April 2026 might be the most stacked month MLBB has dropped in a while. You’ve got a new Starlight skin, a Collector release, the Neobeast Resale, an ongoing Naruto collab, and on top of all that, the entire month is basically a warm-up for 515 eParty in May. That’s at least five things competing for your Diamond wallet at the same time.
If you go in without a plan, you’re walking into 515 broke. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.
This guide breaks down exactly what’s worth buying, what you should skip, and in what order to spend so you get the most value out of every Diamond in April.
ποΈ What’s Actually Dropping in April 2026
Here’s your full MLBB April 2026 events lineup at a glance:
| Event | Date | Cost | Priority |
| Zetian “Sunset Luminance” Starlight | April 1 | 300 Diamonds (Normal) | π’ Buy First |
| Grock “Tremor of the Deep” Collector | April 1β30 | 3,000β5,000 Diamonds | π‘ Mains Only |
| Naruto Collab Phase 2 (Recharge) | April 3 & April 10 | Varies | π‘ Selective |
| Neobeast Resale Draw | ~April 10 β May 11 | 25 Diamonds/day (discounted) | π’ Daily Pulls |
| Karrie “Quantum Razor” MPL Exclusive | April 6 | First-week discount | π’ Good Value |
| Minotaur “Taurus” Zodiac Return | April 20 | Zodiac Summon Shop | π΄ Collectors Only |
| Aurora “Candle’s Vigil” Epic Treasure Rush | April 22 | Draw event | π‘ Late-Month Target |
| 515 Promo Diamond Farming | All month | Free (daily tasks) | π’ Non-Negotiable |
That’s a lot. Let’s go through it in the order you should actually spend.
Step 1: Activate Starlight on Day One
This is the single best use of 300 Diamonds in all of April. The moment Starlight goes live on April 1, lock it in. Here’s why.
Zetian “Sunset Luminance” is her first non-basic Starlight skin and, honestly, her best-looking cosmetic right now. The warm amber-and-gold palette is a huge visual upgrade from her default purple-blue design. You get upgraded skill effects, a themed trail effect, a Sacred Statue, and two Painted Skin variants (“Elysian Luminance” and “Golden Luminance”). The Elysian version costs an extra 100 Diamonds if you want it.
But the skin isn’t even the main reason to rush this purchase.
When you activate Starlight, you instantly receive 300 Crystals of Aurora. Those Crystals work 1:1 with Diamonds in the Exquisite Collection draw. That means if you’re planning to pull for the Grock Collector skin later, your Starlight purchase directly subsidizes those draws. Two events, one budget line.
Should you go Premium? The Premium Starlight Pass costs 750 Diamonds. For most players this month, the answer is no. That 450-Diamond gap is better saved for Neobeast pulls or your 515 buffer. Standard Starlight is the right call unless you have a generous budget and zero interest in the Grock Collector skin.
Miss April’s Starlight Pass and you miss the skin permanently. It won’t appear in the Starlight Fragment exchange for at least six to twelve months.
Is the Grock Collector Skin Worth It?
Let’s talk about the big one. Grock “Tremor of the Deep” launched in the Exquisite Collection on April 1 and runs through April 30. This is Grock’s first-ever Collector skin, and visually, it’s on another level compared to anything else in his lineup. The deep-sea monster design transforms his rocky model into a shipwreck-wielding ocean beast. His entrance animation features a full cinematic of him emerging from the ocean floor before the match even loads.
Skill effects are dramatic across the board. His first skill swings a massive ship wreck, his second spawns tentacles holding wreckage to block enemy paths, and his ultimate crashes through ground and water simultaneously.
Here’s the reality check on cost:
| Scenario | Estimated Cost |
| Best case (early pull luck) | 450β675 Diamonds |
| Community average (~66β70 draws) | 1,485β1,575 Diamonds |
| Worst case | 2,000+ Diamonds |
| After Starlight Crystal offset | Subtract ~300 |
The Exquisite Collection uses a daily discount system: your first single draw each day costs 25 Crystals instead of 50. Over 30 days, that’s 30 pulls for 750 Crystals total, half the price of pulling them at full rate. Your very first 10x draw also gets a one-time 30% discount at 350 Diamonds instead of 500.
The verdict: if you main Grock or play tanks regularly, this is one of the cleanest “just get it” decisions in recent months. There’s no competing higher-tier skin, and the visual upgrade over his existing options is enormous. If you rarely touch the hero, it’s a clear skip. Don’t pull just because the skin looks cool in someone else’s highlight reel.
The April pool also features returning Collector skins, including Ling “Serene Plume” and Pharsa “Empress Phoenix.” If you missed either during their original run, use the “Switch Reward” button in the event to target them instead.
π° Neobeast Resale: The Sleeper Event of April
This is the one a lot of players underestimate. The Neobeast Skin Series returns around April 10 with all five skins in the pool at the same time for the first time ever: Fredrinn, Lylia, Ling, Brody, and Pharsa. The original two (Fredrinn and Lylia from the 2023 debut) join the three added in 2025 (Ling, Pharsa, Brody). The cyberpunk aesthetic on these skins is genuinely one of the best-looking lines in the game, and if you missed the original runs, this is your shot.
The draw structure mirrors the Exquisite Collection: first daily pull is discounted to 25 Diamonds, full single pulls cost 50, and 10x draws run 450 Diamonds. Points from each draw accumulate toward tiered rewards in the event shop.
Your strategy here is simple. Hit the daily discounted pull every single day from April 10 onward. That’s your lowest-cost entry point. Complete daily event quests for bonus points without spending extra Diamonds. Don’t bulk-pull early; let free sources accumulate first, then assess how close you are to your target tier before committing more.
Community data from previous Neobeast events shows that players who complete daily quests consistently reach mid-tier rewards without heavy spending. Top-tier prizes require more serious Diamond investment.
The event is expected to run until approximately May 11, giving you over a month of daily pulls. If you don’t see the banner after April 10, restart the game and check the Events tab directly. Display bugs are the most common cause and usually resolve within 24 hours.
Pharsa Neobeast deserves a special mention for mage mains: the cyber sorceress design features color-shifting wings that actually change during her flight animation. It’s one of the more impressive skins in the entire game.
Naruto Collab: Still Running, Be Selective
The MLBB x Naruto Shippuden collaboration that started March 27 continues through April (and all the way to May 10) with Premium Supply recharge phases on April 3β7 and April 10β14. The headline skins are Julian “Itachi Uchiha” and Gusion “Minato Namikaze,” with all five Team 7 skins from Round 1 returning in the pool as well.
Each premium collab skin requires 1,200 Crests through the draw event, which typically means around 100β120 draws to accumulate enough for one exchange.
The free Vale “Gaara” skin is still claimable through the Specialized Training (Path of the Ninja) missions. Complete daily training challenges across the Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu disciplines to earn enough points and unlock it at zero Diamond cost. If you already own that skin, you get Valir “Ember Gaze” instead. Don’t sleep on this; it costs nothing but your time.
For the premium skins, only pull if you genuinely main Julian or Gusion and plan to use these skins long-term. The Naruto collab draws compete directly with your Neobeast and Grock budgets. If Diamonds are tight, let this one go.
Late-Month Skins: Karrie, Aurora, Minotaur
The second half of April brings three more releases worth knowing about.
- Karrie “Quantum Razor” is the MPL Exclusive skin dropping on April 6 with a first-week discount. MPL skins are generally the most budget-friendly premium tier in the game, making this a practical pick for Karrie mains who prefer steady spending over gacha pulls.
- Aurora “Candle’s Vigil” is an Epic skin arriving on April 22 through the Epic Treasure Rush event. The first draw is free, and Starlight members get additional discounts. This is the kind of event where you want Diamonds ready in advance rather than scrambling after launch.
- Minotaur “Taurus” returns in the Zodiac Summon Shop on April 20. This is purely a collection play. If you’re working through the Zodiac series, grab it. Otherwise, it’s safe to skip.
π The Real Priority: Your 515 Promo Diamonds Guide
Everything above is optional. This part isn’t.
The 515 eParty is MLBB’s biggest annual event, peaking on May 15. What makes it special is the Promo Diamond system: complete daily tasks during the lead-up period and you accumulate Yellow Diamonds that can be used as substitutes for real Diamonds in the shop. Players who farm consistently can pick up Epic or even Limited skins for as little as 1 real Diamond.
Promo Diamonds only drop twice a year, during 515 and the 11.11 Mega Sale. If you miss the farming window, you’re paying full price for everything in May.
The farming starts in April. Every single day matters because the tasks are time-gated; you can’t grind them retroactively. Here’s the plan:
Complete every daily 515 task from April 1 onward. Log in, play your matches, finish the mission checklist. This costs zero Diamonds and builds your Promo Diamond stockpile for May.
Reserve 500β1,000+ Diamonds as your 515 buffer. Even with a full Promo Diamond stack, the shop sometimes requires a small real-Diamond co-payment. Don’t blow your entire wallet on April events and show up to 515 empty-handed.
If you’re planning to top up, do it in April rather than waiting until May. Recharge-based milestones during April often feed into your Promo Diamond total. Spending early gets you extra value that spending later doesn’t.
π Rizky’s Recommended Spending Order
Here’s the exact priority sequence that maximizes your April value without wrecking your 515 budget:
- Starlight Pass (300 Diamonds) β skin, Crystals of Aurora, task eligibility. Non-negotiable for anyone spending in April.
- Daily 515 Promo Diamond tasks (Free) β do these every single day, no exceptions.
- Daily Neobeast pulls (25 Diamonds/day from ~April 10) β low daily cost, high cumulative value over the month.
- Grock Collector draws (budget permitting) β use your Starlight Crystals first. Start with daily discounted pulls and reassess after two weeks before committing to bulk draws.
- Everything else β Naruto recharges, Aurora Epic, Minotaur Zodiac. Only if your 515 buffer is already secured.
The biggest mistake players make in a month like this is reacting to each event individually instead of planning across all of them. April 2026 rewards patience and structure. Lock in your Starlight, farm your Promo Diamonds daily, take your discounted Neobeast pulls, and only go deep on the Collector event if your budget comfortably allows it.
Do that, and you’ll walk into 515 with a full Diamond wallet, a stacked Promo Diamond reserve, and zero regrets.
