The popular mobile game, Brawl Stars, has invoked a lively discussion among its players about their first Legendary Skin purchases. The discourse not only demonstrates the diversity of players’ preferences but also offers a peek into their reasoning behind those choices.

Summary

  • Players’ choices were influenced by a mix of aesthetic appeal, discounts, and characters’ gaming abilities.
  • The cost of Legendary Skins often acts as a deterrent for many players.
  • Players did not necessarily purchase skins for their most-played characters, indicating a desire for variety.

Choosing Based on Favorites

Many players have chosen their first legendary skin based on their favorite characters or skins. For instance, ‘Alolan_Cubone’ chose ‘Robomike’ despite having other options, out of pure love for the character. This love for the characters often dictates the players’ choice irrespective of the game value the skin might offer.

Watching The Wallet

The legendary status does not come cheap and some players, like ‘Masterdizzio’, reported not buying a single Legendary Skin despite having multiple accounts as they “couldn’t afford it”. Others waited for discounts before making their purchase, with ‘FrostGlader’ buying ‘Evil Queen Pam’ during a hyper discount sale.

Role of In-Game Currency

In-game currencies also play a role. ‘Just_a_normal_guy39’ said he purchased ‘Gold mecha Bo’ and ‘Gold mecha Crow’ only when purple currency was introduced. Some users, like ‘Sina_Deniz’, utilized their hefty collection of Star Points to buy ‘Dark Mecha Crow’}.

Feeling Left Out

Not all players possess Legendary Skins. ‘IDontKnownah’ voiced the sentiment of many by asking for discussion about ‘Mythic or Lower’ rarity skins as not everyone owns a Legendary Skin.

All in all, the discourse paints a picture of how varied the experiences can be within the community of Brawl Stars. Choices could be fueled by individual preference of characters, the lure of discounts, the role in-game currencies play, or the formidable cost factor. Meanwhile, there’s also a chunk of players who are yet to get their hands on a Legendary Skin. Maybe it’s time the conversation expanded to include them as well?
