How Strong Is The New Mystery Character In Free Fire OB33?

Garena is constantly adding new content to the game, with the most notable being the new characters. Usually, for each "OB" update, they add at least one or two new characters... and in the recent OB33 Advance Server Update, a new mystery character was revealed.

In this article, Gurugamer.com is going to analyze the new mystery character in Free Fire OB33 to see if he is worth using or not.

1. About Swordsman's Wrath

Nothing about the new mystery character was revealed except for his skill. Swordsman's Wrath is an active ability that creates a shield that reduces weapon damage coming from the front. The shield is shaped similar to the usual gloo wall, however, unlike gloo walls, it disappears if players use their weapons.

According to leaks, the new character is named Kenta, who has appeared in a previous Free Fire comic. He is Hayato's bodyguard and a skilled gunsmith. Overall, Kenta's ability is not that strong, as it pretty much can't be used for any kind of offensive strategy.

Swordsman's Wrath forms a frontal shield of 5m width that reduces 50% weapon damage coming from the front. Lasts for 2/3/3.5/4/4.5/5s and resets after firing a shot. Cooldown: 210/200/190/180/170/160s

2. How strong is the new mystery character in Free Fire OB33?

While having this shield can be useful, it is an active ability. By picking it, players must skip Alok or Skyler's skills, which are obviously superior.

If players are in need of a portable shield, just use gloo grenades or bring the Mr. Waggor pet instead. This shield also has a unique weakness of allowing enemies to see through it and detect your actions. While you can run after throwing down an opaque gloo wall, it's impossible to run with cover from this skill.

Overall, Garena should definitely buff it on the release version of OB33, as the current drawbacks of this ability are too many.

Strengths

The shield is mobile and can be rotated at will, based on players' camera angle.
Huge AoE that covers teammates.

Weaknesses

While having this shield can be useful, it is an active ability. By picking it, players must skip Alok or Skyler's skills, which are obviously superior.
Only block half the damage instead of full damage like Chrono.
Players cannot shoot while using the shield.

In order for this skill to be useful, it needs to have a very short cooldown. Overall, Kenta is super underwhelming and is unlikely to become a top pick like Chrono or Skyler. Players should wait for Garena to buff him before buying.
