Valorant Kingdom Credits vs VP: Malaysia Guide, 2026
Published: 2026-07-10
Kingdom Credits cap at 10,000 per Valorant account, and every Malaysian player earns them free through daily check-ins and round wins. The Valorant Wiki confirms this cap was set in Episode 07 and still holds through the July 2026 progression pass. Players in KL and Petaling Jaya who plan around KC can skip specific VP purchases entirely, then route the ringgit saved into direct top-up on REDX Game for the bundles Kingdom Credits cannot buy. This cluster walks through what to top up, what to leave alone, and where the two currencies overlap under Patch 13.00.
The split matters more this Act because Riot Games rotates four accessory-shop items every week from older Battle Passes, and the July 2026 pool is heavier on gun buddies than any prior refresh. Buy VP for skins, farm KC for accessories, and keep more RM in your Maybank wallet through Patch 13.00.
Kingdom Credits in the July 2026 store, at a glance
Kingdom Credits are earned; Valorant Points are bought — that single split decides everything else. Daily check-ins award 150 KC each and cap at four per day, so 600 KC is your ceiling from log-in grind alone. Round wins add flat KC on top, in every mode except Deathmatch. Agent Gear Tier 5 pays back 2,000 KC as a rebate designed to keep the tap flowing. Newer players got a 5,000 KC one-time grant at system launch, per Riot's own Progression Update explainer, with figures also documented in the franchise write-up on Wikipedia.
REDX Game handles the other side of that equation: when you need 1,000 or 5,350 VP for a bundle KC cannot touch, the top-up finishes in 1 to 3 minutes and costs MYR-native ringgit, skipping both the Apple ID conversion and the App Store fee stacked on the sticker. That specific gap is the whole reason this cluster exists.

VP tier pricing for Malaysia: REDX vs App Store
The tier below anchors every calculation in this article. Prices reflect the Patch 13.00 storefront as of 10 July 2026.
VP tierREDX (MYR)App Store MY (MYR)Deltasen per VP (REDX)
475 VPRM 19.90RM 22.90RM 3.004.19 sen
1,000 VPRM 33.50RM 38.90RM 5.403.35 sen
2,050 VPRM 65.90RM 74.90RM 9.003.21 sen
3,650 VPRM 109.90RM 124.90RM 15.003.01 sen
5,350 VPRM 159.90RM 179.90RM 20.002.99 sen
8,700 VPRM 259.95RM 299.90RM 39.952.99 sen
11,000 VPRM 329.90RM 379.90RM 50.003.00 sen
The sweet spot is the 5,350 VP tier at 2.99 sen per VP, where the ringgit-per-VP curve bottoms out. Anything smaller pushes the rate up because fixed overhead spreads across fewer VP. Malaysian squads chasing a full Deluxe bundle plus a Premium finisher lean on the 8,700 tier and use REDX Game direct top-up to fill leftover gaps in the same session rather than double-charging the DuitNow QR flow.
Kingdom Credits earn math for a Petaling Jaya solo-queue player
A working-class ranked grinder plays five to seven matches a night after work. Each Competitive game runs 25 to 45 minutes, so figure four matches in a two-hour session Monday through Friday. That is your baseline.
Daily log-in checkpoint pays 600 KC per day if you finish all four. Weekly log-in only lands at 4,200 KC. Add round wins at 4 KC per win. A 13-round Competitive game with an 8-round win averages 32 KC per match, which is what most Malaysian solo-queue rankers around Gold and Platinum see across nine or ten rounds. Four matches nightly translates to 128 KC. Five nights a week clears 640 KC purely from match wins. Total weekly ceiling from a casual grind lands near 4,840 KC, which means the 10,000 KC cap hits in 2.1 weeks if you never spend a coin.
Now count what that KC replaces on a Malaysian buyer's monthly ledger. One agent purchase at 8,000 KC covers a slot you would otherwise fill with an Agent Recruitment Token. Two accessory-shop items at ~5,000 KC each equals two gun buddies you did not put on VP. Ten Agent Gear tiers per owned agent chip away at any lingering "should I buy this cosmetic" doubt.
Ringgit translation: paying for that agent via VP (roughly 1,000 VP through the Agent Recruitment window) costs RM 33.50, so KC saves that ringgit per new agent slot. Grab three agents through KC over a season and save RM 100.50. A player in Ipoh farming four hours a week can offset a full Deluxe bundle by treating KC as a passive discount stream. Boleh tahan for a free system.
Original data point: 4,840 KC weekly times four weeks lands at 19,360 KC per month, but the 10,000 cap eats any grinder trying to bank past 10K. Excess 9,360 KC per month is wasted if you hoard, so spend at least once every 15 days to avoid the burn. Riot never surfaces this on the storefront, and it is why accessory-shop and Agent Gear cadence matter more than a quarterly VP top-up.
Cara top up 5,350 VP guna DuitNow QR
The 5,350 tier is the ringgit-per-VP sweet spot. Here is the exact flow, tak perlu tunggu lama.
- Open redxgame.com/order/direct-top-up/valorant-malaysia in your phone browser.
- Select the 5,350 VP tier. Price locks at RM 159.90 on the order card.
- Enter your Riot ID (username plus tagline, e.g. PlayerJB#SEA1). Double check the tagline because a wrong region routes VP to the wrong account and support recovery takes days.
- Pick DuitNow QR at checkout. Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, TNG eWallet, GXBank, and Boost all resolve through the same rail.
- Scan the QR with your banking app and confirm the RM 159.90 amount before you tap Bayar.
- Wait 1 to 3 minutes for VP to land, then log into the Valorant client and check the top-right balance.
If the store balance does not refresh on first login, close and reopen the client once. Every top-up sits server-side, so a receipt shows in your account history whether the client cached or not.
KC vs VP: which currency actually opens what
KC and VP run two entirely different shopfronts, so Malaysian players lose ringgit whenever they buy VP for something Kingdom Credits already covers for free.

The comparison shreds a common Malaysian buyer mistake: paying 1,000 VP (RM 33.50) to skip the 28-day agent grind when 8,000 KC covers the same slot free through gameplay you were doing anyway. Save the RM 33.50, spend it on a Sky Reaper Vandal cycle through REDX Game instead, and you sit at the same wallet outlay for twice the loot on the same DuitNow QR transaction. Squads in Selangor and Shah Alam call this senang gila arithmetic once someone spells it out during a Discord warm-up. See the REDX Game Valorant Malaysia top-up page for the current 1,775 VP price point.
FAQ
Boleh saya beli Kingdom Credits dengan RM?
No, Riot Games rules them out as a paid item. "Kingdom Credits are meant to reward the time you've invested in VALORANT," per the official Progression Update FAQ. Only VP is available for MYR top-up through REDX Game.
Which VP tier gives the best value for Malaysian players?
The 5,350 VP tier at RM 159.90 through REDX Game lands at 2.99 sen per VP, the lowest ringgit-per-VP ratio on the ladder without stepping into the RM 329.90 commitment of the 11,000 tier. Squads in Shah Alam and Johor Bahru chasing bundles usually pick this tier because the per-VP rate crawls back above 3.20 sen at the smaller rungs.
How many Kingdom Credits do I earn per Competitive match?
Roughly 32 KC per 13-round game with an 8-round win, on top of the 150 KC daily checkpoint. A four-match evening session after work in KL nets about 128 KC from wins plus 600 KC from checkpoints spread across the day. Memang best return for a free system.
What happens if I hit the 10,000 KC cap?
Any further earned KC is wasted until you spend down, so the Riot store lists Agent Gear tiers and accessory shop items as the fastest spend paths. Fans of d4v41 from Paper Rex who watch VCT Pacific Stage 2 evenings often stock KC for weekly rotations, and it pays to watch the Thursday accessory refresh before your bank overflows past the ceiling.
Can I use Touch 'n Go eWallet or GXBank for VP top-up?
Yes. DuitNow QR at checkout resolves through Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, GXBank, TNG eWallet, and Boost — all Malaysian rails on a 1 to 3 minute completion window.
Do I need Kingdom Credits before buying VP?
No. The two currencies are independent, but Malaysian buyers still save RM by checking the KC store first before any top-up, because every item in the accessory shop or Agent Gear pool bought through KC never touches VP and therefore never costs ringgit at checkout. This is the whole cost-math argument for stacking KC across Paper Rex VCT Pacific evenings and topping up VP only for the premium skin bundles KC cannot touch.
Does the Battle Pass premium track cost VP or KC?
VP only, at 1,000 VP. That maps to RM 33.50 through REDX Game vs RM 38.90 on App Store MY, a RM 5.40 delta per Act. Across four Acts in a calendar year that is RM 21.60 leak avoided by MYR-native ringgit pricing at checkout.
