It still kinda is locked behind a paywall since its hard to grind credits as a f2p for a whole legendary but if you buy the brawl pass, you get 1000+ credits to easily unlock kit.
Yes, but we didn't know anything about what the new brawler's rarity was going to be next season during the chroma credit event, and it was better value to spend the chroma credits on brawlers that would be legendary and mythic before the conversion.@@Engel1456
