go for Split the Party 1 and later 2 (so try to get a second and then third champ for each slot)
go for speed champs, and generally powerful champs (this is useful: https://www.reddit.com/r/idlechampions/comments/oof9xf/champion_tier_rankings_by_slot_july_2021/ )

And I dunno if the chart is meant to be read this way, but I can't picture getting Evergreen set #3 that soon, before you've dipped your toes into grinding out patron variants. I'm still missing the newest Evergreen character and I'd long since moved to completing patron variants by the time I got Raya.
But that also depends on how active you are, if you play all day and night you will want speed more than power. If you're more offline, you will want more power than speed.
For general names as I don't know whom you have in your roster.
Speed = Widdle, Deekin, Shandie, Hew, Briv, Sentry etc.
Power = Krull, Avren, Freely, Orkira, Zorbu etc...
But as Tyrendian89 said, you also want to look at what slot they are in for Split the Party 1 & 2. And if the trend continues you want to aim for four a piece in each slot. However, I don't think they are planning this year to expand the multi-parties system.
Black Viper's niche for gem farming can be overtaken by other multi-hitters that have a wider usage like Yorven, Farideh, Orisha, Ulkoria, or Asharra. The fact that Widdle will be part of most gem farms means that the slower attacking champions like Ulkoria or Asharra won't matter as they have their speeds equalized with someone like Shandie.
Artemis is one of the 4 main damage champions, but using him as the main DPS is a late-game tactic due to the roster and item level requirements needed to push him ahead of other damage dealers. I understand he probably should go in the Alternate Power section strictly for Orkira stacking purposes, but I made the decision to have the chart make a beeline to Split the Party #2. Omin and Gromma are more important for general power than Artemis under that constraint.
No disagreement that Shandie is awesome. She would be either the 6th, 7th, or 8th timegate chosen as per the chart. The combined push power gained by Omin/Baeloth/Avren is about +e35 (115 zones), which I feel is more important than +50% speed. Hew Maan can net close to x2 quest reward drops ungeared, which should be faster than Shandie's +50% speed. Getting +100% or higher spawn speed from Widdle is likely similar enough to Shandie's speed, but you can still use Widdle with Asharra, thus why I chose Widdle. Using Widdle to lower Asharra's attack speed is another form of speed gain, being early players do not have a vast array of firebreathing potions on-hand.
That one is a shortcoming of the chart. Once you hit Split the Party #2 you lose your dependence on needing to get Evergreen champions to qualify for future Split the Party situations (as there are currently none beyond Split the Party #2). The chart only points one direction, down, but in reality Reya and Xerophon are side priorities that you can try for in parallel with the other champions. Reya should actually be doable by the time you hit that point in the chart (Asharra short-folk bond with Regis, Hew Maan, and Freely, adding Warden for sticky debuffs on bosses after zone 610+). Xerophon on the other hand is someone you tackle once you have a level 10+ Modest Core/Level 13+ Fast Core and some other forms of power in your toolkit. This may change and become easier once the softcap is raised, but we aren't there yet. Anyhow, being those 2 Evergreen champions are effectively freefloating entities, I placed them at the earliest point I thought they were possible, even if they are not entirely feasible by that point by the populous.
Mehen will soon gain a specialization that allows him to bring in Farideh and Havilar to variants they do not qualify for naturally. This will allow Mehen to pull in Farideh, which gives an option that is superior to Jamilah or Arkhan for Might Makes Right (Zariel).
Artemis does not have to be ahead of other main DPS to become usable, just on par with them. Roster requirements for that are pretty steep, but that cannot be said about ilvl requirements. In my case, with mean ilvl 50, he became approximately equal to Asharra with ilvl 500.
Artemis is another one where my viewpoint could be skewed by my experience compared to others. My prime concern in the past couple months has been tackling patron variants, which tends to restrict some of Artemis' options by knocking out a sizable chunk of the roster. There have been a few patron variants where Artemis has been my go-to, but the majority have remained Asharra/Krond/Zorbu or some second-string DPS like Farideh. I won't disagree with Artemis being awesome, as he is, but I haven't seen him as a requirement to progress through the majority of the game as the DPS character.
OG can educate you!
BV is basically an "all in one" champion - she just doesn't do anything "great".
Like rogues? she's your DPS.
Like collecting stuff? she's your robber.
Like killing armoured bosses? she's your rogue.
Like attacking faster? She's your support.
She can also as Kab said affect champs around her.
Basically, she has a wrap sheet for a really good champion and this is why I hope for her re work soon. (collect your gems now)
Uf if you are going for let's say a slow debuff application formation then indeed BV can get you to a 1s CD very easily.
