If you’ve ever wanted to grab an Epic skin for just 1 Diamond, the 515 eParty is literally the event that makes it happen. Every year, Moonton throws the biggest anniversary celebration in Mobile Legends, and every year the players who planned ahead walk away with insane loot while everyone else wonders what went wrong.

Here’s the thing about the MLBB 515 eParty in 2026: the party peaks on May 15, but the real work starts right now, in April. Promo Diamond farming is completely time-gated, which means every single day you skip is a chunk of free currency you’re never getting back. No catch-up mechanic, no makeup quests, nothing.

So let’s break this down together. I’ll walk you through exactly how many Promo Diamonds you can earn for free, what to do every day, and where to spend them when the 515 shop opens.

πŸ”Ά What Are Promo Diamonds (and Why Should You Care)?

Promo Diamonds, also known as Yellow Diamonds, are a special limited-time currency that Moonton only hands out twice a year: during the 515 Anniversary and the 11.11 Mega Sale. That’s it. Two windows annually.

Each Promo Diamond equals 1 regular Diamond in value. The catch? You always need at least 1 real Diamond in your account to complete a purchase. So Promo Diamonds cover up to 99% of any eligible item’s price. An Epic skin that normally costs 899 Diamonds? With enough Promo Diamonds, you’re paying just 1 real Diamond for it.

That’s not a typo. That’s the whole point of this grind.

πŸ—“οΈ MLBB Promo Diamonds in April 2026: Key Dates

The 515 Promo Diamond farming window follows a two-phase structure every year:

PhaseWhat HappensExpected Timing
Promo CarnivalComplete daily tasks to collect Promo DiamondsEarly April through early May
515 Flash SaleSpend your Promo Diamonds in the shopAround May 10–18 (peaking May 15)

Based on previous years, the 515 Carnival Party also lets you earn additional Promo Diamonds by picking a 515 skin as your avatar, completing event-specific missions, and climbing the popularity ranking. Higher ranking means more bonus Yellow Diamonds at the end of each stage.

πŸ’Ž How Many Free Diamonds Can You Actually Farm?

Daily tasks during the Promo Carnival follow a consistent format. Here’s the breakdown based on how Moonton has structured these events throughout 2026:

TaskPromo Diamonds
Log in to the game20
Complete 2 matches (Classic, Ranked, Brawl, or Rising Open)15
Play 1 match with a friend OR recharge any amount of Diamonds20
Daily total55

Quick note on that last task: playing with a friend and recharging are alternatives, not stackable. Doing both won’t give you 40. The cap is 55 per day either way.

Now let’s do the math. If the Promo Carnival runs for roughly 15 days in April:

55 Γ— 15 = 825 Promo Diamonds from daily tasks alone.

But that’s not the ceiling. Moonton typically adds bonus sources during 515:

  • Carnival Party ranking rewards can push your total significantly higher depending on how actively you participate in the popularity contest
  • Login reward packs during the event sometimes contain random amounts between 19 and 1,111 Promo Diamonds (yes, the lucky ones hit that jackpot)
  • Recharge-linked bonus missions have historically awarded up to 800 extra Promo Diamonds for completing top-up milestones

Realistically, an active F2P player can expect 800–1,100 Promo Diamonds. If you recharge even a small amount during the event window, that number can push past 1,600.

βœ… Your Daily Checklist (Don’t Miss a Single Day)

This is the part you want to screenshot. Do all of this every day during the Promo Carnival, and you’ll max out your farming potential:

  1. Open MLBB and claim your login reward β€” that’s 20 Promo Diamonds for literally just showing up
  2. Play 2 matches in any PvP mode β€” Classic, Ranked, Brawl, or Rising Open all count. Pro tip: Brawl is the fastest way to clear this since matches run shorter than Ranked
  3. Queue up with a friend for at least 1 game β€” this is the free alternative to recharging and gives you the final 20 Promo Diamonds
  4. Check the Events tab for any bonus missions β€” Moonton sometimes adds limited-time sub-events that grant extra Promo Diamonds or event tokens
  5. Participate in the 515 Carnival Party popularity contest β€” pick a 515 skin as your avatar and complete social tasks for ranking points. End-of-stage rewards scale with your rank

The whole routine takes about 20–30 minutes if you’re efficient. That’s it. Half an hour a day for skins that normally cost hundreds of Diamonds.

πŸ’° Where to Spend: Starlight β†’ Neobeast β†’ Exquisite Collection

Here’s where most players mess up: they blow their Diamonds on the first shiny event that shows up in April and arrive at May 15 broke. Don’t be that person. April 2026 has five competing events pulling at your wallet, so you need a priority list.

Priority 1: Starlight Pass (300 Diamonds)

Buy the Normal Starlight pass before anything else. April’s Starlight features Zetian’s “Sunset Luminance” skin, and it’s her first non-basic skin in the game. But the skin isn’t even the main reason you’re buying this.

The Starlight pass gives you 300 Crystals of Aurora immediately, which directly offset your draw costs in the Exquisite Collection later. You also unlock Starlight-exclusive missions that feed into your overall farming. Skip the Advanced pass (750 Diamonds) unless you genuinely don’t care about 515 prep. The 450-Diamond gap between Normal and Advanced is better saved for May.

Priority 2: Neobeast Resale (Starting ~April 10)

The Neobeast skin series is back with all five skins in the draw pool at once: Fredrinn, Lylia, Ling, Brody, and Pharsa. This is the first time they’ve all been available simultaneously.

The daily discount mechanic here is key. Your first single pull each day costs just 25 Diamonds (50% off the standard 50). If you log in daily from April 10 through May 11, that’s over 30 discounted pulls for a total of around 750 Diamonds. Way cheaper than bulk-pulling everything at once.

Don’t go all-in on day one. Take your daily discounted pull, accumulate points toward the tiered event shop rewards, and save the rest of your Diamonds for 515.

Priority 3: Exquisite Collection (April 1–30)

This month’s Collector skin is Grock “Tremor of the Deep”, and the community consensus is that it’s his best skin visually. The pool also includes returning Collectors like Ling “Serene Plume” and Pharsa “Empress Phoenix”.

Community testing puts the average at 66–70 draws for the featured Collector skin. That translates to roughly 1,485–1,575 Diamonds before Crystal of Aurora offsets. It’s a big commitment. If you’re F2P or a light spender, prioritize 515 over chasing the Collector skin. The Promo Diamond shop historically offers better per-skin value than any gacha pull.

🧠 The Smart Spender’s April-to-May Roadmap

Here’s how it all fits together if you want to maximize every Diamond:

WeekAction
April 1–9Buy Normal Starlight (300 Diamonds). Start daily Promo Diamond tasks immediately. Claim all login rewards.
April 10–20Neobeast Resale drops. Take your daily 25-Diamond discounted pull. Keep completing Promo Diamond dailies. Don’t bulk-pull.
April 21–30Reassess your Exquisite Collection progress. If you’re close to a Collector skin, commit. If not, bank every remaining Diamond for 515.
Early MayFinal Promo Carnival days. Do NOT miss a single login. Your total Promo Diamond count is about to lock in.
May 10–18The 515 Flash Sale opens. Spend your Promo Diamonds on Epic and Limited skins for 1 real Diamond each. Prioritize permanently missable skins.

🎯 What Can You Buy in the 515 Promo Diamond Shop?

The 515 shop typically includes:

  • Epic skins from the regular shop (usually discounted to 1 Diamond with enough Promo Diamonds)
  • Limited and Special skins that rotate in during the event
  • Heroes at heavily reduced prices
  • Shop-wide discounts of up to 50% on select items

Important: Promo Diamonds do NOT work on Collector skins, Legend skins, or collaboration skins in the gacha. They’re designed for direct-purchase items in the regular shop. That’s exactly why the 515 shop offers some of the best per-skin value in the entire game. No RNG, no pity system, just pick what you want and pay 1 Diamond.

If you’ve been eyeing a specific Epic skin all season, this is when you grab it.

🚨 Mistakes to Avoid

Let me save you some heartbreak before you accidentally waste everything:

  • Don’t skip days. Seriously. Even one missed day is 55 Promo Diamonds gone forever. Set an alarm if you have to.
  • Don’t confuse Promo Diamonds with regular Diamonds. They look different (yellow vs. blue) and expire after the event. You can’t hoard them for 11.11.
  • Don’t forget the 1-Diamond requirement. You need at least 1 real Diamond to make any Promo Diamond purchase. If your balance hits zero, recharge the minimum amount before the sale opens.
  • Don’t blow your budget on the Exquisite Collection or Neobeast before 515. Both events will tempt you. Stay disciplined. The 515 shop gives you guaranteed skins with no gacha involved.
  • Don’t ignore the Carnival Party rankings. The bonus Promo Diamonds from ranking well can be the difference between affording one skin or two.

The 515 eParty only comes once a year. April is your farming window, May is your payday. Put in the daily work now, and you’ll be flexing new skins while everyone else is doing the math on how many pulls they need.

See you on May 15. πŸŽ‰
