Champion Affixes are some of the most powerful and unique modifiers in Last Epoch. While regular affixes can be crafted, modified, or sealed, Champion Affixes are permanently bonded with gears that drop from Champion enemies in the game. Since the affixes on the gears can’t be altered, acquiring the right option for your build can be extremely rewarding.
Every single Champion Affix can add unique effects to your character, from changing damage type to increasing the total number of summoned creatures you can have. This guide will break down every Champion Affix and how to acquire them in Last Epoch.
What are Champion Affixes, and how do you get them in Last Epoch?

There are 14 Champion Affixes available in the game, each dropping from Champions. These are a subclass of the usual rare enemies in Last Epoch, which can be recognized by their orange aura and their proper name. Each of these enemies drops a Champion Affix once defeated.

Acquiring the right prefix from Champions is a highly challenging task, but it can also be extremely rewarding for players looking to get a little more edge in their builds. The best way to farm Champions is using the Pillar of Skills Woven Echo and the Weaver Tree (a passive tree that influences the Echos within the Monolith of Fate).
