Champions have 20% chance of being selected when a random Champion or Unique pack spawns. They can also spawn from Evil Urns in Act 5 and Monster [[Shrine]]s throughout the game, and in some set locations:
*[[Tristram (Act 1)|Tristram]]
*[[Crystalline Passage]] (guarding entrance to [[Frozen River]])
*[[Glacial Trail]] (guarding entrance to Drifter Cavern)
*[[Drifter Cavern]]
*[[Halls of Vaught]] (end of hall)
*[[Frozen Tundra]] (guarding entrance to Ancients' Way)
*[[Ancients' Way]] (guarding entrance to Icy Cellar)
*[[Icy Cellar]] [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/118104-monster-bonuses-death-damage-and-corpse-explosion/&do=findComment&comment=1495241]
|}

*They spawn in groups of 2-4: all but one are always Champion, with the remaining having an equal chance of being Champion, Berserker, Fanatic, Ghostly or Possessed.

*If the following spawn as Champions, any minions receive the life and level bonuses of Unique minions:
**[[Fallen]]
**[[Fallen Shaman]]
**[[Scarab Demon]]
**[[Fetish]]
**[[Blow Pipe Fetish]]
**[[Fetish Shaman]]
**[[Siege Beast]]
**[[Overseer]]
*For all Champion types except Berserkers, level is normally monster level +2: this level is used for [[Attack#Chance to hit|chance to hit]], [[Aura Enchanted|aura]] and [[Cursed|curse]] level calculation, selecting relevant [[MonLvl]] values to calculate base [[MonLvl#Attack rating|attack rating]] and [[MonLvl#Damage|damage]] of all types, and the clvl/mlvl modifier applied to [[experience]] when clvl < mlvl; base level continues to be used to calculate base [[MonLvl#Defense rating|defense]], [[MonLvl#Life|life]] and [[MonLvl#Experience|experience]].

*[[Ignore Target's Defense]] does not apply but -% [[Target Defense]] from items is 100% effective.
*[[Freeze length]] chills instead; only minions can be frozen.
*[[Stun length]] only has 10% chance of being applied, but suffers no other penalty.
*Effects [[altering AI]] cannot be applied directly.
*+[[% Damage]] from Champion bonuses is halved then rounded down when applied to [[Willowisp]] Champion melee physical damage due to a now undocumented change in [[1.13a|1.13]].

*[[Damage Resist]] is set to 80%. {{Warn|=This even applies to [[Immune to Physical]] monsters: although Immune to Physical will still be displayed, physical damage will harm them, and DR -% applied by [[Decrepify]] and [[Amplify Damage]] will still be 100% effective, not 20%.}} [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/112167-which-elements-are-most-resisted-in-hell/&do=findComment&comment=1408483] [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/118104-monster-bonuses-death-damage-and-corpse-explosion/&do=findComment&comment=1495241]
