Characters

The OB26 Advance Server also introduces two new characters, Shirou and Mystery Character.

Shirou

As his in-game description reads: “Shirou is the fastest delivery guy around.” He owns a passive ability - Damage Delivered. At level 1, whenever the player is hit by an enemy within the 50-meter range, he will be marked for three seconds. However, only Shirou can see the marker. The first shot on the marked opponent adds a 10% additional armor penetration. It takes 60 seconds to cool down.

Mystery Character

The Mystery Character is perhaps Skyler. Free Fire has announced the collaboration with the Vietnamese singer, Son Tung MTP. And this new character fits every description of the Mystery Character. His active ability is Riptide Rhythm. It unleashes a sonic wave, damaging five gloo walls within 20 meters at the base level. For every gloo wall hit, players get an HP recovery boost.
