· With the latest update, legendary skins will be available for purchase with Bling.
· This marks the first time in Brawl Stars history that Bling can be used to acquire top-tier skins.
· This update is expected to significantly increase the value of Bling.

· The ability to purchase skins with Bling from the current catalog will be removed.
· After the update, all skins in the catalog will only be purchasable with Gems.
· Rare, Super Rare, and Epic tier skins will also only be available for Gems in the catalog.
· Therefore, if there's a skin you want to buy with Bling, it's recommended to purchase it before the update.

· Supercell recognizes issues with the existing Bling system.
· Many players have accumulated too much Bling, and as the number of skins increased, the desire to purchase Bling skins decreased.
· The value of Bling has fallen, leading to lower satisfaction when Bling appears in Chaos Drops and similar rewards.
· Bling was originally created to make skins accessible to all players, but some collaboration skins, for example, maintained their rarity by not being purchasable with Bling.

· After the update, a new section will be added to the shop, featuring skins previously purchasable with Bling on a rotating basis.
· This rotating shop will offer opportunities to purchase skins at up to 100% off.
· This means some skins can be acquired without using any Bling at all.
· If there's a specific skin you want, it's recommended to either wait for its rotation or purchase it before the update if you don't want to wait.

· Special 'Tap to Reveal' packages will appear in the new shop section.
· These packages will include Mythic and Legendary skins, marking the first time top-tier skins can be obtained with Bling.
· In addition to skins, various resources such as Pins, Profile Icons, Sprays, Mega Boxes, Chaos Drops, and Star Drops will also be purchasable with Bling.
· These packages can also have discounts of up to 100%.
· The estimated Bling prices are as follows:

Category	Estimated Bling Price
Epic Skin (149 Gems)	5,000 Bling
Mythic Skin (199 Gems)	10,000 Bling (Estimated)
Legendary Skin (299 Gems)	25,000 Bling (Estimated)

· The ability to directly select a desired skin within a specific rarity will be maintained for some Bling packages.
· For example, purchasing an Epic Skin package will allow you to choose one from several Epic skins.
· Through this update, Bling will become a much more valuable currency, and free-to-play players will also have the opportunity to acquire higher-tier skins.

· Here are ways to accumulate a lot of Bling before the update:
· Play Ranked Matches: Achieve 6 wins daily in the event starting March 30th to earn more Bling.
· Resource Key Exchange: You can exchange Resource Keys for Bling.
· New Mega Quests: New Mega Quests that reward Bling will be added.
· Brawl Pass: You can get more Bling from the free Brawl Pass track.
· Meanwhile, the drop rate for skins from Star Drops, Chaos Drops, and Brawler Boxes will be lowered.
· The exact reduction amount has not been disclosed, but it is expected that acquiring skins will become more difficult.

· Supercell aims for this update to allow free-to-play players to acquire a similar number of skins as before, while also having greater control over which skins they obtain through Bling packages.
· Player feedback regarding the reduced skin drop rates may influence Supercell's final decision.
