Advise on which Champions to unlock during time gates. Introduction This guide was made to help players make their Timegate choices and is generalised based on community feedback and my personal experience. Terminology Swaps refers to all champions in the same slot. Swap in A champion that is temporarilly swapped with another champion (usually the 10th) to gain a quick advantage. i.e. Cattie-Brie and her marked for death ability. 10th Champion Champion in formation that is dropped during "A Grand Tour of the Sword Coast" adventures. For the Core Champions this is ussually Minsc or Jarlaxe Core Champions all Champions that are already unlocked or unlocked through an adventure outside of events/Time gates. Split Priorities A champion may be split into two priorities due to A difference in priority for unlock and Equipment due to only being trully viable if properly equiped during their respective event Only possesing one usefull ability that is unaffected by equipment and having no further use outside that. Having potential but not accepted by the currrent Meta Due to this there are several markers to indicate this usage Unlock - For unlocking the champion Equipment - Event Equipment - Attempting to improve the champions equipment through chests, but only when the champion obtained decent gear during their event. Non-[Champion Name] users - People that don't have, use and or like a particular champion and their abilities. Also show that their is low compatability between the two champions. [Champion Name] users - People that activly use this Champion in every formation in which they are effective. Also shows that their is high compatability between the two champions. Champion Roster Below are two tables showing whic champions belong to which slots. Names that are in bold and underlined are non-event champions and cannot be obtained through Time Gates Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Slot 5 Slot 6 Bruenor Celeste Nayeli Jarlaxe Calliope Asharra Deekin Regis Gronma Stoki Dhadius Krond Donaar Binwin Ishi Diath Evelyn Slot 7 Slot 8 Slot 9 Slot 10 Slot 11 Slot 12 Minsc Delina Makos Tyril Jamilah Arkhan Catti-brie Hitch Drizzt Barrowin Strix Zorbu Farideh Nrakk Birdsong Wulfgar Warden Azaka Vlahnya High Priority Champions that outshine their swaps or posses usefull abilities that can be used with minimal loss in comparisson to their swaps most of these Champions will match or surpass their counterparts in 1-3 timegates. Birdsong - Non-Farideh users - Buffer and 3rd best Damage dealer in game As a high damage dealer possesing a multi hit attack her use should be obvious. She also increases deekins troubadour trope buff by just being in the formation. Inferior to Makos in a Faireh Formation Strix - Excellent Damage dealer Highest damage Potential in game (With Barrowin otherwise outclassed by Farideh) Can out preform Jamilah with a few pieces of gear Powerfull AoE regular attack Decent debuff against enemies that are approaching your formation Farideh - Non-Barrowin users - Best Damage dealer Has Higher Damage potential than Strix (without Barrowin) Powerful Multi-hit regular attack Deals massive damage against enemies attacking your formation Her Pact Family abilty increases her damage greatly for each Tiefling in your formation Wardem - Debuffer/Swap in/Dps Stackable debuff Posses a decent dps bonus Evelyn - Great Buffer an decent tank Evelyn buffs affect everyone in all colums behind her. Posses a semi-large health pool. Gromma - Tank/Buffer/Debuffer Her circle of the mountain makes her a great tank comparable to Nayeli Furthermore her spiked shell ability allows her to stack debuffs on enemies She has a wide range youth based buff She has a buff that increases Neutral champions for each enemie atticking Gromma She also increases deekins troubadour trope buff by just being in the formation. Her Circle of the artic acts as a permanent debuff on all enemies making her also a capable swap in. Vlahnya- Buffer and accelerator. Vlahnya buffs better than Hitch with relativly low equipment. Her Ultimate Removes 10 non-boss enemies from the level (the amount spanned by regular bosses) She also increases deekins troubadour trope buff by just being in the formation. Deekin - Buffer and accelerator. As long as enemies are getting defeated fast enough Deekin Accelerates early runs making him great for gem farming. Deekin can easilly surpass Bruenor as a buffer. Deekin posses one off the best Ultimates in game dealing Damage to all enemies whilst maximizing his buff for the next 30 seconds immediately afterwards His Troubadour Trope uses some of the best champions in game (Himself, Birdsong,Vlahnya and Calliope) Ishi - Grinder (and Medium Priority DPS) Note: Ishi is best used as a Grinder to increase gold find/favor gain Grinder Gold find increased by at least 10% (no equipment) for every non-human champion she is adjacent top. Wait for it ability greatly increases gold find at wall DPS High attack speed always 0.25 seconds faster than the base speed of the fastest Champion. When used as a DPS she is best used as a Dual DPS with Birdsong Ultimate best used with Birdsongs Ultimate due to thre ultimates secondary affect (Halving birdsongs attack speed) also affects Ishi. Azaka Farming ChampionsAzaka users only Below is a list of champions that are considerd high priority for use in an Azaka favor farming formation and are usually of medium or lower priority and for this reason only information regarding this formation will be shown, also only champions that aren't naturally high priority are listed here. [/list] Wulfgar Wulfgar is used in conjuntion with Regis to increase gold find by stunning enemies Regis - Event equipment - Non-Farideh users - Buffer. Regis is used in conjuntion with Wulfgar to increase gold find per stunned enemy. Nrakk Used to increase stunned enemy count. Catti-Brie Used to increase stunned enemy count. Medium priority Champions here are swaps that ussually need equal or better equipment to outpreform their other swaps, or posses a usefull ability that makes them either the 10th champion in formation or a swap in. Swap Ins/ 10th Champions Stoki - Buffer, Debuffer and Grinder Her golden palms Increases gold near the wall minimizing the loss of Jarlaxe's gold buff whilst still possesing buffer skills Her Ki Strikes ability increases damage for enemies hit by Stoki for 5 seconds Catti-Brie - Debuffer Catti-Brie is a debuffer and is in possesion of a strong ultimate that can help get past the wall As marked for death remains even if she is taken out of the formation this allows for her to be quickly switched in and out of formations without loss. Zorbu - Second Minsc. He is primarily used as a damage booster against one of the following enemy types: Drow Fiend Abberation Giant Elemental AlternatesViable to be used as an alternate for their other swaps or other formation Champions Regis - Event equipment - Non-Farideh users - Buffer. Regis can slightly outpreform Celeste with the equal or better equipment that is unlikely to be gotten from only timegate chests Ruby weakness doesn't affect Farideh's Hellish rebuke as it is considerd to have no typing thus making Celeste the better choice for a Farideh Formation. Barrowin - Buffer Her Blessed hammer buff can be used for large damage increases per hammer The barrowin swap is a technique used to maximize the blessed hammer buff for usage see the how to Barrowin farm for fun and profit by Psylia in the other guides section Dhadius - Event equipment - Buffer Dhadius has more mobility than Calliope but only for champions with an intelligence of 14 or higher Krond - Event equipment - DPS Krond's Survival of the Fittest increases dps multiplicativly for every champion with either A strength score of 18 or greater Any evil alignment Donaar - Event equipment - Krond users - Buffer and Grinder Outfit Code Donaar buffs at a similar rate and wider ranger (His column and those behind him) when compared to Celeste. But as the primary dps is the only one that needs to be buffed and Celest usually having better gear he is the weaker buffer of the two. Low Synergy with the following champions Strix, Farideh, Nayeli, Evelyn (all of which can be considerd high priority) as his Flee command causes enemies to move backwards, whilst these champions have abilities that require enemies to be close to or attacking the formation. Best used with Krond for his Survival of the Fittest buff (which should make up the difference between his and Celeste buffing strength on Krond) Loss of Celeste's healing Ultimate His drop command can be used to increase gold gain Low Priority Champions here are either Low priority Swap ins or need better equipment than their swaps to outpreform them which is unlikely to happen. Low priority swap ins Binwin - Destroying armored obstacles Binwin's best use in a formation is using him to destroy obstacles As binwin takes Nayeli's slot it is advised you have either Stoki And/or Barrowin in the same formation to make up for the loss off a buffer If Binwin is used as a DPS he is best used in conjunction with Barrowin due to their high synergiesAlternates Diath - lesser accelerator Diat can double the value of drops and kills for clearing early to mid levels but only on opponents he hits or kills, but with familiars causing near instant kills at early levels and champions one shotting at mid levels unless you have great treasure hunter gear there will be minimal acceleration. As Diat currently needs the full Waffle Crew(Strix, Evelyn And Paulitin (not yet in game)) for his full power he is currently stuck at low priority. Regis - Unlock As Regis can only outpreform Celeste with equal equipment thus, he is only truly viable as a champion if he was obtained through his event. Dhadius - Unlock As Dhadius can only outpreform Caliope with similar or better equipment, he is only truly viable as a champion if he was obtained through his event. Farideh - Barrowin users - Despite everything said in her high priority slot she just doesn't have the synergy with barrowin to be viable in a Barrowin Formation making her best used in variants where Barrowin can't be used. Multi-hit regular attack Ultimate pushes back enemies Specialized No champion is truly useless but these listed will be useless for non-late game vets that use them in specialized formations. Outside of these specialized formations they can be used for Champion restricting levels and gaining their respective achievements for small but permanent damage boost Nrakk Wulfgar Other Guides For more detailed information on many individual event champions and formations for their respective Timegate/Event see the guides below by _Nameless_King_ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1523839268 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1319319295 For how to use the Barrowin swap see the guide below by Psylia https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1336175718 For the Azaka favor farming guide by Psylia see the guide below https://www.reddit.com/r/idlechampions/comments/9kbro6/azaka_favor_farm_guide/
