5 Free Fire Characters Who Will Become Super Hot In The Next OB27 Update

The OB27 is coming to Free Fire, bring tons of new changes to the characters system. With this update, Free Fire is going to buff the ability of many old characters to make their power more comparable to newer characters. Some of these buffs are actually really huge and they can make the character become a hot character after the next update.

In this article, we are going to show you 5 Free Fire characters who will be the meta in the next update.

1. Wukong

Wukong Old Ability: Turn into a Bush, CD: 300s (200s max).

Wukong New Ability: Transforms into a bush, lasting for 10s, CD 250s. Transformation stop when Wukong attack. CD reset when Wukong takes down an enemy. At Level 6, the duration is 15 seconds and the cooldown is 150 seconds.

Wukong gets a massive buff in the next update and he will be definitely the hottest character with these changes. Before, Wukong is not used by players at all. While his skill is useful, it has an insanely long cooldown of 200 seconds at the max level. Meanwhile, Chrono's ability only has a 40 seconds cooldown and he can shoot from inside the shield.

In the next update, Wukong's ability has a 150 seconds cooldown at the max level. Moreover, his ability will RESET after a kill, meaning that he can keep turning into a bush kill after kill until there is no enemy left.

2. Andrew

Andrew Old Ability: Vest durability loss decreased by 2% (12%).

Andrew Awaken Ability: Vest durability loss decreased by 2% (12%). Armor reduces 8% (14% max) more damage to the body. Addition 0.15% damage reduction for every teammate who has this skill.

Andrew is one of a few characters in Free Fire that players can get for free just by leveling up. That's why his skill is not that good compared to other expensive characters. However, in the next update, he will have an Awaken form that will turn him into a top-tier character. His vest will reduce more damage to players by 14% at the max level, plus a small bonus when your teammate also has his ability.

Andrew Awaken is free and effective. There is just absolutely no reason for players not to use him, especially in Squad and Dou modes.

3. A124

A124 Old Ability: Quickly convert 25 EP (50 EP max) into HP within 2.5 seconds, CD 90s (60s max).

A124 New Ability: Convert 20 EP (60 EP max) into HP within 4 seconds, up to 60 EP in Level 6 CD: 10s.

A124 is also an old free-to-play character in Free Fire that not many people use because her ability has a long cooldown. Her ability allow you to quickly consume your EP to heal up in during emergency situation. However, her skill can't be compared to the new character K, who can choose to restore your EP automatically or quickly consume your EP with only a 3 seconds cooldown.

The next update in Free Fire is going to change that and bring her some justice by reducing the cooldown of her skill and increase the amount of EP she can consume. She can just pair with Miguel to get more EP and you now get a combo skill that is just as good as K using only free-to-play characters.

4. Maxim

Maxim Old Ability: Reduces the time for eating mushrooms and using Med Kits by 2% (12%).

Maxim New Ability: Reduces the time for eating mushrooms and using Med Kits by 15% (40%).

Maxim's ability in the next update will be 3 times as good as his current ability. It will reduce 40% of the time you need to eat mushrooms and use Med Kits. This ability will still not very good in combats like other abilities but it has other purposes.

Combine the ability of Maxim with Ford and you will be able to heal more than the damage dealt by the final circle. If you stacked up enough Med Kits, you can easily hide and heal and get the Booyah! without doing anything. This will be even easier if you have other healing characters such as Alok, K, Kapella,... This combo skill used to be hot when Ford's ability wasn't nerfed yet. But with the buff for Maxim, it is time for it to rise again.

5. Rafael

Rafael Old Ability: You will not be revealed on the mini-map for 8s. CD 90s (40s max)

Rafael New Ability: Silencing effect when using snipers and marksman rifles. Enemies hit and downed suffer 20% faster HP loss, up to 45 % at Level 6.

Rafael was truly a useless character that no one wants to use. His ability is an active ability but all it does is conceal you on the minimap for only 8 seconds with a 40 seconds cooldown at the max level. The ability is too weak. It takes up the precious active ability slot and it has a high cooldown.

However, things will be changing a lot for Rafael as he will have a brand new ability in the next update. The ability will change into passive ability with a permanent silencing effect for snipers and marksman rifles. You will be able to take your time killing the enemy and they will have no idea where you are.

In addition, he will have a bonus passive that causes the enemy who got knocked down by him to suffer 45% faster HP loss. Not be able to finish an enemy in a Dou or a Squad is a real headache to many snipers players and Rafael's ability can fix that.
