Behold the evil architect behind everything! The horrific lich surrounded by zombies who has been responsible for all the terrible things that The Awful Ones have...
...no, not familiar? Never seen him before? Then it's time for you to witness, and maybe this time remember, the Big Bad Evil Guy!
I. BBEG
BBEG is the Big Bad Evil Guy, a Drow necromancer who believes immaculate planning will always lead to success. Unfortunately his constant failures contradict this conviction. BBEG likes to monologue and taunt his opponents, leaving his summoned zombies to engage directly in combat.
BBEG is a support and speed Champion that chews the scenery so much he breaks through the 4th wall. As the Big Bad Evil Guy of the Awful Ones campaign, this necromancer stands back and lets his less intelligent zombie minions do the hard work. His strength lies in being able to railroad the Champions through to more exciting parts of the adventure. Once unlocked, you can find this Drow necromancer in Slot 3 opposite Nayeli.
II. BBEG's Stats
Race: Elf (Drow)
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/Him
Age: 500
Affiliation: None (but Awful Ones adjacent)
Class: Wizard
STR: 10
DEX: 13
CON: 8
INT: 18
WIS: 15
CHA: 12
Role: Support, Speed
Eligible for Patrons: Mirt, Strahd
Slot: 3 (Nayeli)
III. BBEG's Design
Every Dungeon Master wants to craft a story that is entertaining and engaging. But what happens when your players stop paying attention? Pat, the DM of the Awful Ones from 1 For All, is understandably frustrated by this lack of recognition. Despite his best efforts crafting an extremely powerful and memorable antagonist for his campaign, no one seems to recall who BBEG is, or be challenged by him in any battle.
As the sworn enemy of the Awful Ones, BBEG will follow them into any adventure that any of them are eligible for. He uses his Chill Touch to strike at the most healthy enemy on the field, and summons shambling zombies to attack anything they come across. The Awful Ones provide a great source of fresh corpses for his undead army, so the more of them there are in the formation, the faster he can summon his minions. BBEG, believing himself to be the smartest, strategically surrounds himself with less intelligent minions to boost his own perceived brilliance as the Evil Overlord, increasing the damage of Champions with an Intelligence of 12 or less.
BBEG wants to get the adventure over with as quickly as possible, so he'll increase his damage bonus for each potion that is active, and reduce the next area's quest requirements if the formation plows through the current area quickly enough. His Specializations will further boost that damage buff depending on the types of companions he is surrounded by. Fill the formation with Evil Champions and pick Powergaming, or Champions with a total ability score of 78 or less to choose Min-Maxing, or use a bunch of Lawful Champions and pick Rules Lawyering. If that still isn't fast enough, he will appeal to his eldritch lord Balgronuuth for the ultimate power to summon two zombies at a time instead of just one!
Show the other Champions just how epic and incredible BBEG can be, and maybe they'll remember him the next time he joins the formation!
IV. BBEG's Abilities
Basic Attack
Chill Touch - BBEG conjures a spectral hand over the enemy with the most health and touches it, dealing one hit.
Passive Abilities
Awful Nemesis - As the sworn enemy of the Awful Ones, BBEG is eligible for any adventure that any of them are eligible for. However, they still don't remember who he is.
Formation Abilities
Evil Overlord - BBEG increases the damage of all Champions with an Intelligence of 12 or less by +100%.
Homebrew - BBEG increases the damage bonus of Evil Overlord by 100% for each active potion, stacking multiplicatively.
Rise, My Minions! - Every 10 seconds BBEG creates a plodding zombie that appears in front of the front-most column and slowly moves across the screen from left to right. It takes 30 seconds for a zombie to plod from its spawn point to the right-side of the screen where it despawns. Zombies persist with area changes. Enemies near the zombie take 0.2 second worth of BUD-based damage per second.
Sources of Corpses - The time it takes for Rise, my Minions! to summon a zombie is reduced by 2.5 seconds for each Awful Ones affiliation member in the formation, and the damage bonus of Evil Overlord is increased by +100% for each summoned zombie, stacking multiplicatively, with buffs applying to the pre-stack value.
Railroad - If the current area is completed (for the first time) in 5 seconds or less, BBEG reduces the next area's quest requirements by 25%.
Specializations
Powergaming - BBEG increases the damage bonus of Evil Overlord by +200% for each Evil champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applied multiplicatively.
Min-Maxing - BBEG increases the damage bonus of Evil Overlord by +150% for each Champion with a total ability score of 78 or less in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applied multiplicatively.
Rules Lawyering - BBEG increases the damage bonus of Evil Overlord by +100% for each Lawful champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applied multiplicatively.
Ultimate Ability
Balgronuuth's Undead Horde - Balgronuuth's symbol appears in the air for 30 seconds. While the symbol is in the air, every time Rise, my Minions! summons a zombie, it summons two instead of one.
Modrons have broken away from the Great Modron March and are spreading across the realms! Protect the Forgotten Realms and unlock exclusive rewards in the Thayan Enclave Shop during the Modron Emergence Event, which runs from May 24th at Noon Pacific until June 7th at noon Pacific!
What is an Emergence Event?
Emergence Events are limited-time events where specific monsters begin to appear in all Free Play adventures. These additional monsters (and any previous use of them) will drop Corrupted Gems during the Emergence Event.
What are Corrupted Gems?
Corrupted Gems are a new currency collected only during Emergence Events. You can spend them in the new Thayan Enclave gem shop.
A Corrupted Gem
How do I collect Corrupted Gems?
During Emergence Events, Corrupted Gems can be collected from the designated monsters, and by completing a daily quest visible in the Emergence Event dialog. Additionally, some variants can reward Corrupted Gems.
How many Corrupted Gems can I collect through the Emergence Event?
The number of Corrupted Gems available in each Emergence Event varies. For the current Emergence Event, you can collect 70,000 Corrupted Gems: 35,000 Corrupted Gems by defeating Modrons during the event, and an additional 35,000 by completing all 14 of the daily quests during the Emergence Event.
The drop rate of Corrupted Gems is controlled at a rate of 1 Corrupted Gem every 30-40 seconds from the start to approximately 3 hours before the end of the event. A catch-up mechanic is built into the event, so if you have a bunch of Corrupted Gems you haven't collected yet, the designated enemies will drop more than 1 for each you destroy until you reach your threshold. Here are two scenarios as an example: 1. You've collected all the available Corrupted Gems from drops. You will see about one drop every 30-40 seconds or so, assuming you are regularly destroying the designated enemies. 2. You've collected 500 Corrupted Gems from drops, but a total of 3000 have been available since the event started. You will receive accelerated drops (more frequent drops and multiple drops per kill) until you have caught up to the maximum available number of drops.
Where can I find Modrons?
The designated enemies for the Emergence Event can be found by playing any Free Play adventures. They can also be found in the adventures and variants of the active event: The Great Modron March!
What can I purchase with Corrupted Gems?
The specific items will vary by Emergence, but include Golden Epic Equipment cards, Feat cards, Skins, Chests, and Marvelous Pigments!
Thayan Enclave
What are Marvelous Pigments?
Marvelous Pigments are specialized items you can use to upgrade certain equipment items. The Thayan Enclave is currently featuring the Marvelous Support Pigment, which can be used to upgrade any epic or better equipment items on a support Champion to provide a +200% Global Damage buff in addition to their normal effects!
Celeste Equipment with Support Pigment Applied
What happens when the Emergence Event ends?
When the Emergence Event ends, you will no longer be able to collect Corrupted Gems from the designated enemies and the daily quests. However, the Corrupted Gems available as variant rewards will remain available for anyone who has yet to complete them. Corrupted Gems that you have collected will remain in your inventory.
When is the next Emergence Event?
The next Emergence Event will begin on August 30th, 2023.
Evandra is always ready to charge into a fight for treasure, glory, or simply because she's feeling a bit bored. Because why waste time talking or throwing spells around when you’ve got a trusty sword?
I. Evandra
Rough and tumble, and ready for action, Half-Elven Fighter Evandra brings the muscle. Evandra ran away from home when her father discovered that she had been training in strength and combat. He tried to force her into an arranged marriage with an elven nobleman, but Evandra rejected this on both principle and taste. She decided instead to become an adventurer, free from her father’s judgment.
Evandra is a Support, Tanking, and Gold Find Champion who's always willing to lend a hand as long as a fight is involved. She empowers all neutral champions, and brings the Awful Ones together, especially if the Witchlight Carnival is involved. Once unlocked, you can find this Half-Elf Fighter in Slot 5 opposite Calliope.
II. Evandra's Stats
Race: Half-Elf
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Age: 27
Affiliation: Awful Ones
Class: Fighter
STR: 17
DEX: 12
CON: 16
INT: 12
WIS: 9
CHA: 11
Role: Support, Tanking, Gold Find
Eligible for Patrons: Vajra
Slot: 5 (Calliope)
III. Evandra's Design
Evandra is the tank of the Awful Ones from 1 For All, leading the way into whatever dangers they might encounter. She increases the damage of all Neutral Champions on the good/evil axis with her Freedom's Fury, and buffs everyone's health as well as any healing effects they receive thanks to her Inspiring Fortitude. Fighting is hard work and deserves compensation, so she's always trying to Find the Secret Stash by increasing the formation's gold find.
If Evandra is horribly wounded in battle, you’ll find that she’s Never Completely ‘Armless. If her health is ever brought to zero she will sacrifice her own arm in order to survive and get back into the battle with whatever weapon she can wield. Sometimes that's her Trusty Sword, but she'll make do with whatever arms are available. When she’s in big trouble, Evandra can use her Ultimate attack to “disarm” a nearby mechanical menace and strike her enemies with Improvised Arms. While wielding this automaton’s arm, Evandra increases her attack rate and greatly increases her damage.
The damage bonus her Freedom's Fury provides is increased depending on what other Champions join her formation. Her Specializations let you choose between Powerful Allies, which raises the bonus for each female or nonbinary Champion in the formation, Fighting Force that increases it for each fighter, barbarian, ranger, or paladin, and Carnival Crew for each Champion with a total ability score of 78 or less. Since Evandra is such a huge fan of the Witchlight Carnival, she's eligible for all Wild Beyond the Witchlight adventures and variants no matter the restrictions. And she'll extend that ability to her fellow Awful Ones if the Carnival Crew Specialization is chosen.
Evandra's strength and confidence are great additions to the formation, even as she charges into battle head-first and full of bravado!
IV. Evandra's Abilities
Basic Attack
Trusty Sword - Evandra moves up next to the closest enemy and swings her sword, dealing 1 hit to all nearby enemies.
Passive Abilities
Evandra, the Magnificent - Evandra can be used in any Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign adventure or variant, even if she would not normally be available to be used due to variant or patron restrictions.
Formation Abilities
Freedom's Fury - Evandra increases the damage of all Neutral Champions (on the Good/Evil axis) by 100%.
Find the Secret Stash - Increase the formation's gold find by 100%. Every time a Champion attacks but does not defeat an enemy, increase this bonus by 50%, stacking additively up to 120 times and applying multiplicatively. Bonus resets when an enemy is defeated.
Inspiring Fortitude - Evandra increases the health of all other Champions by 25% of her max health, and any healing effect on those Champions is increased by 25%.
Specializations
Powerful Allies - Evandra increases the damage bonus of Freedom's Fury by +100% for each female or nonbinary Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applied multiplicatively.
Fighting Force - Evandra increases the damage bonus of Freedom's Fury by +125% for each fighter, barbarian, ranger, or paladin in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applied multiplicatively.
Carnival Crew - Evandra increases the damage bonus of Freedom's Fury by +150% for each Champion with a total ability score of 78 or less in the formation, stacking multiplicatively. In addition, all Awful Ones Champions are available to be used if Wild Beyond the Witchlight is the current campaign, even if they do not currently qualify based on variant or patron restrictions.
Ultimate Ability
Improvised Arms - A mechanical guard spawns on the right side and quickly moves to the middle of the enemy's side of the screen. Evandra moves up, attacks the guard, and instantly "disarms" it and defeats it. Then Evandra uses the guard's arm as a weapon for the next 15 seconds instead of her sword. For the duration, Evandra's attack deals an additional 3 seconds of BUD damage, her normal attack speed cooldown is faster by 2 seconds, and Freedom's Fury is increased by 100% for the duration.
This week's update continues The Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign with two new adventures and adventure variants. It's time to return to the Feywild and explore the final Prismeer domain!
We found and rescued Gleam’s sister, Glister, and learned about the League of Malevolence in the process. When we attempted to flee Motherhorn for the Palace of Heart’s Desire, we realized all three hags of the Hourglass Coven were present and tried to defeat them, which lead to a battle on a giant crane's back. We arrived at the Palace of Heart’s Desire and made our way through the gardens, and learned more of what the Hourglass Coven did to Zybilna. We also encountered Zargash, a cleric of Orcus from the League of Malevolence, before unlocking the palace itself.
Keep in mind that you will need to have completed the previous two Wild Beyond the Witchlight Adventures, The Bitter End and The Palace of Heart's Desire, in order to access these new Adventures.
The Court of Storms
Enter the Palace of Heart's Desire and finally unlock the secrets of Prismeer.
Variant: Coasting to the Finish - Enter the Palace of Heart's Desire with a solid plan.
You can't add, move, or remove Champions from the formation after having completed area 25.
You can no longer level up Champions after having completed area 750.
After area 750, game speed is multiplied by x3 (while still respecting the x10 cap if other speed abilities are active).
Complete area 1000
Beware the Jabberwock
The Jabberwock is ready for a brawl. Face them down before the hag coven descends!
Adventure Variant: Quick or Quack - The Jabberwock is ready for a brawl. Don't slow to a crawl!
Every second of real-time in an area reduces all Champion damage by 50%, stacking multiplicatively. Damage is reset to normal at the start of every area.
To mark each real-time second passing, a Fey Duck monster spawns. It drops no gold nor counts towards quest progress.
"If the trees are thin, let the flames begin, if the trees are tight, do not ignite."
Some folks never bother to ask how big the room is; they're always ready for a fireball. And Nixie is the quintessential firecracker, able to light up a room with her bright smile and her flaming hot spells!
I. Nixie
Nixie is a charismatic tiefling who grew up in a wealthy but oppressive household, and punished for using magic despite her natural talent. In a rebellious move, she stole the family grimoire to teach herself dark sorcery only to result in the burning down of her family manor and all her family inside. Despite this tragedy, Nixie is now on a journey to enjoy her newfound magical freedom and find a new family.
Nixie is a DPS and Support Champion who gives charismatic Champions like herself a big boost. When force is required, she casts Fireball, and when stealth is required...she casts Fireball. But her magic isn't perfect as she inadvertently triggers the occasional wild magic surge. Once unlocked, you can find this Tiefling Sorcerer in Slot 1 opposite Bruenor.
II. Nixie's Stats
Race: Tiefling
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Age: 19
Affiliation: Awful Ones
Class: Sorcerer (Wild Magic)
STR: 8
DEX: 14
CON: 17
INT: 3
WIS: 8
CHA: 20
Role: DPS, Support
Eligible for Patrons: Vajra
Slot: 1 (Bruenor)
III. Nixie's Design
When 1 For All crafted characters for their fantasy comedy web series, they leaned into some of the beloved tropes that can be found in many D&D PCs. The joy of casting a fireball never grows old, and it can be fun to create a chaotic character who crafts flames with unbridled enthusiasm!
Nixie is sparkly, cute, and uncontrollably deadly! She delights in jumping into the throes of battle casting fireballs, despite it possibly harming her own team members. With her Blazing Charisma she gleefully increases the damage of other charismatic Champions, but every spell cast is a chance to cause a random Wild Magic Surge. Some surges cause a bonus effect on the battlefield, like engulfing enemies in flames, creating a coin cascade, summoning a random monster, causing a stunning shockwave, or enlarging both her size and her damage! But sometimes she'll turn into a potted plant, or her skin will turn blue. That's the risks that come with being a Wild Magic Sorcerer.
Despite the unpredictability of her magic, Nixie is always ready to launch a flaming attack on her enemies. Normally it's a smaller Fireball?. But occasionally it's time for a FIREBALL!!! This ultimate, gigantic fireball engulfs all enemies on the field, burning them to a crisp. Those flaming spheres can cause even more damage depending on which Specialization Nixie chooses. Each one boosts the damage bonus of Blazing Charisma based on who else is in the formation. Infernal Impact focuses on the number of Tieflings, Anarchy Amplified works with Chaotic Champions, and Flawed Force counts the number of Champions with a total ability score of 78 or less.
Nixie's natural talents bring a chaotic element to the party, and she'll charm you over with her bright smile and even brighter explosions!

After traveling to the Tomb of the Nine Gods to retrieve the Eye of Vecna, and then to Avernus to claim the Hand of Vecna, we learned we needed the Sword of Kas to destroy both artifacts – but only after they have been attuned to a willing creature.

"No 'I' in team, but there’s an ‘A’ though, which stands for Antrius!"
With a beautiful voice and a glorious mane of hair, Antrius is always ready to charm everyone around! His swordcraft may be mostly flourish and fancy footwork, but he backs up his friends with inspiring words while viciously mocking his enemies!
I. Antrius
Antrius is your classic fantasy Bard - he’s a lover, not a fighter. His supportive parents paid his way through Bard College, and now Antrius is out on the road trying to make a name for himself with bravado, showmanship, and a seductive smolder.
Antrius is a Support and Healing Champion who empowers his companions with an Inspiring Song. With this song, he increases the damage of nearby companions and gives them temporary health to push through tough enemies. His tales depend on the stories of your Champions, so he buffs his companions based on the number of feats you have unlocked. Once unlocked, you can find this human bard in Slot 4 with Jarlaxle.
II. Antrius's Stats
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/Him

Affiliation: Awful Ones
Class: Bard
STR: 10
DEX: 14
CON: 13
INT: 10
WIS: 12
CHA: 18
Role: Support, Healing
Eligible for Patrons: Mirt, Zariel
Slot: 4 (Jarlaxle)
III. Antrius's Design
1 For All is an original fantasy comedy web series, which makes bringing their characters to life in our game a wonderfully unique experience! Antrius is played by Forgeling, who creates the character along with the rest of the folks at Deerstalker Pictures. This means we have a whole team of people to collaborate with to help craft Champions that their fans will love to see!
Antrius is a glorious performer, always focused on making his Inspiring Song bigger and better. Inspiring Song boosts the damage of adjacent Champions while also keeping them safe by providing some temporary hit points. Other Champions with a Charisma of 17 or higher will extend this benefit to more of the formation. The bigger the crowd, the better Antrius performs, so the more Champions affected by Inspiring Song, the bigger the damage bonus and number of temporary hit points it provides. And that damage bonus is further increased for every Feat your Champions have unlocked! His Specializations also focus on buffing Inspiring Song's damage bonus, choosing between the number of Bards, Chaotic Champions, or Champions with low ability scores in your formation.
Providing inspiring battle music isn't the only skill Antrius brings to the formation. With deadly wit he will attack his adversaries with Vicious Mockery. And his looks are just as lethal, using his Ultimate attack to turn a shattered mirror in to a Cloud of Daggers to eviscerate his enemies!
Fill the formation with fans of Antrius and surround him with a crowd of Champions, and Antrius will provide the most epic buffs to inspire your party to victory!
IV. Antrius's Abilities
Basic Attack
Vicious Mockery - Antrius attacks the enemy with the most health, dealing 1 hit and causing it to take +100% damage until he attacks again.
Formation Abilities
Inspiring Song - Antrius inspires each adjacent Champion giving them 10 temporary hit points every 5 seconds and increasing their damage by 100%. Any Champion with a Charisma score of 17 or higher further inspires all unaffected adjacent Champions, and this continues to cascade. Antrius' song is so inspiring that he also inspires himself, granting himself temp hp and the damage bonus. The total shield amount on each Champion is limited to 10 times the Champion's max health.
The Hardiest, Bardiest Bard - Antrius increases Inspiring Song's temporary hit point bonus by 100% for each Champion affected by it, stacking additively.
Suave and Sophisticated - Antrius increases Inspiring Song's damage bonus by 100% for each Champion affected by it, stacking multiplicatively. Buffs apply to the pre-stack value.
Can't be De-Feat-ed - Antrius increases Inspiring Song's damage bonus by 100% for each feat your Champions have unlocked, stacking additively.
Specializations
Bard College - Antrius increases Inspiring Song's damage bonus by 200% for each Bard in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
Truly Awful Stats - Antrius increases Inspiring Song's damage bonus by 150% for each Champion in the formation with a total ability score of 78 or lower, stacking multiplicatively.
The "A" In Chaotic Is For Antrius - Antrius increases Inspiring Song's damage bonus by 100% for each chaotic Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
Ultimate Ability
Cloud of Daggers - Antrius takes a hand mirror out and smiles into it, which causes it to shatter. Shards of glass fly out and create a medium sized cloud that swirls around the location of the enemy with the most health, and deals 1 hit of ultimate damage every 0.5 seconds to all enemies in the area for 10 seconds. The cloud does not move after it has picked a location.
