Newbie Time Gate opening (first 6 pieces)

[Vyuskan]

Now that the free Time Gate is over, I'd like to use my pieces to open a Time Gate of my own, here is where I am.

I'm super new (less than 150 hours), haven't gotten any of the champions from the campaigns yet. I got Freely from the free Time Gate (picked Freely over Donaar & Regis) and before that I managed to get Grim & Beadle (missing an item in slot 4) & Shandie (blues and greens + 1 epic).

During the free Time Gate I slammed into a wall at 199, couldn't get passed it and I think the farthest I got during a campaign free play was 215.

I did some searching around and it sounds like my best options are Krull or Deekin? I'm not totally sure as everyone's rosters were different, but that's the impression I got.

Any suggestions are welcome and I appreciate the help!

Then Deekin should boost your damage (when Deekin has 20 stacks).
Do note, Deekin has to be next to your dps for him to boost the damage.

So generally slot 1 is better to be Deekin and not Bruenor?

[Coo Coo Pigeon]

Generally yes, but not always.
My Deekin is nothing special (ilvl 40ish) with Bruenor being hundreds and hundres higher (and all epic). For me, the difference is about e01-e02 damage in specific situations.
There's moments where I switch Bruenor in (over Deekin) for extra DPS. But that really depends on what champions are available and what I'm fighting.

I always start off with Deekin in slot 1 if he's available, just so I can go toward my wall at triple speed. (level 90 skill + spec)
Since I'm a speedwh**e I only swap Bruenor back in to push 1-2 final levels if needed or when I'm farming gold for favor. (Azaka farm).

i understand now. I am also speedwhore who is impatient. I just finished a 4 day run and decided to start playing 2 favor god to unlock the permanent bonuses.

I guess i should open a Time Gate to get some chests for Deekin because he is missing one item slot.

Got a follow up question:
Is it better to get champions unlocked rather than level up one champion in TG?

I guess its based on preference and who the champ is.

But i guess im not at that point where event champions can overtake yet.

Naked event champions tend to be better than ilevel 200+ evergreens. In the right context, of course

@OldGamer: my vote is unlock all that makes sense to. There's always some special challenge that could need them to clear it

You're new, take the loss of the 1 item and focus on one of the other powerful champions in the timegate.
More worth for your pieces that way.

Depends on the champion.
Anything you will unlock in next few event i'd not unlock via timegates while pieces are scares.

If you're missing year 1 champions, like Deekin, I'd grab them via a timegate.
Make sure to take a look at which champions unlock via Patron currency, don't waste your timegate pieces on them.
I'd unlock 'm all over leveling specifics up, just to be able to do all variants.
