Assessing the abilities of Antonio and Hayato in Free Fire

Hayato

Hayato in Free Fire

As his character description states, Hayato is a legendary samurai who has a passive ability called Bushido.

After equipping the character, the player's armor penetration increases by 7.5% with every 10% decrease in maximum HP. Once leveled up to six, the armor penetration increases by 10% with every 10% decrease in maximum HP.

Hayato also has an upgraded or an awakened version of himself that possesses an active ability called the Art of Blades. This ability reduces the frontal damage by 20% for three seconds, CD of 50 seconds.

Antonio

Antonio in Free Fire

Antonio has a passive ability in Free Fire called Gangster's Spirit. His base level or level 1 ability allows him to receive 10 extra HP when the round starts. However, after leveling up the character to its max level (level 6), Antonio receives 35 extra HP when the round starts.

Comparison

Both Hayato and Antonio have incredible abilities to offer to the player. They can be utilized in different situations on the battlefield.

Antonio's HP, received at the beginning of a round, is of great help when it comes to early fights in the game. However, Hayato's power proves to be more useful as it decreases the damage when the HP is reduced.

Keeping in mind their usefulness and viability on the battleground, both Hayato and Antonio are incredible choices for passive style gameplay in Free Fire.

Both characters can be bought for 8000 gold coins from the in-game store.
