ARES: THE IRON VANGUARD Global Launch Reward and Event Guide

To optimize your early progression during the global launch of ARES: THE IRON VANGUARD, open the event interface immediately upon logging in, claim all active reward bundles, and complete daily event tasks before tackling cumulative milestones. Allocate your earned event materials directly into upgrading your primary and secondary combat suits to keep your Combat Power (CP) ahead of story zone requirements.

Global Launch Event Priorities

Launch events are split between daily tasks and long-term milestones. Prioritize them in the following order to maintain consistent growth:

• Daily Event Objectives: Complete these every day first. They provide a steady stream of basic currencies and suit enhancement materials that reset daily.
• Cumulative Milestones: Track cumulative event goals across the launch period to earn high-tier suit enhancement shards.
• Event Shop Purchases: Focus your event currency on permanent upgrades, such as base stat boosts and character experience items, rather than temporary consumable boosts.

Managing Reward Bundles and Inventory

Claiming multiple launch gifts fills inventory slots quickly. Manage your storage and gear claimed from bundles using these steps:

1. Clear Inventory Space: Check your inventory capacity before opening large reward bundles to ensure all items are received properly.
2. Evaluate Combat Power Gains: Review claimed items to identify which pieces provide the largest immediate increase to your CP indicator.
3. Distribute Suit Upgrades: Upgrade both your primary combat suit and your secondary suit. Maintaining two upgraded suits ensures you can handle varying encounter types and boss mechanics.
4. Clear Story Gates: Compare your current CP against mandatory story boss requirements. If you hit a progression gate, return to the event interface to finish secondary challenges for the specific materials needed to cross the threshold.
