How to unlock elite characters in Free Fire?

The elite forms carry the character's initial ability while adding a new skill set. For example, Elite Hayato (Hayato Firebrand) will keep the basic skill of Hayato (Bushido) and then add the improved skill set.

As a result, to acquire an Elite character, players must first possess that character. Fortunately, an elite character can be upgraded for free, and the characters can be obtained by completing various mission sets or special events.

Mission sets to unlock Kelly "The Swift"

To unlock Kelly "The Swift," the elite version of Kelly, or Hayatop Firebrand or Elite Andrew, players must complete five task sets, each consisting of multiple tasks. After completing all missions, the character's awakening skill, appearance, and costume will be unlocked.
