Honor Shop Guide — Legendary Blueprints and Honor Points Strategy

Economy · 2026-04-26

What Is the Honor Shop?

The Honor Shop is a rotating store accessed through the Wall of Honor / Honor menu. It sells gear blueprints, hero shards, gems, and other progression items in exchange for Honor Points — a currency you cannot buy with real money. The Honor Shop refreshes weekly, and almost every guide on this site recommends prioritising it because of one item: Legendary Gear Blueprints.

The Honor Shop Rule

Buy Legendary Gear Blueprints every single weekly refresh. Skip everything else unless you have leftover Honor Points. Legendary Blueprints are gated almost exclusively by the Honor Shop — there is no efficient alternative source. Players who skip a refresh permanently fall behind on gear progression.

Where Honor Points Come From

Honor Points accumulate from a small number of consistent activities. Knowing your sources helps you predict your weekly budget.

SourceYield
Wall of Honor rally rankingsTop-25 ranks earn Honor Points proportional to placement. Top alliances earn the most
Daily zombie killsKilling zombies on the world map awards small amounts of Honor
Marshal's Guard rally damageRally contribution earns Honor Points alongside event currency
Sky Predator participationCoordinated rallies during Sky Battlefront yield Honor
Zombie Siege defenceDefending alliance territory during Zombie Siege awards Honor
Alliance Boss ralliesJoint boss rally damage produces Honor for all participants
Specific eventsSome seasonal events grant Honor Points as milestone rewards

Most players accumulate 5,000-15,000 Honor Points per week through normal play. Top-tier alliances on the Wall of Honor earn substantially more.

The Item Priority Order

The Honor Shop sells more than just blueprints, but the priority order is unambiguous. Buy in this order until your Honor Points run out.

1. Legendary Gear Blueprints — Always First

The single best item in the Honor Shop and one of the highest-value items in the game.

  • Available for limited weekly purchases — usually 5-10 per refresh
  • Buy every available copy every refresh — non-negotiable for any active account
  • Blueprints are the gating material for Legendary gear crafting, then for star promotion to Mythic
  • No efficient alternative source exists — events occasionally drop them but at fractions of Honor Shop quantities
Why Legendary Blueprints Are Special

You need ~50+ Legendary Blueprints to fully equip and star-promote a single hero's gear. Across a squad of 5 heroes, that is 250+ blueprints. At 5-10 per weekly refresh, you are looking at 25-50 weeks of disciplined Honor Shop purchases just to gear one squad. Players who miss refreshes never make this gap up. There is no spending shortcut.

2. Mythic Gear Blueprints (when stocked)

Available later in the shop's rotation cycle, typically once your account is mature.

  • Mythic Blueprints replace Legendary Blueprints for 5-Star gear promotion (Mythic tier)
  • Buy when stocked, but only after exhausting your Legendary Blueprint allocation
  • Mythic gear matters less in early-mid game — focus Legendary first

3. UR Hero Shards (Specific Heroes)

The Honor Shop occasionally rotates UR hero shards for specific heroes.

  • Buy if it's a hero you actively use in your squad
  • Skip for heroes you do not invest in — Honor Points are too valuable to waste
  • Compare per-shard cost against Alliance Shop and Battle Pass — the cheapest source wins

4. Skill Medals

Standard skill medal stacks at a reasonable Honor Point cost.

  • Lower priority than blueprints and active-hero shards
  • Buy with leftover Honor Points after blueprints are claimed
  • Skill Medals are abundant from many sources (Alliance Shop, daily rewards, events) so they rarely become a bottleneck

5. Gems

The Honor Shop sometimes offers gem packs.

  • Lowest priority — gems come from many sources
  • Honor Points → Gems conversion is rarely the best path
  • Skip unless you are sitting on excess Honor Points with nothing else to buy

What to Skip

  • Resource bundles (Food, Iron, Coins) — abundant from gathering and events
  • Speedup packs — accumulate from VS Day 5 banking and event rewards
  • SR/SSR hero shards for heroes you don't use — wasted points
  • Decoration items — only buy through events or specific decoration packs
  • Random / chance boxes — never the best value

Weekly Honor Shop Routine

Build the habit:

  1. Check Honor Shop every Monday (or whenever your server's weekly reset is)
  2. Buy ALL Legendary Gear Blueprints first — every single weekly copy
  3. If Mythic Blueprints stocked and you are at HQ 30+, buy those next
  4. Buy any UR hero shards for your active squad heroes
  5. Spend remaining Honor Points on Skill Medals or save for next week
  6. Never let Honor Points cap — there's no point hoarding past comfortable margins

Honor Shop Math

A worked example for an active mid-tier player:

  • Weekly Honor Point earn: ~10,000
  • Legendary Blueprint cost: ~1,200 Honor each, 5 weekly purchases = 6,000
  • Remaining: 4,000 Honor for secondary purchases
  • That 5 blueprints/week = 5 toward the 50+ needed to fully gear one hero
  • Full hero gear progression: ~10 weeks at this rate

This is why missing a weekly refresh hurts so badly — it directly delays your gear progression by a week, and gear progression is one of the slowest systems in the game.

The Compounding Effect

Honor Shop Blueprint discipline compounds. A player who buys all Legendary Blueprints for 30 weeks ends up with 150 blueprints. A player who skips half the refreshes ends up with 75. The first player can fully gear three heroes; the second has barely two. Across a year, the gap between disciplined and casual Honor Shop usage is enormous.

Common Honor Shop Mistakes

  1. Skipping weekly refreshes — the most expensive mistake. Legendary Blueprints have no efficient alternative source
  2. Spending Honor Points on resources — wasted; resources are abundant
  3. Buying SR/SSR shards for heroes you don't use — Honor is too valuable
  4. Hoarding Honor Points instead of spending — no benefit to capping. Spend weekly
  5. Buying gems with Honor — gems come from many cheaper sources
  6. Buying random / chance items — never the best value
  7. Ignoring Honor Shop until late game — early Legendary Blueprints set up your account for the entire game
  8. Letting alliance fall in Wall of Honor rankings — top-25 ranks produce significantly more Honor than mid-tier ranks
  9. Skipping Marshal's Guard / Sky Predator participation — these are major Honor Point sources
  10. Not coordinating alliance for Honor-earning events — Honor compounds when events are hit hard
