How to Get Chou's Free Starforger's Glory Skin and Plan Aspirants Premium Supply

September 18 brings two very different reasons to open Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Chou's 10th anniversary skin has a free puzzle route, while the first Aspirants Premium Supply window can reward players who complete its own login, recharge and spending tasks. One is a play-and-claim goal; the other is part of a paid draw event. Keeping them separate makes both easier to enjoy.

Chou's free skin has its own event window

The official anniversary event schedule lists Skin Jigsaw Puzzle - Chou from September 18 to October 25, 2026 and names Chou "Starforger's Glory" as the free anniversary reward. The official skin preview also marks September 18 as its debut. You do not need to buy Aspirants draws, StarLight membership or Diamonds simply to enter Chou's announced free reward route.

Open the event page on your account and read the puzzle's actual tasks before planning a daily routine. Check which missions reset, which modes count, whether finished tasks need a separate claim, and whether completing the puzzle requires one final reward claim. The official public schedule confirms the route and dates, but it does not publish a reliable universal puzzle-piece count or a guaranteed number of matches. Your server's event screen is the right place for those details.

A comfortable way to finish the Chou puzzle

Start with tasks that expire soon, then let longer milestones progress through matches you would play anyway. After a session, return to the puzzle page to collect completed missions. A full progress bar is not always the same thing as a reward already sitting in your inventory. This matters especially for players who log in irregularly or play across the daily reset.

Chou players may want the skin as soon as it becomes claimable. If you rarely use him, the same free route is still worth a look: an anniversary skin can be a nice collection reward without changing your Diamond budget. October 25 is the published end date, so leave time for the final claim rather than treating that date as the first day to check the puzzle. The precise closing hour should be read in game for your server.

Aspirants Premium Supply is a separate decision

The official MLBB channel confirms the September 16 return of Ruby "Mecha Maiden" and Angela "Cyber Cherubin". The September original-server event roundup lists Aspirants Unite through October 8, with Premium Supply windows on September 18-22 and September 25-29, all in server time. It also lists a half-price first ten-draw and discounted first single draw each day. Check the live event tab before paying because its countdown and task wording determine what applies to your account.

Premium Supply gives draw tokens for qualifying actions. A token is a chance in the Aspirants pool, not a free Ruby or Angela skin. If you want Chou only, you can ignore the paid draw route. If an Aspirants skin is your real target, the two Supply windows may be more useful than buying a large pack and drawing before their tasks open.

What the draw guarantees actually mean

Previous official Aspirants explanations describe an Epic-or-better skin every ten draws and an Orb of Hope that contributes to the event's featured-skin path. An Epic-or-better guarantee does not mean every ten draws give a chosen Aspirants skin. Bingo or Orb progress, duplicate conversion and the featured pool should be checked against the current event rules, especially if you already own one of the returning skins.

Before the first paid draw, inspect the current reward pool and mark the outcome you would actually be happy with. Someone who wants any Epic skin can stop after a discounted milestone and still feel satisfied. Someone chasing Angela or Ruby needs a larger, uncertainty-aware budget. Saving a screenshot of the current draw price, token count and progress also makes the second Supply window easier to plan.

Recharge tasks and spending tasks count different actions

The September roundup describes Premium Supply login, recharge and spending tasks but does not establish a universal token table for every region. In the event tab, write down the exact base-Diamond recharge thresholds, the spending thresholds, the token rewards for each, and whether rewards must be manually claimed. Do not copy a 16-token chart from an older rerun and assume it is the live rule.

There is another overlap worth checking. The same September event roundup lists the 10th Anniversary Grand Rebate through September 21, server time. It describes an any-amount recharge tier and a 250 base-Diamond tier with six Aspirants Unite tokens, one universal 200-Diamond skin coupon and two skin-specific 200-Diamond coupons. These are event rewards, not 600 Diamonds returned to your balance. The useful overlap appears to be September 18-21, but whether one purchase qualifies for both promotions is decided by the live task wording. A Weekly Diamond Pass, bonus Diamonds and Diamonds received over later days may be counted differently from an immediate base-Diamond top-up.

Three budgets that respect your actual goal

Chou only: set the Diamond budget to zero. Follow the puzzle tasks, collect each reward and keep paid event banners out of the calculation. Time and task completion are the scarce resources here.

A low-cost Aspirants try: claim any login tokens, review the first ten-draw price and daily discount, and decide a stop point before spending. An Epic-or-better result can be good value if you like several skins in the pool. It is not a promise of the featured skin. Keep unused Diamonds for the second Supply window only if the current rules let that timing help you.

One specific Aspirants skin: decide the most you can spend on an uncertain outcome, then compare the two task windows, already owned skins, available tokens and current Bingo or Orb progress. For example, if your spend cap is 1,000 Diamonds and you use 450 on a discounted draw, only 550 remain for subsequent draws or spending tasks. A recharge task may give tokens, but buying currency does not by itself move a spending-task counter. Stop when the cap is reached, even if the next milestone looks close.

Top up for the task you can see

An MLBB Diamonds top up on Treabar can be useful once you know the exact task and shortfall. Match the correct product region, User ID and Server ID, then compare the payable amount and spendable Diamonds with the event requirement. If you are considering a Weekly Diamond Pass, read the current event's eligibility rules first; a pass purchase and daily Diamond claims need not be treated like one immediate recharge.

The best sequence is simple: claim free Chou progress, inspect the live Aspirants and Grand Rebate tasks, set a Diamond limit, and only then choose a top-up amount. Chou's puzzle remains free regardless of whether you participate in Premium Supply.

FAQ

Is Chou Starforger's Glory free?

Yes. MLBB's official anniversary schedule presents it as a free reward from the Skin Jigsaw Puzzle - Chou event. You still need to complete the event requirements and claim it before the deadline.

When does the Chou puzzle end?

The published window is September 18 to October 25, 2026. Check the in-game countdown for the exact closing hour on your server.

When is Aspirants Premium Supply in September 2026?

The original-server event roundup lists September 18-22 and September 25-29, in server time. Verify the live dates in your game.

Does ten Aspirants draws guarantee Ruby or Angela?

No. The previously published official wording guarantees an Epic-or-better skin every ten draws. The featured Aspirants outcome follows the current event's separate Bingo or Orb rules.

Can one top-up count for Premium Supply and Grand Rebate?

Their listed windows overlap September 18-21. Check both live task descriptions and the qualifying recharge type before purchasing; the overlap alone does not guarantee that a particular product counts twice.
