Havilar's twin sister Farideh has always been 'the smart one' and 'the responsible one'—but that's all right, Havilar is definitely 'the tough one,' 'the funny one' and the 'pretty one' (despite being identical twins). Plus, Havilar has a hellhound! Even if it means she's a sort-of-but-not-quite Chosen of Asmodeus, too, not that anyone asked Havi about that. But he should know her glaive is as good as her right hand, and she can slice a devil just as well as an orc, a zombie, or any other villain!

Havilar has received a major rework with a focus on simplifying her design and increasing synergy with Farideh and Mehen.

Read on to learn everything you need to know about the Havilar Champion Update coming on November 12th!

Havilar

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Glaive Thrust (melee) - Havilar cleaves the closest enemy with her Glaive, hitting all nearby enemies.

Formation Abilities

• Leadership Summit - Havilar increases the damage of all Champions in the 2 columns behind her by 400%.
• Fiendish Resolve - When any Fiend enemies are on-screen, Havilar focuses less on her own attacks and more on buffing her party. Her base attack cooldown is doubled, but the effect of Leadership Summit is increased by 100% for each Fiend that has appeared in the current area, stacking multiplicatively and capping at 25. Fiend bosses count 15 times.
• Mot - Havilar gains Mot as her first Imp companion. Havilar's Imps attack random enemies with Fire of Asmodeus every 4.3 seconds. Mot increases the effect of Leadership Summit by 100% for each Tiefling Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
• Fire of Asmodeus: Each summoned Imp attacks a random enemy with a fireball, dealing a large amount of area damage.
• Infernal Fortitude - Havilar increases the health of all other Champions by 25% of her max health, and healing effects on all Champions are increased by 25%.
• Battlemaster - Champions affected by Havilar's Leadership Summit gain the Control role (if they didn't already have it) and have a 25% chance for enemies they attack to go berserk for 8 seconds. Berserked enemies move 50% faster, attack twice as often, but deal 90% less damage.
• Sister, Sister - Increase the effect of Leadership Summit by 500% when Farideh is in the formation. Additionally, whenever Farideh's Hellish Rebuke is triggered, Havilar heals for up to 2.5% of her maximum health. This can trigger at most 400 times in a single area.
• Speed Demon - Fiend enemies have a 50% chance of dropping two quest items or counting for two kills when killed.

Specializations

• Dembo - Havilar gains Dembo as an Imp companion. Dembo increases the effect of Leadership Summit by 200% and if Mehen is in the formation, he gains 2 additional Grumpy stacks (he doesn't like Dembo).
• Olla - Havilar gains Olla as an Imp companion. Olla increases the effect of Leadership Summit by 10% for each unique enemy Havilar has tanked in the current area, stacking multiplicatively and capping at 100. Additionally, when Havilar or either of her Imps attacks an enemy, the enemy is taunted to attack Havilar.
• Bosh - Havilar gains Bosh as an Imp companion. Bosh increases the effect of Leadership Summit by 50% for each enemy or boss enrage stack active, stacking multiplicatively up to 100 stacks, and also increases Havilar's maximum health by 50%.

Ultimate Ability

• Heroic Sacrifice (magic) - An imp flings itself at a random enemy and explodes in a large area, dealing ultimate damage and granting a bonus to its buff. The imp is resummoned a short time later.

The party descends into an infamous crypt filled with the tombs of local heroes to pay homage to their deeds during the Feast of the Moon. Unfortunately, the dead are restless, rising from their slumber as undead and gathering deep in the crypt for some unknown nefarious purpose...

Fight your way through the risen heroes of yore as your party descends into the dark depths of The Crypt of Legends. Seek out whatever is responsible for this undead uprising, and put an end to it for good!

Feast of the Moon has returned, and with it, a new Evil Magic-User Champion in the form of Skylla the Warlock, whom you may remember from the League of Malevolence and the Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign!

The second Featured Champion for Feast of the Moon 9 is Havilar, the Battlemaster Fighter and twin sister of Farideh. Players will be able to learn more about the Havilar Champion Update when the blog goes live on Thursday, November 6.

The evil magic user Skylla borrows her terrible power from none other than the infamous Arch-hag and Mother of Witches, Baba Yaga. An ally of convenience, Skylla lives only for the pursuit of power and acclaim, seeing even her fellow members of the League of Malevolence as tools to be used and discarded when it suits her needs. Skylla confounds her foes with magical trickery, wielding the unpredictable chaos of the Feywild to hypnotize and incapacitate those who stand between her and her goals.

Skylla is a Support and Debuff Champion who channels the power of Baba Yaga to empower the allies in front of her. She debuffs enemies with Faerie Fire, with her power growing stronger as these marked foes fall. For a unique twist, she has a specialization that switches her allies' ability scores around.

To learn about our latest warlock, read on...

Skylla

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Eldritch Staff (melee/magic) - Skylla attacks a random enemy with her staff for 1 hit, and zaps another random enemy for 1 hit.

Formation Abilities

• Whispers of Baba Yaga - Skylla increases the damage of all Champions in the column in front of her by 400% for each Champion affected by this ability, stacking multiplicatively.
• Faerie Fire - When Skylla attacks an enemy but doesn't defeat it, she casts Faerie Fire on it. Champions deal 200% additional damage to enemies affected by Faerie Fire.
• Fae's Flicker - Whenever an enemy that is debuffed by Faerie Fire is defeated, Skylla gains a Shimmer stack. Skylla increases the effect of Whispers of Baba Yaga by 100% for each Shimmer stack she has, stacking additively. Shimmer stacks persist for the entire adventure and reset when you complete it.

Specializations A

• Witch's Switch - Other Champions in the party have their ability scores switched: STR with CHA, DEX with INT, and CON with WIS. The effect of Whispers of Baba Yaga is increased by 100% each time the difference between the switched scores is 5 or more, stacking multiplicatively.
• League of Malevolence - Skylla increases the effect of Whispers of Baba Yaga by 100% for each evil Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
• Withering Ward - Increases the effect of Whispers of Baba Yaga by 33% for each debuff that has been applied to an enemy in the current area, stacking multiplicatively and capping at 50.

Specializations B

• Green Fire - Skylla's Faerie Fire remains green, but increases the effect of the debuff by 100%.
• Blue Fire - Skylla's Faerie Fire turns blue. Champions attacking enemies affected by Faerie Fire have a 40% additional chance to deal a critical hit.
• Violet Fire - Skylla gains the Breaker role and her Faerie Fire turns violet. Enemies affected by Faerie Fire lose an additional armor or segmented health piece when they are attacked and at least 1 segment was broken.

Ultimate Attack

• Hypnotic Pattern (magic) - Skylla creates a twisting pattern of colors above the enemies for 15 seconds. All enemies take 5 seconds of BUD-based damage when hit by any Champion for the duration. Additionally, all enemies, including any that spawn, are Stunned for the duration or until they take damage, whichever is shorter.

Abandoned as an infant and adopted by an outcast dragonborn warrior, Farideh grew up to adulthood acutely aware of the drawbacks of being a tiefling. While those from the Nine Hells do their utmost to corrupt her, Farideh isn't interested in power so much as defending the world from demons, the undead, and any other villains trying to bring trouble or drag her friends and family into danger.

Farideh has received a devilish update. Her Hellish Rebuke ability now triggers when any Champion in the formation receives damage, while Chosen of Asmodeus has been reworked entirely. Learn all about the changes below...

Farideh

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Scorching Ray (magic) - Farideh creates 3 rays of fire and hurls them at random enemies.

Formation Abilities

• Hellish Rebuke - Enemies that attack any Champion in the formation trigger Farideh's Hellish Rebuke. The enemy is surrounded by green flames for 5 seconds and immediately takes 0.5 seconds worth of BUD damage.
• Chosen of Asmodeus - Whenever Farideh's Hellish Rebuke triggers, Farideh's damage is increased by 100%. This stacks multiplicatively up to 25 times, and the stacks reset when changing areas.
• Pact Family - Farideh's damage is increased by 100% for each Tiefling Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
• Sister, Sister - Increases the post-stack effect of Pact Family by 500% when Havilar is in the formation. Additionally, whenever Havilar sacrifices her Imps, the stack cap of Chosen of Asmodeus is increased by 2, stacking up to 5 times (10 additional stacks total).

Specializations

• Daughters of Mehen - Pact Family now also gains a stack for each Dragonborn Champion in the formation, and its post-stack effect is increased by 400%. Chosen of Asmodeus stacks are halved when changing areas if Mehen is in the formation, rather than resetting to 0.
• Fury of Asmodeus - Farideh gains the Debuff role, and whenever Chosen of Asmodeus is at more than 10 stacks, Farideh deals 100% more damage against enemies currently affected by Hellish Rebuke for each stack above 10 she has, stacking multiplicatively.
• Pact with Lorcan - Farideh gains the Hunter role, Fiends become her favored foe, and the effect of Hellish Rebuke is increased by 200% on all Fiends. By sheer dumb luck, each wave of enemies in non-boss areas has a 33% chance to spawn 1-2 Fiends, and all bosses now count as demonic Fiends for the purposes of all abilities that care about such things.

Ultimate Attack

• Infernal Aspect (magic) - Farideh taps into her infernal bloodline, surrounding herself in a nimbus of flames and sprouting a pair of fiery wings from her back for 15 seconds. This causes all enemies to go berserk, resulting in them moving 50% faster, attacking twice as often, but dealing 90% less damage. During this time, her flaming aura shoots slivers of flame at random enemies once per second, dealing massive damage.

Alyndra Alexandria Garanahil Sarrbarand is known by many names: Lorekeeper of Rime Spiro, Kinscribe of Clan Monkeymouse, Daughter of Oblivion, Fate Changer, Knight of Wonder and Captivation...and apologetic offspring of Avren & Sofieus.

Alyndra originally launched on March 11, 2021, as part of Festival of Fools 4. Now, she is the first Champion to receive a rework in a Year 9 Event, with a change to how her Portent works, a new passive ability, I See Some Friends, and a new support ability, Circle of Divination. To learn all about the updates and new abilities, read on!

Alyndra

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Mind Spike (magic) - Alyndra reaches into the mind of a random enemy, dealing damage and slowing the enemy by 50% for 3 seconds.

Passive Abilities

• I See Some Friends - When Alyndra is in the formation, all Champions from the Heroes of the Planes affiliation may be used, even if a Patron, Variant, or other restriction would say otherwise.

Formation Abilities

• Circle of Divination - Alyndra increases the damage of adjacent Champions by 100%.
• I Have Foreseen This - For each Champion in the formation affected by Portent, Alyndra's Circle of Divination is increased by 100%, stacking multiplicatively.
• Brows of Judgement - Griff, Alyndra's owl companion, sits on Alyndra's shoulder and judges enemies as they spawn. They have a 25% chance to judge normal enemies as unworthy, and a 100% chance to judge bosses as unworthy. For each unworthy normal enemy that spawns, Circle of Divination is increased by 20%, stacking multiplicatively. If a boss has spawned in the current area, Circle of Divination is increased by an additional 1000%. Griff can judge up to 100 normal enemies per area, and the stacks reset when changing areas.

Specializations

• Expansive Vision - Portent now applies to the next 3 Champions to use their ultimate abilities instead of 2, and the effect is increased by 100%.
• Extra Judgy - Doubles Griff's chance to judge enemies as unworthy with Brows of Judgement, increases the buff by 100%, and when changing areas, half of the stacks persist.
• Heroes of the Planes - If Portent is applied to a Champion under the effect of certain Heroes of the Planes Champions' abilities, those effects are increased in power.

Ultimate Ability

• Portent - Alyndra glances into the future. The next two unique Champions to use their ultimate abilities gain the Portent buff for 40 seconds, which increases their base damage by 1000% and reduces their base attack cooldown by 0.5 sec. If an affected Champion uses their ultimate ability again before the Portent buff expires, their Portent buff duration is refreshed.

Faerûn's Savage Frontier has no shortage of dangers, but that hasn't stopped the citizens of Triboar from carving out a living in this picturesque stretch of fertile northern farmland.

This year, however, the people of Triboar are in need of aid. As the Highharvestide Festival approaches, bandits have begun causing trouble for farmers attempting to bring in their harvests, and it's up to the Champions to put an end to it!

Cazrin is the ray of sunshine in the party, the eternal optimist, the friendly ear or the shoulder to cry on. She is passionate about magic, knowledge, and learning, always experimenting or testing new theories. Growing up, Cazrin’s family feared and forbade the study of magic because of an ancestress who misused her power, so Cazrin was forced to teach herself and eventually leave her family behind to pursue her dreams. Intelligent but inexperienced, she has embraced a life of adventuring to gather the thrills and experiences that as a child she could only read about in books.

Cazrin is a Support and DPS Champion that collects books as she adventures with the Fallbacks' faithful companion, Uggie. Her Sunny Disposition increases the damage of Champions in her column and the columns in front of her, and she's always ready to protect herself with Mage Armor.

To learn about the Fallbacks DPS champion arriving on September 3rd, read on!

Subsequent kills of the same boss have a 10% chance of dropping an additional Book. The maximum number of Books that can be collected during a single adventure is the highest area reached divided by 5, rounded down. Cazrin keeps track of both the number of Books she has collected in the current adventure, as well as the size of her Library, which is the number of Books she has collected across all adventures.

• In Search of Knowledge - Cazrin's attacks and abilities gain additional effects based on the number of Books that she has collected in the current adventure.
  • 10+ Books: Cazrin fires an additional Magic Missile with her base attack.
  • 40+ Books: Increase the effect of Sunny Disposition by 5% for each Book she has collected in the current adventure, stacking multiplicatively.
  • 80+ Books: Cazrin fires an additional Magic Missile with her base attack.
  • 120+ Books: When triggered, Mage Armor is now cast on all Champions in the formation instead of just Cazrin.
  • 160+ Books: Increase the effect of Unctuous Uggie by 1% for each Book Cazrin has collected in the current adventure, stacking additively.
  • 200+ Books: Support Champions affected by Mage Armor have a 40% chance to deal an additional 5 seconds of BUD damage with each normal attack hit.
  • 240+ Books: Mage Armor's damage prevention is increased to 50%.
