Revamped Alucard Obsidian Blade Magic Wheel Discount And Exclusive Trail Effect Guide

The Demon Hunter Reborn: Project Reforge hits the Magic Wheel

Survivors, the moment we have been waiting for since the initial leaks of Project Reforge is finally here. It is January 30, 2026, and the Magic Wheel has just received a massive update. The legendary Demon Hunter, Alucard, has had his crown jewel polished. The revamped "Obsidian Blade" Legend Skin is now live, and it is not just a texture update—it is a complete reimagining of one of the most iconic skins in #MobileLegendsBangBang history.

For years, "Obsidian Blade" was the status symbol of the true Alucard main. It signaled a player who wasn't afraid to dive 1v5. However, as newer Legend skins like Lunox’s "Divine Goddess" or Franco’s "King of Hell" entered the arena with 4K textures and custom recall animations, our biker-themed demon hunter started to look a bit dated. Moonton has answered our prayers. The revamp brings modernized particle effects, a smoother model, and for the first time, exclusive accessory unlocks that are free if you obtain the skin.

But the clock is ticking. This update comes with a strict time-limited discount. From January 29 to February 01, there is a 20% OFF discount on Magic Wheel spins. That is a tight 4-day window to secure the skin at a reduced price. In this deep dive, we are going to dissect the visual upgrades, analyze the cost-efficiency of the Magic Wheel event, and provide a cutting-edge gameplay guide to ensure that when you equip this skin, you play like a Legend, not a feeder.

Visual Analysis: What’s New in the Revamp?

The difference between the old Obsidian Blade and the revamped version is night and day. The Project Reforge team has focused on "Clarity" and "Impact."

The Model and Animations

The cybernetic bike entrance animation has been completely redone. It is sharper, with dynamic camera angles that emphasize the "Drift" mechanic. In-game, Alucard’s coat physics have been improved to flow more naturally with his movements. The most significant change, however, is the "Impact" feel. When you land his Passive (Chase) attack, the screen shake and the neon-purple digital glitch effects feel much heavier. It gives a tactile satisfaction that was missing from the original.

The Exclusive Trail Effect

This is the headline feature. If you obtain the revamped skin, you unlock an exclusive "Trail Effect" for free.

• What is it? As Alucard moves (especially after using skills), he leaves a lingering trail of digital afterimages and exhaust fumes from his cybernetic suit.

• Why it matters: In a MOBA, visual cues are everything. While some argue that trails make you easier to track, for an Alucard player, it is about intimidation. Seeing that purple trail rushing out of a bush towards your Marksman induces panic. It visually extends your presence on the battlefield.

Other Exclusive Items

Alongside the trail, the revamp typically includes a custom Avatar Border, a specialized Recall Animation (often involving the bike), and exclusive Emotes. These are bundled "Free" upon acquisition of the skin, adding massive value to the 200 Magic Cores price tag.

The Magic Wheel Economy: Spinning Smart

Let’s talk numbers. The Magic Wheel is the premium gacha of #MLBB. You need 200 Magic Cores to exchange for a Legend Skin. If you are starting from zero, this can be an expensive endeavor.

The 20% Discount Strategy

The discount applies to the cost of the spins. Instead of 60 Diamonds for 1 spin or 270 for 5 spins, the price is slashed.

• The Math: Over the course of 200 spins (which usually guarantees enough cores), a 20% discount saves you thousands of diamonds. This is the only time you should be "whaling" on the Magic Wheel. If you spin outside of this Jan 29 - Feb 01 window, you are literally burning money.

Magic Potion vs. Diamonds

If you have been hoarding Magic Potions from the Starlight Pass or Daily Recharge events, use them now. The discount often applies to diamond spins, but using potions during a "Double Core" or "Discount" event is still the most efficient way to clear your inventory. However, if you run out of potions and need to dip into your diamond reserves to hit that 200 Core mark before February 1st, you need a backup plan.

Buying diamonds directly through the app store can be painful due to regional pricing and lack of bonuses. This is where savvy players gain an edge. I highly recommend you take a moment to Google search for "buffget". It is a platform that the veteran MLBB community uses to stretch their gaming budget. By using buffget, you can discover options to buy MLBB Diamonds that are safe, fast, and significantly cheaper than the standard in-game rates.

Typically, you can find top-up deals that are around 20% cheaper. When you combine that external savings with the in-game 20% discount, you are essentially getting the Legend skin for a fraction of its original cost. It is the smartest financial move for any collector.

Alucard Gameplay Guide Season 39: The Hybrid Assassin

Having a Legend skin increases your "Taunt Value." Enemies will target you. To survive in the current Season 39 meta, you cannot build Alucard as a glass cannon anymore. You need to adapt.

The "Sustain-Burst" Build

The current meta favors tanky junglers like Fredrinn or Barats. Alucard struggles to burst them down. Therefore, your build must focus on shredding HP while surviving their CC.

1. Tough Boots (Ice Retribution): Reduce Crowd Control duration. Essential.

2. Hunter Strike: For the movement speed and penetration. This allows you to stick to slippery targets.

3. Endless Battle: The core item. True damage procs are vital against high-armor targets.

4. Sea Halberd: Healing reduction is mandatory in 2026. Everyone heals. If you don't build this, you lose.

5. Malefic Roar: To pierce the tank's defense.

6. Rose Gold Meteor: This is your clutch item. The shield and magic defense allow you to survive a burst from mages like Vexana or Nana, giving you time to lifesteal back to full health.

Jungle Pathing: The "Level 4 Rush"

Alucard is useless before Level 4.

• Start: Blue Buff. You need the cooldown reduction and mana (energy) cost reduction.

• Rotation: Blue -> Lithowanderer (if safe) -> Red Buff -> Level 4 Gank.

• The Gank: Do not initiate with your Ultimate (Jump). Walk up or use Skill 1. Wait for the enemy to use their dash/flicker. Then use your Passive chase to follow them. Activate Ultimate only when you are committed to the fight for the lifesteal boost.

The "Combos" You Need to Know

• The Gap Closer: Skill 1 -> Passive Hit -> Skill 2 -> Passive Hit -> Ult -> Passive Hit -> Ult (Finisher).

• The Bush Camp: Ult (First Phase) -> Wait in bush -> Skill 1 -> Passive Hit -> Skill 2 -> Ult (Finisher). Pre-activating the Ult gives you the lifesteal benefit immediately upon engaging.

Handling the Pressure: The "Legend Skin Curse"

There is a phenomenon known as the "Skin Curse." When you equip a Legend skin, your team expects you to carry, and the enemy team expects you to be arrogant.

• Mental Warfare: Mute the chat if you miss your first gank. Focus on your farm. Alucard is an economy-dependent hero. If you are 2000 gold ahead, the skin looks cool. If you are 2000 gold behind, the skin looks like a joke.

• Exclusive Trail Effect Usage: Use the trail to fake rotations. Show yourself in the mid-lane, let the trail linger, then immediately double back into the jungle shadows. Use your visual loudness to confuse the enemy macro.

Final Opportunity: The February 1st Deadline

The promotional banner is clear: "Enjoy a limited-time 20% OFF discount from 01/29 to 02/01."

This deadline is strict. Once the server resets on February 2nd, the Magic Wheel spin cost will return to normal. If you are sitting at 150 Magic Cores, leaving those last 50 for later will cost you significantly more.

If you are scrambling to fill your account with enough diamonds to finish the draw before the deadline, remember to check buffget. Securing MLBB top up options through a discounted marketplace ensures you don't miss out on the exclusive Trail Effect just because you were a few diamonds short. The trail effect is "Free" only if you obtain the skin now; Moonton rarely re-releases exclusive effects for free later.

Conclusion: A Legend Reborn

The revamped Alucard "Obsidian Blade" is a triumph of Project Reforge. It respects the legacy of the character while bringing him up to speed with the modern visual standards of the game. The addition of the exclusive Trail Effect and other items makes this the most value-packed Legend Skin package currently available.

Whether you are an Alucard one-trick pony or a collector looking to complete your gallery, this weekend is the time to act. Spin the wheel, equip the bike, and remind the Land of Dawn why nothing lasts forever—except the legend of the Demon Hunter.

See you in the jungle, Legends.
