DJ Alok's ability in the game helps the squad by providing tactical benefits. It is called Drop the Beat and restores 5 HP/second alongside increasing movement speed by 15%. Only those within the ability's 5-meter radius will receive the buffs. Once used, it takes 45 seconds to cool down.

Combat usage

DJ Alok's sole goal is to provide the squad with a tactical advantage in combat. Those using this ability must be vigilant about their teammates' health and monitor the battlefield closely.


Verdict

Although Thiva is a good character in Free Fire, his ability falls short compared to Maro and DJ Alok. While it is helpful in combat, it's very limited in scope, leaving only two viable options for players.

Choosing between Maro and DJ Alok is a challenging task. One provides extra damage, while the other heals injuries. Depending on the playstyle and the user's role in teamfights, either one is highly beneficial. Deciding on whose skill to use will be a personal choice.
