Guide to best utilize the Free Fire Ryden character

Below are the best ways to utilize the Free Fire Ryden character:

1) To eliminate the enemy with frags

Since Ryden's ejected spider slows the enemy's movement speed, it'll be easier to eliminate the enemy with frags. Instantly throw a grenade towards the captured enemy, and since its movement speed is slow, the foe will have relatively less time to move away from the blast.

For this tactic, pair the character with Moco, Alvaro, and Nikita, as after capturing an enemy, Moco will reveal the foe's location, Alvaro will allow you to throw two frags at once toward its direction, and Nikita will hinder the enemy's medkit effectivity.

2) For passive players

Passive players can pair the Free Fire Ryden with Nikita, Luna, and Jota characters. This Free Fire character combination will help you catch an enemy off guard easily. Keep a low profile until an enemy comes within an appropriate distance, and then release the spider to reduce the foe's movement speed.

Owing to Luna's ability, you'll have a better movement speed and firing rate than the enemy in the ensuing gunfight. Moreover, Jota will give you extra HP, and Nikita will ensure a good reload speed.
