11 Overview

33 Wild-region elites (野外强敌, yěwài qiángdí) are named open-world mini-boss encounters scattered across the playable regions of Honor of Kings: World. The launch beginner guide confirms them as one of the recommended leveling activities for early- and mid-game play, alongside main story quests and Kun-Tour exploration tasks. Their primary reward is large amounts of Yuan Liu XP, and they are a supplementary source of transition-tier gear drops before players hit Dream Realm dungeon farming at max level.

This is assumed to map to the same category as 野外强敌 but uses the terms slightly differently so the mapping is inferred

1717 Elite Encounter Progression Tiers
1818  
1919 Wild-region elite encounters feed into two separate progression tracks once a player crosses the early-game thresholds. The thresholds below are from the launch-day speed-levelling guides published in Chinese gaming coverage on April 10-12, 2026, verified against the beginner-guide module on the Tencent portal.
2020  
2121 Level 10 - Daily Wisdom (朝闻道): the first system that pulls the player back to field elites. Daily Wisdom tasks award 2,600 experience each on completion and commonly route the player through an elite or a Kun-Tour (鲲游) map segment. Kun-Tour segments themselves grant 300 experience per segment cleared.Level 20 - Calamity Beast Dungeons (灾厄): unlocks a dedicated instance where field elites feed into the talent-material loot pool. This is the primary source of talent-upgrade materials for launch-roster Resonances in the early to mid-game.Level 30 - Qijing Dimensional Dungeon (奇境): opens the weapon-material track. Field elites at this point are routed through the weapon-progression loop rather than the talent loop.

2323 Elite-Specific Drops
2424  
2525 Named field elites, in addition to their level-bracketed loot tables, drop region-specific cosmetic and lore items. These are tracked at the Wild-Region Elite index article and include dye materials, housing-decoration blueprints, and early-game consumable stacks. The specific drop manifests are not fully documented in the launch build and vary by patch; the entries will be filled in as players verify them on live servers.
