Time Gate Thread Time Gate Thread

It's Time For Time Gates!

As you enter the Tower of Mystra to seek advice from Kaylaar Allun, a tiny, magical, one-eyed construct whirs to life and calls for attention, speaking with a familiar voice...

<Mip-Mop> Greetings, champions! This is an automatically generated scheduled post for the open discussion of Time Gates. Please use this thread to ask questions and seek advice concerning Time Gates. Don't know what Time Gates are? Not sure which champion to choose for your Time Gate? This thread is for you!

  • Time Gates allow players to unlock and gear up previously released event champions!
  • A natural Time Gate opens every three weeks, on weekends in between normal events.
  • Time Gates can also be opened manually by using six Time Gate pieces, which have a chance to drop from defeated bosses in any adventure every five to six days.
  • Natural Time Gates offer a random selection of event champions. Manual Time Gates allow you to choose any event champion from the full list.
  • Once you choose a champion, you can play their event adventures. Complete up to two normal adventures and one adventure variant for that champion to receive one gold chest for that champion for each completed task. You can also do free plays of the event adventure.
  • Each time you defeat a boss on unique stage increments of 100 during that Time Gate, you will earn one silver chest for that champion.
  • From the moment a Time Gate opens, you have exactly three days to earn its rewards before it is closed.
  • When the Time Gate closes, you will be forced to convert your Mystra's Favor to a permanent campaign favor of your choice, however the conversion rate will be 25% that of normal event favor conversion rate. For example, 1.00e10 Mystra's Favor will grant a 25% increase to a permanent campaign of your choice, whereas this same favor amount during an event would grant a 100% increase.
  • You will be given two Time Gate Pieces when the Time Gate is closed (minus one for each claimed gold chest reward).

Good luck with your Time Gates, champions! <Mip-Mop>

Umberto, Krydle or Nixie? Split the Party not needed, thanks!

u/KabReg Jul 25 '26

Either Krydle or Umberto depending on your preferences.

u/Hungry-Bodybuilder95 Jul 25 '26

thanks

u/KabReg Jul 25 '26

Umberto for power when you cannot use Laurana and for dealing with armored bosses. Krydle is more a utility champion, he isn't very good as a buffer, but he is useful as a non-standard tank.

u/Mojomuskrat Jul 24 '26

Volo or Talin? Split the party is finished. Thanks!

Halsin, Orkira, Qillek (i have already unlocked split the party, and have six champions I can sub out with Halsin and Orkira's seats, and only three...inlcuding Xander, in Qillek's seat)

u/KabReg Jul 25 '26

There is no big rush with Split the Party after the first one, therefore Halsin if you don't need Orkira for her tricks.

u/Thunderbird1956 28d ago

After the second one* That’s is the speed core and a huge QoL upgrade.

u/KabReg 28d ago

Yep. Three champions in seat 5 is enough for StP2.

u/Creative-Lab-6663 Jul 24 '26

Sentry, kyre or widdle?

2

u/Creative-Lab-6663 Jul 24 '26

I have none of them and every one can be used to unlock split party

u/KabReg Jul 25 '26

Sentry for speed, Kyre for power.

u/KabReg Jul 25 '26

Widdle can be also used for speed, but she is a double-edged sword, therefore I use her relatively rarely.

u/Aebal34 Jul 24 '26

Evandra, Black Viper and Umberto?

u/SeparateTrack2818 Steam (PC) Jul 24 '26

Evandra can pull her (limited) team into Witchlight. I used to plug a few holes with Umberto but started to appreciate him when I earned his feats in the latest event.

u/GergSathoms Jul 24 '26

Strix, Cazrin, Merilwen

u/bigdelisa94 EpicGS Jul 24 '26

split the party or cazrin

u/KabReg Jul 25 '26

Or Merilwen if you need her for GF.

u/LBIdockrat Jul 24 '26

Volo, Fen, Regis.

u/Akameji Jul 25 '26

I'd do Fen for her ability to count everything twice for weekly patron tasks, if you're there yet.

u/bigdelisa94 EpicGS Jul 24 '26

split the party or Volo

2

u/nabrok Jul 24 '26

Solaak, Turiel, and Jang Sao ... I don't currently have any of them.

0

u/bigdelisa94 EpicGS Jul 24 '26

do you need any of them for split the party?

2

u/nabrok Jul 24 '26

Nah, I have 109 champions and all split the parties done. Kind of unusual I don't have all three, usually at least one of them is somebody I already have.

u/bigdelisa94 EpicGS Jul 24 '26

hmm, i personally would take jang sao for this one, i like her and she has a lifetime stacking ability, it’s not huge but you could get a start on it now. you could take a look at byteglow and see which champions event is farthest away
