To unlock Bjorn Ironside's limited-time looks in Vikingard, reach the designated milestone tiers in the Bjorn's Growth Challenge by funneling your character enhancement materials directly into Bjorn before the crossover event expires.
Because event-exclusive looks are tied to high-tier developmental checkpoints, dividing resources among secondary hersirs risks leaving your challenge track incomplete when the collaboration timer runs out.
How the Growth Challenge Works
Bjorn's Growth Challenge is a milestone ladder tied to the Vikingard x VIKINGS crossover. Unlike standard hero cultivation, this challenge converts Bjorn's individual stat progression, promotion ranks, and battle participation into event points and tiered rewards.
Advancing through the ladder accomplishes two objectives:
- Unlocking Visual Looks: Reaching designated milestone thresholds unlocks Bjorn's television-inspired cosmetic appearances.
- Cascading Progression: Clearing early tiers awards event tokens, hero EXP, and aptitude materials that feed directly into the requirements for later tiers.
Core Milestones to Prioritize
To maintain steady progress toward the cosmetic rewards, concentrate your efforts on the specific actions that advance the challenge board:
- Daily Event Quests: Clear time-sensitive daily collaboration quests upon reset to harvest event tokens and dedicated upgrade items.
- Level and Ascension Checkpoints: Push Bjorn's base level using hero EXP and Challenge Seals to overcome level caps and clear tier gates.
- Aptitude Increases: Invest assigned aptitude tomes directly into Bjorn's military and combat aptitudes to satisfy raw power milestones.
- Campaign Deployment: Include Bjorn in required story skirmishes and alliance battles to accumulate designated combat tallies.
Resource Allocation for the Challenge
Reaching the top tiers requires significant material investment. Prioritize your spending to ensure you clear the cosmetic threshold before the event ends.
| Resource | Target Application | Challenge Value |
|---|---|---|
| Hero EXP / Mead | Base hero levels | Clears foundational level requirements and expands troop capacity. |
| Aptitude Tomes | Military and combat stats | Drives the raw strength metrics required for advanced tiers. |
| Challenge Seals | Promotion rank breakpoints | Removes level caps to access high-tier milestone tracks. |
| Event Tokens | Event shop bundles | Purchase Bjorn-specific growth packs instead of general town supplies. |
Next Steps for Pacing Your Progress
- Check the Target Tier: Open the event menu immediately and locate the exact milestone tier that awards the limited-time look. Note the level and stat thresholds required for that tier.
- Bank and Batch Upgrades: Avoid spending upgrade materials incrementally if they will not push Bjorn past an immediate milestone checkpoint. Gather materials from daily collaboration tasks, then upgrade across entire promotion thresholds at once to guarantee reward claims.
- Monitor the Collaboration Timer: Milestone tracks and unclaimed looks retire as soon as the crossover window closes. Claim unlocked rewards immediately upon clearing each tier rather than waiting for the final day.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This saved me time in the early game.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Vikingard articles next.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
