New Champion: Sheila  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Sheila is the compassionate heart of a group of young friends whisked away to the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. She reluctantly took on the role of Thief, using her Cloak of Invisibility to move unseen. Sensitive and loyal, Sheila strives to keep her loved ones safe, especially her younger brother, Bobby. Her supportive spirit is a powerful force as they journey together in search of a way back home.
Sheila is a Support and Debuff Champion whose kind heart supports all Good-aligned Champions in the formation. Her magical Cloak of Invisibility allows her to attack unseen, weakening enemy coordination and increasing her allies' critical hit chance and damage. She occasionally collects Potion Reagents when bosses are defeated, allowing you to brew potions. The Apothecary system will be launching on March 12! We'll have more information about it in an upcoming blog.

Champion Update: Ishi  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Ishi Snaggletooth hails from a warren of Kobolds living in the sewers under Baldur's Gate. Always the type to be more curious than careful, she accidentally stowed away on a ship headed to Port Nyanzaru. There, she met her dear friend, the Firbolg Littlefox. Often shunned by humans, Ishi hopes to prove herself as a true hero however she can. Ishi's biggest claim to fame is the defeat of the known swordsman, Hershel Von Saberburg, and since that day, she's touted herself as a renowned duelist to anyone who'll listen to her.
It's been a long time since Ishi joined Idle Champions, and on February 12th, 2025, she will be the lucky recipient of a new Rework set to make her a powerful component of non-human formations.

For more info about the new Ishi Rework, read on!

Posted in Idle Champions.

    The imposing presence of Sergeant Knox came to Neverwinter when the Mintarn mercenaries were hired to retake the city following the eruption of Mount Hotenow. Soon he became a daily presence and mentor for new Adventurers in the city. Celeste reached out to her old friend following the catastrophic events at Elturel, hoping the veteran mercenary would join the Champions as they face the greatest foe the Sword Coast has ever seen!

Sergeant Alphonse Knox has received a moderate rework to improve his core theme of being an excellent early game party member for Celeste and Makos. For details on the Sgt. Knox Rebalance, read on...

2024 Champion Spotlight: Voronika 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    A young Eladrin woman, raised to be the Queen of Koshmarr, what was meant to be an idyllic life took a dark turn on the night of her wedding. Pulled into the machinations of greater powers, she found herself in Mordent, now one of the many wandering ghosts. A person of great interest both to Azalin Rex and Strahd, she sought to negotiate her freedom from these dread domains. Her longtime companions and their newfound friends wanted the same and imbued her soul into Desmond’s sword. As they traveled in search of returning her soul to her body, Voronika took matters into her own hands and used the Crown of the Raven Queen to defeat Zybilna and cause the fall of Prismeer. This action drew the mists to Voronika and soon she discovered herself a new darklord in her domain of Koshmarr.
Voronika has received a significant rework to help streamline and simplify her overall design. For details about Voronika's updated design, read on...

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Produce Flame (magic) - Voronika creates a flame in her hand which she fires at a random enemy. If Voronika has achieved her Darklord form, the target is lit on fire and takes 1 second of BUD damage every second for 5 seconds.

Passive Abilities

  • Wed, then Undead - After being killed on her wedding night, Voronika became a ghost. The following rules apply:
    • Voronika can be attacked like normal and she can be "killed", at which point it stops granting all effects like any dead Champion would.
    • Voronika counts as "undead" for the purposes of effects that care about dead Champions (Desmond), but "alive" for all other purposes. She still counts as undead even after reaching her Darklord form.

Formation Abilities

  • Puppet Master - Voronika claims the BUD-setting Champion as her Puppet. The damage of her chosen Puppet is increased by 100%. Voronika only changes her Puppet if a different Champion is the BUD-setting Champion for more than 30 seconds in a row. Voronika's Puppet gains the Black Dice Society affiliation.
  • Calculating Guidance - Voronika increases the damage of all Champions in one column in front of her by 100%. Voronika's key allies are members of the Black Dice Society. The effect of this ability is increased by 100% for each key ally in the formation. This stacks additively until Voronika completes her Search for the Crown, when it changes to stack multiplicatively.
  • Search for the Crown - Voronika's search for the Crown of the Raven Queen requires her to complete 3 goals. When Voronika completes all 3 goals, she acquires the crown, transforms into her Darklord Form, unlocks her ultimate attack, and improves her base attack. Her goals include:
    • Voronika reaches level 750
    • Use 50 Ultimate Attacks with other Champions
    • One additional goal unlocked by her first Specialization choice.
  • Speed Run - The effect of Puppet Master is increased by 10,000%. This value multiplicatively decreases by 10% five minutes after the adventure starts and decreases by another 10% for every minute after that, but doesn't decrease after Voronika has completed her Search for the Crown.
  • Ultimate Power - Voronika increases the effect of Calculating Guidance by 0.1% for each use of an Ultimate while she is in the formation, stacking multiplicatively. Caps at 100,000 stacks. These stacks persist until reset.

Specializations A

  • Embrace Evil - For the third Quest for the Crown goal, Calculating Guidance's key allies must kill 2,500 enemies. The key allies for Calculating Guidance now also include Champions who have the Evil alignment.
  • Hunt The Favored - For the third Quest for the Crown goal, you must kill 500 enemies who are the Favored Foe of any Champion in the formation. The key allies for Calculating Guidance now also include Champions who have a Favored Foe.
  • Weaken The Fools - For the third Quest for the Crown goal, you must apply 1750 Debuffs to enemies. The key allies for Calculating Guidance now also include Champions who have the Debuff role.

Specializations B

  • Battle Magic - Voronika's Puppet additionally casts an explosive magic missile at a random target after each attack which deals 1000% of their normal damage to all enemies in a small area.
  • Powerful Focus - Voronika's Puppet has all of their incoming positional damage effects increased by 75%, and their basic attack now knocks back any enemies it hits a short distance.
  • Strike First, Strike Hard - Voronika's Puppet attacks 1.0 seconds faster and their damage is increased by 150% for each Champion adjacent to them, stacking multiplicatively.

Ultimate Ability

  • Horrifying Visage - Voronika moves in front of the party, magically pushing back all monsters a short distance, especially the ones in front. All enemies take ultimate damage, and then all surviving enemies deal 90% less damage for 30 seconds. In addition, the boss/enemy enrage timer fills 200% slower for 30 seconds.

Idle Champions: Highharvestide 8 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    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!

Highharvestide 8 marks the beginning of Year 8 Events in Idle Champions and the beginning of Idle Champions 7th Anniversary Celebration! That's not confusing, is it?

But wait, there's more -- today also marks the launch of our latest Saturday Morning Squad member: Bobby the Barbarian!

Bobby is the first of the Featured Champions for Highharvestide 8, with the second, Rosie Beestinger, launching on Wednesday, September 11. Rosie's rework has been a long time coming, and we are excited to finally share with you what we've done.

Read on to learn more about Highharvestide 8 and the 7th Anniversary Celebration!

    Bobby is the youngest of the group that was transported to the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. As a brave and loyal Barbarian, he wields a powerful magical club that enhances his strength.

Rosie Beestinger

    Weighing in at just under 30 pounds and with a grandmotherly demeanor befitting her advanced age, Rosie Beestinger is easily mistaken for someone on the wrong side of the 'aggressor/victim' relationship. But this is a mix-up that few people make more than once.

Learn about Rosie's upcoming rebalance in her 2024 Champion Spotlight launching on Friday, September 6. The Rosie Rebalance arrives on Wednesday, September 11 at the beginning of Highharvestide Week 2.

    Bobby is the youngest of the group that was transported to the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. As a brave and loyal Barbarian, he wields a powerful magical club that enhances his strength.

Idle Champions: Ahghairon's Day 7 
Posted in Idle Champions.

It's that time of year again when the citizens of Waterdeep come together to celebrate Ahgairon - the first Open Lord of Waterdeep. But this year the Champions don't have time to join in the festivities. The current Open Lord of Waterdeep has an important mission for them, and when Laeral Silverhand calls - the Champions will always answer!

Ahghairon's Day 7 has arrived and we're doing things a little differently this time around! Today, you can unlock a reworked Rust on the Harbour, the Tabaxi Rogue from the Oxventurers, played by Johnny Chiodini. Then, next week on August 14th, you'll be able to unlock a reworked Ellywick Tumblestrum, the Gnome (greatest) Bard (in the multiverse), from Wild Beyond and Witchlight and Magic: The Gathering. Both of these Champions received updates to their mechanics to better fit your formations. You can learn more about Rust in his Champions Spotlight linked below and Ellywick's Champion Spotlight that will go live this Friday, August 9th.

Table of Contents


Rust

Dungeons & Dragons Rust

    Rust on the Harbour is a former pirate who gave up a life at sea because it was far too wet. His deadly skills are in contrast to his sweet nature and short attention span, and he enjoys seeing others succeed even if they are supposed to be antagonists. Now trying life as an adventurer on land, he'll lend his roguish skills to anyone who can give him that which his heart desires most: one gold piece.


Rust is a Support and Gold Find Champion whose excitement to find coin helps the rest of the formation increase their gold find. When you need his assistance in the formation, he'll be counting his one gold piece in seat 11, opposite Jamilah.

We are fortunate to get to work with a huge variety of actual play D&D series, but it's a rare treat to be able to include the Dungeon Master as one of the Content Creators who bring a Champion to our game. So we're very happy that this Champion from the Oxventurers Guild from Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra comes from DM Johnny Chiodini! They created Rust as their character for a Saltmarsh campaign, and brought the supportive tabaxi in as an NPC for the Oxventurers to enjoy. Along with their impressive DM skills, Johnny has made content for Eurogamer, GameSpot, and Dicebreaker, and currently creates videos about tabletop and video games for their Patreon.

Learn more about Rust on the Harbour in our Champion Spotlight!

Ellywick Tumblestrum

Dungeons & Dragons Ellywick

    Thanks to a lucky draw from the notorious Deck of Many Things, Ellywick Tumblestrum is now the Greatest Bard in the Multiverse! Her magnificent music has dazzled beings across many planes, including royalty from the Feywild. The Summer Queen and the Queen of Air and Darkness were so moved by her performance that they gifted the bard her exquisite instrument, the beautiful lute Morningmist. She tells tales of her amazing adventures at the Witchlight Carnival, aided by her frog companion Groak.


Ellywick is a Support, Gold Find, and Healing Champion who uses the Deck of Many Things to augment her abilities. When you want her bardic skills to inspire your formation, she can be swapped out with Tyril in seat 10.

Learn more about Ellywick Tumblestrum when her Champion Spotlight goes live this Friday, August 9th, at 10am PDT!

Flex Champions

Flex Slots allow players to unlock additional Champions and earn chests during events by choosing from a pool of retired Champions associated with the event. This collection of retired Champions includes the Champions from previous years of the event as well as some Champions whose events have been retired. This event's Flex Slot pool includes:

  • Omin (3)
  • Ishi (4)
  • Prudence (5)


  • Valentine (5)
  • Shandie (6)
  • Jim (7)
  • Beadle & Grimm (8)


Event Theme: Masquerade Ball

Throughout the event, we release new Packs for the featured & flex Champions everyone is unlocking & gearing up. Continuing with Ahghairon's Day, the skins included in these packs will share a new theme!

This month the Champions are getting fancy and going to a Masquerade Ball! Each week you'll find new Masquerade Ball versions of the featured Champions, Rust today and Ellywick next week, as well as select Flex Champions. Adventuring is a dirty job - but that doesn't mean your Champions can't be dressed in their best for it!

Dungeons & Dragons Masquerade Ball

Starting today you can find the Masquerade Ball Rust Theme Pack and the Avatar of Azuth Familiar Pack in the in-game store. More Masquerade Ball Skins are coming on August 14th and 21st.

Posted in Idle Champions.

Many are excited by the thrilling life of a pirate on the high sea. But all the swashbuckling skills in the world cannot help when you are afraid of water!

Rust on the Harbour is the sweetest, nicest sellsword to ever be shot out of a cannon, and it was time we gave a new shine to his one gold piece. So read on to learn all about this terrific tabaxi and the changes we've made to make him even better!

I. Rust

III. Rust's Abilities

Rust has received a rework that super charges his gold find build-around, especially the buffs he gives and how much better he is at holding on to his shiny gold piece. His new abilities let him affect the weather, decrease cooldowns, and generally provide more bonuses to his affiliation and his fellow gold find Champions!

Basic Attack

Rust has two different attacks that he rotates through. He attacks once with Bang Bang, then drops his pistols and will attack with his Rapier three times before retrieving the pistols and starting over.
  • Bang Bang - Rust shoots a random enemy with his pistols, once from each pistol.
  • Stabby Stabby - Rust leaps out and stabs a random enemy with his Rapier once.

Formation Abilities

  • Hello, Friends! - Rust increases the damage of all Champions by 400% for each Champion in the formation with the Gold Find role or the Oxventurers Guild affiliation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • One Gold Piece - Assuming Rust does not already have one, he has a 10% chance to find a shiny gold piece after any kill that drops gold (not just his own). Each time Rust finds a shiny gold piece he gains a Riches stack. Rust increases the effect of Hello, Friends by 10% for each Riches stack he has, stacking multiplicatively. Rust loses his shiny gold piece whenever you use his ultimate ability. Riches stacks are capped at the highest area unlocked / 5, rounded up.
  • Rust For Hire - Rust increases your gold find by 400%.
  • Highest Bidder - Rust increases the damage of all Champions by 100% for each order of magnitude of your Gold Find percentage, stacking multiplicatively.
