Winterfest is in full swing in Hero Wars, and with it comes plenty of opportunities to earn rewards, exchange gifts, and climb the rankings. But with so much going on, you might have questions about how to make the most of this festive event. That’s why we’ve put together a detailed breakdown of the official Winterfest FAQ to guide you through every step. From maximizing your rewards to managing gifts and understanding the rankings, this guide has all the tips and insights you need to dominate Winterfest. Read on to unlock the secrets of this magical event and ensure you don’t miss out on any opportunities!
Sending an Augustus Gift earns you 2,000 Experience points. You can even send gifts to yourself, but keep in mind, you won’t earn Generosity or Popularity points for the Winterfest Ranking by doing this.
If you activate the Golden Ticket, you’ll gain access to special bundles containing Experience points, giving you even more opportunities to level up during the event.
Unfortunately, no. Gifts can only be sent to your current guildmates. If a player has left your Guild, you won’t be able to send them a gift in return.
If you forget to select a specific gift, don’t worry. You’ll still receive a random present from the list of options. But I recommend making a choice to ensure you get the rewards you want most!
Decorating the Winterfest Tree rewards you with Winterfest Coins, which are essential for sending gifts to your guildmates or yourself. Plus, when your Guild levels up the Tree, every member of the Guild receives a present!
Here’s an important note: If you’ve already received a gift for leveling up the Tree in one Guild, you won’t get the same gift again if you switch Guilds. So, choose your Guild wisely during the event!
To maintain fair play, there are restrictions on how often you can switch Guilds:
• You can switch Guilds three times within a 7-day period. If you try to join a fourth Guild, you’ll receive a message saying, “You have changed Guilds too often,” and you’ll face a 7-day ban from joining any Guilds.
• If you accumulate three or more bans within a month, you’ll face a 30-day restriction from joining Guilds.
Remember to use all your Winterfest Baubles and Coins before the event ends! They won’t be exchanged or carried over, so spend them wisely to maximize your rewards.
Winterfest features three types of rankings:
1. Generosity Ranking for sending gifts.
2. Popularity Ranking for receiving gifts.
3. Guild Ranking for decorating Winterfest Trees.
In the Guild Ranking, Guilds compete to decorate their Trees, and you can check the rules for these rankings in the lower-right corner of the Winterfest Ranking window.
No, Generosity and Popularity points are only awarded when you send gifts to your guildmates.
Be cautious! If you transfer your character to another server, your ranking will reset.
Additionally, gaining an unfair advantage—such as using multiple accounts to exchange gifts for higher rankings—is strictly forbidden. Players caught doing this will be disqualified, and their progress will be reset.
The winners of the Winterfest Rankings will be announced on December 31. You can also check the countdown timer at the bottom of the Winterfest Ranking screen to track the time left.
