Overview
Tianshang (天赏, Tiānshǎng, 'Heavenly Reward') is Honor of Kings: World's cosmetic-only skin banner, the game's closest equivalent to a traditional gacha. Critically, Tianshang is skin-only. There is no character gacha or weapon gacha at S0 launch. All 11 launch Resonances are obtainable through free gameplay progression.

Design Positioning
Tencent explicitly positioned Tianshang's cosmetic-only scope as a differentiator against Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, and other character-gacha competitors. The 2,400 CNY full-guarantee cost is high relative to individual pulls, but the hard 15-pull pity ensures a player who commits to a banner always completes the set within a known budget. This predictability was a common piece of praise in Chinese launch reviews.
