- Skull Sworn
- Templar
- Hound Spawn
You might wonder what is the difference between my Best Rares vs. Honorable mention's.
Well the answer is Combo.
The Best Rares are the best individually for what they do.
The Honorable Mention Rares can only be best if you have the right Combo with them.
Example:
Skull Sworn isn't a great hero by himself, BUT their is another hero who is Legendary that can Combo with him.
Skull Lord Var-Gall is Leggo
Skull Sworn is Rare which is more like the baby.
Together they can be very fun combo.
Obviously, if you don't own Skull Lord Var-Gall, you miss out on the fun/awesomeness.
This is why I put Skull sworn as honorable mention vs. one of the best.
I've been trying to get graybeard for a while now and haven't gotten it. Then again i am on normal mode and can't unlock hard but still. I am new to this and need tactics
Early on these are the key few:
Spirithost (some arena/dungeon applications due to increase attack A2 and ally speed aura)
Warmaiden (defense down on a 3 turn cooldown when booked)
Greybeard is OK due to his crowd control A2.
The reason why it's important to focus on just a few of these is you will be putting energy into trying to get these champions, then needing to invest in them (usually Spirithost to 40, Warmaiden to ~50 is a good play, if you go with them), and farm copies of them as books from Campaign. This takes time and energy, thus we need to be very focused on which ones we're actually looking to get, and invest in.
While it's fun to have a list of champions that have some - often limited - applications, it's not very practical for an account looking to build out mostly 60s (specifically your starter who will be your campaign farmer), and wanting to do so efficiently.
As for odds/RNG of finding champions in specific campaign content, you can find that in this thread:
Id stick with 9-3 for warmaiden , 12-3 for exp and forget campaign rares for the moment .
You'll be getting them eventually for sure , since you still have to redo the entire campaign 3 times , farm some missions that will require X stage from X level and then running them again for stars . And by that time you will know which of these you actually want/need !

For me actually using a champ is the best way to know their value for you. I get a lot of great advice from this forum but I often do not understand it until I actually put into action.
If you have a chance use Kael as your farmer. He has lasting value. Apo is another rare with lasting value.
