One of the main ways players express themselves in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, the mobile Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) created by TikTok owners ByteDance, is through unlocking and equipping skins.
They can be pretty expensive, though. Whether through the Battle Pass or Gacha system, or even purchased directly, you’ll want to find cheaper or free ways to get Mobile Legends skins - it’s not like you can get paid to play games, right?
Take Your Chances with a Lucky Spin and Magic Wheel - Elite-Legendary Rarity
Using 210 in-game tickets, you can do the Lucky Spin for the weekly featured skin. As the name suggests, you have to get lucky, but by saving up tickets earned through regular tasks, chests, and events, you can earn a skin every 2-4 weeks.
I’d suggest only using Lucky Spin when there’s a skin you specifically want on offer - otherwise save your tickets for when there is!
The Magic Wheel is similar - you can spend diamonds on spins, and potentially win exclusive legendary skins. This is a more long-term grind, but the rewards can be incredibly worth it. Diamonds aren’t easy to get, too, but there are a few ways to get free Mobile Legends diamonds:
-
MLBB Creator Camp - submit videos as a content creator for 200-1000 diamonds/month
-
Redeem official codes for 5-100 diamonds (check giveaways on social media)
-
Take part in in-game events and contests - usually fragments will be offered, but diamonds can be on offer
-
Use Freecash to earn money for free to spend on diamonds
Participate in In-Game Events - Elite-Epic Rarity
In Mobile Legends, there are several options given to players who want to unlock free skins.
Login Streak
With each login, you’ll get a reward, especially when you start playing Mobile Legends for the first time. Be sure to log in regularly, as missing a day will reset all your progress towards better rewards.
You can earn permanent skins, skin trial cards, and skin fragments as login streak rewards, so be sure to keep that streak going to maximise your freebies.
Seasonal Events and Mini-Games
Depending on the time of year, Mobile Legends offers skins as rewards for the game’s seasonal celebrations. Check in during public holidays and complete themed tasks, play limited mini-games, and collect points to earn skins in the form of:
-
Event Tokens (can be exchanged for skins)
-
Skin fragments
-
Free spins
-
Epic Skins
Regular Tasks
MLBB offers daily tasks you can take advantage of too. By completing daily and weekly tasks, you can earn fragments, lucky spin tickets, battle points, and more. It’s not the quickest way to earn free skins, but it’ll add up over time just through playing the game.
Skin Fragment Exchange - Epic Rarity
Collect skin fragments by playing Mobile Legends. These come in different rarities - Normal, Premium, and Rare. These rarities correspond to basic, elite, and epic skin rarities.
You earn skin fragments by playing the game. They can be gained through in-game events, seasonal rewards, daily bonuses, and more. Save them up and check in the fragment shop to see what’s on offer!
Complete the M-Series Pass - Epic Rarity
M-Series is Mobile Legends’ esports event, and before each annual tournament, a special battle pass is released.
By completing challenges specific to M-Series, you’ll be able to earn skins exclusive to the battle pass, and if you succeed, you’ll get a free skin. Paying for the pass gains you more rewards, but it’s good to know there are free options.
