How to unlock the Band of Champions achievement in Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms - Definitive Guide
you can also unlock event champions through Time Gates, which open for 72 hours, every three weeks (during the off-event week). you are offered 3 champions to unlock or earn gear for and there is a guarantee to have at least one you have not yet unlocked.
this works out to about 3 champs every month. locked champions are available for purchase with cash in the store if as well.
If you're wondering how I got this specific achievement, yes, I spent money to get the remaining champions needed. But I can assure you that my tracker went up from the champion I received from the newsletter chest prior to blowing a bunch of money due to impatience on my part.
Every few weeks there is a new event starting, each has 3 champions to unlock, and the further you get into the game the easier they become, so unless you concentrate on them, you might miss some... Just be aware that it can be confusing for new players as it shows them as Year 1, 2 & 3, so make sure you work to unlock each one - you only have to get to area 50, and it gives the option to end it as soon as you get to area 51.
Once you've been playing a while, you'll end up with a base money increase on some areas, plus having a familiar makes this a breeze - once you have both, start pumping levels into the click damage, you can pick up the heroes for the sake of it, but they're not necessary. Generally you'll get to about area 60-70 before you have to have the heroes, so 50 is easier to hit.
As soon as you get 1, move down to the next one, if you're going well each should take about 20-30 minutes - but, once you have all 3 you have to wait for the next event, which is several weeks away. Just as an example about the difficulty, this took me 4 months to get as I thought I could only get 1 per event at the start.
Be patient, and as soon as the new event opens, grab your new champions, and away you go!
Note that new champions only replace existing ones, some have better features, and it depends on your party setup, but you might end up playing with different ones to get the best party for you for longer runs (higher areas). Also, getting the right gear can help a champions become MUCH stronger, so it might be advantageous to use older champions as they're better equipped...
There are events that happen every couple weeks. In the events, you have an opportunity to unlock new champions. Most of the time there will be 3 different events and they'll yield 3 new champions. They are always pretty easy for the first couple levels. The first one will always be the one that will unlock the champion. Most of the time it is just beating level 50.
There are also Time Gate Pieces that randomly drop during levels. Once you collect 6 of them, you can open a Time Gate. These Time Gates will also allow you to unlock a champion as well. Same principal applies here as well. You will need to beat level 50 to unlock the champion.
During the week of break between events, the time gate opens. This gate can be opened and I use gate fragments at any time, you need 6 fragments. Fragments drop from bosses with a low chance and have a delay between drops. During such an event, you can choose one of three champions, one will always be the one you don’t have yet. The champion will also become yours after completing level 50 in the event.
It is worth noting that in many events at level 50 there are quite difficult bosses that require special tactics - simply “calling out” them like everyone else will not work.
Based on everything written above, you can receive on average from 3 to 4 heroes per month, so to receive this prize you will need 2-3 months. The receiving process can be speeded up if you subscribe to the developer’s newsletter, available from the game menu, for which event heroes are periodically sent out for free. And of course, you can buy many heroes in the store for real money.
