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.

Drops (1839)

Every item Soulgnawer can drop when looted, best chance first. A range means the rate shifts with party size, map district or game mode.

The first Soulgnawer your team loots in a match also feeds 30–225 points into the drop guarantee, which upgrades a future drop to Legendary once it fills.
