Following the 2026 Version 4.3 update, the PUBG Mobile player community has been abuzz – all because two top-tier X-Suits have launched simultaneously: the brand-new Phoenixtra X-Suit and the classic returning Blood Raven X-Suit, upgraded to 7 stars. One blazes across the sky with raging fire, the other blocks out the sun with dark ravens. Which will you pick? Let’s break them down one by one first.

The biggest highlight of the Phoenixtra X-Suit is its transformable mount glider. You can ride the phoenix-shaped mount directly while parachuting; it transforms mid-air to spread huge flaming wings, paired with dynamic trails and burning effects – quite literally, landing with this suit makes you the director of the opening ceremony for the entire match. Additionally, it features a reactive armor system (appearance changes with combat status), an upgradable SCAR-L weapon skin, an exclusive phoenix companion, and two sets of emotes. In its max 7-star "Seraphic" form, the character is shrouded in blazing flames for an overwhelming presence. Personal recommendation: If you love going all out on style and want every match to be your personal showcase, Phoenixtra is made for you.

The Blood Raven X-Suit takes a completely different path. As the second X-Suit in the game’s history, it has long been a status symbol for veteran players with its gothic dark aesthetics and iconic raven blood-red effects. This return is not a simple re-release: it has been upgraded from 6 stars to 7 stars, with the new "Crimson Night" style (dark purple + neon red) added, and an upgradable ASM Abakan weapon skin included for the first time. When the team wins, the character summons a flock of ravens to cover the entire victorious squad – imposing yet not over-the-top. If you prefer a low-key but sophisticated vibe, Blood Raven is absolutely worth getting.

By now, you probably have a preference in mind. But the practical question remains: How much UC does it take to max out an X-Suit? According to player tests, upgrading Phoenixtra from base to 7 stars costs roughly 80,000–110,000 UC, and maxing Blood Raven also requires 50,000–100,000 UC. For most players, this is no small expense. The smart choice is to plan your UC reserves in advance, instead of scrambling to recharge once the gacha wheel goes live. Many veteran overseas players top up UC in advance via third-party platforms like COCODP, which users widely praise for fast, secure service and better discounts than the official store in some regions. Stock up ahead of time to take on the dual allure of the Phoenix and the Blood Raven with ease.

Finally, back to the original question: Phoenixtra or Blood Raven? My advice:

Choose the Phoenix if you crave extreme visual flair and love the impact of flames and transformation.

Choose the Blood Raven if you prefer dark gothic style, understated prestige, and veteran appeal.

Of course, players with sufficient budget can get both. Whichever you pick, remember to check COCODP for the latest recharge deals before you start rolling. The 8th anniversary dual X-Suit launch is a once-in-a-lifetime chance – don’t miss out on your own blaze or shadow for lack of UC.
