Zetian, the Celestial Empress, Arrives in MLBB — Here's How to Get Her for Free

A brand-new Mage hero, Zetian, is making her grand entrance into Mobile Legends: Bang Bang on June 18, 2025. As the 129th hero in the game, Zetian debuts on the global server as part of the Phoenix Empress Rising Patch 1.9.68—after her initial release on the Chinese server.

The best part? You can unlock her completely free through a limited-time event.

Shendu Festival: Special Event Overview

To celebrate Zetian’s launch, MLBB is hosting the Shendu Festival, an in-game promotional event similar to past hero releases like Kalea. Unlike Kalea’s Hero Pass, this is a standalone event running from June 18 to July 4, 2025.

During this period, players have the opportunity to unlock Zetian without spending Diamonds or Battle Points (BP). Of course, if you prefer, you can still purchase her the traditional way once the event concludes.

How to Unlock Zetian for Free

To obtain Zetian at no cost, players must collect Jade Pendants by completing event tasks. Once you’ve gathered enough, you’ll be able to redeem them for Zetian—potentially in just 5 days if you're consistent.

💡 Tip: Choose Method 1 in the event interface to ensure you can unlock Zetian without using Diamonds or BP.

The tasks are divided into two main categories:

1. Daily Training

• Earn up to 170 Jade Pendants over time.
• Rewards are given for daily logins and completing matches in Ranked, Classic, Brawl, or MLBB Rising Open modes.
• You can earn 10 Jade Pendants per day from this section.

2. Trials of Valor

• Earn up to 90 Jade Pendants by completing specific missions, including cumulative logins and other event-specific tasks.

Final Thoughts

With consistent participation, players can secure Zetian without spending any in-game currency. Don’t miss this opportunity to add the powerful Celestial Empress to your roster—completely free—before the Shendu Festival ends on July 4.
