Free Fire OB46 Features
New Character: Lila
Garena is introducing a new character named Lila in Free Fire. She’s a Gloo Wall artist who loves exploring. In battles, Lila uses rifles to slow down enemies and vehicles with her Gloo technology. When she knocks down enemies, she gets extra Gloo Walls and her special ability, Gloo Strike activates.
Special Ability – Gloo Strike: Lila’s rifles reduce enemy movement speed by 10% or vehicle acceleration by 50% for 35 seconds. If an enemy is knocked down while slowed, they are frozen for up to 35 seconds, and Lila gets an extra Gloo Wall. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
