Maro's ability is known as Falcon Fervor. The further away an opponent is located, the more damage the user will inflict. This scales to a maximum of 25% increased damage. As a bonus, users can deal an extra 3.5% damage to targets that have been marked.


Combat

Skyler is the best at breaking down gloo walls in combat. The bonus ability to actively heal also allows the user to be self-reliant during a gunfight. Combining these two traits, the character is well-suited as an aggressive rusher in Free Fire.


Nairi in combat

Nairi's ability allows the user to play both defensively and aggressively in Free Fire. The extra gloo wall durability is great for long-drawn battles, while the bonus damage is useful when rushing the enemy.


Maro in combat

Maro's main use in combat is to deal damage. Using his ability, the user can deal vast amounts of damage to opponents far away. This makes the character ideal for sniping and mid to long-range gunfights in Free Fire.


Verdict

All three characters have a unique ability in-game. Depending on the playstyle, users will have to decide which one suits them best. However, when it comes to raw damage output, none can surpass Maro.

Those good with snipers can get one-shot headshots, while those decent with assault rifles can inflict a lot of damage. When used correctly in combination with other abilities, Maro's Falcon Fervor truly has no equal in Free Fire.
