MLBB Shining Album: Free Joy Skin Tasks and Rewards
Current status: Reviewed July 28, 2026 at about 10:23 UTC+8 in the English MLBB client. Shining Album was still visible with about 7d 5h remaining, and the Highlights Calendar also rendered in English. Confirm the live event timer before using the final claim or draw options.
MLBB Shining Album is now live as a Joy-focused card event. Players collect Card Packs, open them for Normal Cards and Holo Cards, then use card progress to work toward skin chest rewards connected to Joy's "Badlands Scrapper" route. Start with the free login and match tasks first, because the event gives daily and bonus pack sources before you need to think about any paid draw option.
Quick answer: Shining Album is an active MLBB card-collection event for Joy's Special skin route. As of the July 28, 2026 English in-game recheck, the timer showed about 7d 5h remaining, still pointing to an approximate August 4, 2026 deadline (UTC+8 estimate). The safest route is to finish daily login and match tasks, collect bonus Card Packs, open packs for Normal Cards and Holo Cards, and only consider spending if your own event page shows a paid draw that fits your remaining card progress.
Shining Album Dates and Deadline
As of July 28, 2026 at about 10:23 UTC+8, the English Shining Album event page showed about 7d 5h remaining. That still points to an approximate deadline around August 4, 2026, with exact timing depending on the live server timer. MLBB timers can vary by server and account, so use this date for planning and still check the live timer in your own Festival page before the final claim.
| Item | What it means | Player check |

How Shining Album Rewards Work
Shining Album uses Card Packs as the starting point. Open packs to receive cards, then build toward bigger rewards as your card collection improves. Completing all Normal Cards grants a Random Elite Skin Chest x1. Collecting enough Holo Cards upgrades the reward path to an Elite Skin Selection Chest x1, while collecting all Holo Cards can upgrade the route toward a Badlands Scrapper Skin Selection Chest option for Joy "Badlands Scrapper" or a Random Special Skin Chest option.
Best Free Task Route
The simplest path is to collect every free Card Pack you can before using any paid option. Daily tasks include logging in, completing one match, and completing three matches. Bonus tasks add longer progress goals such as weekly login, multi-day login, and match totals. These tasks are useful because they keep moving your card collection forward without forcing an immediate Diamond decision.
| Task source | Examples | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Tasks | Log in, complete 1 match, complete 3 matches. | Finish these first each day for steady Card Packs. |
| Bonus Tasks | Weekly login, 3-day login, 5-day login, complete 8 matches. | Use them to build progress over the full event window. |
| Gift / request cards | Send, request, or trade missing cards where available. | Try exchanges after opening your own packs so you know which cards are missing. |
Should You Spend Diamonds?
Do not start with Diamonds. Open the free packs first, check how many Normal Cards and Holo Cards you still need, then decide whether a paid draw is worth it. A paid route only makes sense if your own event page shows a clear cost, your remaining card gap is small enough, and the upgraded reward is something you actually want.
If you decide to prepare Diamonds after checking the live event page, use the ManaBuy MLBB top-up page after confirming your UID, Zone ID, event timer, and budget. For broader planning, keep the MLBB Events and Skins Tracker open beside the event page.
