When Does MLBB Hanzo Fangs of Slaughter Starlight Drop in Malaysia?
Published: 2026-08-28
Hanzo "Fangs of Slaughter" opens 1 September 2026 at 5:00 pagi MYT
Moonton set the drop for 1 September 2026, 05:00 MYT (GMT+8), a Monday. Malaysian Proxies queueing by 04:55 usually get the buy dialog by 05:02, and Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya and Johor Bahru all pull from the same Global endpoint. All times below are MYT.
The Starlight window closes on 30 September 2026, 23:59 MYT, giving 30 days to hit the 850-point track plus the exclusive Sacred Statue and Trail Effect that debut with this drop. Miss it and Hanzo drops into the Starlight Shop rotation at 3,000 Starlight Fragments per pull, roughly 3 to 4 months of consecutive paid passes to farm.
Yamato of TODAK teased the skin last week: "Fangs of Slaughter memang best, first skill VFX macam betul ada darah." Day-one buy-in is the safe play if you want the Painted variant later.
What the Fangs of Slaughter pass actually contains
This is Hanzo's first Starlight skin since his 2018 release. Every prior Starlight month skipped him. The base pass runs at 300 Diamonds and the Plus track sits at 750 Diamonds, a price Moonton has held since 2022.
- Standard Starlight (300 Diamonds): Hanzo "Fangs of Slaughter" skin, 300 Crystal of Aurora, Starlight Radiant Kit UI overhaul, exclusive Trail Effect, Sacred Statue on the loading screen, plus graffiti, chat bubble and avatar border.
- Starlight Plus (750 Diamonds): Everything above, plus 50 lucky-chest draws at 10 Diamonds each across September, a random Summer skin chest (Hayabusa, Chang'e or Nana) for first-time buyers, and the higher membership tier that boosts EXP and BP in ranked.
- "Fangs of Frenzy" Painted variant (100 Diamonds): Yellowish-blue recolour of the same skin. Members only. Unlocks after you own the base Starlight.
The Sacred Statue provides bonus BP at end of each match. Moonton's official patch page lists it at +5% BP, capped weekly. Add a Trail Effect that draws on minimap movement and the pass earns its keep even for casual players. REDX Game runs the Malaysian rail here: MYR pricing, DuitNow at checkout, delivery in 1 to 3 minutes on the Mobile Legends direct top-up page.
Beginner tips: what to do the first 24 hours
Skip the Starlight Fragments panic and save the 300 Crystal of Aurora bundled with the pass for the Draw Card 10x roll, since the first ten pulls always contain at least one Rare hero fragment worth about 60 Diamonds on trade.
Turn the Sacred Statue on before your first ranked queue. Most new pass-holders leave it in the loading-screen slot but forget the BP toggle under Preparation, then Loadout, then Statue — a mistake Selangor Red Giants coaches keep flagging on stream.
Do the pass missions at your own pace. The 850-point ceiling only needs about 28 daily points, which any casual 4-match player clears without stress. Senang gila if you play nightly. Miss two days and the 10-Diamond weekly bundle covers the gap 22% cheaper per point than buying Points directly.
Real risk: don't buy from resellers pretending to be Starlight vendors
Starlight cannot be gifted, and the pass activates only on the Moonton account that made the purchase, so any listing that says "Starlight for sale, transfer to your ID" is fraud. A wave of these hit Facebook Marketplace during the August Aulus drop, and Bank Negara Malaysia has issued public reminders about e-wallet scams on bnm.gov.my.
The safe rule: pay for Diamonds only and activate the pass yourself in-game. A trustworthy vendor deposits Diamonds straight to your Mobile Legends ID and never asks for your account password. Walk away if a seller wants your Moonton login.
Ipoh and Kuching players sometimes see the pass button greyed out for the first hour of the drop, which is a regional CDN sync issue rather than a fraud red flag. Wait 30 minutes and re-open the shop. Never buy a "workaround" from a third party during that window.
Cost math: 300 Diamonds through REDX vs Google Play
Here is the Malaysian ringgit gap that decides whether the Starlight Pass is a good buy at all.
Moonton's in-game Diamond price via Google Play in Malaysia is RM 22.00 for 296 Diamonds after the 6% SST that Google now itemises on the receipt. You need 300 for the Starlight Pass, so you actually buy the RM 44.00 tier (568 Diamonds), a hard round-up.
REDX Game lists 300 Diamonds at RM 19.35 on the direct top-up rail (298 base plus 2 promo), matching the Starlight pass requirement without any forced overshoot. That is a RM 24.65 saving versus the Google Play round-up, or 56% cheaper for the same 300 Diamonds on the same Global server. On the 750-Diamond Plus track REDX Game lands at RM 48.20 against the RM 88.00 Google Play tier Malaysian buyers otherwise take.
Painted variant math cuts the same way: RM 6.90 direct for 100 Diamonds versus no matching Google Play tier at all (you would buy 152 Diamonds at RM 11.00 and eat the 52-Diamond overshoot). Over a 12-month year the difference funds one full Elite skin.
Step by step: buy Hanzo Starlight through REDX Game
- Open Mobile Legends and copy the full User ID (Server ID) string from your Profile (e.g. 1234567 (2001)).
- Go to the Mobile Legends Malaysia top-up page. Pick 300 Diamonds for the Standard pass or 750 Diamonds for Starlight Plus.
- Paste your User ID and Server ID and double-check the digits, because refunds on wrong IDs need manual support and support queues get long on drop day.
- Pay via DuitNow QR. Boost, Touch 'n Go eWallet and MAE all show up in the DuitNow list at checkout.
- Wait 1 to 3 minutes for the Diamonds to land, then refresh the in-game shop.
- Open the Starlight tab (top-right diamond-crown icon), tap Buy Pass and confirm. The Hanzo skin unlocks in your Inventory instantly and the Trail Effect plus Sacred Statue appear in the Cosmetic slot.
- Complete the day-one mission (win one match) to bank your first 25 pass points as a buffer for missed days later in the month.
Refund window on REDX Game wrong-ID orders is 15 minutes, one of the shorter windows in Malaysian top-up, but the reversal is real.
FAQ: Hanzo Starlight timing and value questions
What time exactly does the Hanzo Starlight Pass unlock in Malaysia on 1 September 2026?
05:00 MYT (GMT+8). Moonton syncs the Global server rollover to the 22:00 UTC daily reset, which is 06:00 MYT for most events. Starlight is the exception at 05:00.
Is 300 Diamonds cheaper on REDX Game or in the Google Play in-game shop?
The direct top-up rail wins. 300 Diamonds costs RM 19.35 versus an effective RM 44.00 round-up in Google Play once you factor the 296-Diamond tier limit and the mandatory jump to the RM 44.00 (568-Diamond) package for Starlight Pass buyers. The saving is RM 24.65 or roughly 56% on a single pass buy.
Do I need to buy the pass on day one to earn everything?
No. The Starlight track is retroactive within the month. Buy on 15 September and any pass points you already accrued count against the 850-point ceiling. Day-one gives you the Sacred Statue BP boost for the full 30 days, which is worth about 1,200 BP.
Is Fangs of Frenzy (100 Diamonds) worth adding on top?
Only if you play Hanzo weekly. It is a recolour with the yellow-blue palette, no new VFX. Casual players get more value from the 10-Diamond lucky chest draws.
Can I gift Hanzo Starlight to a friend on the Malaysia server?
No. The Starlight Pass activates only on the Moonton account that pays for the Diamonds. You can gift a friend the Diamond top-up itself through the REDX Game Malaysia top-up rail by sending them the invoice link, but they must press Buy Pass on their own account.
What happens if I miss 1 to 30 September? Can I still get Hanzo Fangs of Slaughter?
Yes, but at a delay. Starlight skins enter the Starlight Shop rotation around 4 months after their exclusive month. Hanzo Fangs of Slaughter will likely appear around January or February 2027 at 3,000 Starlight Fragments per pull.
Local tips: what Malaysian players actually do on Starlight drop day
Shah Alam and Penang players pre-load MYR into their vendor wallet the night before, which removes the DuitNow authentication step at 05:00 and drops checkout to about 40 seconds. Boleh tahan.
Selangor and Kuala Lumpur players (the ONIC and Team SMG competitive scenes) usually stream the first-hour queue so you can see the skin animation before deciding, so if you are undecided, watch a stream at 05:15 MYT and press Buy by 06:00 to lock the Sacred Statue for the full 30 days.
Kuching and Kota Kinabalu players report 30-minute delays because the East Malaysia CDN hop sometimes reroutes through Singapore, which is a routing quirk rather than a scam. Delivery still hits inside the advertised 1 to 3 minute window regardless of your city.
