The MLBB April Exquisite Collection 2026 event is live, and this month's headliner is Grock "Tremor of the Deep." The event runs April 1 through April 30 with a 50% daily discount on your first single draw. Here's the full breakdown of the skin, the event pool, and whether any of it is worth your Crystals.
#What Is the MLBB April Exquisite Collection Event?
The Exquisite Collection is MLBB's rotating premium gacha, refreshed each month with a new featured Collector skin. It uses Crystals of Aurora as its exclusive currency, which exchange 1:1 with Diamonds. Access it through the Starlight icon under the Collection tab.
Each day, your first single draw costs 25 Crystals instead of the standard 50. A 10x draw runs 350 Crystals instead of 500. Both discounts reset daily at midnight (UTC+8), so the efficient play is one discounted single per day before any bulk draws. Over 30 days, that's 750 Crystals spent on 30 draws versus spending 1,500 at full price.
There is no traditional escalating pity here. The system uses Regal Coins, earned from duplicate conversions, and those coins carry forward permanently across future events. Skipping a month loses you accumulation time but resets nothing mechanically.
#Grock "Tremor of the Deep" Collector Skin
Grock's Collector skin arrives as the April Titans series entry, and it's the deepest visual departure his skin catalog has seen. The concept is full deep-sea monster: midnight blue and dark teal armor plating, bioluminescent accents along his frame, and particle effects that commit to the underwater theme from passive to ultimate.
The skill rework is not cosmetic padding. His passive (Iron Wall) gains a seafloor anchor animation with water rippling outward when he bonds to a wall. His first skill launches what reads as a hydrothermal geyser rather than a rock shard, with bubbling particle trails on impact. The ultimate wall slam triggers a deep-sea pressure effect with cracking ground and a distinct wave of impact particles. These are genuine animation rewrites, not palette swaps.
The entrance animation runs a full cinematic of him emerging from the ocean floor before the match loads. For a hero who had never received a Collector skin before this, "Tremor of the Deep" sits at the undisputed top of his lineup with nothing above it to undercut the value.
If you play Grock with any regularity, this is worth pulling for. His prior Special skins don't come close to this quality tier. If you're a casual or rarely touch the hero, this is a clear skip.
#All Skins in the April Event Pool
New Collector (featured):
- Grock "Tremor of the Deep"
Revamped Collector skins (returning):
Luckybox skins:
The returning Ling "Serene Plume" and Pharsa "Empress Phoenix" are both high-tier Collectors. Pharsa's "Empress Phoenix" ult animation ranks among the better Collector visual treatments any mage has received in the past year. If you missed either during their original run, April's pool is a legitimate opportunity to chase them.
#How Much Does It Cost?
| Draw Type | Standard | Daily Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 50 Crystals | 25 Crystals |
| 10x | 500 Crystals | 350 Crystals |
Regal Coins from duplicate conversions:
| Item | Coins Earned |
|---|---|
| Collector skin dupe | 240 |
| Special skin dupe | 45 |
| Elite skin dupe | 36 |
| Basic skin / Avatar Border | 16 |
A Legend-tier skin redemption costs 720 Regal Coins. Collector skins are obtained through the draw pool rather than direct purchase with coins. The coin system primarily gives you a long-term path to Legend skins rather than a guaranteed route to the monthly Collector.
For context on realistic cost: getting to 30 draws (using daily 25-Crystal singles plus occasional 10x at 350) costs roughly 1,050 to 1,400 Crystals depending on how you split your draws. That nets you around 281 Regal Coins on average and a pool of items that includes chances at all skins listed above.
#Is the April Exquisite Collection Worth Your Diamonds?
For Grock mains, this is one of the cleaner "just get it" cases in recent months. There's no competing higher-tier skin, the visual upgrade over his existing options is dramatic, and the event timing gives you a full month with daily discounts to work down the cost.
For everyone else, the calculus depends on whether you play Ling or Pharsa and missed those Collectors previously. Both are legitimately good skins. Pharsa's "Empress Phoenix" in particular punches above average for Collector-tier mage designs.
The event structure rewards gradual participation over burst spending. One discounted draw per day over 30 days adds up to 30 pulls for 750 Crystals, which is the most efficient entry point short of doing 350-Crystal 10x draws each day. Your Regal Coins never disappear, so there's no urgency to spend hard this month if you're not targeting a specific skin.
April is a busy cosmetics month overall. The Zetian Sunset Luminance Starlight skin also launched this month, so budget accordingly if you're holding both the Starlight pass and the Exquisite Collection. Prioritize whichever hero you actually play more.
