Ningwu (Signature Weapon System)

Initial article based on verified Chinese launch sources
Ningwu (凝武, Níngwǔ, literally 'Condensed Martial') is the hero-bound signature weapon progression system in Honor of Kings: World. Each Resonance hero has a unique Ningwu weapon that is permanently tied to that character and cannot be equipped across heroes. Ningwu is one of the four pillars of Resonance power, alongside Flow Veins (流脉), Inscriptions (铭文), and equipment.
Ningwu provides two primary attributes:
Base attack power: A direct multiplier on both basic-attack and skill damage. This is the dominant scaling source for most Resonances.
HP ceiling: Raises the hero's maximum HP pool for survivability.
Ningwu levels from 1 to 50 at S0 launch. Each milestone grants stat bumps and unlocks new effects:
Level | Unlock |
|---|---|
Lv 1 | Initial state (base stats only) |
Lv 10 | First entry unlocks (e.g., ATK +10%, HP +500). Wave Flow breakthrough unlock point. |
Lv 20 | Quality Shift (质变点): second entry + first special effect (core passive defining combat style) |
Lv 30 | First special effect strengthens (higher trigger chance or effect values); second entry grows |
Lv 40 | Further strengthening of entries and effects |
Lv 50 | Ultimate Form: second special effect unlocks, creating dual-effect synergistic configuration |
Ningwu upgrade materials drop from daily-reset open-world bosses (with daily attempt caps) and weekly dungeon content. Community guides published at launch recommend committing to two main Resonances before account Lv 30, because upgrade materials are rate-limited and conflicts between heroes create progression walls.
Per the GamerSky stamina planning guide, Ningwu upgrades alongside Flow Veins talents are the highest-priority spend for early-game stamina. Inscriptions and equipment come later, typically after account Lv 41.
Weapon skins are separate from Ningwu stats. Jialuo's Ningwu bow has a cosmetic skin 琉璃挽月 (Glazed Moonveil) unlocked at Battle Pass level 50. Other Resonances have their own Ningwu skins available through events and the Tianshang banner.
