How to Use the New Chrono FF Shield in the OB31 Update

Chrono FF finally gets the update it deserves and is no longer an “EZ win button”. The latest update is a new shield for Chrono FF on OB31. Check out how to use the new Chrono FF shield in the OB31 update on this page.

Last patches Free Fire this year, OB31, will be out on December 4, 2021. This update will bring big changes to the FF battle royale game, and the biggest update is the Chrono's Shield update.

In this article, we will analyze the changes and show how to use the new Chrono FF shield in the OB31 update.

What are the changes to the FF Chrono Shield in OB31?

CR7 Chrono is the biggest collaboration in Free Fire to date, and because of that, Garena overpowered his character to create hype from other characters. Since then, he has dominated the Free Fire Meta. Even after many nerfs. The shield is too strong, it provides perfect defense while letting you shoot from deep.

Overall, this skill is the choice for Free Fire gameplay, because many FF players use Chrono as their character.

Previously, his Tuned Shield skill in operation created a force field that blocked up to 600 points of damage from the enemy and still had an additional advantage, because you can shoot your opponent from within the force field.

The player's movement speed will also increase by 15 percent (for you) and 10 percent (for enemies). The effect of this skill lasts 4 seconds and has a cooldown of 50 seconds.

At the highest level, when Chrono is "full", your movement speed will increase by 30 percent, while enemies will increase by 15 percent. The ability effect will last for 9 seconds, and there will be a 40 second cooldown reduction to return to using the ability.

However, things are about to change in OB31. Instead of Chrono FF getting nerfed every day, Garena decided to update this character again.

In a future patch, you can no longer shoot through Chrono FF's shield from the inside. This may be the end of using Chrono on Meta, since almost a year since its release on Free Fire.

Time Turner Chrono in OB31 will get a massive cooldown reduction. While 120s is far from its original 45s cooldown, you can at least use the skill a few times per match now instead of just once.

Shield duration increases to 6 seconds at max level, almost enough to cover using medkits. Still far from the original duration of 8-10 seconds.

The movement speed bonus inside the shield has been removed. Overall not a huge downside as people usually don't move much in them.

All in all, instead of using skills offensively, you now need to use them as purely defensive skills. Just treat it as a Gloo Wall with a 120 second cooldown that allows you to see enemies from the inside.

Shield Chrono can block enemy fire and give you enough time to heal or help your teammates.

Since no one can shoot past him, throwing a shield over your opponent is actually a good idea when facing multiple enemies. Just drop a shield on one person to prevent him from shooting and focus on the others.

Characters Compatible With Chrono FF in OB31

Overall, a defensive passive that allows you to heal is the best skill for Chrono to use in OB31.

Maxim's Gluttony, Leon's Buzzer Beater and Thiva's Vital Vibes are the biggest candidates to match Chrono. Of course you can also pick up some offensive passives, to make up for the downside of Chrono's shield.
