March 2026 is the heaviest skin month of the year so far. A Legend event, a Collector drop, three Covenant skins, a Starlight skin, two Season 40 freebies, and the most anticipated collab of the year all land before April. Here is everything confirmed and leaked, broken out by release date.
#March 1: Freya "Starborn Resolve". Starlight Skin
How to get it: Purchase a Starlight Membership in-game on or after March 1. Cost: 300 Diamonds (Starlight Membership price).
Freya is getting her first Starlight skin in years, and the design actually earns the tier. The leaked model shows a cosmic gold and blue armor set with glowing energy wings replacing her usual metal silhouette. Skill effects get the full Starlight treatment: star particle bursts on her S1 valkyrie spear slam, and constellation trail animations on her S2.
For a Starlight skin, the visual work is above average. Freya's existing skins lean heavily into dark red and warrior aesthetics. Starborn Resolve breaks that pattern entirely with a celestial, almost divine look. If you play Freya even semi-regularly, this is one of the stronger Starlight values in recent months.
Starlight Membership also comes with an exclusive trail effect, a new Sacred Statue display item, and double Crystals of Aurora for the month, which helps offset the cost of the Exquisite Collection event running simultaneously.
#March 1: Tigreal. Collector Skin (Exquisite Collection)
How to get it: Exquisite Collection event, resets March 1. Cost: 2,000, 3,500 Diamonds depending on daily discounts and spend tasks.
Tigreal's Collector skin was originally slated for November 2025, got delayed, and finally lands in the March Exquisite Collection. The skin name has not been officially confirmed at time of writing, but the model has been circulating in leaks for weeks.
The Exquisite Collection event gives you one 50%-discounted single draw per day and a 30% discount on your first 10x pull. Returning Collector skins in the March prize pool include Minsittar, Vale, Nana, and Melissa, so the pool has decent depth for players chasing older skins alongside the new Tigreal.
For Tigreal mains, a Collector skin is long overdue. He is one of the oldest tank heroes without one. If the final design holds to what leaked models show, it's worth the diamond spend. Tigreal's base animations are functional but dated; a Collector skin with reworked skill effects would be a genuine upgrade to his visual presence.
#March 3: Shadow Covenant Trio. Lylia, Eudora, Natan
Skins:
- Lylia "Phantasmal Revelry"
- Eudora "Midnight's Allure"
- Natan "Sanguine Steward"
How to get them: Covenant Battle Pass system (Normal and Premium pass tiers). Cost: 399 Diamonds (Normal Pass) / 599 Diamonds (Premium Pass) per skin. Natan's skin is tied to a team recharge mechanic requiring approximately 6,000 Diamonds total spend across teammates.
All three are Shadow Covenant series skins, which means darker palettes, gothic motifs, and shared visual language across the trio. Lylia's "Phantasmal Revelry" leans into a playful-yet-sinister aesthetic. Eudora's "Midnight's Allure" is exactly what it sounds like: electric dark glamour. Natan's "Sanguine Steward" rounds out the set with deep crimson tones.
At 399 for the Normal Pass, each Covenant skin is solid value. They sit between Special and Epic quality in practice, with new color schemes and refreshed effect colors. The Natan skin's team recharge requirement is the main drawback for solo players. If your squad isn't planning to top up anyway, the barrier is real.
#March 6: Eternal Seasons Phase 2. Guinevere and Pharsa
How to get them: Eternal Seasons event, draw system using Diamonds for Season Crests. Cost: 1,200 Season Crests per skin. Realistically 750, 1,800 Diamonds per skin depending on how aggressively you use the 25-Diamond daily discount draw.
Phase 1 of the Eternal Seasons event launched February 20 with Miya "Arrow of Spring" and Floryn "Herald of Autumn." Phase 2 begins March 6 and introduces the remaining two seasonal skins.
Leaked data points to Guinevere taking the Summer slot and Pharsa taking Winter. These are unconfirmed but consistent across multiple leaker sources. Guinevere Summer would bring warm yellow and orange radiance to her butterfly animations. Pharsa Winter is the more interesting visual proposition: frost and aurora effects layered onto her aerial bombardment, which already has massive visual space to work with.
The Eternal Seasons gacha system is smarter than standard draw events. Direct skin pull rate is 0.08%, so the event is really built around accumulating Season Crests through draws and milestone bonuses, then exchanging them at the shop. The 25-Diamond daily draw is non-negotiable if you're chasing either skin. Do it every single day from Phase 2 launch.
If you are a Pharsa main and the Winter design delivers on the leaked concept, this is the skin to spend on this month. The 1,200-Crest threshold is achievable without dumping your entire diamond reserve if you are disciplined about daily pulls.
#March 8: Fanny "Galactic Starhawk". Legend Skin (Galactic Starhawk Event)
How to get it: Galactic Starhawk limited draw event. Also available via Standard Gifting from select resellers at approximately ₱5,500 PHP. Cost: 1,600 Stellar Tokens from the event shop; tokens earned through 100 Diamond draws (50% off first daily draw, 500 Diamonds for first 10x draw).
This is the headline skin of the month. Fanny's Legend skin has been in development for a long time, and the Galactic Starhawk name has been circulating since late 2025. It is now confirmed for March 8.
The skin is tagged as limited, meaning it exits the standard shop after the event window closes. It comes with a dual display scene, a first for any Legend skin in MLBB. The Golden and Silver ID tag system is also active, recording who obtained the skin earliest, which adds a collector's incentive for early spenders.
The event shop also includes Guinevere "Psion of Tomorrow" as a second Supreme-tier skin, plus returning skins like Moskov "Infernal Wyrmlord" and Hanabi "Moonlit Ninja" at 600 Stellar Tokens each.
Fanny mains already know how badly she needed this. Her existing skin options are fine, but none of them match the tier of her gameplay ceiling. A full Legend skin with reworked cable animations, custom effects on every ability, and a dual display scene puts this in the top-tier skin releases of 2026. Gacha event, yes, but the Wish Box system and milestone rewards provide enough cushion that you won't feel completely at the mercy of RNG.
#March 11, 12: Season 40 Launch, Chip and Esmeralda
Season 40 release date: March 11, 2026.
Two skins arrive with the new season:
- Chip gets a free S40 season skin, awarded through season progression (reach Master rank or above).
- Esmeralda gets a Special skin tied to the Season 40 first purchase. This is a one-time buy available at season launch, typically priced around 150, 200 Diamonds.
Neither of these is a must-have. Season skins are always worth grabbing if you play those heroes at all since the path to earning them costs you nothing beyond your ranked grind. Esmeralda's Special is situationally worth picking up if you run her often and don't own a better skin for her already.
#March 27: MLBB x Naruto Phase 2. Julian "Itachi" and Gusion "Minato"
Status: Unconfirmed by Moonton. Leaked by AceUnyil, cross-referenced by multiple community sources. Target date: March 27, 2026. How to get them: Expected gacha draw system with token exchange, matching previous Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen event structures.
This is the one everyone is watching. MLBB x Naruto Phase 2 pairs Julian with Itachi Uchiha and Gusion with Minato Namikaze, and leaked gameplay clips make a strong case that both skins are being treated as full animation overhauls, not surface-level recolors.
Julian as Itachi is a Sharingan fever dream. The leaked skill effects show a consistent crimson and black palette across all abilities. Julian's projectiles become Katon fireballs with layered flame textures. Black flame visuals resembling Amaterasu appear on one ability, lingering on terrain with a dark red hue adjusted for in-game readability. Crow imagery transitions between ability animations. The enhanced basic attack sequence shows spectral Susanoo arms striking alongside Julian, which is one of the most ambitious collab skin effects MLBB has produced. Julian has been the go-to hero for anime collab skins, and Itachi fits him better than anything before.
Gusion as Minato leans into speed and precision rather than spectacle. Gusion's daggers become Hiraishin kunai, marking enemies on hit. The teleport chain animations are sharp yellow-flash movements, clean and instant, selling Minato's identity as the fastest shinobi far better than a flashier effect could. The ultimate animation includes Minato's iconic Fourth Shinobi World War arrival pose, which is exactly the kind of fan service that makes a collab skin worth owning even if you're not a hardcore Naruto fan.
The event draw structure is expected to mirror Phase 1 and other licensed collab events: gacha pulls with token accumulation for direct exchange. Phase 1 players know what to expect in terms of diamond commitment.
Note: Everything about MLBB x Naruto Phase 2 remains unconfirmed as of February 24, 2026. These details come from leaked assets and community tracking. The March 27 date, hero pairings, and skill effect descriptions are all subject to change or cancellation before Moonton officially announces the event.

#Where to Focus Your Diamonds
If your budget is limited, here is the honest priority order for March:
- Freya Starlight if you play her. Best value-per-diamond this month.
- Fanny Legend if she is in your hero pool. A limited skin at this tier does not come back cheaply.
- Lylia / Eudora Covenant for casual spenders who want a new skin without committing to a full event.
- Naruto Phase 2 skins for Naruto fans or Julian/Gusion mains. Budget unknown until official announcement.
- Tigreal Collector for dedicated tank mains. Solid investment, not urgent.
- Eternal Seasons Phase 2 only if you have leftover crest currency from Phase 1 or you're a Guinevere/Pharsa main.
March is genuinely stacked. Pace yourself.
