GUIDE · CRYSTALS OF AURORA
MLBB Crystals of Aurora vs Diamonds.
Crystals of Aurora (COA) can reduce the Diamonds you need for certain draws, but they are not a universal second currency for every MLBB event.
What COA does
On an eligible draw screen, one COA generally covers the same draw-price unit as one Diamond. A 25-cost discounted draw can therefore consume 25 COA when the event accepts it. The usable amount is limited by your COA balance and the specific event rules.
What COA does not do
COA cannot automatically pay for every collaboration event, shop purchase, recharge task or spend task. Never assume a calculator’s Diamond result can be fully replaced with COA unless the live draw screen explicitly shows COA as an accepted payment method.
How to budget correctly
- Calculate the full draw cost under your chosen route.
- Confirm the event accepts COA.
- Subtract only the COA currently available to spend.
- Keep the remaining amount as your Diamond shortfall.
Example: a Collector route costs 2,800 and you own 600 COA. If every remaining draw accepts COA, plan for roughly 2,200 Diamonds. Do not count future COA until it is actually in your balance.
