Overview
Borrow the East Wind (借东风, Jiè Dōngfēng) is a daily login milestone reward vehicle in Honor of Kings: World. The name is a reference to the Three Kingdoms era 'borrowing the east wind' military deception trope, evoking the idea of a vehicle that turns the tides by direction change.

Sign-In Book Context
The Honor of Kings: World sign-in book (签到本) provides cumulative login rewards at 7, 15, and 30-day marks. Borrow the East Wind is one of the mid-tier rewards in this track. Other rewards confirmed in the sign-in book include the rare pet Mengqithe legendary-tier vehicle skin 极光 (Aurora), and various currency / material bundles.
Thursday Double-Reward Mechanic
All daily sign-in rewards are doubled on Thursdays in the S0 Season. Players who log in on Thursdays receive 2x the day's milestone contribution, which can accelerate the path to Borrow the East Wind if it is gated behind a cumulative day count that benefits from the doubling.
Visual Design
The vehicle's visual style evokes wind-borne propulsion motifs, with east-wind-themed banners or streamers on a base skateboard or standard mount platform. Precise visual details should be verified against in-game capture before being cited in other articles.
How to Claim It
Borrow the East Wind unlocks from the sign-in book once the player's cumulative login count reaches the milestone day. The exact day count is shown in the sign-in book reward list; opening the menu daily lets the player watch the milestone approach without missing the claim window when it arrives. Thursdays double the day's reward toward the cumulative total, which can shave days off the path for players who log in every Thursday.
Visual Style
The vehicle reads as a wind-borne skateboard with banner streamers trailing behind. The east-wind motif ties it to the Three Kingdoms-era trope of using weather changes as a strategic advantage, fitting the mount into the broader Three Kingdoms strand of Honor of Kings: World's lore.
Account Permanence
Once unlocked, Borrow the East Wind stays on the account permanently and works across all clients. There is no time-limited expiration; the mount is a free progression reward rather than an event cosmetic.

Acquisition Window
Borrow-East-Wind Mount is a limited-window login-milestone reward, granted at a fixed login day during its active event. Players who hit the milestone day during the window automatically claim the mount; the milestone day is the seventh consecutive login day under the standard login-reward structure.
Design Notes
The mount references the classical 借东风 (Borrow the East Wind) idiom, framed as a wind-channeling traversal companion. Its mount-skin treatment follows the visual language of the other login-reward mounts: a single base skin with a particle-effect motif rather than an alternate-color set. The mount does not affect base traversal speed; like all mount cosmetics it is purely visual.
