Diff - gacha and pity system - Honor of Kings: World Wiki

11 Overview

44 Honor of Kings: World does not have a character gacha system. This was confirmed by current community data.. All Resonances, Talents, summoned spirits, and equipment are earned through gameplay. Characters can also be purchased directly at roughly 398 CNY each. The only pity-style mechanic in the game is the Heavenly Reward (天赏) cosmetic banner, which applies exclusively to Mythic-tier outfit skins and does not affect combat balance.

66 No Character Gacha

88 primary text states: "所有影响战斗平衡的核心资源均可免费获取, 无角色抽卡机制" ("All core resources affecting combat balance can be obtained for free; there is no character gacha mechanic"). This language is final and definitive. There is no 4-star banner, no 5-star banner, no weapon banner, no soft pity, and no hard pity for combat characters or gear. Heroes are unlocked through story, exploration, event content, or one-off direct purchase at ~398 CNY each. See Monetization for the full priced-items list.

1010 Character Acquisition Methods

1111

1212 Characters (Resonances) in Honor of Kings: World are obtained through several non-gacha methods. Approximately 6 to 8 characters are available for free from the start of the game. Additional characters can be unlocked through story progression, in-game events, and the Battle Pass paid tier. Characters can also be purchased directly from the in-game store using premium currency.

1313

1414 The Battle Pass includes a hero character in its paid tier each season. After the season ends, that hero becomes available as a free-to-play unlock, confirmed by Chinese players who participated in the S0 season. This means that Battle Pass heroes are time-exclusive rather than permanently paywalled; patient players can obtain every character without spending money.

2222 Heavenly Reward exists strictly to sell signature Mythic outfits such as the Dongfang Yao Heavenly Reward skin confirmed by current community data. It does not grant characters, weapons, gear, Talents, Huanling spirits, or any combat resource. Skipping the Heavenly Reward banner entirely has zero gameplay consequence.

2424 Cosmetic Gacha Contents

2525

2626 The Heavenly Reward banner and related cosmetic pulls contain a variety of cosmetic items beyond just outfits. The full pool of items available from cosmetic pulls includes:

2727

2828 Outfits - Character costumes for the Flowborn and hero Metamorph skinsBorder icons - Decorative frames for the player's profileUnique emotes - Solo animation emotes exclusive to the bannerGroup emotes - Social and romance emotes that can be performed with other players

2929

3030 Some items are available from the standard Heavenly Reward pull pool, while others are exclusive to higher-tier banners. The variety of cosmetic items in the pull pool means that even pulls that do not yield the featured outfit still reward players with usable cosmetic content.

3232 Super Premium Gacha Tier

3333

3434 In addition to the standard Heavenly Reward banner, there is a higher-tier "super premium" gacha option. The super premium tier features exclusive outfits that come bundled with additional cosmetic items: a matching border icon, exclusive emotes, and unique visual effects that the standard banner outfits do not include. For example, the Novar hero outfit was featured in the super premium gacha with its full set of accompanying cosmetics.

3535

3636 The super premium tier is priced higher than the standard Heavenly Reward pulls. Like all cosmetic pulls in the game, the super premium tier has no effect on combat performance or progression. It is purely a premium cosmetic option for players who want the most elaborate outfit sets.

3838 Pity Shop

3939

4040 When a player fills the pity gauge through repeated pulls on the Heavenly Reward banner, they receive currency or items that can be spent in a dedicated pity shop. The pity shop contains a curated selection of cosmetic items, including emotes, group emotes, and other accessories. This provides a safety net for players who pull many times without receiving the featured outfit: even if luck is poor, the accumulated pity rewards can be exchanged for desirable cosmetics.

4141

4242 Group and romance emotes are among the most sought-after pity shop items, as they allow cooperative animations with friends. These emotes are also available as drops from the banner itself, but the pity shop guarantees access for players who prefer to work toward a specific item rather than relying on random drops.

4343

4444 Store Currencies

4545

4646 The in-game store uses Jing Po (晶珀) as the primary premium currency. Jing Po can be purchased with real money, but it can also be earned for free through story quests, in-game events, and exploration rewards. Free-to-play players who accumulate enough Jing Po through gameplay can use it to buy skins directly from the store without entering the gacha system at all.

4747

4848 This dual-source approach to Jing Po means that the store and the gacha banner are not the only ways to obtain cosmetics. Dedicated free-to-play players who complete story content and participate in events will naturally accumulate Jing Po over time, giving them access to direct-purchase skins. The gacha banner is an optional spending path, not a required one.

5050 Unverified Claims That Are Incorrect

5151

5252 Several third-party outlets and community sites have published gacha pull rates, pity thresholds, and currency names attributed to Honor of Kings: World. The most common figures repeat Genshin Impact's numbers exactly, which strongly suggests these values were borrowed from Genshin coverage rather than extracted from Honor of Kings: World material. As of the April 10, 2026 launch, none of the following are in the game:

5353

5454 A 0.6 percent base 5-star character drop rateA 90-pull character pity thresholdAn 80-pull weapon pity thresholdA 5.1 percent 4-star drop rate with soft pity around 10 pullsSpecific "Wonder Stones" or similar premium currency names (the actual premium currency is 晶珀 / Jing Po)A weapon-banner rotation scheduleA character-rarity tier system for pulls

5656 Overseas Alpha Note

5757

5858 The overseas PC Closed Alpha ran with monetization disabled, so no banner or pity mechanic was active during the test; cosmetics and currency were instead distributed through the in-game mailbox and events. The test therefore confirmed the no-character-gacha design without exposing the live pity numbers, which remain as documented above from the launch build. See Monetization for the disabled-store detail and Overseas Closed Alpha Test for the full test scope.

6060 What This Means for Players

6161

6262 If you see a site claiming that Honor of Kings: World has Genshin-style 90-pull pity for its characters, that site is wrong. The game that shipped on April 10, 2026 is a direct-purchase and earn-through-gameplay ARPG with a cosmetic-only pity banner, not a gacha RPG. Players who want to unlock every character can either grind them free through story and events or buy them directly at ~398 CNY per character. Spending any money on Heavenly Reward is a pure cosmetic decision and has no effect on combat or progression. See Battle Pass for the main recurring-spend item in the game, and Closed Beta Tests for context on why several pre-launch "datamine" numbers that circulated online were unreliable.
