REDX vs App Store: Balmond Vulcan Lionheart MLBB Price in Malaysia
Published: 2026-08-21
The August 2026 Exquisite Collection closes at 23:59 MYT (GMT+8) on 31 Ogos. That leaves ten days from today, 21 Ogos 2026, for Malaysian players to pull Balmond Vulcan Lionheart before Moonton retires the banner. This is Balmond's second Collector skin and the first entry in the new Titan mecha series, sitting well above his usual Frost Warlord tier. Pack choice matters more than draw luck here. A ringgit gap between REDX Game and the Apple App Store on the exact packs a Titan draw path needs is wider than most Malaysian players notice.
REDX vs App Store: the ringgit gap on draw-ready packs
Same diamonds, two very different receipts. Apple charges Malaysian card holders the standard MYR-tier pack price with the MyIR surcharge already baked in above the sticker, which is why a 500-diamond top-up on iOS often looks pricier than the same value bought through a Malaysian web reseller. Meanwhile the REDX Game MLBB top-up page runs a straight ringgit-to-diamond rate.
- RM 50 at REDX returns 430 Diamonds; RM 65 through the App Store returns 425 Diamonds. Five diamonds more for RM 15 less.
- 1,155 Diamonds costs RM 87.90 through Apple; the same neighbourhood on REDX sits closer to RM 66, roughly a 25% gap on one pack alone.
- 2,360 Diamonds on the App Store lands at RM 175.90; the REDX equivalent sits nearer RM 130, freeing RM 45 for another 10x draw window.
Same skin pool. Different amount of ringgit at the counter. That buffer is the difference between one 10x draw and two on a Titan skin, and Vulcan Lionheart's diamond pool moves fast at 30% off the first 10x and 50% off the first single each day.
How many diamonds does Vulcan Lionheart actually cost?
Between 2,500 and 3,500 diamonds with the daily discounts stacked, and up to 5,000 without. That range comes from Moonton's Exquisite Collection design: no fixed hard pity, but repeats convert to Regal Coins that let you close out the Titan pool. GameMarket.gg's draw guide summarises it directly: "Estimated total: 2,500–3,500 diamonds with daily discounts and task completion; up to 5,000 without optimization" (GameMarket.gg).
Map that to ringgit. A 2,500-diamond spend on the App Store runs about RM 185 across two packs. The same 2,500 through REDX Game tops up closer to RM 140, and a ten-day drip of one 50%-off single draw slices another 5-10% off the effective price. A KL player who funds the whole run through REDX rather than Apple keeps roughly one Kadita "Anthem of the Tides" Elite skin's worth of ringgit in the bank.
Balmond mecha meta: does the Titan splash actually change how he plays?
The splash is cosmetic; the impact is psychological. Balmond opens Season 36 with a 51.8% win rate at Legend and above per Moonton's latest balance report on mobilelegends.com, and the 5 Ogos Kaja revamp did not shift his Slaughterhouse combo. What Vulcan Lionheart does change is draft optics — Balmond mains now telegraph a Collector-tier commitment, which one MPL analyst called "a soft blue-flag" during Selangor Red Giants' MPL MY Season 18 press round (MMO Culture). SRG have kept Balmond on their jungle-flex pool against ONIC PH's split-push comps. Team SMG's Petaling Jaya scrim reels this week show two Falcons-style dive setups built around his ultimate.
Boleh tahan for a hero that Moonton originally patched into a support-jungle role three years ago and has since drifted back toward a mid-tier tank-fighter identity through incremental Frost Warlord tuning across Season 32 and 34. The mecha model does not affect hitbox size, projectile arcs or animation frames. Moonton confirmed this on the Advanced Server 2.2.06 changelog. So expect no early-Aulus-style animation-buff surprise hiding under the paint job.
Where Malaysian players lose diamonds during Collector month
Two traps show up every August. First, third-party "guaranteed pull" reseller pages that ask for your Moonton account credentials. Those are account bans in slow motion, not shortcuts. Second, the 5-Diamond "cheap shop" pop-up bundle that started on 5 Ogos, which is legit but silently eats the diamonds you were saving for Vulcan Lionheart if you tap through it half-asleep.
The safe path is boringly simple. Top up your MLBB ID directly through a licensed Malaysian channel like REDX Game using DuitNow, Touch 'n Go eWallet or Boost. No login handover, no OTP relay, MYR receipt in hand. The 1-3 minute advertised delivery is the same window it has been all year. Ipoh players in particular flagged fake Telegram "diamond seller" DMs last week; report and block, because murah giler bait for a Titan skin usually is not murah at all.
Balmond Vulcan Lionheart FAQ
When does the Vulcan Lionheart banner end in Malaysia time?
23:59 MYT on 31 Ogos 2026. Moonton's official announcement lists the window as 08/01 - 08/31 on the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang X account. The in-game countdown timer follows the same MYT bracket.
Is there a hard pity for Vulcan Lionheart draws?
No fixed pity number is published. Every draw earns event tokens, and duplicates convert to Regal Coins that are exchangeable during the event for Collector-tier picks. Budget for the 3,500-diamond middle case, not the 5,000-diamond bad-luck ceiling.
Can I refund Exquisite Collection draws if I do not pull the skin?
Diamond spends inside the event are not refundable through Moonton or Apple. That is the strongest argument for pacing draws across the ten days you have left, rather than dumping everything into a single big-spend session.
Does topping up on REDX Game work for the same in-game event?
Yes. Diamonds are diamonds once they land in your MLBB account, so a REDX top-up counts identically for the Vulcan Lionheart pool as an App Store one. Only the ringgit you paid to get there is different.
Is Vulcan Lionheart the same tier as Aulus Starwake Corsair?
No. Aulus Starwake Corsair is a Starlight Pass skin at 300 Diamonds. Vulcan Lionheart is a Collector-tier draw event with the pricing and rarity that implies. Different budgets, different value calls.
Ten-day plan for KL, Petaling Jaya and Johor Bahru players
Anchor the run around three checkpoints so the discounts do the heavy lifting. On day one, top up the smallest pack that opens both the 50%-off single draw and one 30%-off 10x. That alone converts about 3,000 diamonds of face value into roughly 2,300 spent. By day five, refill the mid-tier pack and burn the second 10x window. Day nine is the final window: top up the last gap and drain the remaining 50%-off dailies to close out Regal Coins.
Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam cyber-cafés run quieter mid-week if you would rather push all 20-plus draws on a stable line rather than trust a home Unifi connection during peak evening congestion on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Johor Bahru players on Maxis 5G report the fastest hop to the MLBB Singapore cluster after midnight MYT. That matters less for the pull itself and more for the queue right before it. Senang gila to fund the whole plan through REDX Game with Boost or DuitNow before the clock ticks past 31 Ogos.
