* Each time the mobile guardian is staggered, all players are granted one stack of the following buffs, each buff stacking up to 3 times:
	+ Enhanced Speed: Grants up to +40% increased attack speed and move speed and up to -70% skill cooldown at 3 stacks.
	+ Enhanced Recovery: Reduces skill cost by up to -30% at 3 stacks, and MP recovery increases per stack.
	+ Physical Enhancement: Grants up to +800% attack power, +500% stagger damage, and +60% crit rate at 3 stacks.
* Flares do not reveal the mobile guardian on the minimap.
	+ The mobile guardian is automatically revealed on the minimap once the other two guardians are defeated.
* The integrated preset used for Event Guardian Raid is the integrated preset used for Challenge Guardian Raid.
* The boss rotation occurs every day.

### Annihilation Executioner

A special version of this event can happen through the rotation. It has two variants: Tytalos and Night Fox Yoho.

#### Tytalos

* It only has two bosses: Annihilation Executor Deskaluda and Tytalos.
* In this version of the event, players start the encounter against Tytalos alone. After a short while Tytalos goes into a stagger check. During the stagger check, Deskaluda will land on Tytalos, staggering it and granting players 1 stack of each buff. After this, Tytalos will leave the battlefield.
	+ After this, players need to damage Deskaluda, which will eventually trigger Deskaluda to charge a dash that can be countered. If players counter Deskaluda in time, they will gain 1 stack of each buff. Staggering Deskaluda also grants 1 stack of each buff. After a while, Tytalos will shortly return to the battlefield to summon a sand tornado that will freeze Deskaluda, then Tytalos will leave.
	+ When Deskaluda is defeated, Tytalos will return. Players will need to defeat Tytalos to end the raid.

#### Night Fox Yoho

* It only has two bosses: Annihilation Executor Deskaluda and Night Fox Yoho.
* In this version of the event, players start the encounter against Night Fox Yoho alone. After a short while Night Fox Yoho goes into a stagger check. During the stagger check, Deskaluda will land on Night Fox Yoho, staggering it and granting players 1 stack of each buff. After this, Night Fox Yoho will leave the battlefield.
	+ After this, players need to damage Deskaluda, which will eventually trigger Deskaluda to charge a dash that can be countered. If players counter Deskaluda in time, they will gain 1 stack of each buff. Staggering Deskaluda also grants 1 stack of each buff. After a while, Yoho's Phantoms (summoned by Night Fox Yoho) will appear to aid the players in defeating Deskaluda.
	+ When Deskaluda is defeated, Night Fox Yoho will return. Players will need to defeat Night Fox Yoho to end the raid.
