MLBB Aulus Starwake Reaver vs Starlight Pass in Malaysia
Published: 2026-08-15
Aulus Starwake Reaver runs 100 Diamonds, but that sticker price is misleading because you cannot buy the Painted variant on its own without owning the pass that gates it. Reaver only appears in your shop after you own the August 2026 Starlight Pass, which is another 300 Diamonds for Basic or 750 for Premium. Total damage: 400 Diamonds minimum for the pair, 850 if you go Premium. That is the number Malaysian players need before deciding.
The Starlight window opened on 1 August 2026 and runs the standard monthly cycle that Moonton has kept steady for years, with Aulus "Starwake Corsair" as the main exclusive and Reaver as the reddish-yellow repaint sitting behind it as a bonus. Two skins, one hero, one month, one bundled deal that only pencils out if you actually play Aulus.
The ringgit math on 400 Diamonds
Basic Starlight (300 Diamonds) plus Reaver (100 Diamonds) equals 400 Diamonds. At the Apple App Store MY, a 250-Diamond pack costs roughly RM 32.90 and a 500-pack roughly RM 65.90, so you would top up the 500-pack and burn roughly RM 65 just to walk away with both cosmetics and 100 Diamonds of change. Not "senang gila" for a cosmetic.
REDX Game direct top-up settles in MYR without the Apple markup and lands in 1–3 minutes (advertised), so the same 500-Diamond credit costs meaningfully less ringgit for identical in-game value, which is the entire reason players in KL, Petaling Jaya and Johor Bahru keep moving off App Store recharges after they run the numbers once. Same 400 Diamonds. Different receipt.
Going Premium instead (750 + 100 = 850 Diamonds) puts you on a 1,000-Diamond pack in one hit, and the Premium tier throws in the Starlight Card Plus perks: extra Fragments, more Chest draws, and the exclusive avatar border. Those marginal 450 Diamonds only earn back if you sit in Aulus games for the month, which most rotating jungle players do not, and REDX Game customers grabbing Premium tend to be committed Starlight subscribers rather than one-off buyers.
Original angle: Reaver's real per-skin cost
Split the bundle honestly and the picture sharpens: Corsair is "free" with the 300-Diamond Starlight buy because everyone owns it once they subscribe, while Reaver is the marginal skin whose 100-Diamond price only exists because Moonton front-loaded the Starlight subscription into the equation. Skip the Pass entirely and Reaver is unreachable. So Reaver's effective cost, if you would not have bought the Starlight otherwise, is the full 400 Diamonds. Berbaloi tak? Only for main Aulus players.

Starwake Corsair vs Starwake Reaver: what actually changes
The two skins share the same model, same rig, same VFX skeleton, so what you get for the extra 100 Diamonds is strictly cosmetic palette work rather than any gameplay-affecting layer. Corsair uses cool-toned cosmic energy on Aulus's axe with a broad-coat silhouette and cleaner hit flashes, while Reaver flips the palette to reddish-yellow as the "battle-worn pirate" repaint. Painted variants in MLBB do not add ability effects or recall animations, and only the base skin's colours change. If you were expecting a second recall or new voice lines, that is not what this is.
Who this bundle is for
- Aulus mains (10+ games this season): the 400 Diamond buy is the cheapest way to own two of his skins in one month.
- Collectors chasing every Starlight: monthly muscle memory. Pay in, own both, move on.
- Casual jungle-only players who touched Aulus twice: skip. Save the 400 Diamonds for a Zodiac draw or the next Epic you actually want.

Full details on the Starlight system live on the Mobile Legends Fandom wiki, and pack contents are stable each month with only the featured skin rotating. That predictability is why REDX Game's MLBB portal sees a Diamond-pack spike on the first day of every Starlight cycle, when Malaysian Aulus mains cash in their monthly cosmetics budget.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Aulus Starwake Reaver without the Starlight Pass?
No, Reaver is locked behind the August 2026 Starlight Pass, and as the Aulus Starwake Corsair coverage notes, the Painted variant "is only available for purchase after you get the August 2026 Starlight Pass", meaning the 100-Diamond price is a member-only rate rather than a standalone SKU that anyone can grab.
How long is the Reaver window open?
The August 2026 Starlight cycle ends when September's Starlight goes live, and Reaver and Corsair rotate out at that point, so you should buy the Pass before the calendar flips or wait roughly 12 months for the Starlight Shop re-run window to bring them back into the pool.
Does Reaver have unique effects like a new recall or ultimate animation?
No. Painted variants only change colours on the base Starlight skin, so model, effects and voice lines match Corsair one-to-one. This is a cosmetic recolour, not a second Special-tier skin.
Is Premium Starlight worth the extra 450 Diamonds for Reaver alone?
No, because you already obtain Reaver from Basic (300) plus 100 = 400 Diamonds, and Premium's extra 450 Diamonds buys Fragment bundles plus extra Chest draws rather than any Reaver upgrade, so if Reaver is the goal the Basic tier is the right buy every time.
What is the cheapest way to top up 400 Diamonds in Malaysia?
Direct top-up sellers priced in MYR, including REDX Game's MLBB top-up page, beat the App Store markup on identical Diamond packs with delivery in 1–3 minutes (advertised). For the exact 400-Diamond target, top up a 500-pack, buy the Pass and Painted, keep the 100 leftover for the next Lucky Chest.
Local tips for Malaysian players
Selangor Red Giants' MLBB roster typically rotates fighter mains, so an Aulus in ranked has become a familiar sight in KL amateur scrims following recent MPL Malaysia patches, and if you are grinding Mythic in Ipoh, Kuching or Shah Alam and Aulus is your jungle pick, the 400-Diamond package is a low-friction cosmetic upgrade for a hero you already run every rotation.
Payment tip: for one-off 400-Diamond runs, an e-wallet route is usually enough, but bigger monthly recharges (say, chasing Reaver plus a Zodiac Summon in the same session) tend to move to bank transfer channels where REDX Game processes larger tickets without extra friction. Murah giler? Only when you skip the App Store markup, because the ringgit gap on 500-Diamond packs is the real story here. Top up via REDX Game's MLBB portal to keep the receipt in MYR.
One caution: never redeem "free Starlight Pass" links from random forums or Telegram groups because they are scams, and Moonton account bans stemming from third-party redeems are non-recoverable. Get your Diamonds from a Malaysian direct top-up seller and let the Pass activate server-side. REDX Game customer support handles the rest.
