PUBG Mobile is an action game where you drop into real-time matches, loot weapons and gear, and try to outlast other players. You can play solo or team up with friends and use voice chat to plan fights together. The game also lets you adjust the controls, which helps aiming and movement feel more comfortable as you play.

On top of that, PUBG Mobile now has a special crossover with The King of Fighters. Fighters like Mai Shiranui, Nakoruru, and Iori Yagami are part of the event, and you can earn themed items just by taking part in matches and event tasks.

Fastest Way to Unlock Iori/Mai/Nakoruru Items

If you want Iori, Mai, and Nakoruru items as fast as possible, focus on the event systems that give steady progress:

1) Use The Prize Path As The Main Track

The primary progression system is the Premium Prize Path, which unlocks for 600 UC. Once activated, Path Points are earned through:

  • Playing Classic or Ranked matches
  • Completing daily and weekly missions
  • Playing the KOF ’98 mini-game
  • Spending UC if you want to speed up tiers

This matters because the mythic outfits are tied to Prize Path progress, so steady Path Points are the fastest way to reach the big rewards.

2) Stack Daily Missions With Regular Matches

Daily missions include playing Classic matches and dealing damage for rewards. That means you can finish more than one task while doing the same few matches. So, even if you only have a short session, you still move forward.

3) Don’t Skip Weekly Missions

Weekly missions include goals like winning Ranked games or playing Duos or Squads, with rewards such as weapon skins or voice packs. These missions contribute a large portion of overall progress, and missing them can significantly slow advancement.

4) Play The Legendary Brawl Mini-Game

The event has an arcade-style mini-game called Legendary Brawl, and is available through the Event tab. It provides instant tokens, event crates, and additional progress toward mission objectives, which makes it one of the fastest progression options.

5) Squad Up When Possible

Team play is rewarded, and squad missions can give extra tokens. Playing with friends can help you finish tasks faster, and it also makes the grind feel less boring.

Conclusion

The PUBG Mobile x King of Fighters event is all about collecting themed cosmetics, with the biggest prizes being the mythic outfits tied to Iori Yagami, Mai Shiranui, and Nakoruru. Start with the Events Center, then focus on Prize Path progress, daily and weekly missions, and the mini-game so you can grab rewards before March 10, 2026.

If you want a bigger screen and smoother controls, try PUBG Mobile on PC or Mac with BlueStacks. It can feel easier to aim, move, and react fast, especially if your phone struggles during long matches.
