MLBB New Skins 2026: Wanwan Exorcist & Yu Zhong Allstar Review

The Land of Dawn is about to get a massive infusion of style. Moonton has officially teased the next wave of premium skins for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and mains of the Agile Tiger and the Black Dragon have every reason to celebrate. We are entering the "Season of Spectacle" with the debut of Wanwan's Exorcist skin and Yu Zhong's Allstar (515) skin.

These aren't just simple recolors; they are high-tier skins that fundamentally change the visual and auditory experience of the heroes. Wanwan joins the gritty, supernatural "Exorcist" squad alongside Yu Zhong and Kagura (ironically, Yu Zhong gets two spotlights here), while Yu Zhong himself steps into the limelight as the frontman for the 2026 Allstar music festival.

But with high quality comes a high price tag. Is the Exorcist gacha rigged? Can you really get the Allstar skin for 1 Diamond? And how do these skins compare to their Collector or Legend counterparts? In this comprehensive guide, ManaBuy breaks down every pixel, particle effect, and Diamond cost to help you decide where to invest your resources.

The Exorcist Squad Expands: Wanwan "Spectral Hunter"

The Exorcist skin line is fan-favorite for its urban-fantasy aesthetic, blending modern streetwear with traditional Eastern supernatural elements. Wanwan is the latest addition to this paranormal task force.

Visual Analysis: A Darker Agile Tiger

Gone is the playful, bright aesthetic of her M-World or Collector skins. Exorcist Wanwan features:

Model: She wears a modified exorcist uniform with talismans hanging from her waist. Her crossbow is reimagined as a "Spirit Sealing Device."

Color Palette: Deep Indigo, Neon Blue, and Phantom White.

Skill Effects Breakdown

• Passive (Tiger Pace): The weakness markers on enemies are now glowing blue "Spirit Runes." When all weaknesses are hit, a spectral tiger avatar roars above the enemy.
• Skill 1 (Swallow's Path): She throws a talisman that transforms into a spirit bird. The returning dagger leaves a trail of blue fire.
• Skill 2 (Needles in Flowers): The cleanse effect creates a burst of spiritual energy, removing crowd control with a sharp "glass shattering" sound effect.
• Ultimate (Crossbow of Tang): This is the showstopper. Instead of jumping into the air, Wanwan enters a "Spirit Form," becoming translucent. She fires bolts of blue lightning rapidly. The sound design is heavy on bass and traditional bells.

Acquisition Method: The Exorcist Draw

Wanwan Exorcist will likely be available via a limited-time "Urban Exorcism" draw event.

Estimated Cost:

Unlike direct purchase skins, this is a Gacha.

- Daily Discount: 50% off first draw.

- Exchange Shop: You collect "Exorcism Charms" to redeem the skin.

- Average Cost: ~4,000 to 6,000 Diamonds.

Pro Tip: If you already own other Exorcist skins (like Kagura or Yu Zhong), you might get a "Squad Bonus" discount or extra tokens during the event. Check the event rules carefully.

The Allstar Headliner: Yu Zhong "Cosmic Bass"

The Allstar (formerly 515) event is the biggest annual celebration in MLBB. Yu Zhong, usually depicted as a serious villain, gets a complete makeover as a Cyber-Punk Musician.

Visual Analysis: From Dragon to DJ

Model: Yu Zhong trades his robes for a high-tech, holographic jacket. His dragon scales are now LED panels that pulse to the beat of the music.

Dragon Form: The Black Dragon becomes a "Cyber-Dragon" made of neon lights and sound waves. It looks like something straight out of a synth-wave music video.

Skill Effects Breakdown

• Passive (Cursing Touch): Sha Residue stacks are now musical notes. When fully stacked, the eruption effect looks like a speaker bass drop.
• Skill 1 (Dragon Tail): His cloak spin creates a vinyl record scratching effect on the ground.
• Skill 2 (Soul Grip): He unleashes a sound wave that slows enemies.
• Ultimate (Black Dragon Form): The transformation sequence features a dubstep drop. As he flies, he leaves a trail of equalizers. Upon landing, the impact creates a massive concert stage light effect.

Acquisition Method: Promo Diamonds Event

This is the best part. Allstar skins are usually buyable in the shop, and you can use Promo Diamonds (Yellow Diamonds) to reduce the cost to as low as 1 Diamond.

How to get it for 1 Diamond:

1. Complete daily tasks during the "Allstar Festival" leading up to the release.

2. Earn Promo Diamonds (you can accumulate up to ~800-1000).

3. When the skin releases (Cost: 899 Diamonds, discounted to ~629), apply your Promo Diamonds at checkout.

4. You must pay at least 1 real Blue Diamond to finalize the transaction.

Comparative Analysis: Exorcist vs. Allstar

Which event offers better value? Let's break down the economics.

Feature	Wanwan Exorcist (Gacha)	Yu Zhong Allstar (Shop)
Rarity Tag	Limited (Exorcist)	Allstar (Time-Limited)
Visual Style	Dark Fantasy / Spiritual	Cyberpunk / Musical
Cost (USD)	~$50 - $100	~$10 - $15 (or Free with Promo Diamonds)
Exclusivity	High (Rarely returns)	Medium (Returns annually)
Extras	Recall Effect, Spawn Effect, Avatar Border	Painted Skin (Chroma) available separately

Verdict:

Value King: Yu Zhong Allstar. Getting a high-quality skin for essentially free (using Promo Diamonds) is unbeatable.

Flex King: Wanwan Exorcist. If you want to show off wealth and dedication to the hero, the Exorcist skin is the way to go.

Hero Meta Analysis: Are They Worth Playing in 2026?

A skin is only good if the hero is playable. Based on our MLBB Hero Tier List, here is where they stand.

Wanwan (Gold Lane)

Tier: A+

Wanwan remains a high-skill, high-reward marksman. In the current tanky meta, her True Damage and mobility make her a solid pick against heavy frontlines like Tigreal or Fredrinn. However, she is vulnerable to burst mages (Eudora, Aurora).

Skin Buff: There is a "hidden buff" with Exorcist skins where the sound effects are often crisper, making it easier to time your weakness breaks.

Yu Zhong (EXP Lane)

Tier: S

Yu Zhong is the king of the EXP lane. His sustain, zoning capability, and backline access make him a staple in both Ranked and Pro play. The Allstar skin's visual clutter on his Ultimate might actually help confuse enemies during team fights.

ManaBuy Top-Up Strategy

Whether you are gambling for Wanwan or just need that 1 Diamond for Yu Zhong, optimizing your spending is key.

The "Exorcist" Whale Strategy:

1. Daily Draws: Do the daily discounted draw (50% off) every day. This is cheaper than doing 10-pulls at once.

2. Recharge Events: Wait for the "Premium Supply" (Recharge Token) events. These usually happen twice during the event period. Top up a specific amount (e.g., 250 Diamonds) to get free tickets.

The "ManaBuy Advantage":

Instead of buying Diamonds in-app, use ManaBuy's MLBB Top-Up.

By purchasing your Diamonds here, you get more value per dollar. For the Exorcist event, where you might need 5000+ Diamonds, saving 15% via ManaBuy translates to hundreds of Diamonds—essentially giving you free pulls.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I gift the Yu Zhong Allstar skin using Promo Diamonds?

A: No. Promo Diamonds can only be used for your own purchases. If you gift a skin, you must pay the full Diamond price.

Q: Will Wanwan Exorcist return if I miss it?

A: Yes, but it will take a long time (usually 1 year+). And when it returns, it won't have the "First Week" discounts or recharge events, making it more expensive.

Q: Do I need to own the hero to buy the skin?

A: Yes. You cannot buy a skin if you don't own the hero. Make sure to buy Wanwan or Yu Zhong with Battle Points (BP) before the event starts.

Q: Is the Exorcist skin better than Wanwan's Collector (Pixel Blast)?

A: It depends on taste. Pixel Blast is colorful and arcade-themed. Exorcist is dark and serious. In terms of effect quality, Exorcist is newer and has higher fidelity textures.

Q: How do I get Promo Diamonds?

A: Participate in the "Allstar Promo Carnival" event. Usually involves asking friends for help (tapping a link) or completing daily login tasks. Start early to maximize your stack.

Conclusion

The 2026 updates for Mobile Legends are starting strong. The Wanwan Exorcist and Yu Zhong Allstar skins cater to two very different types of players: the collectors who want the rarest, darkest aesthetics, and the savvy spenders who want premium effects for a bargain.

Whichever path you choose, make sure you plan your Diamond spending. Utilize the recharge events, take advantage of the Promo Diamonds, and visit ManaBuy for the best deals to fuel your collection.

See you in the Land of Dawn!
