[Context statement: Who I am, what I've done]

[Introduction: IP, gameplay overview]

[Gameplay: Variable sets, contrived writing and failure to capture any of the core elements of the IP, departures from the idle genre, undamentally flawed "choices", the failures of the formation system in the face of click-debuff, the scripting situation]

[Live Service: Event and "content" release structure, recognisable Champions are waylaid in lieu of promotional partnerships with streams, prevalent and enduring bugs, poor stability]

[Development & Community: Complete lack of meaningful interaction with the community, completely unresponsive to feedback, design and balance is solely in the inept hands of Justin (quote and link)]

[Monetisation: Aggressive marketing, how scripting deters purchases of any kind, Wild Offers and price points]

[Conclusion: Closing thoughts, recommendations for other idle games]

As of 1/10/21, I have discontinued the development and maintenance of this guide. At the time of writing, it is overwhelmingly the most popular Idle Champions Guide on Steam, has served just under 10,000 unique visitors and has been favourited by 999 (seriously) people.

My reasons for doing so can be found in the Review featured at the top of the page and the Comments section at the bottom.

For those of you looking for alternatives, the Formations channel on the official Discord is probably your best bet. There are a handful of people there who know what they are talking about but far more who do not, so take their advice with a grain of salt.

'til next we meet,
- Chugsworth

Well, CNE decided to ship their asynchronous multiplayer mode before the end of September, which I suppose means that I'll need to actually try it. I'll say at the outset that my expectations are incredibly low; having read the blog post[www.codenameentertainment.com], the nonsensical design choices are already glaringly apparent. This is not going to be fun.

I'll jot down notes as I "play" each day and then write a full reflection after the Campaign is done.

Day 1

• In order to access the mode you need to have completed the BG:DIA Campaign and then complete a 250-area fluff mission from the main map. The fluff mission is just that: padding.
  
• Oh boy, strap yourselves in for LOBBY SIMULATOR 2021, now with no lobby chat! Campaigns cannot be joined whilst they are in progress, which means that you're going to be sitting around waiting for your lobby to fill. There is no way to communicate with the people who join your lobby. You just wait. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thrilling. Too bad if they decided that the mode is ♥♥♥♥ and that they aren't going to contribute anymore; you're stuck with them. They're bad? Stuck with them. PSA: Don't inflict this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game on your friends just for this.
  
• The Campaign-wide bonuses from selecting a Champion to perma-bench for the duration have little variety and there are no unique bonuses. The strength of the bonus is linked directly to the Champion's average ilevel, so there really isn't a reason why you wouldn't always pick an Evergreen (unless you're an absolute whale or a scripter). An average ilevel of ~1300 is nowhere near the cap for the capped bonuses so I suppose that the scripters are the target demographic these days? Anyway, I chose Makos and the Swamp. It's not like I'm going to be able to run a good Asharra formation anyway. Also, the conventional wisdom that most people will probably think to choose a decent Champion meta-wise only serves to bite them in the ass ("I ike this Champion; I want them to be my leader!" / "Great, now you don't get to use them at all." / "Oh...")
  
• It happened: the lobby filled up! The Campaign launches and... the map glitches. The adventures aren't displayed. The client must be restarted.
  
• Restart. The adventures show up now. Arbitrary restriction: DEX of 10+. Remember how these restrictions add fun and enjoyment in the form of endless variants? Oh, that's right; I, and a great many others, just ignore them entirely because they are mind-numbing. Well, it looks like I'm making a sub-optimal formation every day for a week...
  
• The goal is Area 100. There is Favor for the mode, so the cancer that is click-debuff will continue to reign supreme. The incompetence of the designers at CNE never ceases to amaze me.
  
• You can use potions in the mode, so I sure as ♥♥♥♥ downed as many speed potions as I could to make it go faster. I had passed Area 100 before I finished setting up a speed formation. Zero effort is required (patience notwithstanding) so far.
  
• Might as well get some Favor. Zorbu formation. Good times. Even at 10x speed, the game still feels painfully slow. Bad times.
  
• Check the Campaign map. Only one other person is dealing damage to Tiamat. DPS is based on the highest damage dealt in the adventure itself, so you're meant to push. I suppose that the other three people dipped out because LOBBY SIMULATOR 2021 was too hot for them.
  
• Yep, there it is; I was waiting for it to reveal itself: the mode has been monetised with purchasable scroll packs for Campaign-long buffs. Just what the game needed. So healthy.
  
• Wait a hot second, there is a Campaign-specific chat in the bottom-right of the map... only it's full of fluff text and you can't actually communicate. A-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-plus.
  
• Reset in order to claim the daily DPS goal boost. Live in a bad timezone? Tough luck. The 100 DPS bonus today is about 25% of my total DPS, and more than (almost double) any of the others in my Campaign has managed.
  
• OH LOOK, THE ULT LOCKUP BUG IS STILL A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ THING.

Day 2

• It seems that my other party members did eventually run their Adventure. Tiamat's health is just over 50%. Arbitrary restrictions: DEX of 10+, normal enemies have a 25% chance of reviving after 5 seconds.
  
• Get to Area 125 (Is that a challenge for anybody? Can't you do that on a fresh account?), reset for the daily DPS boost, close game. Thrilling.
  
• Tiamat will be dead by tomorrow so... yay, I guess?

Day 3

• Tiamat only has about 12m health left, so let's rush through this as quickly as possible. Arbitrary restrictions: DEX of 10+, normal enemies have a 25% chance of reviving after 5 seconds, maximum of 4 Good Champions in the formation.
  
• That maximum of 4 Good Champions in the formation restriction? Turns out that it doesn't work. We've been complaining about the fact that CNE does not test their game for years now. As with everything else, they don't listen.
  
• The hover-over text for active potions is also borked beyond belief.
  
• Get to Area 150 (Again, is that a challenge for anybody? Can't you do that on a fresh account?), reset for the daily DPS boost, close game. See the pattern emerging?

Reflections

• Take deep breaths, Darcy. Take deep breaths. You're choosing to do this so that others know better. Deep breaths...
  
• <first draft removed by author: excessive swearing>
  
• Problems. Oh boy, problems. There's a fire sale on problems here, kids. Where to start...?
  
• Remember when we thought that this was going to be an idle game? You know, back in those bright, shiny before-times, when the promise of an official D&D IP idle game sounded cool and exciting? The thought of meaningful gear choices, a growing roster of familiar Champions, the endless opportunities for deep mechanics... it still deeply saddens me how incredibly short this game has fallen from what it could have been. Let me clarify what the gameplay experience is now intended to be: Start or join a Trials of Mount Tedious Campaign, survive LOBBY SIMULATOR 2021, make a formation and push as far as you can, either reset and push again (if you haven't yet learned that Favor is meaningless) or return to the main Campaigns, where you either script or do variants (for some reason). Repeat daily. Also, throw in an Event far too frequently. Where does the idling come into it anymore? Remember that hilarious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke about "not overwhelming players"? It didn't hold water then and it abso-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-positively doesn't now. Oh, and looking back at it, I was absolutely right about the death of rebalances too. I was right about the vast majority of what I wrote.
  
• What is the point of the benched Champion? Seriously? Just designate it as the "Party Leader" or something and let them be usable. The restriction is pointless.
  
• I'll tear into the Legendaries system after I've dabbled in it first-hand, but the blog post alone cements just how stupid and pointlessly RNG-dependent it is meant to be.

Don't spend any money on this game.

Go get vaccinated, if you can.

Oh, and I'm still quitting the game if things don't get significantly better by the end of September so... I'm very confident that I'll be quitting and discontinuing the Compendium. Hopefully, a bunch of you do the same.

If you are so inclined, feel free to follow the channel and, if you're really keen, set up an alert for when I go live.

As of 24.09.20, after 15 months of maintenance, this guide now features at least one formation for every Permanent Campaign, Patron, and Event!

General notes:

• The formations assume access to every Champion. I will not be making Evergreen or "I don't have x" alternatives.
  
• Whilst every effort has been made to list formations that will work universally, formation performance will vary heavily depending on your gear.
  
• Where multiple DPS options are listed, the first is always my highest performing formation. Consult the results listed alongside each formation for more detailed information.
  
• Events will only be updated when they are active or when I use that particular Time Gate. Check the Changelog to see when your desired formation was last updated.
  
• All formation results have been achieved without potions (with the exception of Speed potions), Modron Core bonuses, boss-skips, manual Ultimates or character swapping. In essence, this guide is designed for idle gameplay rather than active gameplay.

Champion-specific testing notes:

• In specific reference to Ezmerelda, Jaheira and Nova, but also as a general rule, Champions that benefit from 'farming' certain kills within a run will not be farmed beyond what constitutes standard usage in that run.
  
• Similarly, Beadle & Grimm will only be tested with 0 Long Rest stacks.
  
• Baeloth will not be primed with multiple stacks of Generous Djinn.
  
• Jim is permitted for cleanup purposes in boss areas where the boss has been defeated and less than four enemies remain (as these areas can demonstrably be cleared at that point and retrying for the correct RNG is not practical).

Current to-do list:

• Update Appendix: Feat Priorities - Due for another update pass for virtually all Champions.
  
• Update Appendix: Gold Formations - Rewrite pending.
  
• Devise, test and add new Event formations whilst updating older formations. - Ongoing. All Event formations are being actively developed and revisited whilst the Events themselves are live. Community Choice votes determine Time Gate usage to update Event formations beyond the annual timetable.
  
• Maintain Appendix: Champion Priorities. - Ongoing
  
• Review and re-test existing formations. - Ongoing

This Appendix was prompted by Mecandes' Champion Unlock Priorities for Chugsworth's Formations (since deleted) and maintained with permission.

The information below is intended to serve as a live snapshot of the deep run meta. It does not take Champions into account from the perspectives of Speed Formations or Gold Formations; those can be found in the Appendix: Speed Formations and Appendix: Gold Formations respectively. The usage statistics are drawn from the formations featured in this guide. This list may not be revised after every formation revision, so it is important to note the last time that it was updated.

"Usage Trajectory" shows my own annotations based on suspected future usage trends. + indicates that the Champion will likely become more prolific in formations whereas - indicates that the Champion will likely see decreased usage. No trajectory indicates little to no expected variation in usage.

These lists contain all Champions currently in the game and can be used to inform your Time Gate priorities.

Current as of: 25.09.20 - SIGNIFICANT UPDATES REQUIRED

Less than an hour before I sat down to write this Appendix, Floursifter posted their Guide to Speed in Idle Champions. It is far more detailed than I ever planned for this Appendix to be, and I recommend taking the time to read through it properly if you are grappling with the idea of making a proper speed formation for the first time.

This Appendix is intended as general advice for building your own speed formations. I will not be providing speed formations for any formation arrangements other than the example shown below.

A speed formation is any formation that includes particular Champions for the purposes of employing specific abilities that operate in various different ways to ultimately increase the rate at which areas are cleared. Currently, those Champions are:

• Slot 1: Deekin (further improved by the "Boss Wants Speed" specialisation)
  
• Slot 2: None
  
• Slot 3: None
  
• Slot 4: Sentry (further improved by the "Echo's Will" specialisation)
  
• Slot 5: Xander (further improved by the "Trying Extra Hard" specialisation), Briv (further improved by the "Metalborn" specialisation)
  
• Slot 6: Shandie (further improved by the "Ranger Training" specialisation)
  
• Slot 7: Minsc
  
• Slot 8: None
  
• Slot 9: None
  
• Slot 10: Havilar (only against Fiend-type enemies and with the imp Dembo active)
  
• Slot 11: None
  
• Slot 12: Melf (further improved by the "Extra Supplements" specialisation)

As the Champion roster continues to expand, we will inevitably need to choose between different speed-relevant Champions. Of the current choices, my priorities are as follows:

• Slot 5: Briv > Xander

Whilst a speed formation by no means requires all of the aforementioned Champions, the most significant speed increases are only achieved when they are used in concert with one another. Personally, I feel that Xander is essentially worthless, especially compared to Briv, I will often avoid Minsc because his impact is so negligible, and, given how hyper-specific her usefulness is, I don't generally use Havilar.

Speed formations are most potent whilst you are still able to instantly defeat enemies as they spawn with click damage and familiars so, assuming that you have them at your disposal, ensure that you have familiars clicking on the field and upgrading click damage. Trying to maximise the BUD of your speed formations is still valuable if you are making use of Firebreath Potions.

To provide an example of this in practice, I'll use the Waterdeep: Dragon Heist formation arrangement:


Initially, I'll just place the speed-relevant Champions. I've done so in such a way that positions Minsc as the DPS. Havilar has intentionally been omitted.


From there, you can fill out your formation as you see fit. I ultimately ended up with this:


Once you reach the point where you are unable to instantly defeat enemies with click damage, almost any speed formation begins to slow down. Personally, I make the decision to swap to my 'proper' formation once enemies begin to consistently reach the tank(s) and Shandie subsequently loses her buff.

This Appendix is intended as general advice for building your own gold formations. I will not be providing gold formations for any formation arrangements other than the example shown below.

THIS ADVICE IS NOT UP-TO-DATE. IT WILL BE REWRITTEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

A gold formation is a formation designed to maximise your gold-find bonus, and ultimately the amount of gold that drops from enemies. Currently, the Champions that contribute gold-find bonus are:

• Slot 1: Bruenor
  
• Slot 2: Regis, Donaar (only when an enemy tagged by the 'Drop' command is defeated)
  
• Slot 3: Omin
  
• Slot 4: Jarlaxle, Stoki, Paultin, Ishi
  
• Slot 5: Pwent (only when adjacent to one of the Companions of the Hall)
  
• Slot 6: Krull
  
• Slot 7: Cattie-brie, Jim (only when an enemy is polymorphed into a mimic), Freely
  
• Slot 8: None
  
• Slot 9: Makos (only when he deals the final blow with the Dark Luck specialisation selected), Drizzt
  
• Slot 10: Wulfgar
  
• Slot 11: None
  
• Slot 12: Arkhan, Azaka

Whilst each of these Champions will improve your gold-find bonus (conditions permitting), currently, the largest gold-find bonus available comes from the Companions of the Hall and maximising the Bounty of the Hall. This is achieved by using:

• Slot 1: Bruenor
  
• Slot 2: Regis
  
• Slot 3: None
  
• Slot 4: None
  
• Slot 5: None
  
• Slot 6: None
  
• Slot 7: Cattie-brie
  
• Slot 8: None
  
• Slot 9: Drizzt
  
• Slot 10: Wulfgar
  
• Slot 11: None
  
• Slot 12: None

A gold formation is inevitably going to have a lower wall than more damage-optimised alternatives. As such, in order to be able to achieve gold drops on areas where the gold formation cannot defeat enemies, Azaka becomes necessary. With her 'Resist The Curse' specialisation, enemies will drop gold every time that they are hit by one of her tigers during her Ultimate. This is commonly referred to as "Azaka Farming".

Additionally, Nrakk, whilst not providing any inherent gold-find bonus, can apply his Githzerai Focus ability when adjacent to Drizzt and, if you have the +1 Wisdom Feat, Bruenor, significantly boosting the Bounty of the Hall. So far, this gives us the following picks:

• Slot 1: Bruenor
  
• Slot 2: Regis
  
• Slot 3: None
  
• Slot 4: None
  
• Slot 5: None
  
• Slot 6: None
  
• Slot 7: Cattie-brie
  
• Slot 8: Nrakk
  
• Slot 9: Drizzt
  
• Slot 10: Wulfgar
  
• Slot 11: None
  
• Slot 12: Azaka

This leaves us with three more picks in 10-Champion formations and two more in AGTotSC's 9-Champion formation. In order of impact, Jarlaxle in his 'Master of Piracy' specialisation provides me with the largest gold-find bonus for Slot 4, Krull's 'Pilfer' stacks can add a considerable gold-find boost (a caveat here: in situations where you are going beyond 10 stacks, Krull overtakes Jarlaxle) and, whilst not a Companion of the Hall in his own right, Pwent's 'Bruenor, Me King!' ability further adds to the Bounty of the Hall. This gives us the following picks:

• Slot 1: Bruenor
  
• Slot 2: Regis
  
• Slot 3: None
  
• Slot 4: Jarlaxle
  
• Slot 5: Pwent
  
• Slot 6: Krull
  
• Slot 7: Cattie-brie
  
• Slot 8: Nrakk
  
• Slot 9: Drizzt
  
• Slot 10: Wulfgar
  
• Slot 11: None
  
• Slot 12: Azaka

To provide an example of this in practice, I'll use the Tomb of Annihilation formation arrangement:


The key adjacency requirements to remember are that Nrakk needs to be adjacent to Drizzt (and Bruenor, if relevant) and Pwent needs to be adjacent to any of the Companions of the Hall. I ultimately ended up with this:


At this point, I would reach the deepest area that I can using my 'proper' formation, swap to my gold formation, ensure that Azaka's Ultimate is not on cooldown, return to the deepest area and trigger Azaka's Ultimate. I would then dump as much gold as I can into over-levelling my 'proper' DPS and test to see if I can make any further area progress.

There are ways to further increase the amount of gold that you get, though they can be tricky to set up. Try swapping Cattie-brie for Jim and having him polymorph and enemy into a mimic, ideally the final enemy on a boss wave so that it is the only enemy remaining and no others will spawn, then swapping back to Cattie-brie and using Azaka's Ultimate. With sufficient debuffs and stuns, familiars can be set up to continually trigger Azaka's Ultimate when it finishes its cooldown and maintain the farm for an extended duration.
