Idle Champions of The Forgotten Realms is a fun, free-to-play game that every Dungeons and Dragons player should try. As the name suggests, it is an idle game with strategy elements and is easy to pick up but has enough challenges to keep players coming back for more. With many aspects in common with its tabletop counterpart, Idle Champions should prove popular with D&D players.
Idle Champions is based in the lore-filled D&D world of the Forgotten Realms and features characters from D&D lore, games, and even community streams. A player gathers these champions to tackle the many different campaigns available. The more adventures a player completes, the more favor they collect and the easier subsequent adventures become. It's a classic idle game setup with the addition of familiar D&D mechanics and faces.
Being free-to-play means that even if a D&D fan is simply curious about trying the game out, it's easy to get started for nothing. Idle Champions has a good, easy-to-follow tutorial that walks new players through the basics of how the game works. Knowing the basics lets new players jump straight into playing and start building a team with minimal investment in time and energy.
Idle Champions Easy Formation Building
The key to building a good formation is to choose one champion as the DPS and build the rest of the formation around that. Tanking, healing, and D&D characters should all buff and otherwise aid the DPS. Figuring out how best to place the DPS depends on the campaign being played at the time, as each formation layout presents its own unique challenges, which is one of the various ways it brings an authentic D&D flare to the proceedings. Asharra, an aarakocra wizard in slot six (already available to new players) is an excellent choice for DPS.
Filing out the champion roster is also part of the fun of Idle Champions, as each champion has a mini-adventure and variants linked to the event they are available through. Idle Champions benefits from being truly free-to-play, as although players can buy champions with money as opposed to earning them through an event, there is no particular advantage to doing so. Events run roughly every three weeks, which gives D&D players many fun opportunities to earn three champions each time throughout the year.
Idle Champions is a fun, addictive game for fans of both Dungeons & Dragons and strategy management games. There are plenty of excellent community guides available for new players to Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms to help with formation builds and guides for more complex variants. Once a player has grasped the basics, then it is easy to build upon that and soon create original formations to battle through the various campaigns.
