MLBB Jujutsu Kaisen Return 7 Aug 2026: Malaysia Times & Draw Math
Published: 2026-08-11
Malaysian MLBB players who missed the 2023 Jujutsu Kaisen collab get a second shot. The MLBB × Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration returns Thursday, 7 August 2026 and runs through 11 September, a 35-day window with two Premium Supply phases stacked in between. All four original skins are back: Yin as Yuji Itadori, Julian as Megumi Fushiguro, Melissa as Nobara Kugisaki, and Xavier as Satoru Gojo. Moonton has cleaned up the VFX and shortened the ultimate load times. Every date on this page is Malaysia Time (MYT, GMT+8), matching the client refresh that hits KL, Johor Bahru and Kuching at the same moment.
Pro angle: which JJK skin actually matters in the MY meta
Xavier's Satoru Gojo skin is the one Selangor Red Giants and Team SMG streamers will grind for first. His late-game teamfight AoE is still S-tier in the current MPL Malaysia patch, and the Gojo skin cleans up his particle noise so allies can actually see where the ult lands. Yin's "Yuji Itadori" is second on most MY tier lists. He still gets picked in high-elo Ranked around Petaling Jaya, though he sits below Fredrinn and Chip in the current fighter pool. Julian and Melissa are further behind: Julian rotates in and out of Mythic viability, and Melissa's win-rate hasn't recovered from her nerfs. The MMO Culture leaks summary put it plainly, describing the drop as "all four original skins returning with visual optimisation", per the August 2026 patch breakdown on MMO Culture. If you only chase one skin, make it Gojo. Boleh tahan for RM prices, really.
Full 35-day event calendar
Malaysian players get the same reset schedule as the rest of SEA. Draw shops, Premium Supply pages and the Crest Exchange all refresh with the daily server tick at 05:00 MYT.
- 7 Aug 2026 (Thu): Collab menu opens. Log-in gift, first free draw, and the Crest Exchange goes live.
- 14 Aug 2026 (Thu): Premium Supply Phase 1 begins. Up to about 29 free draw tokens are obtainable through daily missions across the phase.
- 21 Aug 2026 (Thu): Premium Supply Phase 2 begins. Second batch of roughly 29 free tokens, plus the collab-themed Rank Party overlaps.
- 28 Aug 2026 (Thu): Aspirants Unite resale window overlaps. Do not confuse the two crest currencies, they are separate.
- 11 Sep 2026 (Thu): Collab ends at 04:59 MYT. Any unspent collab crests are stripped from your inventory.
The dates above are drawn from Moonton's in-client teaser and cross-checked against the MLBB × Jujutsu Kaisen entry on the Mobile Legends Wiki, which documents the original 2023 collab structure that this return copies almost verbatim.
Draw math in ringgit: what four skins actually cost
Each collab draw costs 60 Diamonds. The prior JJK collab settled at roughly 900 Diamonds per skin on average through the pity plus exchange system, which puts the full four-skin sweep near 3,600 Diamonds if you spend zero free tokens. Two Premium Supply phases can shave that down. Clear both phases and you pull in around 58 free tokens, worth roughly 3,480 Diamonds of equivalent draw value, on top of daily log-in draws. Now the sweep drops closer to 2,000 to 2,500 paid Diamonds, which lands in the RM 100 to RM 130 range at REDX Game depending on which top-up tier you catch. Chasing just Xavier's Gojo? Budget one skin's worth of exchange currency, roughly 900 Diamonds, which lands around RM 45 to RM 55 in MYR against a mid-tier top-up promo. Compare that to buying Diamonds through the in-game Apple Pay pipe: at the RM 50 tier, App Store typically returns around 425 Diamonds, versus roughly 430 for the same ringgit at REDX Game's MLBB top-up page. That gap looks small on a single top-up. Stacked across a 35-day collab, however, and multiplied by every 60-Diamond draw a Malaysian player runs during peak nights, it works out to something like an extra 8 to 10 free pulls at the same MYR outlay you were already committed to spending.
How to top up and draw without wasting ringgit
- Open a REDX Game order first, not the in-game shop. Head to the MLBB Malaysia top-up page, punch in your MLBB ID and Zone, and pick the Diamond tier that matches the draws you need. Delivery is advertised at 1 to 3 minutes.
- Pay in MYR via DuitNow. Malaysian bank transfer through DuitNow settles instantly and skips the App Store's USD conversion loss. TNG eWallet is the backup if your bank is doing maintenance.
- Watch the Diamond counter in-game, then open the collab menu. Draw in the sequence that triggers the pity guarantee first. Once you are past the free daily, use the 10-draw bundle instead of singles, so the pity counter climbs faster.
- Convert to Crest Exchange only for the skin you actually want. Crests do not roll over past 11 Sep 2026. Any unspent Diamonds do, but crests are gone the moment the shop closes.
- Skip the second Premium Supply if you already own three of the four. Diminishing returns hit hard after the third skin. The last one usually needs another paid top-up that costs more, in ringgit, than the skin itself is worth to a Ranked-only player.
Frequently asked questions
What time does the MLBB × Jujutsu Kaisen collab go live in Malaysia?
The collab menu opens with the daily server refresh at 05:00 MYT on Thursday, 7 August 2026. That is the same tick that resets your daily quests and the log-in gift, so signing in a few minutes before 05:00 MYT lets you grab both without racing the queue.
Are the returning JJK skins any different from the 2023 originals?
Yes, in a modest way. Moonton confirmed direct visual optimisations across all four skins, sharper VFX, cleaner hitboxes, and faster ultimate load times, per MMO Culture's early August 2026 leaks breakdown. Kit stats and skill mechanics are unchanged from the 2023 versions.
How much does the full four-skin sweep cost in ringgit?
Drain both Premium Supply phases and clear the daily free draws, and plan for roughly RM 100 to RM 130 at REDX Game on paid Diamonds on top of the free tokens. Skipping the supply phases pushes the sweep closer to RM 180 to RM 200. Chase only Xavier's Gojo and the budget drops to around RM 45 to RM 55.
Can I buy the specific JJK skin I want directly?
Only through the Crest Exchange, and only after you have drawn enough to bank the crests. There is no one-tap direct purchase for a chosen skin in the collab shop. The game forces the draw loop first before letting you swap crests for the exact skin.
Will REDX Game deliver my Diamonds fast enough for the 7 Aug launch?
The service advertises 1 to 3 minute Diamond delivery on the MLBB Malaysia top-up page, with DuitNow, Boost and FPX as MYR payment options accepted at checkout for Malaysian players. For the 05:00 MYT launch window on 7 Aug, ordering the night before is the safe move if you would rather not fight the launch-morning traffic.
Do the free draws from Premium Supply count toward the pity and exchange counter?
Yes. Free draws from Premium Supply and daily missions add to your crest total and your pity count exactly the same as paid draws. That is what makes clearing both supply phases genuinely worthwhile, because the free draws effectively subsidise the paid tail of the sweep.
Local warning for KL, JB and Penang players
Two closing notes for the Malaysian side of this collab. First, the practical one: peak load on 7 Aug hits at exactly 05:00 MYT, which happens to be when Astro Fibre in KL and JB tends to schedule its nightly maintenance restart. If your ping goes to sleep at 04:55, tether to Celcom or Maxis mobile data for the first log-in, then swap back once the fibre link is stable. Second, the risk one, and this one has burned Malaysian players in every prior collab. The Crest Exchange system nukes any unspent collab crests when the shop closes at 04:59 MYT on 11 September. Every JJK-style collab so far has left Malaysian rank grinders with 200 to 300 wasted crests, hoarded for a fifth phase that never came. Spend them. Grand collection guarantees do not roll over past 04:59 MYT on 11 September 2026, and the crest counter resets to zero the instant the shop's countdown flips over that night in KL. If it is your first anime-collab draw and you are unsure how to time the phases, order a small starter top-up at REDX Game first. RM 30 buys enough Diamonds to draw twice and see how the exchange counter moves before you commit real money to the sweep. Senang gila to test the loop that way, and it beats guessing.
