Champ

Champ is the seal and title earned during the Guardian Games event by completing its Event Challenge triumphs. This page covers the 2026 event (March 24 to April 14, 2026, alongside Destiny 2: Renegades). Seal progress resets at the end of each event, so Champ can only be earned while Guardian Games is live.

Overview

• Activity: Guardian Games 2026, run from the Tower podium and Eva Levante, using Rushdown (a boss-rush activity with daily rotating bosses), Rush Remixed and Supremacy (a class-based Crucible mode).
• Title granted: Champ (gildable; see below).
• Estimated time: a few days of play spread across the three-week event. The seal asks for Event Rank 30, 15 Contender or Platinum Cards, and a set of Rushdown and Supremacy grades.
• Status: event-only and time-limited. Triumphs reset when the event ends; a title already earned is kept.
• Size: the seal has 12 triumphs in total: 8 for the base title and 4 gilding triumphs, which unlock only after the base seal is complete (marked below).

Required triumphs

• Boss Bully: defeat 25 bosses in any activity. Rushdown is the fastest source.
• Divine Slayer (gilding): defeat 50 bosses in Rushdown.
• Going the Distance (gilding): get a perfect score in "The Gauntlet" by having all six players complete every lap before time runs out. Reported objectives for this triumph differ between sources and years (2026 guides describe banking Medallions, with bonus progress for Platinum Medallions), so check the in-game text on your account.
• Hall of Fame (gilding): get an A grade in Rushdown without dying, and finish a Supremacy match with a score of at least 30.
• High Voltage: get 300 final blows with Arc damage (Guardians count for more).
• In It to Win It: earn a Medallion from activity completions and bank it at the podium in the Tower.
• Noble Aura: reach Event Rank 15.
• Podium Terminus: finish 10 Rushdown or Supremacy activities with a grade of B or higher.
• Record Setter: complete 15 Contender or Platinum Cards from Eva Levante (Platinum Cards give more progress).
• Supremely Forged: complete 7 matches of Supremacy or Trials of Osiris, with bonus progress for wins.
• Teacher's Pet (gilding): reach Event Rank 30.
• Victory Lap: complete 7 Rushdown activities.

Gilding

The gilded Champ seal needs the four gilding triumphs above: Teacher's Pet, Going the Distance, Divine Slayer and Hall of Fame. They unlock only after the base seal is complete. Gilding is possible only while the event is live and resets with each Guardian Games.

Tips

• Bank Medallions at the podium regularly. In It to Win It and the gilding triumph Going the Distance both depend on banking them, and Platinum Medallions give bonus progress.
• Match the Arc requirement of High Voltage with an Arc subclass while running Rushdown, so two triumphs advance at once.
• Rushdown bosses rotate daily, so check the day's bosses before choosing a loadout.

Rewards

• The Champ title. For the event weapons, see Guardian Games: Triple Laureate, The Beacon and Keraunios.
