Idle Champions: Feast of the Moon 8 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    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 is here with another Absolute Adversary: Minthara Baenre! This former Lolth-Sworn Drow Paladin was sent from Menzoberranzan to investigate the Cult of the Absolute, only to end up becoming a True Soul of the Absolute herself.

Our first Featured Champion for Feast of the Moon, Minthara, launches with the event today. Our second Featured Champion arrives next week when Sergeant Alphonse Knox receives his Rebalance on Wednesday, November 13. For more information on Feast of the Moon 8, read on...

Featured Champions

Minthara

    Minthara, once a House Matron from the esteemed House Baenre in Menzoberranzan, was cast aside by the Absolute after failing to recover a powerful and mysterious artifact. Having broken free from the Absolute's control, she now harbors an intense hatred for her former master. Fueled by vengeance and a desire to reclaim her lost honor, Minthara channels her dark powers and cunning to oppose the Absolute and any who stand in her way.



Minthara Baenre is a Support, Debuff, and Tanking Champion who excels in formations with other Evil Champions. She provides resilience to other Champions and amplifies damage dealt to enemies. For details on this Nightwarden of House Baenre, read on!



Learn more about Minthara in her Champion Spotlight.

Sgt. Knox

    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!



Learn about Sgt.Knox's upcoming rebalance in his 2024 Champion Spotlight launching on Thursday, November 7th. The Sgt.Knox Rebalance arrives on Wednesday, November 13th at the beginning of Feast of the Moon Week 2!
