Rewards
Treasure coffers that appear upon completing AAC Light-heavyweight Tier will not yield gear, but instead yield tokens that can be traded for gear of your choosing.
There is no weekly restriction on entering the tier, but you can only receive one token per individual Light-heavyweight raid each week. In the event you are awarded a token from the loot list, you relinquish your right to vie for all remaining tokens regardless of whether you selected Need or Greed.
Reward eligibility will be reset on each weekly reset.
Item Exchange
The items obtained from treasure coffers can be exchanged for gear by speaking with Hhihwi in Solution Nine (X:8.7 Y:13.4).

Trivia
- The name of the tier appears to reference the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship wrestling tournament.
- In a Live Letter prior to the release of Dawntrail, the Japanese name of the first duty was accidentally revealed as "ライトヘビー級１", which roughly translates to "Light Heavyweight, Round 1".
- This is also the first raid tier in which each boss has a unique and original battle theme.
