How to Unlock All Skins in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

If you’re like me, you’ve probably stared longingly at that one epic skin for your main hero and thought, “Man, I wish I had that.” Trust me, I’ve been there. Whether you’re maining Granger, clapping with Chou, or dancing through kills with Kagura, we all know Mobile Legends: Bang Bang isn’t just about gameplay, it’s about style, status, and those sweet, sweet skins.

I used to think getting skins was either about dropping serious cash or praying to the RNG gods. But after playing for years (and making a few mistakes along the way), I’ve figured out the best ways to unlock all skins in MLBB, including some clever workarounds, investment hacks, and timing tricks that I wish I knew earlier.

Why Skins Matter in MLBB

Let’s be honest, skins don’t give you direct power, but the psychological effect is real. You play more confidently. You get respected (or hated) in ranked. And don’t forget those extra effects, kill animations, and voice lines that just make the experience feel premium.

I still remember the first time I equipped my Zilong “Dragon Hunter” skin it felt like I instantly leveled up as a player (even though I still fed that match).

So yeah, skins matter. And unlocking them smartly matters more.

1. Prioritise Your Main Heroes First

If you try to unlock every skin for every hero, you’ll burn out fast, mentally and financially. What worked for me was picking my top 3 mains and going deep with them.

For example, I main Lancelot, Claude, and Esmeralda.
I wait for skin-specific promos or bundles tied to these heroes.

This strategy avoids waste. Instead of chasing every limited-time drop, I invest only in heroes I use regularly.

Pro Tip: Log in to the “Heroes You Use the Most” section in the game’s event tab, MLBB often gives targeted discounts there!

2. Take Advantage of Events with Guaranteed Rewards

Some of my best skins came from non-diamond events. Yeah, you might need to spend a bit, but with smart timing, it’s worth every cent.

Examples:

Starlight Membership: I was sceptical at first, but it’s honestly one of the most value-packed subscriptions. You get exclusive skins, battle perks, and enough premium currency to unlock more down the road.
Recharge Events: One time, I recharged just $2 during a “Recharge 1 Time to Get Tokens” event, and ended up with a new skin after a few draws.

Pro Tip: Stack your recharge during double-token events. More chances, more value.

3. Use MLBB’s Fragment Shops Strategically

This is one of the most overlooked tips by casual players. The Rare Skin Fragment Shop and Hero Fragment Shop rotate often, but there’s a catch:

Not all skins in there are worth it.
Wait for your favourite hero’s skin to show up, then dump fragments. I’ve been saving mine for a month now, waiting for Chou’s “Furious Tiger” to rotate back in.

Also, the skin trial system lets you try before you commit.

Pro Tip: Grab 1-day or 3-day trials and really test how the skin feels in gameplay before buying.

4. Participate in Collaboration and Anniversary Events

MLBB goes wild with collabs. Remember the Transformers and King of Fighters events?

If you’re planning to spend, this is the moment to go big. These skins are never coming back. I regret not getting the Saber x Optimus Prime skin. Don’t be me.

Track the game’s calendar or follow the official MLBB YouTube and Twitter/X accounts. They announce this way before they drop.

5. Plan Around Diamond Sales and MLBB Recharge Websites

Here’s something a lot of new players miss, you can get diamonds cheaper through trusted third-party recharge platforms that Moonton supports, especially during regional events or festival seasons.

In India and Southeast Asia, platforms like Codashop often offer bonus diamonds or bundled rewards.

I once topped up during Diwali promo week and scored 60 extra diamonds. It might not sound like a lot, but it pushed me past the line for an elite skin.

Pro Tip: Subscribe to their Telegram or email alerts. They often leak promo codes early.

6. Consider Reselling Unused Trial Cards for BP

Okay, this one is niche, but if you’ve been playing for a while, you’ve probably got a pile of unused trial skin cards. Use them to flex in a match or disenchant duplicates for Battle Points, which you can then use for skin exchange tokens during certain events.

Not game-changing, but every bit counts when you’re grinding skin unlocks without overspending.

Final Thoughts: Patience + Planning = Skins

I’ve unlocked over 30+ skins over time, and no, I didn’t have to take out a loan or rage-quit. It’s about knowing when to spend, where to grind, and what events to wait for.

I used to get salty seeing flashy epic skins in ranked matches, but now I’m that guy with the collector badge and animated spawn effects. And it feels damn good.
