Dungeons & Dragons Wren

Along the way, disaster struck twice and Wren was killed - but each time she quickly returned in the form of herself from somewhere else in the Multiverse!
Wren is a glitch Champion where you get to pick her form. Will you choose the Dwarf Monk, focusing on her ability to deal damage? Will you choose the Tabaxi Barbarian, focusing on her ability to protect her allies? Or will you choose the Warforged Sorcerer, where she debuffs her enemies? Whatever form you pick, Wren will show up in seat 3 next to Nayeli.

Unlock Wren in the Twice Through the Great Wheel Adventure Variant and learn more about her in our Champion Spotlight!

    Idle Champions: Light of Xaryxis, Part 5 
    Posted in Idle Champions.

    With the Rock of Bral behind them, Krux tells the Champions about an old friend of his who is hiding out in Doomspace and who very much wants to stop the Xaryxian Empire. They'll need some help getting to Doomspace though. But, before they can do that Xedalli has gone missing! The Champions will have to find her before making their way to Krux's friend!

    This week's update brings two new adventures and adventure variants to our Light of Xaryxis campaign. It's time to get back into Wildspace!

    Note: you will need to complete the previous two Light of Xaryxis adventures, Rocky Reception and Rock and Roll, in order to access these new adventures.

    Also in this week's update is an extra Variant! Completing it will unlock our newest Evergreen Champion - Commodore Krux!

      Commodore Krux is a soldier who believes his glory days are behind him. This Giff has spent the last few years working as a mercenary on and around the Rock of Bral, but lately he has been spending more time in his cups as new jobs have become fewer and farther between.

    Commodore Krux is a DPS, Tanking, and Support Champion who is determined to protect your formation from the threats of Xaryxis. He's our next Evergreen Champion, so starting on July 19th 2023 you can unlock him by first completing the Topolah's Tower adventure and its variant Krux's Speed Run in the Light of Xaryxis campaign. That will unlock that adventure's second variant called Animated Giff, and when you complete that adventure the reward will include the unlock of Commodore Krux! Once unlocked, he'll be battle ready for you in Slot 4 opposite Jarlaxle.
