Free Fire's character system is one of the most exciting twists ever added to the usual Battle Royale formula. If you divide all characters into 3 tiers, Jota would be a tier 2 - his ability is super strong but somewhat limited, as the guy has to use a bad weapon to get the bonus. In this guide, we would list out the top 5 best tips and tricks to use Jota in Free Fire.
1 - Know Jota's Ability
Jota is one of the strongest characters created in Free Fire to date, with an ability named "Sustained Raids" that restores health after every kill. While this is only moderately useful in BR modes, in which you would often use an AR, its performance in arcade modes is absurd. You would be able to engage multiple enemies activating this skill - as unlike other kinds of heal, this one is instant.
- Level 1: SMG or Shotgun kills will instantly restore 25 HP, cool down 5 seconds.
- Level 2: SMG or Shotgun kills will instantly restore 28 HP, cool down 5 seconds.
- Level 3: SMG or Shotgun kills will instantly restore 31 HP, cool down 5 seconds.
- Level 4: SMG or Shotgun kills will instantly restore 34 HP, cool down 5 seconds.
- Level 5: Unlock Summon airdrop play card
- Level 6: SMG or Shotgun kills will instantly restore 37 HP, cool down 5 seconds.
- Level 7: Unlock Jota's banner
- Level 8: SMG or Shotgun kills will instantly restore 40 HP, cool down 5 seconds.
2 - Pick the right skill combo
Overall, you can use Jota on a fun Shotgun build with Caroline or an SMG build with Nikita. With his ability being close-quarter combat based - you might want to slap on Luqueta, Wolfrahh, or Alok's ability as well. Kapella's passive can boost his healing ability by 10%, giving your character 44 HP after every kill. When using a build based on Jota's skill, it is best that you stick in areas with multiple covers to avoid getting sniped.
3 - Pick the right weapon combo
As you are going to use a shotgun or SMG with Jota, it is best to pick up an AR as the secondary weapon. While a sniper rifle is tempting, you would not be able to deal with targets in mid-range effectively.

4 - Try to surprise your enemies
When using the shotgun, it is best that you try to fight in tight spaces in which enemies cannot shoot you from afar. Buildings are your friends - try to make an ambush behind corners. You can also try to sneak behind your foes or rush them suddenly so that they would not be able to react fast enough.
5 - How to headshot using shotguns
While it might be tempting to just do body shots, getting a headshot is still the fastest way to end your foes. The key to scoring headshots with the shotguns is firing 2 bullets in a row while aiming at the torso - the high recoil would drag your second bullet onto the target's head. You need to adjust your aim frequently - don't fire everything as soon as you see enemies.
