Optimal Formations (Events & Permanent Campaigns)

GHub Platform · Гайд · 0 ответов · 3 просмотра

I'm creating this guide for the purpose of helping new and experienced players create the best formations to advance through permanent campaigns and events. For each campaign and event there will be sections for new players where I only use the original champions and Hitch. I will also make a section for experienced players that I will assume have most champions (my guides will contain all event champions except for Stoki and Krond). For the permanent campaigns there will be sections on blessings, and how you should spend your favor. If you find yourself in having some, but not all of the event champions I use feel free to tell me who you have and I'll try and find a good formation for you. NEW Champion Analysis Guide! (Yeah, bear with me, it's an enormous WIP) I plan on tackling a few champs each week. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1523839268 Hello and welcome to Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms! If you're a big DnD fan, I hope you enjoy this game, and if you're brand new to anything DnD (like me!) I think you'll still enjoy it. Here I'll give some general tips to the new player. Reset often! At the start of the game you'll find you can't progress all that far and that many champions will be too expensive to buy. Reset your game when it gets hard to progress any further and you'll earn Divine Favor which will increase your gold find and you can spend on other goodies. Open your chests at the End of your runs. This will help give you a solid boost to your favor. Try and farm over night! You'll have a big favor gain in the morning! Subscribe to the Newsletter and get Hitch!

Once Delina is unlocked click on the arrow on her portrait so you can swap her with Hitch! Bruenor Abilities Inspired ~ Increases the damage of Bruenor by 100% for each adjacent champion. Rally ~ Increases the damage of champions in the same column as Bruenor by 100%. Specialization What's the difference? If you choose Champion, Bruenor will have future upgrades that increase his Inspired ability. If you choose Battle Master he will have future upgrades that increase his Rally ability. Which should I choose? If you are a brand new player on your first few runs of the game choose Champion. To begin Bruenor is probably your best damager. After your done with your first run or two always choose Battle Master. Celeste Abilities Crusader's Mantle ~ Increases the damage of champions adjacent to Celeste by 100%. Mass Cure Wounds ~ Heals the champions in the column ahead of Celeste by 10 every second. Specialization What's the difference? Choosing War Domain will give Celeste future opportunities to upgrade her Crusader's Mantle ability. Choosing Life Domain will give her future upgrades to Mass Cure Wounds. Which should I choose? Always War Domain. Barring a massive change to the game system, damage will always outweigh healing ability. Nayeli Abilities Aura of Courage ~ Increases the damage of champions in the column behind Nayeli by 100%. Aura of Protection ~ Increases the damage of all champions by 50% for each enemy currently attacking Nayeli. Stacks additively per enemy. Specialization What's the difference? Oath of Vengeance allows Nayeli to enhance her Aura of Courage ability with future upgrades. Oath of Devotion gives Nayeli upgrades that dramatically increase her total health. Which should I choose? Always choose Oath of Vengeance. Same reason as with Celeste. It's most important to maximize your total damage. Jarlaxle Abilities Room to Work ~ Increases the damage of Jarlaxle by 100% if there is no one directly in front of him. Equal Opportunity ~ Increases the damage of Jarlaxle by 100% if Jarlaxle is adjacent to at least 3 unique races. Increased Gold Find ~ Jarlaxle has a passive ability where he periodically gets upgrades that increase your gold find by 10%. Stacks multiplicatively. Specialization What's the difference? If you choose Loner, Jarlaxle will get future upgrades that improve his Room to Work Ability. If you choose Socialite he will get future upgrades that improve his Equal Opportunity Ability. Which should I choose? I find Socialite to be more effective since it's hard for Room to Work to be in use with Nayeli tanking. Loner is only the better choice in odd event formations where Jarlaxle can be placed without anybody in front of him. Calliope Abilities Bardic Inspiration ~ Increases the damage of champions in the column in front of Calliope by 100%. Song of Protection ~ Grants 250 temporary hit points to damaged champions within 2 slots of Calliope. Specialization What's the difference? College of Valor focuses Calliope's future upgrades on enhancing Bardic Inspiration. College of Lore focuses Calliope's future upgrades on enhancing Song of Protection. Which should I choose? For the same reasons mentioned for previous champions College of Valor is better. Asharra Abilities The only ability Asharra has is the one granted by her Specialization. Specialization What's the difference? You may choose between one of 3 Asharra's Bonds, each of which increases the damage of champions belonging to a certain racial group(s) by 100%. Which should I choose? Choose the Bond that alligns with your main damage dealer. Minsc Abilities The only ability Minsc has is the one granted by his Specialization. Specialization What's the difference? You may choose between one of five Minsc's Favored Enemies, each of which increases the damage done to a certain enemy type by 100%. Which should I choose? Wait until you reach your wall, and decide based upon the enemy type there. If you are in the Tomb of Annihilation campaign always choose Favored Enemy: Undead. Keep in mind that it is possible for none of the Favored Enemy choices to apply to certain enemies. Delina (if for some odd reason you aren't using Hitch) Abilities Twinned Spell ~ Delina's attacks richochet to a nearby enemy for 50% of the original damage. Empowered Spell ~ When Delina attacks enemy they take an additional 50% of the original damage dealt over the next two seconds. Specialization What's the difference? Font of Magic gives Delina future upgrades for her Twinned Spell ability. Endless Empowerment gives her future upgrades for her Empowered Spell ability. Which should I choose? Honestly you shouldn't choose at all since you should be using Hitch (if you don't have Hitch check the "Getting Started" section for information on how to get him). But if you do insist upon using Delina I advise taking the upgrade path for which you have better gear. Hitch Abilities Spare Dagger ~ Adds a thrown dagger to Hitch's basic attack. Friendly ~ Increases the damage of champions by 100% if their Charisma score is greater than 13. Specialization What's the difference? Choosing More Daggers gives Hitch future upgrades that add more spare daggers to his basic attack. Choosing Charismatic focuses his future upgrades on enhancing his Friendly ability. Which should I choose? Charismatic is always the better bet. Makos Abilities Makos' abilities are granted through his Specialization Specialization What's the difference? Dark Luck gives an additional 100% gold from enemies that Makos dishes the killing blow on. Dark Blessing increases the damage of champions who aren't adjacent to Makos by 100%. Which should I choose? Makos is one of the few champions where you will frequently use both specializations. If you are currently trying to farm gold and increase your favor choose Dark Luck, if you are trying to complete a variant or push to a new high level choose Dark Blessing. Tyril Abilities Tyril's abilities are granted through his Specialization Specia
