5 Steps to Grab Chou Starforger's Glory Free in MLBB Malaysia
Published: 2026-08-29
Chou Starforger's Glory Lands 18 September in Malaysia
The Skin Jigsaw Puzzle for Chou opens at 00:00 MYT on Khamis 18 September 2026 and closes 25 October, giving Malaysian mains 37 days to collect every piece. Nana's Stardust Dreamer drops earlier on 9 September, Chou takes the middle slot, and Layla Prismatic Rhythm queues for 9 October. By mid-October, three free 10th Anniversary skins should sit in your locker. Every time below is MYT (GMT+8).
REDX Game has stocked extra Diamond capacity for the overlap window. A 3-5 minute delivery on the RM 42.90 275 Diamond pack covers the Battle Pass upgrade many KL and Petaling Jaya players use as their Anniversary anchor. The skin itself costs zero Diamonds. Even so, the puzzle event overlaps paid tracks that reward the same currency you'll want for Chou's optional recolours.
How the Anniversary Jigsaw Actually Works
Skin Jigsaw is a mission-collection frame Moonton has already run for Alucard and Layla in earlier anniversary cycles. Each mission drops one puzzle tile. Complete every tile and Chou joins your collection permanently. Missions rotate weekly: some are match-based (win 5 Ranked games as any Fighter or Assassin), some are event-based (log in during Anniversary hours, spend a set number of Battle Points), and a smaller tier are collab or Follow Event style clicks worth two or three tiles at once.
Past cycles landed at roughly 30-40 total tiles across the run. That maps to about 5-7 tiles per week, reachable in 3-5 sittings if you play daily, tighter if you only touch Ranked on Saturday. The Resplendent Dragonshards palette is granted separately. Finishing the puzzle awards base Starforger's Glory, while Anniversary Coins from the Rank Party carry-over stream buy the colour variants without opening your wallet.
Prep Your Account Before the Event Opens
Two housekeeping items make the first weekend smoother. Link your MLBB account to a Moonton Passport if you haven't already, because puzzle progress is tracked server-side per account and a lost Facebook or Google login means a lost skin. Then pre-clear the storage bloat: the 10th Anniversary patch bundled a heavy asset drop, and running the Chou missions on a 32GB phone without breathing room in Shah Alam or Ipoh mamak Wi-Fi has cost more than one player a queue timeout.
Rank matters here too. Puzzle missions that require Ranked wins count from Warrior upward, but they scale, so a Legend tier win completes tiles faster than a Warrior one. If your rank soft-resets after Season 42 launches on 16 September, spend the two-day gap climbing back to Epic before Chou's puzzle opens. GamingonPhone reports that Chou "will be getting a new skin during the Mobile Legends 10th Anniversary event, available for grabs starting September 18th, 2026", so the pre-event lobby should be Epic-heavy from the start.
Diamond Math for the Free-Skin Window
Base skin cost: 0 Diamonds. That is the honest number. Where Malaysian players spend real ringgit is on the parallel tracks: the 10th Anniversary Battle Pass with Nana's Stardust Dreamer path, the Twilight Pass, and any Anniversary draw crates. Here is the ringgit comparison for the packs most mains buy alongside a puzzle grind.
275 Diamonds is the Battle Pass entry tier. That pack sits at RM 42.90 through REDX Game versus RM 54.90 on the App Store MY. So the gap is RM 12 on one purchase. Run it twice for the mid-cycle refills and you have kept RM 24. 706 Diamonds, enough for two Battle Passes and a Twilight tier, prices at RM 108.90 REDX versus RM 139.90 on the App Store, an RM 31 delta. Across the full 37-day puzzle window, a player buying two 706-tier packs pockets RM 62. Sixty-two ringgit is a full Grab from Bangsar to KLIA, or a week of teh tarik and roti canai at any mamak in Bukit Bintang.
REDX Game clears the top-up in 1-3 minutes via DuitNow. That means a puzzle mission stalled waiting for a Twilight Pass tier can be back in play before the next Ranked queue fills. Boost and Touch 'n Go route through the same REDX Game MLBB top-up page when DuitNow is temperamental on your bank app.
FAQ: Chou's 10th Anniversary Skin, Answered
Is Chou Starforger's Glory really free in Malaysia?
Yes. The base skin drops with zero Diamond spend if you complete the Skin Jigsaw Puzzle Chou event by 25 October 2026. Only the optional Resplendent Dragonshards colour variants tie back to Anniversary Coins from adjacent event tracks.
What time on 18 September does the event open in Malaysia?
00:00 MYT (GMT+8). If you are grinding overnight Wednesday, the Ranked queue for tile-clearing missions is typically calmest between 01:00-04:00 MYT before the KL morning shift logs on.
Can I still grab the skin if I start late?
Yes. The event runs 37 days. Even beginning after MPL Malaysia S18 Grand Finals on 8 October leaves 17 days for the final tile push, tight but workable at 4-5 Ranked games a night.
Do I need the Anniversary Battle Pass to finish the puzzle?
No. Every core tile mission is free-to-access. Battle Pass and Twilight Pass are parallel paid tracks that reward Diamonds, coins and Nana's Stardust Dreamer skin, but they do not gate Chou puzzle pieces.
Which heroes count for the Fighter or Assassin mission tiles?
Chou himself counts. So do Fanny, Ling, Aulus, Ruby, Terizla, Yin, and the recently revamped Balmond. If you are rank-climbing on a Marksman main, borrow Ling or Balmond for the puzzle window; the tile completion offsets the tempo dip.
Watch for the Predictable Anniversary Scams
Every free-skin event triggers the same Telegram and TikTok posts in Bahasa: "top up murah Chou skin", "10th Anniversary shortcut", "auto-clear semua missions RM 5". Ignore them. Moonton distributes Anniversary skins through the in-game event only, meaning no third-party server, no injected Diamonds, no modded APK will move your puzzle count. What those links do is drain your Facebook-linked account or your Boost balance, and Moonton's account-recovery queue is slow between now and Season 42.
Tak perlu tunggu lama for a legitimate top-up if you actually want the paid Anniversary passes. REDX Game delivers Diamonds in 1-3 minutes at MYR pricing, invoiced with a real business ID. Murah giler compared to the App Store. Senang gila to pair with the Jigsaw puzzle grind on the same evening. Boleh tahan for a five-week run, especially if your Mobile Legends squad plans the tile grind together instead of solo-queue. REDX Game keeps the ringgit math the same on match day.
