MLBB Badang Leo Zodiac: July 23 Draw Math, Malaysia
Published: 2026-07-11
Moonton's July 2026 Zodiac Summon calendar puts Badang's Leo skin on the shop shelf from 23 July 2026 through 22 August 2026, replacing the Cancer (Zhask) window that closes at midnight on the 22nd. Malaysian pullers who want the golden lion armour for MPL bragging rights face the usual question: how many Diamonds does the guaranteed 100 Star Power really eat? REDX Game hears this from customers in KL, Petaling Jaya, and Shah Alam every Zodiac cycle, so this article runs the math against real REDX MYR pricing and the Apple ID MY App Store rate for the same 706 Diamond pack.
The short answer lands between 1,500 and 2,000 Diamonds, because each Zodiac Summon costs 20 Diamonds while the bundle of five costs 100 Diamonds, working out to roughly 75 to 100 spins before the counter guarantees the featured Leo skin. Malaysian players who top up through the REDX Game MLBB page save around RM 27 to RM 36 across a cycle versus purchasing the same T5 pack through Apple ID MY.
Zodiac Summon Rules: How Badang Leo Enters the Shop
The Zodiac Summon shop swaps its featured hero every thirty-ish days along real-world zodiac dates, and Badang Leo runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 August 2026 exactly, which the Fandom Zodiac page confirms alongside the rest of the 2026 calendar. Only the featured hero counts toward the 100 Star Power target.
Every spin grants 1 to 5 Star Power at random, with a very small chance to kick the counter straight to 100 in a single pull, and single spins cost 20 Diamonds while the x5 bundle prices at 100 Diamonds. Crystal of Aurora tokens work at the same rate for free-to-play grinders in Johor Bahru who prefer to farm rather than burn ringgit on Diamond packs during the current MPL viewing schedule.
Older Zodiac skins in your locker help. Each one you already own adds 10 Star Power to your starting count, capped at 60, which means Malaysian veterans who bought Aquarius through Cancer this year begin the Leo cycle at 60 Star Power and only need 40 more.
Selangor Red Giants coach Sasa mentioned on a recent stream that his junior roster farms Crystal of Aurora from event tokens instead of burning Diamonds. Boleh tahan on the wallet, but that path drags across weeks and rarely finishes before Virgo takes over. Most REDX Game customers just top up, run the pulls in one sitting, and get straight back to ranked queue.
The Leo skin sits in Epic tier, not Collector or Starlight. Golden armour, fiery punches, a lion-mane hairstyle, and a cosmic aura wrap Badang's basic Fighter kit in a heavy visual overhaul.

Badang in the Malaysian Meta: Why the Skin Matters
Badang is a Fighter built around charge-and-burst combat. His passive Chivalry Fist stacks off basic attacks, and after four stacks his next hit stuns anyone shoved into a wall for extended crowd control that opens the follow-up. Skill 2 Fist Break gives him a shielded dash. The ultimate Fist Crack locks a target into a barrage of punches with full control immunity, and the Liquipedia Badang page lists his release date as 15 January 2019 while pegging his esports record at 1,099 wins against 1,185 losses.
His win rate at pro level runs 48.12 percent, which is the skill floor talking. Solo-queue players in Petaling Jaya cafés struggle to land the ultimate lock without a Diggie or Angela set-up first. Duo queue changes the reading: a Chou or Franco frontliner sets up the wall-stun combo cleanly, and most Malaysian ranked climbers pair Badang with either of those two roamers before they attempt an Epic push.
In MPL Malaysia Season 17, three rosters ran Badang in the roam pool. Team Vamos drafted him as a Week 4 counter-pick against Bigetron MY by VIT. Yamato of TODAK teased his re-entry on a Twitch broadcast that later trended on the Falcons Esports subreddit. The Liquipedia MPL MY S17 page also confirms Selangor Red Giants' 4-0 Grand Final sweep over Team Vamos at Stadium Juara in Bukit Kiara, and those replays will feed the Badang draft debate through MPL MY S18.
Tempo suits him. Badang thrives in short-fuse skirmishes at Turtle from 2:00 and at Lord from 8:00 onwards. Malaysian ranked meta rewards early Turtle contest, so Team SMG's aggression pattern from Penang training houses lines up cleanly with that tempo, and if Team Flash picks him up next season the Ipoh viewership numbers will spike again.
Skin equity compounds over time. Every Zodiac skin you already own boosts future summon efficiency by 10 Star Power. Skip Badang Leo now, and Odette Virgo on 23 August will cost roughly 200 extra Diamonds because your starting count stays flat. Memang best decision for collectors: buy Leo during the July window and save on the next cycle.
Ringgit Math for 100 Star Power: REDX vs App Store MY
This is where the original math beats the copy-paste guides. Expected Star Power per Zodiac Summon lands between 2 and 3 points per pull, so hitting 100 from scratch requires about 40 to 50 x5 bundles, which translates to roughly 1,500 to 2,000 Diamonds total. Below is the three-scenario Ringgit ladder built on REDX Game's MLBB top-up page T5 pricing (706 Diamonds for RM 56.90) versus Apple ID MY at 706 Diamonds for RM 69.90.
Scenario A — Lucky pulls, 1,200 Diamonds needed. REDX rate at 8.06 sen per Diamond lands at RM 96.72, while Apple ID MY rate at 9.90 sen per Diamond lands at RM 118.80, so the delta saved from a lucky run comes out to RM 22.08.
Scenario B — Median grind, 1,500 Diamonds. REDX rate: RM 120.90. Apple ID MY rate: RM 148.50. Delta saved: RM 27.60. This is the expected scenario per the Fandom Zodiac summon table.
Scenario C — Cold streak, 2,000 Diamonds. REDX rate lands at RM 161.20, while Apple ID MY charges RM 198.00 for the same Diamond count, and the delta saved after burning through a rough summon streak reaches RM 36.80.
Owning six earlier 2026 Zodiac skins (Aquarius through Cancer) starts you at 60 Star Power, and you then need only 40 more to secure Badang Leo, which drops the median cost to about 600 Diamonds. At the REDX MLBB direct top-up rate that is RM 48.36. Apple ID MY charges about RM 59.40. Tak perlu tunggu lama, and the RM 11 delta easily covers a nasi lemak set at Bukit Bintang after the pull session.
Fast delivery matters for two clock-driven reasons this month. First, the summon window closes on 22 August 2026 sharp, and after that the featured tag rolls straight to Virgo (Odette) for the next cycle. Second, the Zodiac bonus rate only applies while Badang is featured, so any slow-gateway wait shrinks the window for meaningful pulls at the correct multiplier. Payment via FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow QR, and Boost keeps the flow tight from Johor Bahru to Penang.
Six Steps to Fund Your Badang Leo Pulls
- Open REDX Game's MLBB direct top-up page in your browser.
- Grab your MLBB User ID and Zone ID from the in-game Account tab.
- Pick the 706 Diamond T5 pack. It carries the best per-Diamond MYR rate for Zodiac Summon spamming.
- Choose FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow QR, or Boost. All settle instantly with Malaysian bank rails.
- Confirm the order. Diamonds land in your MLBB inbox in 1 to 3 minutes.
- In-game, tap Shop, then Featured, then Zodiac Summon. Confirm Badang Leo is the active hero and spin.
Two 706 Diamond packs cover the median 1,500 Diamond grind, and adding a smaller 86 Diamond top-off buffers against a cold roll. Do not pay Apple ID MY rates when a browser tab and REDX Game are one click away.
FAQ
Q1: When exactly does Badang Leo enter the MLBB Zodiac Summon shop?
A: 23 July 2026, right after Cancer (Zhask) exits on 22 July. The Leo window closes on 22 August 2026 when Virgo (Odette) rotates in.
Q2: How much do I actually pay through REDX for the median 1,500 Diamond grind?
A: About RM 120.90 versus RM 148.50 on Apple ID MY, which is RM 27.60 saved every Zodiac cycle. Kuching pullers running quarterly Zodiac chases stack roughly RM 110 in wallet savings across the year at the current 706 Diamond REDX rate.
Q3: Does owning older Zodiac skins reduce the cost?
A: Yes. Each Zodiac skin you already own adds 10 Star Power to your starting count, capped at 60. Malaysian collectors who own Aquarius through Cancer begin Leo at 60 Star Power, needing only 40 more.
Q4: Can I use Crystal of Aurora instead of Diamonds?
A: Yes, 20 Crystals equal 20 Diamonds per single spin. Free-to-play grinders in Kuching stack Crystals from event tokens across the month. Most casual solo queue players still top up, because Crystal drops rarely exceed 200 to 400 tokens per month.
Q5: Is Badang Leo a Collector, Starlight, or Epic tier skin?
A: Epic tier Zodiac. He shares that space with the twelve monthly zodiac drops. Unlike Collector skins such as Helcurt Kaiju, Zodiac skins do not include hero-specific Collector Points.
Q6: Which MPL Malaysia roster is most likely to pick Badang in S18?
A: Selangor Red Giants and Team SMG both drafted him in S17. Yamato of TODAK has said publicly that Badang fits his Johor Bahru training partner's roam rotation. Watch Team Flash and Team Vamos to counter-draft during the Bukit Kiara qualifiers.
Q7: Does REDX Game deliver during MPL match nights?
A: Yes. Delivery holds at 1 to 3 minutes on FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow QR, and Boost. Senang gila to top up during a Stadium Juara half-time break in Bukit Kiara.
Q8: What if my luck is cold and I burn 2,000 Diamonds without hitting 100 Star Power?
A: The 100 Star Power ceiling is guaranteed, so you never overshoot regardless of pull variance. At 2,000 Diamonds the total sits at RM 161.20 through REDX against RM 198.00 on Apple ID MY. Murah giler for a Collector-grade visual overhaul during MPL match nights at Stadium Juara.
