Event unlocking of the Furnace Evolution is completely free. Here is the way:

• Play Battles: Simply play regular battle matches to help get you through the event. By the end of each battle, you’ll earn points that count toward the event reward track.
• Collect Shards: As you move along the reward track, you will have the chance to claim six shards for the Furnace Evolution at different milestones.
