MLBB Badang Leo Zodiac Skin: 23 July 2026 MYT Guide
Published: 2026-07-21
Badang Leo Zodiac Skin Drops 23 July 2026 in Malaysia
Badang's Leo Zodiac skin lands in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang on Wednesday, 23 July 2026, and stays live for exactly 30 days until 22 August. Malaysian players should see the skin appear in the Zodiac Summon Shop at the SEA server's daily reset, roughly 05:00 MYT (GMT+8). Every time in this guide references Malaysia Time, GMT+8. Confirm the exact drop live in-client before spending Diamonds — Moonton has shifted reset windows during past international events, and MSC 2026 Group Stage kicks off in Paris the day before.
This is the seventh entry in the 2026 Zodiac cycle. Zhask's Cancer skin closes on 22 July, so the Summon Shop swaps its featured hero overnight. As the Fandom Zodiac wiki puts it, "the Zodiac Skin series releases one skin per zodiac sign each month," and Badang Leo takes the July slot without exception.
Selangor Red Giants and Team Vamos have both featured Badang picks in recent MPL Malaysia broadcasts. Expect the Leo skin to appear on ranked ladders across Kuala Lumpur and Penang within hours of the drop. If you want the skin sitting in your loadout before Wednesday evening, budget your Diamonds tonight through the REDX Game Mobile Legends top-up page so the balance lands in your Moonton account the moment the Summon Shop refreshes.

MLBB Zodiac 2026 Calendar: What to Save For Next
Zodiac skins run on a strict monthly rotation. Miss the window and you wait a full year. Here is the confirmed 2026 order, timed to the Malaysian server:
- Cancer (Zhask): 21 June – 22 July
- Leo (Badang): 23 July – 22 August
- Virgo (Odette): 23 August – 22 September
- Libra (Lunox): 23 September – 22 October
- Scorpio (Helcurt): 23 October – 21 November
- Sagittarius (Irithel): 22 November – 21 December
- Capricorn (Martis): 22 December – 19 January 2027
The next four heroes (Odette, Lunox, Helcurt, and Irithel) are all common MPL MY scrim picks out of Petaling Jaya, so planning a two- or three-skin savings run makes real sense. Team Vamos EXP laner Sepat streams Odette regularly, and the Virgo skin should ride his content wave in September. Keep a 3,000-Diamond buffer in your account through a scheduled monthly REDX Game top-up and you will never scramble on drop day again.
How Many Diamonds for a Guaranteed Badang Leo?
Each Zodiac Summon costs 20 Diamonds or 20 Crystal of Aurora. Every pull returns 1 to 5 Star Power. Players need exactly 100 Star Power to claim the featured Zodiac skin, so the summon math depends entirely on your average Star Power per pull.
Assume roughly 3 Star Power per pull, which is the community-tracked long-run mean across the 2023 to 2026 Zodiac cycles. You will need about 34 summons, or 680 Diamonds. Streaks that average 2 per pull push the total to 50 summons and 1,000 Diamonds. A hard-luck ceiling caps at 1,500 Diamonds if every pull hits the minimum. Budget for the middle case: 1,000 Diamonds.
Local pricing tells the real story. Apple's Malaysian App Store lists a 425-Diamond bundle at RM 65. Priced at RM 50, the REDX Game 430-Diamond pack lands five extra Diamonds for RM 15 less. Two refills at RM 50 plus a small filler reach the 1,000-Diamond target for under RM 110 total, with the balance delivered in-game inside 1 to 3 minutes. The App Store path costs closer to RM 155 for the same 1,000 Diamonds, roughly a 40 percent premium on the identical outcome. Compare live pricing on the REDX Game Mobile Legends Diamond page; RM 50, RM 100, and RM 200 bundles all beat the App Store cent-for-cent as of July 2026.
Star Power carries over between Zodiac months, but only if you open the Zodiac Summon Shop every single month. Skip a cycle and your progress resets to zero, an under-documented rule that has burned plenty of Malaysian players who assumed pity was permanent. Open the tab at least once per month even when you have no intent to pull.
Enter the Zodiac Summon Shop in Five Taps
- Log in to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang after 23 July 2026, 05:00 MYT.
- Tap the "Shop" button on the main lobby's top-right corner.
- Swipe left across the top banner until you land on the "Zodiac" tab, marked with a rotating constellation icon.
- Confirm the featured hero reads "Badang" and the skin tile reads "Leo".
- Tap "Summon" to spend 20 Diamonds per pull, or "10x Summon" to spend 200 Diamonds at once. Star Power progress shows below the summon button; hit 100 to claim.
Two Malaysian-server quirks worth flagging. The Zodiac tab occasionally hides behind a maintenance overlay for the first 15 minutes after the daily reset — reload the client if you land on a blank screen. Crystal of Aurora balances take priority over raw Diamonds during a summon; check your balance under Account before you pull if you want to preserve Crystals for future collector events.
Malaysian Grind Tips: KL Cafes, Boleh Tahan Pulls
Kuala Lumpur players report the smoothest Zodiac Summon Shop loads at fibre-backed venues. Cyber Cafe SS15 in Subang, IOI City Mall's Zenith Lounge in Putrajaya, and the Battle Arena PJ branch consistently push under 40 ms to the SEA server. Ipoh and Kuching players on Time or Unifi fibre report similar latency during weekday off-peak windows.
A useful Bahasa cheat for chat: if your pull hits 5 Star Power in one summon, drop "memang best" or "boleh tahan" in team chat. If you brick a ten-summon and get all 1s, "sakit hati sikit" softens the blow and keeps your ranked squad in the right mood for the next match. Small things, but they keep team morale intact through a rough Zodiac cycle.
Badang Leo Skin FAQ
What time does Badang Leo release in Malaysia?
The Zodiac Summon Shop is expected to swap Zhask's Cancer skin for Badang's Leo on Thursday, 23 July 2026 at roughly 05:00 MYT (GMT+8), the standard SEA server daily reset. Moonton has occasionally moved reset windows for global tournaments and MSC 2026 Group Stage begins the same week — confirm the exact drop moment live in-client. All timing in this guide references Malaysia Time.
How many Diamonds do I need for a guaranteed Badang Leo?
Between 680 and 1,500 Diamonds depending on your Star Power draw luck. A 1,000-Diamond budget covers the average case with a little pity room. Bundles on the REDX Game Mobile Legends top-up page typically cover 1,000 Diamonds for around RM 105 to RM 110, versus RM 138 to RM 155 on the Malaysian App Store.
Is Badang Leo a Zodiac or Deluxe skin?
Both. Zodiac is the release channel and Deluxe is the visual tier. Every 2026 Zodiac skin, including Badang Leo, is classified as Deluxe and follows the same 100 Star Power threshold documented on the Liquipedia Badang page.
What is Star Power and how does the summon system work?
Each 20-Diamond summon returns 1 to 5 Star Power. Accumulate 100 Star Power to claim the featured skin. Star Power carries between months only if you open the Zodiac Summon Shop that month; skip and your progress resets to zero. Topping up through REDX Game on a monthly cycle keeps pity intact without a large one-shot spend.
Will Badang Leo return after 22 August 2026?
No confirmed re-run. Zodiac skins have not returned to the Summon Shop after their monthly window in any 2023 to 2026 cycle. If you miss the 30-day window, plan for the annual Star Wishlist event as your only realistic path back.
Can Team Vamos or Selangor Red Giants players use Badang Leo in MPL?
Yes. MPL Malaysia allows any Moonton-released skin. Yamato of TODAK has flexed exclusive skins on stream before, so expect the Leo skin on Selangor Red Giants and Team Vamos broadcasts during MPL MY Season 18.
