Players who love to rush at others can use DJ Alok's Drop the Beat, which sets a timer of five seconds during HP generation at the rate of 5/s. This HP generation helps them tackle the damage accumulation while playing aggressively.
However, players should have a decent skill set to fight off their enemies.
2) Alok is exceptional at team support

Gamers can also use Drop the Beat to enhance the agility of allies who are within a 5-meter aura of Alok. The 10% increase in movement speed ensures overall team benefit.
A team can quickly retreat from multiple squad situations and finish off their opponents if the threat is minimal. The effect lasts for five seconds, but players can upgrade it to 10 at max level.
3) Ideal for any ability combination
