Combat uses

Jota in combat

Jota's primary use in combat is to apply pressure on the enemy. His ability to heal by dealing damage enables players to charge into combat without a second thought. If executed correctly, users will be able to wipe out an entire squad without using a medkit.

---

Chrono in combat

Chrono's primary role is that of a defender. The force field is great for absorbing damage. It can be used to create a barrier between the enemy forces and teammates. At present, the force field is the strongest defensive barrier in Free Fire.

Verdict

Jota and Chrono are two of the best characters in Fire Fire. However, following the Free Fire OB 31 update, Chrono's ability has been nerfed. This has drastically reduced his combat effectiveness, which makes Jota the better character in-game.

While Chrono still has potential, as of now, he is more beneficial as a defender than an attacker. On the other hand, Jota excels at pushing the enemy team and holding his own in intense gunfights.

With the ability to self-heal and recover vast amounts of HP, he has become a meta character in Free Fire. When paired with Detective Panda, players can become godlike during a match.
