MLBB Street Fighter Crest Countdown: Spend by Aug 16, 2026
The MLBB Street Fighter crest countdown ends August 16, 2026, when the 45-day collab and its Crest exchange shop close. Unspent crests are expected to expire with the event, so redeem everything now: main crossover skins cost 1,200 Crests, Painted variants 200. Check your balance on the event page, follow the priority list below, and use the 25-Diamond daily draw for any final push.

What Is the MLBB Street Fighter Crest Countdown?
The Street Fighter Crest is the collab's event currency. Duplicate gacha assets shatter into crests, funding the exchange shop where the four premium skins — Paquito 'Ryu', Chou 'Ken', Guinevere 'Chun-Li', and Dyrroth 'Guile' — sell at a fixed 1,200 Crests each. The event launched July 3, 2026, at 4 PM GMT+8 and ends August 16, 2026.
Three groups need to act now:
- Unspent crest holders — anything left after the shop closes is expected lost.
- Collectors short of 1,200 — you need a gap-closing plan today, not on August 15.
- Returning players — the free Joy 'Badlands Scrapper' Special skin track (Shining Album) ended August 3; everything else follows August 16.
Key Dates and Reset Times
- Event launch: July 3, 2026, 4 PM GMT+8 (confirmed)
- Event end / shop closure: August 16, 2026 (confirmed)
- Shining Album free track: July 3 – August 3, 2026 (ended)
- Premium Supply Phase 1: July 10–15 (S8); July 10–14 (S9)
- Premium Supply Phase 2: July 17–22 (S8); July 17–21 (S9)
The 4 PM GMT+8 launch equals 1:30 PM IST, 9 AM BST, 4 AM ET, and 1 AM PT. Only August 16 is officially confirmed, but MLBB shops typically close around the daily reset window — treat August 15 as your practical deadline.
Don't confuse the daily reset with the final wipe. The first single draw each day costs 25 Diamonds instead of 50, refreshing daily until the event ends. Exploit the daily reset; beat the August 16 wipe.
Check Your Crest Balance and Collab Inventory
- Open MLBB and tap the Street Fighter collab banner to enter the event page.
- Note whether your discounted daily draw is still available.
- Check the missions tab for unclaimed rewards and incomplete tasks.
- Complete any pending draws you've already committed to.
- Open the exchange shop and compare your crest balance against item prices.

- Screenshot your balance — your proof for support if a display bug strikes in the final hours.
What to Spend Your Crests On First
- Main crossover skins — 1,200 Crests. Top priority: limited window, +8 Physical/Magic stat bonus, two outfits each (Modern Outfit 1, Classic Outfit 2). You must own the base hero to apply the skin — factor that into your choice.
- Painted variant (Modern Outfit 1) — 200 Crests. Requires owning the main skin. Never buy for a skin you won't finish unlocking.
- Elimination Effects and Chat Bubbles — 225–400 Crests. Leftovers only, after your skin decision is settled.
Can't reach 1,200? Compare the push cost (math below) against settling for an effect. Splitting crests across small items when a skin is within reach is the most common pre-wipe mistake.
Collab Skins Breakdown
Each skin reworks hero animations with authentic fighting-game moves:

- Paquito 'Ryu': Hadoken on Skill 1, Shoryuken on Knockout Strike.
- Chou 'Ken': Fiery Shoryuken uppercuts on Skill 1's final knock-up phase.
- Guinevere 'Chun-Li': Skill 2's gravity jump replaced with Head Stomp and Spinning Bird Kick.
- Dyrroth 'Guile': Sonic Booms on heavy strikes, plus the Somersault Kick.
Direct skin drop rate is just 0.08%, so the Crest exchange is the realistic path — and a guaranteed permanent collab asset lands within your first 10 pulls. Licensed collabs rarely reappear and no rerun is announced, giving these skins extra long-term value over standard Epics.
What Happens to Unspent Crests After Aug 16?
The shop closes with the event. Based on standard MLBB event currency handling, unspent crests are expected to expire worthless — no carryover or conversion has been announced. Plan for zero residual value.
Three misconceptions to avoid:
- Crests carry into a rerun. No rerun or carryover confirmed.
- Skins stay in the shop. The collab shop closes with the event.
- I can gift my crests. Event currencies are account-bound — no trading, gifting, or transfers.
Last-Minute Crest Farming: The Math
- A 10x draw generates 120–150 Crests on average; roughly 120 draws are needed for 1,200.

- Single draw: 50 Diamonds; first daily single: 25 Diamonds.
- 10x draw: 500 Diamonds on S8/S9 vs 450 on S1/S4.
- Brute-forcing one skin: 4,500–6,000 Diamonds. Optimized with daily discounts: 1,875–2,500 Diamonds per skin. Additional skins: ~6,000 Diamonds each without discounts.
Verdict: with ~12 days of discounted daily draws left, the optimized route still works if your gap is a few hundred crests. Starting from zero, weigh the 1,875–2,500 Diamond cost against what the skin is worth to you.
Top Up Diamonds Before the Wipe
Discounted bundle references: Weekly Elite Bundle S$1.25 (down from S$1.41), 10x Draws Nexus Sea bundle S$24.61 (down from S$29.69), Weekly Diamond Pass MYR 7.99. The Premium Supply phases — 29 extra draws per 250-Diamond recharge — wrapped in late July, so the daily 25-Diamond draw is now your main discount lever.
To buy Mobile Legends diamonds Ryu Ken Chun-Li skins bundles before the deadline, buffget offers wide game coverage, excellent customer service, high user ratings, and delivery fast enough for same-day final pulls.
Quick cost-per-pull math: a 500-Diamond top-up covers one 10x draw (~120–150 crests). A 250-Diamond top-up covers five standard pulls or ten days of discounted dailies — the better deal if you have the days to spare.
Will the Collab Ever Return?
No rerun has been officially announced. Licensed crossovers depend on renewed agreements between both rights holders, and such skins are historically among the rarest to reappear in MLBB. Community speculation surfaces occasionally, but treat August 16 as your final window — don't gamble on a rerun.
Your 12-Day Action Checklist
Days 12–8: Audit and plan
- Check your crest balance; screenshot your inventory.

- Clear all remaining missions for crests and draws.

Days 2–0: Final sweep
- Spend leftovers: Painted variant (200) if eligible, otherwise effects or chat bubbles (225–400).
- Zero out your crests by August 15 to beat any reset-timing surprise.
