If you’ve spent any time scrolling through Mobile Legends player profiles or loading into high-rank matches, you’ve probably seen the glowing, rare sacred statue border that only a small percentage of players have unlocked. Many players search for how to get sacred statue in Mobile Legends, but most online results either push fake hacks that get your account banned or leave out critical details about eligibility. I’ve been playing MLBB for 6 years, hit Mythic 30+ stars for 8 straight seasons, and earned 3 sacred statues myself over that time, so I know exactly what works and what will waste your time. This guide breaks down every valid method, what you need to qualify, and what to avoid so you don’t risk losing your account over a cosmetic item.
Legitimate Methods to Get Sacred Statue in Mobile Legends
There are only 3 verified ways to earn a sacred statue directly from Moonton, no hacks, no paid exploits, no loopholes. All of these methods are 100% allowed under the game’s terms of service, so you won’t risk a ban for using them:
- Limited-time in-game event rewards: This is the most accessible way for casual and mid-tier players to get a sacred statue. These rewards usually pop up during big annual events, including the game’s anniversary, M-series World Championships, and major collaboration events (like the past Kung Fu Panda or Transformers crossovers). You will never find a sacred statue as a permanent shop item, so you have to check the in-game notice board regularly for new event announcements. Most of these events require simple, repeatable tasks: winning 2-3 ranked matches per day, sharing the event to your in-game friends list, or collecting event tokens that you exchange for the statue in the limited-time event shop. I got my first sacred statue during the M4 World Championship event, and all I had to do was watch 3 official pro match streams per week through the in-game portal for 4 weeks. It took almost no extra effort beyond remembering to log in to the stream page each week.
- Official MLBB community contest prizes: Moonton regularly runs giveaways and contests on their verified Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Discord servers, with sacred statues as top prizes for winners. Contests range from fan art competitions and best outplay clip submissions to simple giveaway entries where you only need to like, share, and comment on an official post. Only join contests hosted on verified Moonton accounts to avoid fake giveaways run by scammers. The odds of winning these are lower than grinding an in-game event, but they require almost no work if you already follow official MLBB social media accounts for update news.
- Top regional ranked season end rewards: If you’re a highly skilled player with time to grind, you can earn a sacred statue as part of end-of-season rewards if you finish in the top 100 of your regional ranked leaderboard, or top 50 of any national hero leaderboard. This method is not realistic for casual players, as it usually requires playing 10+ ranked matches per day consistently across the 2-month season to hold a high enough rank. You don't need to spend any money to qualify for this reward, just consistent performance and a good squad to queue with to avoid losing too many stars to bad random teammates.
None of these methods require you to spend real money, though you can speed up progress in some events by purchasing event tokens if you don’t have time to grind all the daily missions. That said, it’s entirely possible to earn a sacred statue for free if you’re willing to wait for the right event and put in a small amount of daily effort.
Eligibility Rules You Need to Know Before Grinding for a Sacred Statue
Too many players spend 2-3 weeks grinding event missions only to find out they don’t qualify for the reward when it’s time to claim it. I made this mistake myself a few years ago, so I always check these rules first before I start working toward any limited-time rare reward:
First, your account must be at least level 30, and you must have it tied to a verified Moonton account, Google Play, or Apple ID. Guest accounts cannot claim limited-time event rewards including sacred statues, because Moonton has no way to verify account ownership if you run into login issues or need to recover your account. If you’re still playing on a guest account, tie it to a verified profile now before you start grinding for any rare items.
Second, you need to meet the minimum match requirement for most events. Almost all events with sacred statue rewards require you to have played at least 20 ranked matches in the current season. This rule is in place to prevent smurf accounts from hoarding rare rewards and selling them on third-party sites. You also can't have any active account penalties when you go to claim the reward. If you have an active ranked ban, chat mute, or other penalty, the reward will be locked until your penalty is lifted. If the event ends before your penalty expires, you lose the chance to claim it entirely. I learned this the hard way during the M3 event: I got a 3-day chat ban for typing a frustrated comment in a toxic match 2 days before the event ended, and I lost out on a sacred statue I had spent 3 weeks grinding tokens for.
Common Scams to Avoid When Looking for a Sacred Statue
Because the sacred statue is such a rare, sought-after item, scammers have created dozens of schemes to steal player accounts or money from people who want the item quickly. Learning to spot these scams will save you from losing years of account progress or hundreds of dollars for nothing.
The most common scam is the “sacred statue generator” website that claims to give you unlimited free sacred statues if you enter your account ID and password. There is no such thing as a working sacred statue generator, any site that asks for your login credentials will steal your account immediately, and you’ll likely lose all your skins, heroes, and progress permanently. Moonton never gives players items outside of official in-game or social media events, so any site promising free rare items is a scam 100% of the time.
Another common scam is third-party sellers on Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or Discord who claim to sell accounts with sacred statues, or sell separate sacred statue codes. Most of these accounts are stolen, or the codes are fake, and Moonton regularly bans accounts that are bought or sold. Even if you get access to the account at first, you’ll likely lose it within a few weeks when the original owner recovers it, or Moonton flags the account as sold. The last common scam is fake event links sent to you via in-game chat or social media DMs, that claim to let you claim a free sacred statue if you click the link and enter your account details. Always check that any event link you click is hosted on an official Moonton domain, and never click links sent to you by random players.
How to Use Your Sacred Statue for Maximum In-Game Value
Once you finally earn your sacred statue, you want to make sure you use it in a way that fits your play style and gives you the most benefit for the effort you put in. You have three main options for using the item, and none of them are right or wrong, it just depends on what you care about most in the game.
First, you can use it to unlock exclusive sacred statue profile borders and loading screen effects that show up in every match you play. This is a great option if you care about showing off your progress to other players, as these borders are very rare and immediately signal that you’ve put in the work to earn rare event rewards.
Second, you can exchange it for limited-edition skin fragments that can’t be earned any other way. These fragments include pieces for collector skins, M-series pro team exclusive skins, and collaboration skins that never come back to the in-game shop. If you're a casual player, I recommend exchanging your sacred statue for skin fragments first, because profile borders are just cosmetic, while skin fragments let you unlock permanent skins you can use in every match you play. I’ve exchanged 2 of my 3 sacred statues for collector skin fragments, and I’ve gotten 2 full limited-edition skins that I use every week.
Third, you can donate the sacred statue to your guild if your guild is working toward a level-up reward. Donating a sacred statue gives you a huge amount of guild coins and guild points, which you can exchange for other rare items in the guild shop, including skin fragments, battle points, and emote chests. This is a great option if you already have all the limited skins you want, and want to contribute to your guild’s progress to unlock guild-exclusive rewards for everyone.
At the end of the day, the only reliable way to get a sacred statue in Mobile Legends is to stick to official Moonton events and avoid any shortcuts that seem too good to be true. You don’t have to spend a single cent to earn this rare item, you just have to keep an eye on event announcements, follow the eligibility rules, and stay away from scammers trying to take advantage of players who want the item quickly. If you stay patient and consistent, you’ll be able to add a sacred statue to your account during the next big MLBB event, no hacks or paid tricks required.
