*SLOT 1* Deekin: 15:10 **Pretty good.** Speeds up enemy spawn rates when enemies are being killed quickly. Has a speed spec. (for now) *SLOT 2* Widdle: 21:35 **Decent.** Increases enemy spawn speed when surrounded by more champions. Scales off 'Widdle's Tasty Friends' ability and item. Has 2 speed feats. *SLOT 3* Nahara: 26:00 **Decent.** Lowers quest item requirement by quite a bit. Has a speed spec. *SLOT 4* Sentry: 30:30 **Meh.** Lowers quest item requirement. *SLOT 5* Xander: 34:30 **He is pretty awful.** Speeds up quest progression but is hard to trigger. Briv: 39:40 **Probably the best.** Build up Steelbones stacks which get converted to sprint stacks at the end of an adventure. Consume speed stacks on next adventure to skip levels. Scales off 'unnatural haste' and item to skip more areas at a time. Has a speed spec. *SLOT 6* Fen: 6:45 **Speed by technicality.** Speeds up patron challenge progress. Has 'speed' feats. Shandie: 46:15 **Great from the get go.** Everything moves faster (like a speed potion) when party is not being attacked. *SLOT 7* Minsc: 49:55 **Not great but evergreen.** Slightly increases enemy spawn rates. *SLOT 8* Tatyana: 51:20 **Not better than Hew Maan.** IF 15 seconds have elapsed, and area has no barriers or boss, she spawns a big wave of enemies. Useful situationally. Especially if you are more focused on killing a certain number of enemies. Hew Maan: 54:23 **Second best.** Increases quest requirement progression. If placed in front columns (depends on area layout). Scales off 'carefully balanced' ability and item. Has a mini shandie feat.

Kill fiends for double quest progression. Stacks with Hew Maan. Virgil: 1:02:25 **Pretty good.** If you kill enemies within 2 seconds of them spawning, double quest progress. Scales with 'Rapid Fire' ability and team comp. Has a speed feat. *SLOT 12* Vi: 1:04:35 **Not Great.** Shortens delay between enemy waves but tends not to trigger. Melf: 1:09:05 **Great with high levels.** Buffs speed in different ways which changes every 50 areas. Scales off 'speed supplement' ability. Has a speed spec and item. (for now) *Honourable Mentions* Familiars: 20:10 3 familiars: Picks up gold and quest items instantly. 5 familiars: Picks up boss gems instantly. Speed Core: 1:14:25 Modron core that buffs speed. Whadaya know. *When to get who* 1. Get Briv first. He is a great tank, healer and speed champ. Although not the best speed buff to start. Dump smithing contracts. 2. Get Hew Maan. Great right off the gate and improves with item levels. 3. Shandie, Deekin, Nahara. (in order) Speed without requiring lots of item levels. 4. Widdle, Sentry, Melf. Needs item levels.

I cant even count the number of times I paused the video trying to click on thangs.... lmao EDIT: you didnt mention BBEG? or is that champ newer than the vid?
