MLBB Season 42 & 10th Anniversary: Diamond Price Verdict for Malaysia
Published: 2026-09-22
REDX Game charges RM 118.90 for 2,195 MLBB diamonds. Apple's 2,000-diamond bundle sits at RM 137.90 the same day, a RM 19.00 gap on a smaller pack. Season 42 opened at 5.00 pm MYT on 16 September 2026, Patch 2.2.16 shipped alongside it, and Chou "Starforger's Glory" drops on the Skin Jigsaw Puzzle on 18 September, free if you grind the missions. If you plan to buy anything this month, the tier to pick is the 520-pack. This page shows the ringgit math behind that call, and the two tiers that Malaysian players still overpay for.

Season 42 landed on 16 September and reset the whole grind
Season 42 kicked off at 5.00 pm MYT on 16 September 2026, ending Season 41 and resetting every player's rank, star reward and Starlight cycle. Moonton dressed the season in a 10th-anniversary theme, as noted in the Wikipedia entry for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. The headline carrot is Chou's tenth-anniversary skin, "Starforger's Glory". It arrives on 18 September through the Skin Jigsaw Puzzle event and, per Dot Esports, needs "no Diamonds required" to earn. Any player topping up in Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya can save the price of the Chou skin outright by doing the missions.
What the event does cost you is time. Puzzle pieces come from playing matches, and the window closes 25 October. Miss it and the skin is gone; no top-up rescues you. So the diamonds you buy this month should target the paid rewards that are actually locked to the anniversary window: the Season 42 Elite Pass, Starlight for September (Hanzo "Fangs of Slaughter"), the Aspirants rerun bundles. Not the Chou skin.
Patch 2.2.16 buffed 12 heroes — which ones justify a diamond spend?
Argus is the standout. He came into 2.2.16 already at roughly a 54.7% win rate and under 1% ban rate, and the patch raised his crit chance floor to 30% at level one so his passive fires far more often. If Argus is your main and you were sitting on the fence about the Season Elite Pass, this is the patch to buy it. Aldous also gained a faster passive shield and Skill 1 stack build, and Kaja was reworked into the "Nazar King" with a flying Skill 2 called Soaring Wings and an area-restraint Ultimate called Divine Binding. The mlbbhub patch summary describes the change bluntly: "12 buffs, 6 nerfs, 2 reworks". Hanabi's bounce damage on repeated targets was cut by 30%, and roaming Sun's Doppelganger was reined in through reduced damage and gold value. Buying a skin for a nerfed hero right now is money set on fire.
The six ringgit tiers, ranked by sen per diamond
Cheapest per diamond is the 5,600-pack at about 3.13 sen; the worst is the 100-pack at roughly 5.00 sen; the sweet spot for most Malaysian MLBB players is the 520-pack at about 3.27 sen. Here is the ladder in words. The 100-diamond tier lands around RM 5.00, and it is the worst rate you can buy at. Next step up, the 310-diamond tier at roughly RM 12.00 works out to 3.87 sen each, and it is the tier most Ipoh and Johor Bahru players default to because it clears the Starlight cost of 300 diamonds. Move up one step to the 520-diamond tier (about RM 17.00) and you save 15% on every diamond, plus you have change left for a Weekly Diamond Pass without a second transaction.
The 1,060 and 2,180 tiers hover around 3.30 and 3.21 sen respectively; worth it only if you already know you want a full paid skin plus the Elite Pass. At the top, the 5,600-diamond tier lands near RM 175 at about 3.13 sen per diamond, but the drop-off from 2,180 is marginal. And here is the ringgit-versus-Apple gap that keeps the REDX Game order page busy: the App Store charges RM 137.90 for 2,000 diamonds, while REDX Game delivers 2,195 diamonds for RM 118.90. That is 5.42 sen per diamond against Apple's 6.90, or 21.4% cheaper, and the 520 tier hits the same rate without asking you to spend RM 100 in one go. Berbaloi ke? Yes, but only if the 520 tier is where you stop. Do the arithmetic across a season: three 2,195-pack REDX Game top-ups at 5.42 sen per diamond buy you 6,585 diamonds; three matched Apple 2,000-packs at 6.90 sen per diamond, only 6,000. That gap of 585 diamonds is enough for an extra 310-pack. One free Starlight roll per season. Compound that across a year.
Anniversary calendar: what to spend on between 16 September and 25 October
Between now and 25 October, spend on the Chou jigsaw first (free), September Starlight second (300 diamonds), Elite Pass third (250 diamonds), and skip Hanabi or Sun skins entirely. Run the Chou jigsaw missions daily; the skin is worth 749 diamonds if you were going to buy it, so treat the 20 minutes a day as a RM 24 return. Decide on Starlight for September before it rolls over on 1 October: Hanzo "Fangs of Slaughter" ships as the featured Starlight skin at 300 diamonds via membership. If Argus, Aldous or Lukas is your main, the Elite Pass is the best value ceiling this month. Do not sink diamonds on a Hanabi or Roaming Sun skin between now and the next patch. Murah giler for the 520-pack, memang best for the free Chou skin, so long as you buy in that order.
Frequently asked questions from Malaysian MLBB players
Berapa harga 310 diamond MLBB di Malaysia?
Around RM 12 through REDX Game, which is 3.87 sen per diamond and enough to clear the 300-diamond Starlight cost with 10 diamonds left over. The App Store equivalent is closer to RM 15, a RM 3 markup for the same 310 credits.
Adakah Chou Starforger's Glory perlu diamond?
No. The skin is a Skin Jigsaw Puzzle reward from 18 September through 25 October. You collect pieces through daily missions and assemble the skin without spending diamonds; Dot Esports notes "no Diamonds required" for the event. What costs diamonds is missing the window entirely.
How do I pay for MLBB diamonds with Touch 'n Go eWallet or DuitNow QR?
On the REDX Game MLBB order page, pick your diamond tier, choose Touch 'n Go eWallet or DuitNow QR at checkout, scan, and the diamonds land in your account within 1 to 3 minutes. FPX bank transfer and Boost are on the same screen. Tak perlu tunggu lama.
Is the Patch 2.2.16 Argus buff worth topping up for?
If Argus is your main and you climb ranked, yes. His crit-chance floor of 30% at level one plus the passive change makes him meaningfully stronger. Get in via the Season 42 Elite Pass at 250 diamonds.
When does Season 42 end and Season 43 start?
Season 42 kicked off on 16 September 2026 at 5.00 pm MYT with the 10th-anniversary theme. Moonton has not published the Season 43 date, but MLBB seasons run 12 to 14 weeks on average, which places Season 43 in early to mid-December 2026. Plan your Elite Pass spend around that window.
Payment methods and delivery for Malaysian players
REDX Game supports Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow QR, Boost, FPX and card payments, every mainstream Malaysian rail. The delivery window advertised on the site is 1 to 3 minutes; on a Shah Alam or Kuching connection at 8 pm on a Saturday, expect the upper end. If you are new, start with the 100-pack once to test the delivery flow into your MLBB ID before you spend RM 118.90 on the 2,195-pack. The MLBB order page at REDX Game shows the full ladder in ringgit; the PayNet DuitNow guide covers the QR-code side if you have not used it before.
Two closing rules for the anniversary window. One, do not skip the Chou jigsaw; it is the highest-value Chou skin Moonton has ever handed out for free. Two, cap yourself at the 520-tier per top-up unless you have already decided on the Elite Pass. A supporter of Selangor Red Giants in Penang saves an average of RM 19 per top-up cycle by holding the line there instead of jumping to Apple's 2,000-diamond bundle.
