Free Fire New Character: Ray

Ray is the new character released in the Free Fire OB53 update. His backstory adds an interesting layer to his aggressive attacking style. Ray is not a calculated sniper or a passive defender. He is a street fighter who is interested in close-quarters fights, and his abilities reflect exactly that.

Free Fire Ray Character Abilities

Free Fire Ray's character signature ability is Sunpower, which makes him powerful. When activated, Ray releases Sunpower, a fan-shaped wave of energy directly forward, covering a range of 30 metres. This wave will tag the very first unowned enemy it makes contact with for 10 seconds. It also creates a secret visual link between Ray and the tagged target.

This link is only visible to Ray and the tagged enemy within a 40-metre radius. If Ray can shoot the tagged enemy and reduce their hit points to 40 or below, the enemy gets instantly knocked down. Moreover, if the tagged enemy is knocked down or eliminated while the link is active, Ray's skill cooldown resets instantly, and he also recovers hit points at a rate of 10 hit points per second for 3 seconds.

Free Fire Ray Abilities can chain back-to-back knockdowns in squad fights without ever waiting for a standard cooldown period. The base cooldown for the Sunpower ability is 45 seconds. Since every successful knockdown resets the cooldown using the Moonpower ability, skilled players can effectively keep Ray’s aggressive abilities active throughout an entire squad fight.

Best Character Combos for Ray in Free Fire

Ray is no doubt one of the strongest characters in Free Fire, but pairing him with the right supporting characters in Free Fire makes him literally unstoppable. Here are the top recommended combinations:

1. Ray and Jota

This is being considered as one of the strongest pairs according to the Free Fire Ray character guide. Free Fire OB53 Update improved Jota so that his passive ability now recovers hit points on any type of knockdown. Combined with Ray's built-in hit points recovery ability on knockdown resets, this duo creates a strong tank who heals continuously as long as Ray keeps securing knockdowns.

2. Ray and Hayato

Hayato's passive ability increases armor penetration as hit points decrease. Since Ray constantly pushes for fights and sometimes takes damage even before landing his aggressive wave, Hayato's armor penetration bonus activates naturally. This synergy makes it significantly easier to get enemies down to the 40 hit points threshold that triggers Ray's instant knock ability.

The Free Fire OB53 Update also brings the Hydro Blaster Weapon. Check our article on how to utilise the Strongest Close-Range Weapon in Free Fire.

Free Fire Ray Character Guide: Tips and Tricks

Here are the pro tips that players can use to use Ray effectively in Free Fire:

• Scan the battlefield first and then aim your wave precisely. Ray's Sunpower ability attacks only the first person. So, it is better to scan the battlefield and identify the highest priority target.
• Use Ray in close combat. As mentioned in the abilities, the Sunpower ability has a range of 30 metres, so always use Ray for close-range fights and try ignoring long-range battles.
• Always tag the enemies first and then push. Tagging the enemy creates a link. If the enemy is healing or trying to escape, then increase the pressure of the link, and the enemy will reach the hit points threshold to knock down the enemy.
