Chrono New Character in Free Fire Ability

The Free Fire community has been buzzing about the new character Chrono in the last couple of days. He appears on the OB25 Advance Server with quite a good set of abilities. Speculations say Chrono will be the next real-life adaptation of the legendary footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star may also be the answer to the ongoing 'Guess the Ambassador' event. Let's learn more about the ability of new character in Free Fire.

Chrono's Special Skill - Time Turner

The upcoming character in Free Fire will take on a futuristic and 'Cyberpunk' vibe with his ability to literally freeze time in a fixed zone. Chrono's skill - Time Turner, is an active one. He creates a dome force shield in a location of choice, blocking any damage from outside sources. Players standing inside the dome can still shoot through the force field. On top of that, all allies will receive a movement speed buff when in the dome!

Here are the stats of the skill on each level:

• #1 Level 1: Force field blocks 500 damage. Allies' movement speed increases by 15%. All effects last for 10 seconds. CD 55s.
• #2 Level 2: Force field blocks 500 damage. Allies' movement speed increases by 20%. All effects last for 10 seconds. CD 54s.
• #3 Level 3: Force field blocks 500 damage. Allies' movement speed increases by 25%. All effects last for 10 seconds. CD 52s.
• #4 Level 4: Force field blocks 500 damage. Allies' movement speed increases by 30%. All effects last for 10 seconds. CD 49s.
• #5 Level 5: Force field blocks 500 damage. Allies' movement speed increases by 35%. All effects last for 10 seconds. CD 45s.
• #6 Level 6: Force field blocks 500 damage. Allies' movement speed increases by 40%. All effects last for 10 seconds. CD 40s.

Pros and Cons of Chrono's Ability 

Chrono seems to possess a very powerful skill in all of Free Fire. It can help set up some cover for the whole team when you are caught out in the middle of nowhere. The shield will block 500 damage from outside, while you and your teammates return the "favor" from the inside. Plus, the movement speed buff will be very advantageous for repositioning or making plays.

But, there's a catch to this ability. It can only shield a fixed location, which means you can not move it anywhere once it's placed out. Wait for another 40 to 55 seconds until the skill is up again. And remember that this dome only blocks damage from outside sources, not the players. The enemies can still close up and enter it to fight you.

With that being said, Chrono has the ability to gain massive advantages for your team when in the right hands. Be strategic about where you place your shield and play smartly around it. Move in and out of the dome constantly while fighting enemies in close range to give them a hard time hitting you. Set up the force field to help your team heal, retreat, or reposition,... There are so many things you can do with Chrono!
