MLBB Premium Supply: Get 1,200 Crests Before Aug 3 Ends

Event Overview

The event launched July 3, 2026 at 4 PM GMT+8 with a confirmed 45-day run into mid-August. The Shining Album overlaps it July 3–August 3, and the current build is patch 2.1.90 (July 8, 2026). For broader context, see our Street Fighter collaboration event hub.

Four fighters anchor the crossover:

• Paquito as Ryu
• Chou as Ken
• Guinevere as Chun-Li
• Dyrroth as Guile

Dual-outfit system: the Base Skin provides Outfit 2; upgrading unlocks Outfit 1.

Rather secure skins early than race the deadline? An MLBB Street Fighter Crest top up on buffget gets you event-ready Diamonds with competitive pricing, fast delivery, and secure transactions.

Premium Supply vs. After: What Changed

Premium Supply runs in two phases: July 10–15 and July 17–22. These windows hand out extra tokens and free draws — the most generous stretch of the collab.

After July 22, those bonus injections stop. Remaining Crest income comes from three places: the daily discounted pull, standard draws, and duplicates shattering into Crests. The Shining Album stays open until August 3, so the after phase is a pure efficiency game.

Shining Album End Date and Resets

Confirmed: August 3, 2026. Launch was 4 PM GMT+8, so expect final-day timing on the same schedule — but treat the in-game countdown as truth and finish all exchanges the day before. Discounted pulls refresh daily; skip a day and you permanently lose one 50%-off draw.

What Are Crests and Why 1,200 Matters

How the Currency Works

Crests come from draws, and duplicate Epic or Collab items shatter into Crests automatically. Average yield: 120–150 Crests per 10x draw. Check your balance anytime on the event exchange shop page.

What the 1,200 Milestone Unlocks

• Main Collab Skin (Classic Outfit 2): 1,200 Crests

• Painted Variant (Modern Outfit 1): 200 — requires owning the Main Skin first
• Elimination Effects and Chat Bubbles: 225–400 each
• Lower tiers: emotes, avatar borders, recall and spawn effects

Skins also carry a +8 Physical/Magic stat advantage. The true full clear is 1,400 Crests (skin plus variant).

Every Crest Source After Premium Supply

Daily Discounted Draws

A single draw costs 50 Diamonds, but your first pull each day costs 25 — a built-in 50% discount. Make it non-negotiable.

First 10x Guarantee

A standard 10x draw costs 500 Diamonds. Crucially, your first 10x guarantees a permanent collab skin or item — the single best value moment of the event. Plan your Diamonds around it.

Free Sources

• Open the Shining Album daily: free card packs and Holo Card slots. Completing the track unlocks a skin chest with Joy's 'Badlands Scrapper', a guaranteed Special-tier skin.
• Premium Supply phases add free draws and extra tokens — July windows only.
• General rewards: battle, recall, and spawn effects, emotes, avatar borders, tokens.

F2P Math: What's Realistic Before August 3

Straight talk: free sources (album packs, Premium Supply free draws) cut costs but won't carry most accounts to 1,200 alone. The realistic landing zone is ~1,500–2,000 Diamonds total when you lean on daily 25-Diamond pulls.

Calculate Your Personal Gap

1. Note your Crest balance in the exchange shop.
2. Subtract from 1,200 (or 1,400 for the full kit).
3. Divide by the 120–150 Crest average per 10x draw.
4. Multiply by 500 Diamonds — that's your gap cost.

Example: 450 short means roughly 3–4 ten-pulls, or 1,500–2,000 Diamonds. Once you know your number, buy Mobile Legends diamonds before August 3 through buffget's secure checkout and close the gap in one session. For a deeper breakdown, check our Free vs Paid Crests diamond math guide.

Fastest 1,200-Crest Farming Plan

The 15-Minute Daily Routine

1. Open the Shining Album; claim the free card pack and slot Holo Cards.

2. Take the 25-Diamond discounted daily draw before anything else.
3. During Premium Supply windows, collect free draws and tokens first.
4. Play your normal matches; pick up event token rewards along the way.
5. Check duplicates, track Crests toward the milestone — don't spend early.

Weekend Catch-Up

Pool Diamonds during the week and fire 10x draws on weekends when you can open everything at once. Confirm your first-10x permanent guarantee is still live before spending. Push album progress so the Joy skin chest doesn't slip.

Diamond Conversion: Closing the Gap

• 10x draw: 500 Diamonds → 120–150 Crests on average
• Tactical route (daily discounted pulls): ~1,500–2,000 Diamonds for the 1,200-Crest skin
• Full 1,400-Crest kit: ~5,000–6,000 Diamonds

The discounted daily pull is why patient spenders pay a fraction of the whale price. Recharge timing matters more than raw volume.

Smart Exchange Order

1. Main Collab Skin (1,200) — the milestone that matters.
2. Painted Variant (200) once you own the Main Skin.
3. Elimination Effects or Chat Bubbles (225–400) for your main hero.
4. Emotes, avatar borders, and recall/spawn effects with leftovers.

Mistakes to Avoid

Do Crests Carry Over After August 3?

Treat them as single-event currency tied to this exchange shop. Spend every Crest before the deadline and claim rewards manually — don't assume unclaimed items survive the event close.

Traps That Waste Time and Crests

• Paying 50 Diamonds after skipping the 25-Diamond daily discount
• Firing 10x draws before checking the first-10x permanent guarantee
• Spending Crests on bubbles and emotes before locking the 1,200 skin
• Buying the Painted Variant first — it's locked until you own the Main Skin
• Ignoring album dailies and missing the free Joy skin
• Assuming Premium Supply runs all event — it ends July 22

Last-48-Hours Emergency Checklist

• Check your Crest balance; compute the exact gap (120–150 per 10x draw).
• Top up on buffget early enough for delivery before you draw.
• Take both remaining daily 25-Diamond pulls.
• Ten-pull until you cross 1,200, checking duplicates first.
• Exchange in priority order: Main Skin → Variant → effects.
• Clear album Holo slots; claim the Joy 'Badlands Scrapper' chest.
• Screenshot exchanged rewards before the event page closes.

FAQ

When does the MLBB Shining Album event end? Confirmed for August 3, 2026. Launched July 3 at 4 PM GMT+8 — plan around GMT+8 timing and follow the in-game countdown.

How many Diamonds do you need for 1,200 Crests? Around 1,500–2,000 using daily 25-Diamond discounted pulls. At standard 500-Diamond ten-pull rates, a full 1,400-Crest kit runs 5,000–6,000.

Can you reach 1,200 Crests without spending? Free sources — Premium Supply free draws and daily album packs — help, but most accounts won't hit 1,200 purely free. The free track's guaranteed prize is Joy's 'Badlands Scrapper' Special skin.

What happens to unused Crests after the event ends? They're tied to this exchange shop. Spend them all before August 3 and claim rewards manually; don't count on carry-over.

Which Street Fighter skins are in the event? Paquito (Ryu), Chou (Ken), Guinevere (Chun-Li), and Dyrroth (Guile) — each main skin costs 1,200 Crests, with a 200-Crest Painted Variant.

Is Premium Supply worth it? Yes — the July 10–15 and 17–22 phases add extra tokens and free draws, and your first 10x draw guarantees a permanent collab item. See our Shining Album rewards list for full tiers.
