In Free Fire characters are not created equal - some are really weak while others have literally 'game breaking' abilities. In general, the characters created in the early days of the game are weak, with skills that barely do anything. Newer characters, on the other hand, are strong with skills containing multiple effects.

Because of this, Free Fire has implemented an "Awakening System" to buff the weaker characters, with Hayato, Kelly and Andrew getting a new form and ability. In this article, we would list out the top 5 characters in need of awakening in Free Fire.

1 - Caroline

Caroline is a complete waste of a good character design. Her twin-tails miniskirt could definitely do much better than a measly 6% speed increase when holding a shotgun. Even Kelly's ability is more versatile. It can affect multiple weapons and not just shotguns.

Caroline should get a new awakening form with bonuses to shotguns and SMGs.

2 - Maxim

Maxim's passive bonus is pretty pathetic - the most it could do is cut down your medkit activation time by 0.5s. While the bonus is certainly positive and used in a lot of situations, the numbers are just too low.

If he ever gets a new awakening form, that skill is likely to buff consumables like medkit and mushrooms.

3 - Ford

Ford's ability is widely regarded as a joke in the Free Fire community, as no one wants to be outside of the safe zone if they can help it. It also suffers the same problem as Maxim's skill with the numbers being too small to actually matter.

If Ford were to get a new awakening form, the new ability should be related to the circle. A shield that prevents damage from the circle would be pretty cool.

4 - Olivia

Olivia is one of the few characters who was completely replaced by another. Overall, Kapella's ability is pretty much Olivia's, with some actual bonus that affects solo modes as well as squad. Her awakening form must provide some really unique healing bonuses for her to be picked over Kapella.

5 - Nikita

Nikita's reload speed bonus for SMGs is actually useless despite looking good on paper. The reason behind this is that the SMGs as a class already have a very high reload speed... and more of that would not matter much at all.

If Nikita were to get a new Awakening form, it would be great for her to have bonuses related to SMGs like extra damage or range.
