combat

Chrono is suitable for players who want some extra defense during matches. Once the force field is activated, it provides a safe haven for the user. Although the duration is rather limited, a lot can be accomplished in those few seconds.

Verdict

Both DJ Alok and Chrono are amazing characters in Free Fire. Sadly, following the OB31 update and Chrono's nerf, the character is no longer as useful in-game. By default, this makes DJ Alok the better character for beginners.

DJ Alok's ability is simple to understand and master. Given the cooldown time, it can be used throughout the match. Furthermore, what makes this ability powerful is that it benefits the entire squad.

Rather than healing just one user, the player can heal the entire squad at once. This is useful during intense team fights or post-battle when everyone needs to heal.
