Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the procedure on how to give skins on Brawl Stars , I think it may interest you to know more about this possibility.
Well, the skins are essentially aesthetic elements, costumes for their Brawlers. This means that these objects can change the external appearance of the characters, but obviously they do not go to increase statistics or the like.
However, a skin can make a Brawler unique in the midst of a sea of equal-looking characters. In short, having a costume of this type can make you stand out from other users when you play online.
I understand, therefore, the reason that pushes you to want to give this type of element to a Brawl Stars fan . However, actually, thinking about it well, the solution may not be exactly around the corner.
In fact, the skins of the Supercell title are generally purchased through the gems , or the paid currency inside the game, or through the stellar points , which must be obtained by continuing in the adventure.
This means that you should have your friend’s smartphone or tablet available and use it to purchase gems or earn Star Points directly on their account. Obviously, carrying out an operation of this type is not ideal and is particularly “uncomfortable”.
For this reason, my advice is to turn to the prepaid cards of the digital stores of Google and Apple that allow you to add credit to your account and, therefore, make in-app purchases in applications and games, including Brawl Stars.
Put simply, you could think of giving your friend one of these cards and he can then enter the code to redeem the credit and buy the Brawl Stars gems necessary for the skin that best suits his needs.
This is probably the best way to gift a costume on Brawl Stars . Moreover, among other things, giving your friend a card of this type, obviously choosing the right one depending on the platform, will essentially allow you not to “get the gift wrong”, as then the other person can choose the skin to be chosen by himself. buy.
In this regard, I indicate the quantity of gems that, in general, is necessary for the purchase of the skins (indicative, since it may vary over time); in this way you will be able to more easily identify the cut of the gift paper to buy.
- 30 gems: € 2.29;
- 80 gems: € 5.49;
- 170 gems: 10.99 euros;
- 360 gems: 21.99 euros;
- 950 gems: 54.99 euros;
- 2000 gems: € 109.99.
For the rest, you should know that unfortunately it is not possible to give costumes directly to other players, since the developers have not implemented this possibility within Brawl Stars.
