Size Defying
Size Defying:Defeat Champions or bosses in Defiant Battlegrounds playlist. Bonus progress is awarded for those defeated on Legend difficulty.
This challenge requires you todefeat 25 Champions or bosses in Defiant Battlegrounds.Legend difficulty grants additional progress and spawns more Champions, so we recommend that you attempt to clear Legend if you have some friends or clanmates to play with. If you’re a solo player,farm the normal Defiant Battlegrounds playlist. So long as you kill every Champion, this should only take a few matches to complete.
Relentless Liberator
Relentless Liberator:Gain bonus rewards using a Defiant Key at the end of Defiant Battlegrounds activities.
While the in-game description of this challenge is much longer, Relentless Liberator is simply asking you touse three Defiant Keys this season.You can use these keys at the end of any Defiant Battleground activity to open a chest with bonus rewards, typically seasonal gear. One chest can be opened per run, so you’ll need to complete three Defiant Battlegrounds to finish this challenge.
you may earn Defiant Keys by playing Lightfall activities, ritual playlists, and endgame content.Excluding Defiant Battlegrounds, just about every activity with matchmaking can give Defiant Keys, The season pass also grants three keys through the paid reward track. If you desperately need keys, we recommend farming Vanguard Ops or Crucible matches.

Trial By Firing Squad
Trial by Firing Squad:Win multiple rounds in the Trials of Osiris.
Rewards
Trial by Firing Squad requires you towin 20 rounds in the Trials of Osiris throughout this season.The round wins don’t need to be on the same Passage or even during the same week. For clarity, this challenge requires round wins,notmatch wins. Trials of Osiris matches require one team to win five rounds, so a perfect player will need four matches to finish this challenge. Less skilled players should expect this challenge to take much longer.
Even if you’ve never played Trials before, we recommend giving this challenge a try. Trials is active on most weekends from Friday to Tuesday, and the playlist now uses Fireteam-Based Matchmaking, forcing solo players to match against other solos and the occasional duo squad. Solo players will seldom fight trios and vice versa. As for actual playlist tips:

Defiant Calibration:Calibrate Swords, Bows, and Glaive. Bonus progress for defeating Guardians.
Defeat 150 enemies with Swords, Bows, and Glaivesto complete this challenge, Guardians grant bonus progress, although we don’t recommend bringing Swords or Glaives into the Crucible. If you want to get this done quickly, grab your favorite Glaive and visit Shuro Chi in Last Wish for a quick kill farm. Some other good options include the opening encounter in Grasp of Avarice, most Lost Sectors found in Savathun’s Throne World and Neomuna, and the Partition weekly mission.
