Phases

A guardian gets angrier as it loses health: every new phase makes it faster (speed ×1.08, wind-ups ×0.92, cooldowns ×0.88), opens a new attack from phase 2 on and a signature attack from rank C. The number of phases depends on the rank of the dungeon (2 at rank E up to 6 at rank Nation). See Monsters overview.

Rewards

A guardian pays one prize per awakened who fought it: guardian spoils (equipment, shards, boost items, rare items), then the chests of the dungeon: rifts guide.
