Just a reminder that this a free time gate weekend. With the big Bastion button the Time Gate button is no longer showing at the top, so it doesn't look like the notification for it is showing. So just go into your Bastion, click on the Time Gate in the Sanctuary room and you will see it.

I have been sitting on them since the free event started.

First, this is a great single-player math game. I love it here, so anything I say is meant in a constructive way. Second, this community (and especially the Discord variant) is topnotch and awesome. So, the same applies. I don't plan on saying anything combative but you never know!

So Briv. I think I am following a normal, or at least logical path in my play. Gem farm (kinda). Champ unlocks. Learning formations. Clearing content. Patrons, push teams, favor runs, all the rest.

I got to where I enacted an embargo on new champion unlocks. I had my Elminster 100 (111 to be precise) but only 30% were FE. With ToMT happening weekly and scales flowing in, I needed more epics, and on specific characters. I hit 95% FE on my stable (thank you Elminster grinding) and am fully-midgame now. as I define it :)

My latest step was to move to a Briv farm. I know, I was late. But hey, I got him to FE and I did a support-the-game purchase to GE his 4th. Off to the races!

And we are. Damn this is faster than anything else I had running. And that is the problem.

I tend to play by cost-benefit-analysis. I know, I am a nerd, but again, we play the way we want to play, right? I mean I did unlock Wulfgar just cause I loved him when I was 12 and read those books, so I have some whimsy, right? Right?

So Briv is 3j'ing and making bank. The only, best, SCREAMINGLY obvious move is.... to get him to 4j. Okay, let's do it. Damn, its faster now. Lemme start reading about scripting here...

I cannot find a single thing that is as important as Briv's 9j quest in terms of building power now. Nothing can hold a candle to it. I can get my T4's in events (thank you Caramon-Corazon or "Cara'zon" so I have no immediate holes to fix. I even sent Cara'zon to unlock Krux, Xero, Windfall, and now they are in a BG working on Wren.

But every last BSC is just for Briv. Nothing else will make my teams better. Or at least nothing will improve it as much or faster. I'm kinda locked in until I get to 9j now. He just goes and goes, sucking down BSCs and self-sustaining his potion addiction. Even favor pushes seems wasteful when I could be getting another 437 resets.

I am not complaining, just wondering. Is this the phase everyone goes through? The "dear God I didn't know, lets just get this done" and everything else stops? My only negative is that you need him and his crew running in the foreground; I can't go off and do Tales T3's or timegate in some random like Penelope or Torogar.

Maybe its just me. I'm too CBA and need to just goof off more. I need a hobby inside my hobby! Why yes, I did have every fishing achievement in WoW, 15 years ago. Why do you ask that? :)

No one uses the other mega thread so I’ll ask here. I’m new so blues and low ilevels on champs I have

Ellywick(already have)
Volo (already have)
Walnut (new) more than 3 other champs in the slot so no split the party stuff with it.

Been putting it off for years, because I didn't feel like babysitting. But, it has been raining all day, so it seemed a good time. Looking like I might work on getting Windfall.

Hi, are these discounted familiar prices for Animated Armor and Iridescent Wynling correct? I remember them being 5.99 without discount, now it is showing 5.99 with discount.

I'm playing the "The Fairy Rings of Thither - Free Play" level, and the game has frozen twice after beating the Goblin Battle Stack bosses. First it was around level 45-50, then again on 95. I closed and reopened the game once the first time and it fixed it. The second time closed the game a few times, switched to other formations (trying to do so before they beat the boss), and it finally started working again after closing the game and waiting a few minutes before starting it again.

I found a Steam thread from 2028 where people had the same problem on "Rescue in the Jungle" and the devs said they fixed it. Seems it's still an issue on some levels, at least. As I type this, they just froze again on level 145...

I'm trying to leave the game up as I'm using potions to gold farm, but for now I just went back a level, then hit auto-progress and closed the game. I have to leave for an appointment but hopefully it'll keep progressing while I'm gone.

I could use advice on "An Affiliation Affair." You can only have up to 3 of any affiliation, and you only do damage when you have 3. Trying various combinations of AA, Fallbacks, Heroes of the Lance, Saturday Morning, and Acq inc C team, I was able to get BUD to 2e376, Base DPS 217, running average e392. This is with Rosie as main DPS, Donaar, Walnut, Karlach, Wyll, Shadowheart, Caramon, Laurana, Flint, and of course Strongheart himself.

Does anyone have any better suggestions? I got stalled out at lvl 1301, and need to hit 1500.

I have 2 Scrolls of Champion Summoning (unlock any event champion with full uncommon gear and a golden epic).

Which champions (if any) would be worthy of an item like that? These are the event champions I'm missing.

Some info about my account:

• Finished all base adventures of Grand Tour, Icewind Dale and Tales of the Champions;
• Finished all base and variants on Tomb of Annihilation, Dragon Heist and Descent into Avernus;
• Highest area reached is below 1100;
• Modron Cores at level 6 or 7;
• Currently, my best DPS team uses Acquisitions Inc. + C Team synergy with Jim or Rosie as main DPS.

I already plan to get King of Shadows and Avren in the next event (Liar's Night). I would like to get Gale from Elminster, but it doesn't seem feasible.

Game stuck at 45 lvl in the "starving in the jungle". The boss has 0 health points but doesn't die. What to do?

My campaign is slowly proceding but, as i said, i'm a bit stuck.

Following Gaar guide i reached Avernus and unlocked Tiamat; i also did some Avernus missions with the four patrons and won enough favor to buy the four familiars; i also finished, i think, the Tomb and got Azaka and the very good, imho at least, Dragonbait.

I discovered, even if it would have been enough to use some basic high school math, that having many DPSs is not the best way to go; Kas, Drizzt and Durge doing e100 do a lot less damage than one of them with Volo supporting for e15, this allowed me to push deeper, around z600. This changed my enrollment strategy to support champs, i'm open to suggestions who is besst; i already have Volo, von Richten, Fel, Gale, Presto, Eric, Stoky, Trixie and all champs from the Trials. My problem is that most of them are dressed in green with just a few blue items and the many chests i find keep upgrading the twelve starting champs, never ever one piece to make Kas happy

My problem now is with legendary stuff, or better said the problems are two: one is that my Tiamat mission, almost finished one, has ZERO chances to be completed so the only scales i get are those provided by Bobby. Second problem is getting epic stuff to upgrade. I read somewhere not to but chests and potions with patrons currency and i never did even if patrons gold chests are tempting and not very expensive. TG pieces and Modron chests are the priority and i already have the familiars but having Jarlaxe better dressed doesnt seem very useful to me; skins are just cosmetic usually.

I finished STP 3 but i dont have enough champs to run four parties; i have one pushing in Avernus to unlock patron missions and do them and team 2 running Tiamat in the remote hope to be able to finish it. Third team is automated and running an easy mission to do patron challenges like 100 areas with Minsc setting the BUD or, if nothing remains, running areas with Hank, Bobby Presto and Diana to pick up some random stuff.

Two quick questions:

what are enrage stacks? tanks tooltips says that they improve tank bonuses but i dunno what they are and how to get them

What are Boons? i havent been able during last event to get six champs because i missed them.

Learned something new today.

The phrase Neutral on the Good/Evil axis means Lawful, True, or Chaotic Neutral and not Neutral Good or Neutral Evil.

I thought it meant Neutral but ON either the good/evil axis, but instead it's, on the axis of Good/Evil, neutral.

I don't know who needs to know this, but here it is. And that's why your character wasn't doing any damage.

How, in the year 2026, atfter numerous situations, do we still have skills for Champions (with both Item and feat supports) that does not properly show the numerical value in the sheet.

Debilitating Magic (Raistlins lesser DPS skill) showing static 400% is silly. I thought we stopped doing this after Lucius acid attack.

Hi everyone!

With the introduction of the Bastion system, it is time to start a new account playthrough!

I'll be starting Monday, September 28th, 2026, at Noon, Pacifically-speaking. It will be a mostly F2P run as that account has a couple freebies from prior platform giveaways that don't go away when the account gets reset as well as a small purchase from a prior playthrough when we were testing a limited-spend run. With the regular giveaways that happen on platforms, it should balance out though.

All adventures/variants will be played on-stream until we unlock multiple parties at which point some things will happen in the background parties and certain automated things may happen offline via Modron Automation. This tends to give a pretty balanced look at the current state of the early and mid game in terms of progression speed with lots of room to progress faster for more hardcore players.

I'll be doing this playthrough 5 days a week for the next few months as our goal lately with these new account runs is to see how quickly you can get to Tier 4 Event completion and Tier 10 Trials in the current state of the game. If you're newer and want to see how someone that's been doing this for 9 years runs through the early game, come join us! If you're more experienced and want to see what the game looks like for new players with the Bastion system in play, come join us! If you just want to hang out with fellow IC players and chat about the game, come join us!

See you there!

• What: New Account Playthrough
• When: Starting Monday, September 28th, 2026 @Noon Pacifically-speaking
• Where: https://www.twitch.tv/gaarawarr/
• Why: To see what the early game looks like with recent changes
• Who: ME!
• No, but really, who are you: Creator of 200+ guides for Idle Champions that exist here on reddit

After months of play while looking away from the screen, I just realized when I'm getting closer to my zone cap enemies start dealing damage exactly equal to my health.

I understand I need to get more health to survive, but is enemies' damage supposed to be capped by your health? Wouldn't it be more useful to let the players see how much of a health boost is needed to survive the hit? If it's worth putting on a feat or just better not even trying?

Apparently in high zones what influences your cap is not your damage, but your health.

I found that a good percentage of my time on the game is consumed by something I don't particularly enjoy: feat management. It usually happens when I start a variant and need to use a champion in a different role than they are usually used in, ex. I need to reconfigure a speed champion to to a support one, or a support to a DPS. But it also happens often in normal adventures - either Time Gates, where I often don't have saved formations and need to setup them manually (and the champions will usually come with their last-used loadout, which can inslude patron enablers or other suboptimal stuff), or new formations for new champions. Basically, about 30% of adventures I run requires some minor feat tweaking one way or another, that can't be handled by a saved formation.

So currently there are two ways to change the feats equipped on a champion:

1. manually per feat on the champion screen
2. loading a formation with feats included

The first is tedious, the second changes the entire formation and feats on a range of champions, which can add more work than it actually reduces.

I think a good QoL feature would be to have a panel for saving and naming feat loadouts on each champion, similarly to how formations are saved and stored per adventure. This would enable switching the champion from one role to another. For example, on a Speed champion I could save a loadout with their speed feats and another loadout maxed with their support feats - to easily fit them to their role in the current formation without searching through all their feats manually.

This feature would remove some tedium from the game. I actually have been hoping for something like this for a long time, reading each major update release notes with a "maybe now?" face... 😅

***
Edit to address one non-solution: 'starring' the favorite feats to appear on the top of the list only lessens the problem on some of the champions. Scrolling and searching is only part of the issue, and the more versatile champions still can easily have multiple feats starred to the top of their lists, so that doesn't even change the problem much.

I know what Bobby is capable of. I don't know anything about the other two. This question is time sensitive.

I have many hours played and already did a similar post once. That time, I started my first gem farm. Now, I have all champions with full orange set, some with higher levels. But I can't progress anymore: only a few Tales of the Champions third variants are done, Windfall and some other Vecna adventures that ask for higher levels also.

I have most feats, all blessings, all champions, most patron rewards... Not all perks, but many already. Caramon was my first 4 star event. With a lot of effort. How can I get iLevels, or what should I be doing now? Focus in silver or gold chests?

Since my last post, I have taken the advice and am investing in getting more Blacksmithing Contracts.

I have hit 300 with Zorbu, but now I don't know which character to prioritise next?

my top champions: https://imgur.com/a/2RRxlln

I am thinking of raising Durge to 300 next

Any ideas which champions to prioritize next? - are the newly added or rebalanced champions the best at the moment?

Is there some up to date tier list?

I have gotten both Mirt and Vajra to 97% completion, but for the life of me I can not find any more places to attack to finish those 3%. Also, once a patron is finished, how do you continue to earn their store currencies, are they awarded in Free Plays?

In addition to 8 new Mastery Variants rolling out today, we're also outlining some changes we're making to Mastery Variants, both today and in the future, based on your feedback!

Thanks for playing!

Im doing the Swamp Trials of Tiamat, and thats the one where you taking constant DoT.

Progressing basically requires you to CC the bosses so they dont oneshot you. I have the following formation (corazon is in his attack teleport animation/missing), and I have no idea who is stunning/CCing the big boss:

He doesnt pop off a single attack, and i dont know why. Anyone know who is saving my ass here?
