MLBB Chou Anniversary Skin Malaysia Time: Jigsaw Puzzle Guide, Sep 2026
Published: 2026-09-22
Kickoff dates in MYT: mark 18 September to 25 October 2026
Chou's Starforger's Glory dropped in-game on 18 September 2026 at server reset, and the Skin Jigsaw Puzzle event that hands it out for free closes on 25 October 2026 at 23:59 MYT (GMT+8, so Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Kuching share the same clock). Players in Malaysia have 37 days to complete the mission board, no diamond purchase, no shop bundle. Assemble the puzzle inside that window or the skin locks away. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is, per the Wikipedia lead, "a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed and published by Moonton", and this is its biggest 10th Anniversary giveaway. Miss the deadline and there is no late diamond backdoor, because the puzzle simply closes and Moonton has not opened a fallback shop bundle for Special-tier anniversary skins in prior years either. So a straight answer for anyone who does not want to read the rest: log in daily, work the mission list below, and the Special-tier skin lands by mid-October at the latest. Adakah it worth the effort? Yes: you trade roughly 10 hours of daily-mission grind for a skin that would otherwise clear 749 diamonds, and REDX Game sells the tier that covers it for around RM 65 in ringgit.

Season 42 is what shipped alongside
The Skin Jigsaw was not a stand-alone drop. It launched together with Ranked Season 42, the 10th Anniversary special season, which went live at the same 16 September server tick and added a free season-exclusive skin, avatar borders and profile background effects on top of the puzzle. Popol and Kupa's "Flamehide Thane" is the ranked-tier reward, and Chou is the puzzle prize. Masha received a full ability rework alongside the visual pass, so the meta shifted the same week: brawler-tank Masha now competes with jungle Karrie and Chou for solo-lane draft priority. If you plan to run the new Chou skin, know that his kit did not change. Masha's did. Paquito, Badang, Luo Yi, Clint, Kadita and Brody all received visual improvements too, which makes the Season 42 revamp list unusually deep for a mid-cycle patch.
How to actually finish the puzzle
The Skin Jigsaw is not one puzzle you drop pieces into whenever. It is a mission board with daily-locked and event-locked tasks, and the pieces trickle out only as you complete them. Here is the routine that works in Malaysia given the average KL commute:
- Open the anniversary panel every login before you queue. A subset of daily tasks reset at 05:00 MYT, and if you tap the board late, you shave a full mission off that day.
- Play at least one Classic match. Ranked and Brawl count for their own brackets, but the daily piece often sits behind a Classic requirement.
- Finish one Ranked match, even a loss, because ranked mission pieces stack every day of the 37-day window.
- Tap through the event mission list before you log out. A few pieces are one-time-only and easy to forget.
- Place pieces as they drop. Do not hoard them for the last day; a couple of slot pieces are locked behind assembling earlier ones first.
Why you cannot save pieces for the final week
Miss five daily mission days across the window and you are already short. That is the whole trick of this event. It looks generous at 37 days but the piece drip is slower than the mission list suggests. Reset your daily rhythm around it.
What the free skin is worth in ringgit
A Special-tier skin in MLBB retails at 749 diamonds. On the REDX Game diamond ladder that lands inside the 1112-diamond pack at RM 65, with 363 diamonds change on top. The equivalent tier on the Apple App Store, once Apple's 30% take is applied against Bank Negara Malaysia's roughly 4.08 MYR/USD reference rate, prices closer to RM 79 for the same pack. So the puzzle skin is genuinely worth RM 50 in ringgit terms, and closer to RM 60 if you would have bought it via App Store. Boleh tahan for what is essentially five weeks of showing up daily. If Chou is not your main and you would rather buy a different anniversary skin during the window, REDX Game keeps MYR-only tiers with delivery in one to three minutes on the same DuitNow QR and TNG eWallet rails that PayNet operates nationwide.
Where players in Malaysia get tripped up
Three mistakes come up every anniversary. First, missing tasks over the Deepavali weekend (10-11 October 2026 falls inside the window), because families travel and the daily reset does not care. Second, running only Brawl to farm dailies, when a chunk of the pieces require Classic or Ranked wins. Third, waiting for the "one-tap complete" popup at the end. There is no popup. If your final slot needs a piece from a mission you never opened, you finish the event with 31 out of 32 pieces and no skin. Log in over the Petaling Jaya morning teh tarik on 25 October and the puzzle has already closed. Cara paling selamat: set a phone reminder for 22:00 MYT every night from now till 25 October.
FAQ: Chou skin timing, cost and safety
Boleh dapat Chou skin ni percuma ke?
Yes. Complete the Skin Jigsaw Puzzle by 25 October 2026 at 23:59 MYT and Starforger's Glory lands in your inventory with zero diamond spend. No shop bundle sits behind it.
What time does the daily reset happen in Malaysia?
MLBB's daily server tick is 05:00 MYT (GMT+8). Missions that reset "at daily" clock over then, so a Johor Bahru player finishing a match at 04:50 loses that day's window.
What if I miss the deadline?
You lose the skin. Moonton has not opened a late diamond purchase for Special skins from puzzle events, and no back-catalogue store rerun is scheduled. It becomes unobtainable unless a future anniversary brings it back.
Adakah the skin transferable across accounts?
No. It binds to the account that completes the puzzle. If you juggle a main and a smurf, run the daily on the main only.
Is topping up diamonds during the event safe in Malaysia?
Yes, if you use a licensed local reseller. REDX Game runs on Malaysian payment rails with MYR-only pricing, and delivery lands inside three minutes on DuitNow QR, TNG eWallet, Boost and FPX for the MLBB Diamonds tier.
Local reads: MPL MY Season 18 and the anniversary week
MPL Malaysia Season 18 sits deep into regular-season play right now. The split runs 14 August to 25 October before playoffs at Stadium Juara in Bukit Kiara from 28 October to 1 November 2026, per Liquipedia's Season 18 page. Selangor Red Giants, Team SMG, TODAK and the rest of the Malaysian rosters usually field Chou in the solo lane, so watching the pros pilot the new-look kit while you grind your own puzzle pieces at home is honestly the best free build guide REDX Game readers get this month. Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Ipoh, Penang, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu: every server region in Malaysia sits on the same MYT clock, so the mission reset behaves identically wherever you log in. Senang gila to sort the top-up before the playoffs weekend if you also want a fresh Season 42 pass. Murah giler on the mid tiers versus the App Store gap noted above, and REDX Game runs MYR-only checkout so no FX creep on the final receipt.
