Honor of Kings: Major benefits in the Chinese server are being made more widespread; can be unlocked by cumulative recharges during the Year of the Tiger?

It's no wonder that many players are starting to lose heart with the Chinese server. First, let's talk about the game environment. There have been multiple reforms and optimizations, including the introduction of gold medals with double stars and top-tier lanes with three stars. However, the skin marketing has caused a lot of problems. The "skin rain" feature was discontinued, and collaborations became the main focus. Every time a new skin is released, it almost always requires a lottery to purchase, with very few skins available for direct sale in the store. As a result, the best-selling skin charts are dominated by the Glory Collection skins, showing how much players value those supposedly exorbitantly priced styles. However, their status has been degraded and they're being sold cheaply. Players are too lazy to add members, and they're simply given away during anniversary celebrations, drastically reducing their perceived value.

Most items are limited-time offers, otherwise they're included in the monthly gift pack, and the entire system relies on gacha pulls, with benefits being as incremental as toothpaste. In contrast, the international version is never stingy. All items considered extremely rare, such as the Year of the Tiger limited edition, the Dream series, and older items that everyone is scrambling for, are available in Honor of Kings, but the unlocking conditions are quite simple. Take Huang Zhong's Fierce Soul as an example: in 2023, an announcement was made that it would be the last time it was sold directly. However, in the other region, it became a limited-time reward for recharging, costing 12,000 points. It sounds a bit expensive, but it's still better than putting it in a rare legendary item gacha event for a comeback.

For certain cumulative recharges of 60, 200, 300, 800, 2400, and 4000 points, you can receive related rewards, such as Glory Points, Battle Pass Experience Chests, and most importantly, Star Wish Tickets. If you're lucky enough, you can easily get a Star Legendary or Epic skin, which is essentially a free gift of two skins, making it a great deal.
