ARES: THE IRON VANGUARD Weekly Reset Priority Guide

Following the weekly reset in ARES: THE IRON VANGUARD, claim your competitive leaderboard payouts first, buy out time-gated stock from reset merchants, clear refreshed instance entries at your highest unlocked difficulty, and evenly distribute your new upgrade materials across your three active combat suits.

Step 1: Claim Ranking Payouts and Complete Placement Matches

Log in immediately after the reset maintenance window to collect your finalized ranking distributions from your system mailbox. Player versus Player (PvP) ladders, server boss rankings, and special instance leaderboards calculate standing right before the reset.

1. Collect honor tokens and mailbox currencies: Arena and competitive payouts yield specialized marks and honor points. Gathering these before spending gold or premium diamonds establishes your exact budget for weekly shops.
2. Play your early placement matches: Resets lower players to divisional tier baselines. Playing your initial matches immediately matches you against the resetting ladder before top-tier players climb and crowd the matchmaking pool.

Step 2: Clear Out Weekly Shop Inventories

In-game vendors feature weekly purchase limits on core growth items that reset once per cycle. Spend your standard gold and earned tokens on progression materials that cannot be acquired reliably through open-world auto-hunting.

• Summon vouchers: Buy out all weekly suit, weapon, and operator summon tickets sold for gold or free currency to build collection stats.
• Suit enhancement cores: Purchase limited core chests to prevent mid-game tier advancement bottlenecks.
• Refinement stones and polishing kits: Stockpile gear substat reroll stones and enhancement protection materials for future gear transitions.
• Dungeon and energy recharges: Secure any extra entry tickets sold for soft currency to support your farming runs.

Avoid spending premium tokens on basic consumable potions or low-tier enhancement minerals that drop regularly during routine combat.

Step 3: Run Refreshed Dungeons at Your Highest Floor

Weekly instance tickets return to maximum capacity at reset, providing your primary source of high-tier crafting components, enhancement stones, and suit upgrade cores.

Always run the highest floor your current Combat Power (CP) qualifies for. Tackling lower difficulties wastes ticket value. If entry passes accumulate as inventory consumables, check their tooltips to ensure they do not expire before you run them.

Step 4: Finish Guild Contributions and Check the Clan Vendor

Visit the guild interface to collect distribution chests earned from your guild's total performance during the previous week.

• Max out your daily gold donations to generate guild coins and fund passive clan research.
• Purchase weekly limited skill books, operator upgrade items, and stat chests from the refreshed guild shop.
• Coordinate with guild officers to confirm scheduled raid and cooperative boss times so entries are not wasted near the end of the weekly cycle.

Step 5: Distribute Upgrades Across Your Combat Suit Trio

Once your rewards and shop materials are gathered, audit your equipment rather than concentrating all resources into a single frame.

Combat in ARES: THE IRON VANGUARD relies on real-time suit switching. Splitting enhancement cores and refinement materials evenly among your three active suits maintains balanced defenses and damage output across rotations. Finally, inspect your operator and vehicle tabs to activate any passive collection bonuses unlocked by your weekly summon pulls.
