Chrono

Free Fire OB31 Update: Key Character Changes and Balance Adjustments

Chrono's Time Turner shield has received significant nerfs to curb its dominance. It can no longer be used offensively—players inside can't shoot out, and incoming damage is fully blocked, making it a pure defensive tool.

  • Force Field blocks 800 damage from all sources
  • Effects last 6 seconds at max level
  • Cooldown is 120 seconds at max level
  • Movement speed and ability to shoot from within have been removed

Maxim

Maxim, a go-to starter character for new players, sees a nerf to his Gluttony ability. His medkit usage speed was too forgiving, allowing prolonged survival outside the safe zone—now it's dialed back for fairer play.

  • Gluttony: Medkit usage 30% faster at max level (down from 40%)

K

K remains a top pick alongside Skyler, Chrono, and Alok. Her Master of All ability gets a strong buff in Psychology Mode, boosting EP recovery for sustained fights in this OB31 update.

  • Master of All (Psychology Mode): Recover 3 EP every 1 second, up to 250 EP total

D-Bee
