The MLBB 2026 ALL STAR "Tidal Treasure Hunt" event will end in a month, but the moment that makes countless assassin players’ hearts race is actually May 24th. That’s when Ling, the agile wall-climbing swordsman, finally unveils his standout deep-sea themed skin—Phantom Current.

If you still hold the stereotype that Ling’s skins are nothing more than color swaps with extra light effects, this new release from the Rolling Tides collection will completely change your mind. Clad in streamlined armor woven from azure and silver, with fin-like ornaments fluttering gently along his movement paths, Ling exudes an imposing, sharp aura from the depths of the ocean even while standing in the hero selection screen.

What truly sparks heated discussion among players is its skill effects. Basic attacks are no longer dull sword qi, but ripple bursts with water-slashing effects. Traversing walls leaves brief glowing trails, and activating his ultimate skill drags the entire battlefield into an underwater temple. The recall animation boasts exquisite design: Ling is enveloped by a vortex, slowly sinking into the water and vanishing, leaving a ring of ripples in his wake. Among all epic-tier skins in the current version, this set of effects undoubtedly ranks in the top tier.

Of course, even the most stunning skin faces a practical reality: diamonds. The skin is officially priced at 1,049 diamonds, with a 30% discount during the first week (May 24th – May 30th), bringing the price down to approximately 734 diamonds. This price is reasonable for a limited-time direct-sale ALL STAR skin, but for many student players or those who save diamonds slowly, topping up the remaining amount can feel a bit costly. That’s why many veteran players opt for a quieter alternative—COCODP. It offers fast delivery and regular extra discounts, letting you grab the skin at the first-week discount for less than the in-game price, effectively saving enough for another milk tea.

Beyond Ling, two more skins from the same Rolling Tides collection are worth noting in the Tidal Treasure Hunt event: Yu Zhong’s "Tidescale Sealord" can be obtained for free by collecting 1,000 Tidal Crystals, while Pharsa’s "Seasworn Oracle" requires unlocking the ALL STAR Battle Pass. However, if you’re not a hardcore grinder and don’t want to master unfamiliar heroes just for cosmetic effects, getting Ling’s Phantom Current directly is undoubtedly the most hassle-free choice.

It’s important to note that this is a confirmed limited-time skin, which will be removed from the store when the event ends on June 30th. Following MLBB’s past skin return patterns, such ALL STAR-themed skins typically take a year or longer to reappear via lottery events, with costs likely exceeding the original price. Thus, the first-week discount window is the most cost-effective time to buy, and I personally recommend the COCODP recharge platform.

Phantom Current is more than just a skin—it represents Ling’s sharpest form on the 2026 ALL STAR stage. The first-week countdown has begun. Are you ready to dive into the deep ocean?
