Xayne is one of the few Free Fire characters who has an active ability. Her ability, Xtreme Encounter, lasts for 10 seconds and allows players to temporarily receive 80 HPs.

The ability also allows players to inflict 40% increased damage to gloo walls and shields at the first level. At the sixth level, the rate of damage is boosted by 100%.

Even if Thiva is a passive character, he is of no use when it comes to solo matches in Free Fire. So, Xayne is the better choice as her ability is more powerful and useful.

The only drawback of Xayne is her cooldown time, which ranges from 150 to 100 seconds. For this, players can pair her with a pet called Rockie, whose ability, Stay Chill, reduces the cooldown time of Free Fire characters.

Note: Since Thiva is a passive character and Xayne is an active one, players can stack their skills and use them together to get the best results in Clash Squad matches.
