MLBB Argus Raiden Maru Skin Preview: 09/01 Exquisite Collection

MLBB has officially previewed Argus "Raiden Maru" for the September Exquisite Collection event on 09/01. The confirmed anchor is narrow but clear: the hero is Argus, the skin name is Raiden Maru, the theme is a Titans-style mecha suit with samurai culture, and the event label is September Exquisite Collection.

That is enough to plan around the skin, but not enough to publish price or draw advice as final. The Diamond price, draw cost, reward pool, probability, guarantee, exchange shop, and free-versus-paid boundary are still unknown until the event opens or the English game client exposes the rules. Treat this as a launch preview and checklist, not a finished cost guide.

Quick answer: Argus "Raiden Maru" is confirmed by official MLBB channels as an upcoming skin for the September Exquisite Collection on 09/01. Players should watch for the event page on launch day before spending, because the price route, draw rules, pool, discounts, and guarantee are not confirmed yet.

Argus is the confirmed hero anchor for Raiden Maru. The skin-specific shop or draw page still needs launch-day verification.

Why Argus Players Should Care

Argus is a front-line Fighter who wins value from commitment: he dives, forces trades, uses blink and attack tools to stay on target, and relies on death-immunity timing to survive the moment when most Fighters would have to back out. A Collector-style or Exquisite Collection skin is mainly a cosmetic decision, but for a hero like Argus it can matter because players see the model, sword effects and combat animation constantly during lane trades and all-in fights.

If Argus is already in your EXP lane pool, Raiden Maru belongs on your watchlist. If you only play him rarely, wait for the event page and preview effects before setting aside Diamonds. A strong visual theme does not make the event cost efficient by itself.

What To Check On 09/01

Open the September Exquisite Collection page and confirm Raiden Maru is the featured reward.
Check the 1x and 10x draw buttons before spending any Diamonds or Crystals of Aurora.
Look for first-draw, first-10x, daily or limited-time discount wording.
Read the rules page for guarantee, pity, probability, duplicate conversion and exchange-shop language.
Check whether returning skins or other rewards make the pool useful even if Raiden Maru is not pulled early.
Confirm the end timer and any separate exchange or claim deadline.

Unknown until launch: do not assume the August Exquisite Collection pricing, discounts or reward pool will copy exactly into September. ManaBuy will refresh this page after the English event rules are visible.

Budget Planning Before The Event Opens

The safest pre-launch plan is simple: decide whether Raiden Maru is a target skin or only a curiosity, then set a spending ceiling before opening the draw. Exquisite Collection-style events can feel efficient when a first-draw discount is visible, but the real decision depends on the complete pool and guarantee line.

Players who plan to top up should check their User ID, Zone ID, current Diamond balance and payment amount before the event begins. Avoid topping up for a guessed price. Wait until the event page confirms the draw cost and whether any discount or guaranteed reward changes the value of the first pull.

Check the MLBB top-up page

The canonical MLBB Events and Skins Tracker lists Raiden Maru as an upcoming September Exquisite Collection item and should be checked again when the launch page opens. For hero context, read the Argus EXP lane guide. For spending context, compare the MLBB skin value guide and Collector skin cost guide.

FAQ

When is Argus Raiden Maru expected to arrive?

Official MLBB channels list Raiden Maru for the September Exquisite Collection event on 09/01. The exact in-game opening time still needs to be confirmed from the English event timer.

Is the Raiden Maru price confirmed?

No. The price, draw cost, discount rule, reward pool, probability, guarantee and exchange shop were not confirmed at the time of this preview. Those details should be checked after the event page opens.

Should I top up before September 1?

Only if you already planned to buy Diamonds for MLBB and have checked your account details. Do not top up for a guessed Raiden Maru cost before the rules page confirms how the event works.

Is Raiden Maru a gameplay upgrade for Argus?

No skin should be treated as a gameplay power upgrade. The value is cosmetic: model, effects, animations and collection priority for players who already like Argus.

What will ManaBuy update after launch?

After the English event page is readable, this guide should be refreshed with the draw route, cost, pool, discount, guarantee, end timer and any free or paid task boundary.
