There’s not much better than enjoying your favorite game, except maybe enjoying multiple simultaneously. You can do this by participating in collaboration events between different developers, letting you use your favorite characters outside of where they’re supposed to be. ForMobile Legends: Bang Bang, these collabs result in amazing skins for you to equip on your best Heroes!
Over the years, MLBB has done more than a couple of collabs. From hit anime like Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen to popular games like King of Fighters, and even some odd choices like Ducati and Sanrio, here are the best collabs Mobile Legends has gotten.
Hero Lane
Jungle/Gold
Most characters in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang are human. While there are the occasional monsters like Gloo or mechs like Edith, the game’s design philosophy pays special attention to humanoid characters over all else. If you’re a fan of non-humans but don’t like any of the existing Heroes, you’re able to get any of the Transformer skins!
Granger is one of thestrongest and most interesting marksmen in MLBB, requiring you to play more like askill-based fighterthan someone who can rely on auto attacks. This already interesting kit fits Megatron well, letting you shoot out blasts and transform into a living weapon with Granger’s Ultimate.

You might want to buy skins for a number of reasons. You may want to look cooler, may think the effects on a skill look nice, or just want to look like your favorite character from a game or anime. If one of your motivations is to look pretty, getting Aurora’s Kula Diamond skin should be a no-brainer.
Kula is one of the best-looking King of Fighters characters, and her skin in Mobile Legends does justice to the original design. She has gorgeous skill effects, new recall animations, and a lot of things that make you feel as if you’re part of the KoF world, even in the Land of Dawn.
Jungle
Ninjas are some of the most widely beloved character archetypes in fiction. With their ability to sneak into the shadows and assassinate targets before they ever get a chance to fight back, it’s no wonder so many games, shows, and anime have at least one ninja among their roster.
For Mobile Legends, this character is Hayabusa, using everything from shurikens to shadow clones to teleport across the map. This fits the Copy Ninja, Kakashi, perfectly, who utilizes Hayabusa’s skillset to use Jutsu we’ve seen in the Naruto anime, including Shadow Clone Jutsu, Substitution Jutsu, and his signature Lightning Blade.
EXP/Roam
The King of Fighters has many remarkable and memorable designs that any fighting game fan can recognize from a distance. From the ever-cool Kula Diamond to the fiery Kyo Kusanagi, King of Fighters has some of the best-designed characters in gaming.
Of these, a design that is instantly recognizable for how maniacal it looks is Iori Yagami, the sadistic anti-hero who antagonizes many of the characters we play as. This feeling of dread at seeing the character fits Chou perfectly, a Hero you just know is going to one-shot you the moment they come into your vision. Plus, Chou’s lockdown Ultimate fits Iori’s Special, with both of them stunning enemies and releasing a flurry of blows.
Gusion’s default skin by itself is plenty cool, especially due to his second skillsending out up to ten daggerswhen used with his Ultimate. This lets many of Gusion’s skins go all out on the skill effects, and King of Fighers’s K' does this perfectly.
K' is naturally a stylish character, so he fits well with Gusion’s show-offy playstyle. He can dash across the battlefield while shooting, kicking, and snapping out fire on his enemies, resting his hands comfortably in his pockets. If you’re looking for a skin that makes you stand out, not many will come close to Gusion as K'.
Designing skins for characters isn’t an easy task. Even if a collab character seems to have similar abilities to a Hero, you can still run into problems when implementing others. On the other hand, sometimes a character’s abilities fit like a glove, but their design doesn’t let developers make a good skin.
Sometimes, though, it’s almost as if a character was created with an eventual skin collab in mind, and Suyou’s Sasuke skin feels like such a case. Everything from Suyou’s fighter form summoning a ghost like the Susanoo to his skills and weapon feel like Sasuke always belonged in the game, making it one of MLBB’s best anime-themed skins.
Jungle/EXP
Jujutsu Kaisen took the world by storm the moment it came out, solidifying its spot as one of thebest shonen animedue to its likable characters, gorgeous animation, and adrenaline-inducing action. Seeing its success, it’s no surprise that the JJK X Mobile Legends: Bang Bang collab was one of ML’s best.
Of the many skins that came out with it, the one with the best effects would be the protagonist’s skin, Yuji Itadori. The skin can be equipped on Yin, who can use Yuji’s Domain Expansion and transform into Sukuna after getting a kill!

Deciding who to collaborate with is a very difficult question for game companies, since a failed collab means you not only disappoint the audience, but also lose plenty of money for licensing the characters. Due to this, most games stick to safer collabs, choosing shows or games that are currently popular and targeting a teen or young adult audience.
Mobile Legends does this as well, but one of its best collabs was with the Disney movie, Kung Fu Panda. The original Kung Fu Panda is great, and all three skins released a wonder to have, but the General Kai skin for Thamuz specifically completely reimagines the character, making it one ofMLBB’s best skins.
While it was certainly not always this popular, anime is now mainstream, and anime characters some of the most widely recognizable ones in fiction. Of the many anime characters that have become more popular than their anime itself, Gojo has become the internet’sfavorite white haired mascotever since the JJK anime came out.
To bring Gojo to the Land of Dawn, Mobile Legends’s Xavier serves as his vessel. His skills as a mage fit Gojo well, and despite not making use of either Infinity or Limitless, shooting a Hollow Purple and killing an enemy across the map is a pleasure unlike any else.
While most Heroes in Mobile Legends are relatively simple in their designs, there are certain characters that have multiple forms. This makes such characters require more work to be put in for each skin, but it also lets the design team express themselves more than they could when stuck with a single design.
This means that, for the most part, you’ll always be getting more out of skins with heroes like Yin or Lukas, and the latter has one of the best anime skins in ML with Naruto Lukas. This skin lets you use base Naruto and his Rasengan, but then also lets you transform into his Six Paths Sage Mode, and even a full manifestation of Kurama with your Ultimate!
