Lost Ark: Challenge Guardian Raid - differences from regular Guardian Raids

The May update of Lost Ark brought players a new weekly challenge known as Challenge Guardian Raids. Like Guardian Raids, Challenge Guardian Raids have multiple bosses that you and three other players have to fight. You'll be fighting bosses identical to those you've fought before in Guardian Raids, except for a few bosses that have been upgraded.

Players reaching the Lost Ark endgame may be confused by the difference between the two raids. One is the daily activity you do, and the other is that you can only enter once a week. Guardian Raids' challenges provide significantly better Lost Ark gold,  rewards, including many gear enchanting materials, trinkets, and class engravings.

There is a separate sign to access the Guardian-Trial raids, located next to each continent's regular Guardian raid sign. Navigate to the desired character and press "G" to enter the menu. Note. To participate, you must have an item level of at least 460.

Every week you can participate in three raids of the guardians of the test. These bosses will be a reworked, more robust version of the previous, weaker Guardian Raid (e.g., Urnil is a more powerful version with new attacks). In contrast, some bosses have identical moves but are still more decisive.

The big difference between Guardian Raids and Challenge Guardian Raids is the exact item level. Stats for all participants are equalized, regardless of your item level. (You can play item level 460 as item level 1445 and have the same stats.) Also, you can't go back to spawn to collect more potions. If you bring five tinctures into battle, that's all you get.

Other than that, most of the content tends to be the same. Most of the previous Guardian Raid guides apply to any bosses featured in the Challenge Guardian Raid mode, so look to them for help if you're having trouble clearing one of them with a group.
