Health and attack rise with the zone’s intensity, and elites and bosses carry far more of both in a 3-player raid than solo. Kill XP runs the other way — a solo kill is worth roughly triple, though in a squad every living teammate is paid the same amount. Defence, crit damage and block rate don’t change. Full XP tables are on the progression page.
