The Trial of Heavens is a special, limited-time event in Hero Wars that introduces Celestial Skins and offers players a unique map, quests, and shop to earn valuable rewards. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the event, ensuring you make the most of this celestial arena and power up your heroes. Originally launched in 2022, the Trial of Heavens is a recurring event that players eagerly anticipate for its exclusive offerings.
Understanding the Trial of Heavens Event
The Trial of Heavens event is more than just a series of battles; it’s an immersive experience designed to enhance your Hero Wars gameplay. This 7-day event is centered around a special map where you’ll engage in boss fights to earn Oriental Coins, the event-specific currency. These coins can be used in the exclusive event shop to acquire precious resources like Soul Stones for heroes eligible for new Celestial Skins, training items, and equipment. Even better, equipment obtained can be diverted to any of your heroes, offering strategic flexibility in your team development. While the main event lasts for seven days, the exclusive shop remains open for an extra day, giving you more time to utilize your earned coins.
Official Insights into the Trial of Heavens
According to official Hero Wars communications, the Trial of Heavens event kicks off on August 5th, 2 AM UTC, and runs for a full week. Participation revolves around completing quests to gather Harmony Scrolls. These scrolls are essential as they are your entry tickets to challenge bosses on the special event map. Successfully defeating these bosses rewards you with Oriental Coins, which are your key to unlocking the treasures within the special event shop.
The introduction of the Celestial skin type is a major highlight of the Trial of Heavens. Initially, Satori, Galahad, and K’arkh were the first heroes to receive these distinctive skins, marking a significant visual and potentially stat-boosting upgrade for these popular characters.

Mastering Boss Battles in the Celestial Arena
Boss battles are the core of the Trial of Heavens event. Here’s what you need to know to conquer them:
- Progressive Difficulty: Boss strength incrementally increases as you defeat them. This escalating challenge encourages strategic team building and hero development. However, the initial difficulty is manageable, making it accessible for a wide range of players.
- Raid for Efficiency: Once you successfully defeat a boss at its weakest strength, you unlock the ability to raid. Raiding allows you to instantly claim victory and rewards based on your previous performance, saving time while consistently earning rewards.
- Risk-Free Attempts: Don’t fear defeat! If you lose a boss battle, the Harmony Scrolls you used to initiate the challenge are returned to you. This risk-free system encourages experimentation and allows you to refine your strategies without penalty.

Daily Quests: Your Daily Dose of Harmony Scrolls
Daily quests are essential for consistent progress in the Trial of Heavens.
- Five Daily Exclusive Quests: Each day of the event, five unique daily quests become available on the special map. Completing these quests is a reliable way to accumulate Harmony Scrolls and Oriental Coins.
- Quest Reset Timing: These daily quests reset and refresh according to the system update time, which is 11:00 AM Japan time. Be mindful of this timing to optimize your daily quest completion.
- Strategic Timing: It’s advisable to hold off on completing your regular daily routines in Hero Wars until after the Trial of Heavens event quests have updated. This ensures you don’t miss out on event-specific quests and maximize your daily rewards.

Event Shop: Harmony Shop and Celestial Skins
The Harmony Shop is your destination to spend your hard-earned Oriental Coins. It offers a range of valuable items, including:
- Hero Soul Stones: Acquire Soul Stones for heroes who received Celestial Skins during this event, allowing you to upgrade their star level and power.
- Equipment: Obtain equipment pieces to enhance your heroes’ stats. Remember, event equipment can be used on any hero, offering flexibility.
- Other Resources: The shop may also contain other useful resources like hero potions, skin stones, or artifact coins.

There are no specific advantages to using the event shop for Celestial Skins compared to the standard methods of obtaining them (Skin Stone Bundles or Skin Stone Shop). Therefore, procure Celestial Skins at your own pace and according to your needs, without feeling pressured by the event shop.

Event Timeline and Post-Event Information
Mark your calendars! The Trial of Heavens event typically runs for 7 days. In 2022, it started on Friday, August 5th.
- Event End: The event, special map, and quests will disappear on August 12th, 2 AM UTC.
- Shop Extension: The Harmony Shop remains open for one additional day, closing on August 13th, 2 AM UTC.
Post-Event Currency Conversion
After the event concludes, any remaining Harmony Scrolls and Oriental Coins will be automatically converted into Harmony Chests at the following rates:
- 750 Harmony Coins = 1 Harmony Chest
- 3 Harmony Scrolls = 1 Harmony Chest
This conversion ensures that your efforts during the event are still rewarded, even if you don’t spend all your currency in time. You will need to reload your browser after the event to receive these converted chests. A deadline for claiming these rewards will be set, so ensure you log in and collect them promptly.
Claiming Uncollected Rewards
- Unclaimed Bundle Shares: Bundle shares left unclaimed will be available in your in-game Mail for 30 days.
- Unclaimed Quest Rewards: Unclaimed quest rewards will be accessible in your Mail for 3 days.
Bonus Tip: Maximizing Chest Conversion
For savvy players, there’s a trick to potentially gain an extra Harmony Chest from leftover currency. This method exploits the rounding-up of fractions during the automatic conversion process.
- Strategic Currency Management: Intentionally leave a fraction of currency by not fully claiming a quest reward (e.g., leave 1 Harmony Scroll unclaimed from a quest). Also, keep at least 1 Harmony Scroll unspent in your inventory.
- Post-Event Reload: After the Harmony Shop closes, reload your browser. You should receive 1 Harmony Chest in your in-game mail based on the Harmony Scroll you held in your inventory.
- Double Dip: The Harmony Scroll left unclaimed in the quest will also appear in your mail. After receiving the initial chest, claim this scroll from your mail and reload your browser again.
- Extra Chest: Check your mail again; you should receive a second Harmony Chest.
This method effectively converts 2 Harmony Scrolls into 2 Harmony Chests by leveraging the rounding mechanism. While this trick may not work for all events, it’s worth trying to maximize your post-event rewards.
