5 Steps to Free Chou Starforger's Glory: MLBB Malaysia Time
Published: 2026-09-12
Chou's Anniversary Skin: What Malaysian Players Actually Get
MLBB Chou "Starforger's Glory" drops as a free Special skin on 18 September 2026 at 05:00 MYT (GMT+8, noted once for this whole article) through the 10th Anniversary Jigsaw Puzzle event. The window runs 38 days and closes on 25 October 2026. That is six days from today. Malaysian ML players who log in daily from KL to Kuching can lock the skin without spending a sen, though the event does reward base Diamond top-ups with extra puzzle pieces. That is where REDX Game earns its keep for Malaysian ML players: base Diamonds count, bonus Diamonds do not, and every ringgit at REDX buys more base Diamonds than the App Store.
Starforger's Glory repaints Chou's fighter armour in molten gold and starlit blue. His signature kick chain leaves a comet trail on the finisher. A Special-tier free skin for a hero with a healthy ranked-lobby pick rate in Malaysia is a rarer freebie than the Nana Epic that shipped on 4 September. Newer players should learn one thing before the puzzle opens: Chou's Shunpo dash is his crowd-control immunity window, not a burst tool. Practise the Shunpo-into-Ultimate combo in Custom Mode this week. You will play many, many matches over the next 38 days.

Full Jigsaw Schedule and the Milestones That Matter
The Puzzle event opens on 18 September 2026 and closes on 25 October 2026 at 23:59 MYT, per Moonton's Phase 1 announcement. Timing is the same across every Original Server, so Malaysian, Singaporean, and Indonesian accounts pull the puzzle at the same clock tick. The main 10th Anniversary Celebration peaks on 9 October, which is also when the Layla "Prismatic Rhythm" Collector skin becomes claimable. Grinding both in parallel doubles your daily task list, so treat the two like linked quests rather than separate events.
- 18 September 2026: Jigsaw Puzzle opens; first daily task pack drops at 05:00 MYT.
- 25 September: "Call Back Friends" refreshes with extra puzzle pieces for reinvited players.
- 4 October: "Call Back Friends" closes; last chance for the returning-friend bundle.
- 9 October: Layla free Collector skin drops in parallel; anniversary tasks stack heavily.
- 25 October 2026: Jigsaw Puzzle closes at 23:59 MYT. Missing pieces means missing Chou.
5 Steps to Complete the Jigsaw Grind
- Log in daily from 18 September. Every login drops guaranteed puzzle pieces. Skip one day and those pieces are gone forever.
- Clear the daily task pack. Three matches in any mode, one Brawl or Arcade win, and one Mission Card claim finishes the pack in under an hour.
- Invite a lapsed friend before 4 October through the Call Back Friends banner. Each successful re-login hands you an anniversary piece bundle. Sabtu afternoons work best; that is when your old duo partners scroll Facebook.
- Recharge base Diamonds via the event tab if you plan to top up anyway. REDX Game settles MYR-priced base Diamonds in 1–3 minutes; the Recharge Rebate bonus Diamonds you may have seen advertised elsewhere do not count toward puzzle pieces.
- Trade excess pieces at the Puzzle Shop from mid-October. Leftover pieces convert into Anniversary Tokens for the parallel Aspirants rerun, so nothing you grind is wasted.
Full weekday grind takes about 40 minutes; weekend Brawl bonuses cut that in half. Miss more than four days across the 38-day window and the finish line tightens. Skip more than a week and you will need paid Diamond top-ups to catch up.
The Bonus-Diamond Trap Malaysian Players Keep Falling For
Read the fine print on the Jigsaw recharge card. Only base Diamonds count toward puzzle pieces. Recharge Rebate bonus Diamonds, first-buy doubler Diamonds, and any promo-code freebies are excluded. A player who tops up 500 base Diamonds and receives 500 bonus Diamonds still counts as a 500-Diamond recharge for event purposes, even though the in-game balance shows 1,000. This trips up first-time anniversary grinders because the total balance is loud and the base-Diamond counter is quiet.
Ration your top-ups across the 38-day window so each recharge clears a checkpoint, rather than one giant lump on the last weekend. A player in Petaling Jaya or Shah Alam Section 13 who stacks top-ups against ONIC MY and Selangor Red Giants match nights during MPL Malaysia S18 will hit the mid-tier checkpoints without noticing the spend. That is the point of pacing.
Ringgit Math: Where the REDX Gap Actually Bites
Concrete numbers help. The 274-Diamond tier costs RM 16.90 at REDX Game versus RM 22.90 through the App Store's in-game recharge, a RM 6 gap per top-up. On the 706-Diamond tier the split widens: RM 42.30 versus roughly RM 50 on the App Store, another RM 7.70 saved. Assume a Malaysian player clears three or four mid-tier recharges across the 38-day Jigsaw window. Rough saving comes out to RM 25–RM 30, which is roughly one mamak set of teh limau ais and pisang goreng, or half a Grab ride from Kuchai Lama to KLCC.
REDX Game's 1 to 3 minute delivery also beats the App Store's instant-but-costlier route on ringgit per Diamond, and unlike voucher resellers, no code-typing is involved. Diamonds land in your account before the queue at your local mamak clears. As MLBB's Wikipedia entry notes, the game is "developed and published by Moonton", so every REDX top-up flows straight through Moonton's official recharge API, no third-party voucher friction.
MLBB Chou Starforger's Glory FAQ
Bila Chou Starforger's Glory buka di Malaysia?
18 September 2026 at 05:00 MYT on the Original Server. The event window closes on 25 October 2026 at 23:59 MYT. Malaysian accounts share the same event clock as SG and ID players, so you cannot game the timezone.
Adakah skin Chou ini benar-benar percuma?
Ya, the Special-tier skin drops when the puzzle is fully assembled. Recharging base Diamonds is optional but speeds up the grind by roughly a third, because top-up milestones award bonus puzzle pieces on top of the daily task drip.
Berapa keping puzzle diperlukan untuk complete?
Moonton has not published the exact piece total. Rule of thumb from the Nana Stardust event earlier this year: a full daily grind across the entire window clears the puzzle with room to spare, while sporadic play needs Diamond recharges to catch up.
Do bonus Diamonds from REDX Game count toward the event?
No. Only base Diamonds trigger event checkpoints. That said, base Diamonds at REDX cost less per ringgit than at the App Store, so the ringgit-to-checkpoint conversion is stronger anyway.
Adakah top-up guna DuitNow atau Boost jalan di REDX?
Ya, boleh. DuitNow is fastest, averaging 1-minute settlement across most Malaysian banks. Card and Boost work as well, though DuitNow avoids the small card fee some banks slip in.
Chou Grind Tips for Petaling Jaya to Kuching
Yamato of TODAK still runs the tightest Chou clinics on his stream; the three-camera POV shows the exact Shunpo timing that saves a stun frame. Local ranked climbers should mirror MPL Malaysia S18 pick trends during the event; Team Vamos and Selangor Red Giants have been rotating Chou into flex-pick territory, and the anniversary skin turns him into a visible priority ban again. Bahasa singkatnya: senang gila kalau ikut daily task, boleh tahan bila stack dengan Layla event 9 Oktober, tak perlu tunggu lama sebab REDX Game deliver Diamond 1–3 minit terus masuk akaun.
Match-night scheduling helps as well. Cheras, Shah Alam Section 13, Georgetown Penang, and Johor Bahru players report the cleanest server ping between 21:00 and 23:00 MYT during Sabtu and Ahad, which is exactly when the MPL Malaysia S18 Selangor Red Giants fixtures usually kick off. Grab your first two puzzle pieces at 05:00 MYT on 18 September, keep the streak alive for 38 days, and Chou "Starforger's Glory" is yours before Halloween. Memang best.
