Bio: As a poor urchin on the streets of Calimport, Regis quickly learned that survival often requires bending the rules in your favor. He fled to the north to avoid capture after stealing his former master’s magical ruby pendant. Eventually, he found companionship amongst the Companions of the Hall, becoming one of Bruenor Battlehammer’s most trusted confidants. Bruenor was the one who gifted Regis with the nickname “Rumblebelly” due to the halfling’s insatiable appetite.
Regis would prefer nothing more than to relax in the sun with a full belly near his home in Ten-Towns and fish for knucklehead trout, the source of all of his scrimshaw carvings. But when his friends need help, Regis is always there for them. He never sees himself as the hero, even though his true friends know better.
Basic Attack: Reluctant Stab - Regis reluctantly stabs the nearest enemy with his dagger.
-
Base Attack Type: Melee
-
Base Attack Speed: 3.8 seconds
-
Base Critical Hit Chance: 20% - Supported by a Feat
-
Base Critical Hit Damage: 100%
-
Self-DPS Buff: 1.81e25%
Ultimate: Ruby Brilliance - Regis holds his ruby pendant up, damaging all enemies and stunning them for 5 seconds. Additionally, the effect of Ruby Encouragement is increased by 200% for 15 seconds.
- Base Ultimate Cooldown Time: 300 seconds
##Passive Abilities
Critical Hit: Regis' base chance to Critical Hit is 20%
##Interesting Abilities
Bounty of the Hall: Your formation gains 1 Mithral Hall stack. Regis increases your gold find bonus by 100% for each Mithral Hall stack you have, stacking multiplicatively.
- No upgrades; Supported by Feats
Gaar's Note: This is Regis' gold find ability and is now the source of gold for the Companions.
Ruby Healing: When Regis scores a Critical Hit, his Ruby Pendant pulses and heals all Champions in the formation for 10 for each Mithral Hall stack the formation has.
- 5,826 after upgrades; Supported by an Item & Feats
Gaar's Note: The more you crit, the more you heal. It's that easy.
Ruby Amplification: Increases the effect of Ruby Encouragement by 500% when Regis scores a Critical Hit. This effect can stack up to 15 times (multiplicatively). Stacks reset when changing areas.
- 3.00e15% at 15 stacks after upgrades; Supported by an Item
Gaar's Note: This is their core buff and it's solid once it ramps up. Their next ability helps them crit when your formation is under attack, so you'll stack this up to max one way or another.
Ruby Invigoration: Whenever a Champion in the formation is critically hit by an enemy, Regis stores up one charge of Ruby Invigoration. While he has at least one charge, his chance to Critical Hit is increased by 250% and whenever he scores a Critical Hit a charge is consumed. He can store up to 5 charges.

#Formation & Mission Information
In a Time Gate, you will be given two basic adventures and one variant to complete, along with being granted access to Free Plays. They all use a formation that holds 10 Champions. They have a Champ-specific format that I've done my best to re-create below.
| Back Row | Third Row | Second Row | Front Row |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | ||
| 0 | 0 | ||
| 0 | 0 | ||
| 0 | 0 | ||
| 0 | 0 |
New Player Formation & Specializations:
While I recommend learning to build your own formations, here's a set of starter formations for brand new players to use while they get the hang of things. Anyone with other options should check that link for how to figure out how to make the best of them. You can also ask for help in the #formations channel in the official Discord.
| Back Row | Third Row | Second Row | Front Row |
|---|---|---|---|
| Celeste - Life Domain | NA | ||
| Minsc - Undead | Jarlaxle - Leader of Bregan D'aerthe | ||
| Calliope - College of Valor | Nayeli - Oath of Devotion | ||
| Hitch - Charismatic | Bruenor - Battle Master | ||
| Asharra - Dwarves & Elves | NA |
This formation is for the first couple of runs where you're just not going to get enough Gold to get everyone on the field, let alone level people up into their power curves. At this point, Jarlaxle is focusing on being your Primary DPS while everyone else is set up to support him.
The following formation is for once your Hitch starts doing more damage than your Jarlaxle. You can find this out by pulling Asharra out of the formation and swapping Jarlaxle and Hitch around to see whose damage is better. If Hitch is higher, next run change Asharra's Spec to buff Hitch instead.
| Back Row | Third Row | Second Row | Front Row |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minsc - Undead | Makos - Dark Blessing | ||
| Jarlaxle - Leader of Bregan D'aerthe | Bruenor - Battle Master | ||
| Calliope - College of Valor | Nayeli - Oath of Devotion | ||
| Asharra - (Swap) | Hitch - Charismatic | ||
| Celeste - Life Domain | Tyril - Wild Shape |
This formation should get you through the Time Gate as a new player. If you have other options or think a different DPS is geared better, try it out and see what happens! Swapping DPS around like this can help you figure out what works best for you with your specific items.
These are the rough Favor values you need to reach to make a Variant say Difficulty: Easy. Keep in mind that this is just a generic rating system and some Variants may be harder than others, even with Favor in this range.
| Variant | Favor Level (Normal) | Favor Level (Scientific Notation) |
|---|---|---|
| 75 | 20,000 | ~2e04 |
| 125 | 15,000,000 | ~1.5e07 |
| 175 | 150,000,000 | ~1.5e08 |
##Initial Mission: Deadwinter Day
Complete: Area 50
Reward: Regis + Gold Regis Chest & whatever Mystra's Favor you earned
Info: No restrictions.
##Second Mission: Deadwinter Day
Complete: Area 75
Reward: Gold Regis Chest & whatever Mystra's Favor you earned
Info: No restrictions.
The area goals go up by 50 each time you select a specific Champion's Time Gate and then go down by 25 each time you select someone else's. This encourages you to do Time Gates for different Champions, potentially in a rotation, rather than just grinding the same Champion's Time Gate over and over.
Once you've done the first two missions, you then have to complete the variant the Time Gate gave you. If you've never done any of them, you'll get one at random. If you've done one, you'll get one of the other two you haven't done before. If you've done two of them before, you're guaranteed to get the one you haven't done. If you've done all three before, you get one at random.
##First Variant Option: Deadwinter Date
Complete: Area 75
Reward: Gold Regis Chest & whatever Mystra's Favor you earned
Info: You've been tasked with escorting two young Harpell wards on a date during your adventure. They take up slots and are otherwise pretty useless. (Gaar's comment: Much like the Harpells in general.)
Gaar's Notes: You're down two slots but only need to get to level 75, so this is pretty straightforward. Make sure you have at least e02 Favore more than shown in the chart above.
##Second Variant Option: Deadwinter Fey
Complete: Area 125
Reward: Gold Regis Chest & whatever Mystra's Favor you earned
Info: A large number of sprites and pixies spawn with each wave of enemies (not during boss areas). These extra monsters do not drop gold, and when killed they sprinkle a random Champion with pixie dust. Any champion that is sprinkled with 10 Pixie dust has their DPS and Formation Abilities disabled. Pixie dust stacks reset when you change areas.
Gaar's Notes: This one requires you being a bit more active to reset auto-progress if you end up with a bad disable.
##Third Variant Option: Deadwinter Pay(-back)
Complete: Area 175
Reward: Gold Regis Chest & whatever Mystra's Favor you earned
Info: Every time you defeat an enemy (in a non-boss area) your Champions take 10% unavoidable damage. Champions adjacent to Regis take one third of that damage while Regis himself is immune.
Gaar's Notes: Bring Regis in ASAP and put everyone around him for his damage reduction. Level Regis up whenever you can and level Calliope up each time you can hit a Shield upgrade as they come in handy here, as does her Ultimate. If you're working on healing or shielding Achievements, this variant can help you farm those up.
##Free Play
Complete: Area 50
Reward: Whatever Mystra's Favor you earned
Info: No restrictions.
