Honor of Kings Anniversary Celebration Adds Dunshan and a Tower-Inspired Skin

Honor of Kings has launched its Anniversary Celebration, beginning a sequence of October events built around a new hero, free login items, collectible-based skin rewards, and two additional activities scheduled for later in the month. The celebration began with the October 21 update, which introduces Dunshan to the roster and opens an anniversary creator voice pack login campaign.

The broader calendar extends into early November. Players will be able to pursue the Millennium Tower Dunshan collaboration skin through an event shop, open or share the returning Decade of Promise pack for Honor Points and skin rewards, and take part in the return of LIMBO Wish. A separate farming event will also arrive on October 30, giving players a different progression loop involving crops, farm upgrades, collection rewards, and a seasonal Flowborn outfit.

For a live-service MOBA, anniversary celebrations often combine immediate giveaways with tasks that reward repeat play across several days. This one follows that model closely: logging in can deliver important items, but matches, daily collection limits, activity missions, and event-specific currencies will determine how far players can progress through the available reward tracks.

Dunshan joins as a Tank/Support hero

The main gameplay addition in the October 21 update is Dunshan, a Tank/Support hero designed around protecting allies and mitigating pressure from the opposing team. His defining feature is the ability to transform into a shield, allowing him to cover teammates and reduce damage coming into the group.

That role places Dunshan squarely in the kind of frontline position that can shape teamfights without necessarily being defined by direct damage output. A hero who can physically and defensively support teammates can be especially valuable around objectives, narrow routes, and situations where a vulnerable ally needs space to reposition. Players interested in support-focused play may want to spend time learning when to use his shield form aggressively to push forward and when to hold it for disengagement or protection.

Players who participated in the October 15 pre-launch event can claim Dunshan for free starting with the new update. Everyone else can obtain him for 13,888 Starstones or 588 Tokens. There is also a first-week discount on the Token option, lowering that cost to 294 Tokens. The free path for eligible pre-launch participants and the temporary Token reduction give players two separate ways to add the new hero without paying the standard Token price.

Creator voice pack is tied to cumulative logins

The Anniversary Celebration also includes a free anniversary creator voice pack. It is available through cumulative logins from October 21 through November 5. Cumulative login events are useful for players who cannot play every day, since progress is based on the number of qualifying logins during the event window rather than demanding an uninterrupted daily streak.

Voice packs are a smaller reward than a hero or premium-looking skin, but they can be a meaningful personalization option for players who want their matches to feel distinct. With the campaign running more than two weeks, anyone planning to collect it should still make sure to check the event page and track login progress before November 5.

Millennium Tower Dunshan celebrates a historic pagoda

Dunshan is also receiving the event's major collaboration skin. Millennium Tower Dunshan takes inspiration from the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian County, bringing the landmark into the game through the hero's anniversary cosmetic design. The skin will be redeemable beginning October 29, rather than being available on the first day of the celebration.

Obtaining it is linked to the anniversary skin event and its collectible standee system. Players can earn standees each day by logging in, playing matches, and sharing with friends. The event then asks players to merge their two highest-scoring standees in exchange for points. Those points can be spent in the event shop on rewards, including Millennium Tower Dunshan once the October 29 redemption date arrives.

There are two important limitations to keep in mind. First, only one merge is permitted per day. Second, standees are cleared at the daily reset. In practical terms, this means players should not treat the standees as a resource to stockpile indefinitely. Since only the two highest-scoring standees matter for the day's merge, it makes sense to look at the available collection actions, identify the best pair, and complete the merge before reset. Missing a day may mean missing that day's opportunity to generate points.

The event encourages a mix of solo participation and social interaction. Logging in and playing matches are familiar daily goals, while the sharing requirement adds another way to gather standees. Players focused on the skin should pay close attention to the daily routine, particularly once October 29 arrives and the event shop can be used for the Millennium Tower reward.

October 24 brings Decade of Promise rewards and Flowborn items

A second anniversary reward wave begins on October 24. From October 24 through November 4, players who received last year's Decade of Promise pack can open it to receive between 400 and 2,000 Honor Points, along with a random Epic or Legend skin. Players who already own every skin in that reward pool will receive 2,000 Honor Points instead.

The random skin element makes this a particularly notable reward for accounts still missing cosmetics from the eligible selection. The alternative Honor Point outcome for players who have completed the pool is also significant, ensuring that established collectors are not simply left with a duplicate item that has no stated value.

Players who did not receive the previous pack are not entirely excluded. The Pack Transfer event allows them to obtain a share code from a player who owns a Decade of Promise pack. Redeeming that code grants a Decade of Promise Sharing Pack, which guarantees 400 Honor Points. While this version does not offer the stated random Epic or Legend skin reward, it provides a clear participation route for players who missed the earlier distribution.

There is another short login reward period on October 24 and 25. Logging in on either of those days grants 400 Honor Points, an Anniversary Flowborn outfit, an Anniversary Flowborn outfit item, and an anniversary avatar frame pack. Because this reward is tied to just two calendar dates, it is one of the easiest anniversary bonuses to overlook. Players who want the Flowborn cosmetics or Honor Points should make a point of entering the game during that window.

LIMBO Wish returns on October 30

LIMBO Wish returns on October 30 with new items, including a Gao Changgong skin. The activity uses Lucky Draw Vouchers, which can be earned through activity missions or purchased. Vouchers are spent on a draw board that lets players flip a single tile at a time or make up to five flips at once.

The event includes defined milestone rewards, giving the system a degree of certainty even though the board itself is based on tile flips. Players are guaranteed a Rare skin within 10 flips, a new Epic skin within 20 flips, and two new Legend skins at the 30th and 36th flips. Activity missions can supply enough free Lucky Draw Vouchers to obtain the Rare skin.

That final detail is important for players deciding how to approach the event. Completing missions can secure progress through the first guaranteed reward tier without requiring purchased vouchers. Anyone aiming beyond the Rare skin should keep the later milestones in mind and manage vouchers around the 20-, 30-, and 36-flip thresholds rather than judging the event only by individual board reveals.

A new farming event adds crops, upgrades, and friend visits

Also launching October 30 is a farming event that shifts away from match-centric tasks. Players will build and improve a farm by clearing plots, buying seed packs, planting crops, watering them, harvesting the results, and selling them. Harvested goods generate farming coins and EXP, tying the basic planting cycle to both spending power and farm progression.

Leveling up the farm unlocks additional features, including hero-themed crops and friend visits. Farming coins can be spent in the Shop, while completing the crop collection unlocks further rewards. Among those rewards is a LIMBO/Halloween-themed Flowborn outfit, offering another cosmetic goal for players who engage with the event's collection loop.

The farm's structure suggests that consistent participation will matter. Clearing land, planting, watering, harvesting, earning EXP, and expanding access to new features are all parts of a progression chain. Players who want the collection rewards will likely benefit from starting early, maintaining their crops, and checking which seeds or harvests are needed to fill out the collection.

A packed anniversary schedule

Honor of Kings' Anniversary Celebration begins with Dunshan's arrival but expands well beyond a single hero release. The October 21 to November 5 voice pack campaign, the daily standee merges for Millennium Tower Dunshan, the tightly timed October 24 login rewards, and the October 30 launches of LIMBO Wish and the farming activity give the event a layered schedule.

For players with limited time, the most useful approach is to prioritize date-sensitive rewards first: log in on October 24 or 25, check daily standee collection and merging before reset, and complete LIMBO Wish activity missions after October 30 if the free Rare skin is a goal. Dunshan, the tower-inspired collaboration skin, Honor Points, Flowborn cosmetics, and farming rewards all make the anniversary period a substantial reason to return over the coming weeks.
