Chrono’s latest nerf has converted his Time Turner ability to become merely a shield. The boost in players’ movement speed has been removed, which caused the character to become significantly weaker.

The active ability can now block 800 damage and has a cooldown time that gradually reduces from 180 seconds to 120 seconds. The force field does not allow players to shoot while they are within it.

The awakened version of Andrew is way better than that of Chrono's Time Turner ability. The latter Free Fire character’s third nerf has made him significantly powerless compared to the other characters.

Not only does Andrew’s ability positively affect the players equipped with him, but it also ensures that they get additional support from allies possessing the skill. Moreover, the absence of cooldown time in Elite Andrew’s ability allows players to utilize him more often.
