Tatsuya is an active character. Therefore, users must equip three other passive characters alongside him. The three characters may be as follows:

J.Bieb (Silent Sentinel)

J.Bieb's Silent Sentinel skill allows users and allies within the 12-meter range to block 15% damage using EPs. The amount of EP deducted from allies' EP will be added to the skill user's EP.

Moco (Hacker's Eye)

When using Moco, shot enemies will be tagged for 5 seconds. The tagging info will be shared with the teammates.

Hayato (Bushido)

With Hayato's Bushido ability, armor penetration will increase by 7% for every 10% decrease in the user's maximum HP.

This Free Fire MAX character combination is a prime choice for rushers to play aggressively and grab maximum eliminations.

Note: Free Fire MAX character abilities described above are at their maximum levels. The combination solely reflects the author's personal opinions.
