Garena regularly releases OB patch updates for Free Fire, introducing fresh features and characters to keep the battle royale exciting. Drawing from our analysis of the OB30 Advance Server, we spotlight the top 3 characters overdue for nerfs to restore balance.
The Free Fire OB30 Advance Server ran from September 9 to 16, 2021, revealing new features, skins, pets, characters, and more. While many additions thrill players, certain characters dominate too strongly, prompting Garena to consider adjustments.

Wukong's Stealth ability received major enhancements in the OB27 update, turning players into bush camouflage for 10 seconds with a 250-second base cooldown. Kills reset the cooldown entirely.
This rework—with its reduced cooldown and kill resets—makes Wukong exceptionally overpowered. Garena should dial back these strengths for fairer gameplay.

Chrono's Time Turner creates a force field blocking 600 damage from enemies. Allies take cover inside, and users can shoot out from it.
Post-OB27 nerfs removed ally speed boosts, limited self-speed to 15%, and extended cooldown to 170 seconds—over double the original.
Yet it remains dominant. Garena confirmed OB30 tweaks: cooldown up 10 seconds, duration down 0.5 seconds.

A124, a top-tier female character built with cutting-edge robot tech, features the active ability Thrill of Battle.
At base level, it swaps 25 Energy Points (EP) for Health Points (HP) on a 90-second cooldown. Max level converts 50 EP to HP every 60 seconds, excelling in close combat.
These are the top 3 characters set for nerfs in Free Fire OB30.
