Redemption Requirements
- Account level: 10-15 minimum
- UID: 10-12 digit numerical string (found in profile settings)
7-Step Redemption Process:
- Launch Honor of Kings, wait for lobby to load
- Tap diamond icon (bottom-left corner)
- Select Community tab
- Tap Gift Code button
- Enter your 10-12 digit UID
- Type FLOWBORN (all capitals—case-sensitive)

Rewards appear in mailbox (envelope icon, top-right). Mailbox holds max 99 items; unclaimed rewards expire after 7 days.
Server Maintenance: 2:00-6:00 AM UTC on January 22, 2026. Don't attempt redemption during this window.
The 100K Global Cap Mechanism
The 100,000 redemption cap operates globally—all players worldwide share one pool. Once it hits 100K total redemptions, the code dies permanently for everyone.
Depletion Timeline:
- First 24 hours: 60-70% depleted
- 48-72 hours: Complete exhaustion
- Typical expiration: January 24-25, 2026
Why It Depletes Fast
January 22, 2026 5:00 AM launch coincides with peak Asian market activity. First six hours consume 65,000-70,000 slots before European/American players wake up.
One redemption per account doesn't slow depletion when millions attempt simultaneous redemptions. Server processes requests chronologically—first-come-first-served.
Waiting until February 2-4? Near-certain expiration. Cap typically fills by January 24-25, leaving 9-10 days where FLOWBORN shows invalid or limit reached.
Guaranteed Sign-In Alternative Path
Seven-spotted Ladybug Token system runs parallel to FLOWBORN, rewarding daily engagement with no cap.
Daily Earnings:
- Login: 20 tokens (automatic)
- Four 5v5 matches: 30 tokens
- Daily max: 50 tokens (60-90 minutes playtime)
Milestone Bonuses:
- 15 total matches: +100 tokens
- 30 total matches: +100 tokens
- Total milestone bonus: 200 tokens
Primary Target: Liang Highland Fieldlog Rare skin (500 tokens)
- 10 days at max daily earnings (500 ÷ 50 = 10 days)
- 7-8 days with milestone bonuses
- Start January 22 → reach 500 tokens by January 31-February 1
CRITICAL: Seven-spotted Ladybug Tokens expire January 28, 2026—earlier than the February 4 event end. Redeem before this cutoff or lose everything.
For immediate resource boosts, Honor of Kings global tokens instant recharge through BitTopup delivers premium currency within minutes.
Flow Points: Extended Progression System
Flow Points extend beyond February 4, 2026, offering long-term progression.
Daily Earnings:
- Login: 20 Flow Points
- Solo matches: 20 Flow Points/game
- Team matches: 25 Flow Points/game
- Daily cap: 65 Flow Points
Saturday Multiplier: 2× earnings on Saturdays (January 25 and February 1, 2026). Max 130 Flow Points instead of 65.
Premium Rewards:
- Martial Arts Outfit: 600 Flow Points
- Sorcery Outfit: 600 Flow Points
- Time to one outfit: 9-10 days max daily earnings
- Time to both outfits: 18-20 days
Spriteling Costumes (Login Streaks)
- Day 7: First Spriteling Costume
- Day 14: Second Spriteling Costume
- Day 21: Third Spriteling Costume
Zero match participation required—login only. Missing one day resets counter to zero.
Strategic Timing & Priority Management
Immediate Priority (January 22-24): Redeem FLOWBORN code within 48 hours. Zero-effort rewards in 2-5 minutes.
Secondary Priority (January 22-28): Focus Seven-spotted Ladybug Tokens for Liang Highland Fieldlog skin before January 28 expiration. Requires four 5v5 matches daily + login (60-90 minutes).
Tertiary Priority (January 22-February 4+): Maintain Flow Points daily max for outfits. Lower urgency since system continues indefinitely.
Match Efficiency
Four daily 5v5 matches earn both Seven-spotted Ladybug Tokens AND Flow Points simultaneously.
Optimal Daily Routine:
- Login (1 min): +20 Ladybug Tokens, +20 Flow Points
- Four team 5v5 matches (60-80 min): +30 Ladybug Tokens, +100 Flow Points
- Total: 50 Ladybug Tokens + 120 Flow Points (capped at 65, so 55 overflow)
Flow Points cap creates waste, but prioritize Ladybug Tokens before January 28 expiration since Flow Points persist indefinitely.
Common Redemption Errors & Solutions
Invalid code format: You entered lowercase/mixed-case. Must be FLOWBORN in all capitals.
Invalid UID: You entered username/display name instead of 10-12 digit numerical UID. Find it in Settings > Account > Basic Information.
Redemption limit reached: Global 100K cap depleted. Code permanently invalid. Pivot to Seven-spotted Ladybug Token path immediately.
Server processing delays: First 6-12 hours create 10-30 second delays instead of 2-5 seconds. Wait 60 seconds before retry to avoid duplicate request errors.
Mailbox full: You have 99 items. Claim/delete 3 items to make space for FLOWBORN's 3-item reward package.
Maximizing Value Through Strategic Spending
Dragon Crystals (500 from FLOWBORN):
- Hero unlocks: 3,000-5,000 per hero (FLOWBORN covers 10-17%)
- Skin discounts: 20-30% reductions during limited sales
- Battle Pass skips: 150 per tier (FLOWBORN enables 3 skips)
New players (level 10-20): Spend on hero unlocks to expand ranked champion pool.
Established players (level 50+): Use for skin discounts or battle pass acceleration.
Liang Highland Fieldlog Rare Skin: Limited-availability cosmetic unlikely to return. Rare tier = custom visual effects but not full animation overhauls. Secure before January 28, 2026 token expiration or lose permanently.
Flow Points Outfit Priority
Martial Arts Outfit vs Sorcery Outfit = pure aesthetic preference. Neither provides gameplay bonuses.
- Martial Arts: Traditional Eastern design, red/gold colors
- Sorcery: Mystical theme, purple/blue tones, arcane motifs
Flow Points don't expire, so adopt long-term accumulation vs rushed daily maximums.
