Every challenge page has a difficulty tier and ratings assigned to them. Ratings are assigned 1-10 (with special exception given to exceptionally difficult challenges) for execution and strategy. You can think of it like this:
Difficulty: Overall difficulty of the challenge (see below for a short description of each difficulty tier)
Execution: Execution (superguard/guarding density, action commands) difficulty of the challenge
Strategy: Strategic (planning, preparation, on-the-fly strategy) difficulty of the challenge
This page lists all wiki-official challenges. For custom challenges that have been assigned difficulty tiers and ratings, see this page.
