Free Fire OB29 has finally been released, and along with it, two new characters named Dimitri and Thiva. Between the two, Dimitri is considered to be the stronger one - his ability might be as useful as Alok. In this article, we are going to compare Dimitri vs Alok to see which one is better in Clash Squad.
Table of Contents
1 - How strong is Dimitri in Clash Squad?
Dimitri Ability: Healing Heartbeat - Creates a 3.5m healing zone. Inside, users and allies recover 3HP/s. When downed, users and allies can self-recover to get up.
Overall, comparing to the advance server version, Dimitri's ability has been nerfed slightly in OB29. Healing Heartbeats creates a healing aura similar to Alok, however, it isn't as big and does not restore as much HP. At least the total HP restored is 45, a fairly respectable amount.
The best part of this skill is probably the "self-recover" ability that affects the user and all teammates in the area when downed. Overall, this ability is super useful in Clash Squad - if you get taken down next to a cover, you can just scuttle into it and get up by yourself. Rescuing teammates is much easier, as enemies will not be able to ambush you anymore. Just activate the skill and wait there looking out.
When maxed, the duration of Healing Heartbeat is increased to 15, with its cooldown decreased to 60. Overall, leveling this ability is super important, as the duration and cooldown improvement are massive.
2 - How strong is Alok in Clash Squad?
Alok Ability: Drop the Beat - Create a 5m aura that increases moving and sprinting speed and restores HP.
After almost two years, Alok is still considered to be the best and most balanced character ever added to Free Fire. Alok's ability "Drop The Beat" provides a decent edge but does not feel unfair. Upon activation, it creates a 5-meter radius aura that increases movement speed and HP regeneration for the user and his teammates. Multiple instances of the aura can't be stacked, but the healing and speed bonus stack with other similar skills.
In Clash Squad, Drop the Beat is a great ability to use when rushing and flanking... while restoring a moderate amount of HP in the process. Money is scarce in Clash Squad and this could save you the trouble of having to buy medkits.
The ability is already pretty decent at level 1, with a 10% speed bonus and 25 HP heal total, with a duration of 5 seconds. As you level it up, the speed bonus increases to 15% and the duration to 10s. This in turn increases the total heal amount to 50. The best part about Drop The Beat is that its cooldown is super short at only 45 seconds - you can spam it at any time without any issues.
3 - Dimitri vs Alok, Which is better?
Both characters' abilities are really similar - a healing aura that restores the HP of all allies in the radius. However, Dimitri's ability has more uses - it lets you cheat death in squad mode. In clash squad, numbers are vital... and a lot of deaths are caused by ambushes when helping teammates.
With Dimitri's ability active, that weakness is removed. Therefore, Dimitri is stronger than Alok in Clash Squad.
