Honor of Kings Season 12: Battle Pass Rewards & Gems

Season 12 Battle Pass Structure & Rewards

The Season 12 Battle Pass runs from April 13 at 3:00 a.m. to May 11 at 2:59 a.m. server time. With a condensed 40-rank timeline, efficient gameplay is essential to maximize value.

Key Rewards:

• Rank 20: Fervent Fang Two-Star Legendary Gem (Major power spike).
• Ranks 5 & 35: 3 Normal Gems each.
• Collector’s Track: 100 Battle Archive Coins at Ranks 1, 10, 20, 30, and 40 (Total: 500 coins).

These coins access the Battle Archive Shop for previous season cosmetics and gems. Tokens don't expire, allowing you to save for high-value items. To manage resources or get missing inventory, use the Honor of Kings token shop on buffget.

Battle Archive System & Collector’s Track

The Battle Archive System changes how you earn cosmetics. Coins act as persistent currency. Once you hit Rank 40, you can purchase the Season Cosmetic for other classes, completing sets across characters.

Shop Features:

• Exchange for exclusive Armor and Portal Cosmet

ics.

• Purchase Legendary Gems (competitive value for F2P/budget players).
• Tokens never expire.

This system decouples cosmetic acquisition from the seasonal timer. For fast delivery or buying the premium pass, Honor of Kings recharge via buffget offers competitive pricing.
