MLBB Argus Raiden Maru Malaysia Time: When Does the Skin Drop?
Published: 2026-08-28
Argus rolls into the Land of Dawn on 1 September 2026 with "Raiden Maru", the second Titans-themed mecha suit from Moonton's Exquisite Collection line. SEA server maintenance for the September rotation typically starts around 05:00 MYT (GMT+8), which is when Malaysian players see the new banner tab appear on their client. All timings in this guide use MYT unless noted.
The pull sits in the Collector tier. Preview footage from Moonton's official channels shows a katana-armed samurai mech with a red plasma core. The visual overlay rides on Argus's crit-focused fighter kit. It is not a full model rework.
Patch Impact: What Raiden Maru Actually Changes on the Rank Ladder
Collector skins in MLBB do not add stats. They repaint animations, hit-sound cues, and the ultimate flourish. That still matters for competitive players. A distinct silhouette on Argus's "Warring Frenzy" ultimate lets rival junglers disengage half a second faster; skilled opponents in Mythic and Legend lobbies genuinely read those cues.
For Argus mains grinding to Mythical Honor before the next revamp cycle tightens the meta, Raiden Maru also brings new Exquisite Collection voice barks in JP and EN. Selangor Red Giants drafters benched Argus during Season 17. A fresh Collector often nudges a hero back into fight comps for MPL Malaysia Season 18 scrimmages.

The September Event Calendar for Malaysian Players
Three MLBB dates matter for the September window:
- 1 Sept 2026 — Argus "Raiden Maru" Exquisite Collection opens; first 10x draw carries a permanent 50% discount.
- 4 Sept 2026 — 10th Anniversary Battle Pass goes live; Nana "Stardust Dreamer" free-track skin sits at roughly 2,590 Anniversary Coins.
- 18 Sept 2026 — Chou "Starforger's Glory" reward window opens on the Anniversary Coin exchange.
Aspirants Unite 2.0 and 3.0 bingo, which opened 28 August, keeps running through mid-September in parallel. Anyone who bought draws early to farm bingo tokens can carry that momentum straight into Raiden Maru pulls.
Ringgit Math: Draw Cost, First-Pull Discount, Break-Even
Exquisite Collection draws burn Crystals of Aurora. That is one of MLBB's premium currencies. A single draw is 270 Crystals; a 10x pull is 2,700. First-time 10x drops to 1,350 Crystals thanks to the built-in half-price. Moonton has confirmed a permanent reward within the first 10 draws, so a worst-case ten-pull still leaves a lower-tier collectible in the bag.
Convert to ringgit: 275 Diamonds buy 270 Crystals via the daily exchange, so one full-price 10x runs about 2,750 Diamonds. At REDX Game's Mobile Legends Diamond rate, that lands near RM 155. The Apple App Store equivalent bundle for the same diamond count sits closer to RM 195. That is roughly RM 40 per 10x that never leaves a Kuala Lumpur wallet.
Assume a push to soft-pity. That is about five draws before the guarantee and five after for the featured Collector target. Budget RM 300 to RM 450 in Diamond conversion when the top-up sits on REDX Game. App Store buyers spending the same block cross RM 400 quickly. That gap compounds if the same player also intends to farm Nana's free skin path, since the Anniversary Coin route still costs Magic Wheel spins.

Rows above use the publicly listed Moonton MYR pricing on iOS as the App Store baseline; the MLBB Diamond page on REDX Game lists the corresponding MYR direct top-up amounts. Delivery is 1 to 3 minutes according to the product page, and MYR-only checkout supports DuitNow QR for Petaling Jaya and Johor Bahru wallets that would rather avoid overseas card fees.
FAQ: Raiden Maru, Draw Rates and Malaysia Timing
What time does Argus "Raiden Maru" go live on the SEA server?
Moonton usually brings the Exquisite Collection tab online during SEA server maintenance around 05:00 MYT on the release day. The 1 September 2026 opening should follow that pattern. If the client has not refreshed after 06:00 MYT in Kuching or Kuala Lumpur, force-close and reopen it.
Is Raiden Maru a Collector or a Legend skin?
Collector tier. Moonton's official sneak-peek on 25 August called it "the second Titans-themed mecha suit skin, a perfect fusion of a hardcore mecha design and samurai culture." Same rarity bracket as prior Titans skins like Alucard "Obsidian Blade".
How much do you need to spend on REDX Game to guarantee the skin?
Budget RM 300 to RM 450 in Diamond conversion for a comfortable draw. That covers roughly ten pulls including the 50% first-10x discount, which is where most players hit the featured Collector. Buying in one larger bundle rather than three smaller tops saves ringgit per Diamond.
Can you skip the draws and buy Raiden Maru outright later?
Not during Exquisite Collection. Moonton locks the skin to the draw pool for the September window; direct resales, when they appear at all, land months later at higher effective diamond prices. Ipoh players who missed the August Kadita rotation learned this the hard way.
Does topping up on REDX Game affect Anniversary Battle Pass progress?
Yes. Anniversary Coins for Nana "Stardust Dreamer" credit against Diamond spend inside the anniversary window regardless of the top-up channel. Deliveries from REDX Game count identically to App Store purchases, and the RM-to-Coin ratio favours the cheaper source.
Local Tips: Timing Your Raiden Maru Draw From KL, Penang and Kuching
Boleh tahan is the mood among Argus mains in Kuala Lumpur and Shah Alam this week. A few habits keep the September rotation smooth. Set an alarm for 04:45 MYT if a day-one 10x pull is the plan; the Exquisite Collection tab opens with the server, and the 50% first-pull discount stacks with any daily 30% Diamond bonus that resets at 04:00. Kuching players on slower peninsular routing sometimes see the tab appear 30 to 90 seconds later — refresh, never restart the client mid-load.
Murah giler applies to buying Diamonds in a single larger bundle rather than three smaller ones. Fewer conversion steps mean fewer rounding losses on the Crystal exchange. Payment-wise, DuitNow QR clears in seconds and is the default for most Petaling Jaya and Bangsar players; Boost and Touch 'n Go eWallet are equally accepted at REDX Game's MLBB checkout if that is the wallet already balanced. Keep the sales receipt handy in case Moonton's support asks for proof of purchase during a draw dispute later in the month.
