- "The Iron Banner calls Guardians to prove themselves in the Crucible. Their emissary waits in the Tower to reward those who excel."
- — Event summary
The Iron Banner is a Crucible event, watched over by Lord Saladin. Unlike normal Crucible matches, where gear is leveled to make an even playing field, having the best gear matters in the Iron Banner. Therefore, gear acquisition and selection is crucial before entering the event.[1] A Guardian's level will also affect the outcome.[2]
