Champion Update: Nordom 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Modrons are the embodiment of law and order, marching in lockstep through the planes. But when Nordom Whistlklik was separated from his fellow modrons, the essence of chaos infected this rogue quadrone. Now with his crossbow-shaped gear spirits in hand, he works to fit his complex new outlook into his logical—if quirky—understanding of the planes.
Nordom the Modron has received some much-needed attention with his rework, improving his utility across formations and reinforcing his link to the Modron Core system. These changes will go live at the beginning of the second week of Simril 9 on Wednesday, December 10.

Let's talk about Nordom's rework!

Idle Champions: Simril 9 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Simril is ruined! Someone or something has been pillaging all the food stores of Luskan, leaving very little leftover for the feast of Simril, let alone the long, cold winter to follow. Your party has been hired to hunt down this ruiner-of-holidays and recover the stolen sustenance.
It's time for our final event of 2025: celebrating Faerûn's winter solstice with Simril 9!

We are incredibly excited for players to get their first chance to unlock the last new Champion of 2025, Lark Silverstring, the tiefling bard of the Fallbacks party. Lark is a Support, Speed, and Debuff Champion, so we have little doubt he will find his way into many of your formations.

Coming next week on December 10 will be our second Featured Champion for Simril, Nordom the Modron. Nordom has been reworked with an emphasis on providing more utility while reinforcing his link to Modron Cores. You'll be able to learn all about the Nordom Champion Update when the blog goes live on Friday, December 5.

Now, on with the show -- let's talk about Simril Year 9!

Featured Champions

Lark

A consummate showman and performer, Lark loves the spotlight, but his desire for attention might end up getting him killed. Hunted by mysterious enemies with deadly intent, Lark has nevertheless managed to forge a degree of notoriety and a small fan following as a bard, all while evading his pursuers and any questions about who is hunting him and why. Lark left his old band of performers and initially joined up with the Fallbacks in order to surround himself with powerful protectors. He didn’t expect to catch feelings for the group in the process, but he’s adjusting. The show must go on, after all.


Learn more about Lark in his Champion Spotlight.

But when Nordom Whistlklik was separated from his fellow modrons, the essence of chaos infected this rogue quadrone.

Idle Champions: The Great Modron March 6 
Posted in Idle Champions.

A modron sighting is a rare occurrence outside Mechanus, the plane of true law.

At least, it's supposed to be a rare occurrence -- word has it that thousands of modrons have been seen on the march in the wilderness, and they are heading towards Waterdeep!

The Great Modron March 6 introduces Evandra, the Half-Elf Fighter from Deerstalker Picture's 1 for All, and brings back Gazrick Nomrad, a rogue modron separated from his fellow modrons, and Mehen, Dragonborn Fighter and adoptive father of Farideh and Havilar of Brimstone Angels. Players have until Monday, June 5th at 12PM Pacific to complete their The Great Modron March 6 unlocks and objectives.

New Champion: 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.

For more information on Evandra and her abilities, check out her Champion Spotlight!


Year Six Variants



Fight First, Ask Questions Later: Help Evandra stop the Modron March from crushing Waterdeep! Evandra starts in the formation (Slot 1). She can't be moved or removed. Only Neutral Champions (on the good/evil axis) can deal damage.
  • Reach Area 75.

  • Half-Elf, Pink, and the Bard: Stop the Modron March and Mechanical Guards from crushing Waterdeep. Evandra starts in the formation (Slot 1). She can't be moved or removed. If you have them (and they're not already on another adventure) Antrius and Nixie start unlocked and in the formation (Slot 5 & 6 respectively). 1-2 Mechanical Guards spawn with every wave. They don't drop gold, nor do they count towards quest progress. Construct enemies move at +300% speed and deal +300% damage.
  • Reach Area 125.

  • That's What Friends Are For: Stop the Modron March from crushing Waterdeep with Evandra's favorite heroes! Evandra starts in the formation (Slot 1). She can't be moved or removed. You may only use Champions that are female, non-binary, fighters, rangers, barbarians, paladins, or have a total ability score of 78 or less.
  • Reach Area 175.


  • Much more detail and information can be found in the game! Enjoy!

    Idle Champions: The Great Modron March 5 
    Posted in Idle Champions.

    A modron sighting is a rare occurrence outside Mechanus, the plane of true law.

    At least, it's supposed to be a rare occurrence -- word has it that thousands of modrons have been seen on the march in the wilderness, and they are heading towards Waterdeep!

    The Great Modron March 5 introduces Nordom a rogue modron separated from his fellow modrons, and brings back Mehen, Dragonborn Fighter and adoptive father of Farideh and Havilar of Brimstone Angels, and Jaheira, the renowned half-elf druid from Baldur's Gate. Players have until Monday, May 31st at 12PM Pacific to complete their Great Modron March 5 unlocks and objectives.

    I. New Champion: Nordom

    Dungeons & Dragons Nordom Key Art

      Modrons are the embodiment of law and order, marching in lockstep through the planes. But when Nordom Whistlklik was separated from his fellow modrons, the essence of chaos infected this rogue quadrone. Now with his crossbow-shaped gear spirits in hand, he works to fit his complex new outlook into his logical, if quirky, understanding of the planes.


    Nordom is a Support Champion who adopted his new designation when he was called a "backward modron", and now takes on his new role in the formation with all the processing power he can muster. Find out all the details about Nordom in his Champion Spotlight!

    New Party & New Modron Core


    The Great Modron March was the perfect time for some upgrades to Modron Automation. Starting May 18th, if you have at least 4 Champions in each bench slot, you can play Split The Party 3 from your Adventuring Parties screen! Completing this challenging new adventure variant will unlock a 4th adventuring party, as well as a 4th Core: the Magic Core, which is focused on increasing the damage of Champions who use magic.


    Modron Supercharge System

    Additionally, starting today in every Modron Core, any outputs that increase Champion damage can be SUPERCHARGED! Supercharging starts to kick in when at least 500 power is being delivered to an output. Every time the power doubles after that point, the effect of that output is increased 25%, stacking additively and then applying multiplicatively, with a cap of 20 stacks. Set up your core cleverly, and you can significantly boost your DPS to help complete those difficult objectives!

    New DLC and a More Chests Sale!

    Today's launch also includes 4 DLC SKUs: 3 new Skin & Feat packs (Celeste, Spurt, and Penelope) as well as a Theme Pack for Nordom! We're also kicking off a More Chests Sale for the rest of the week. Until Monday, May 23rd at Noon Pacific, get more Gold Chests, Event Chests, or Modron Chests when you pick up most Chest Packs! Check the in game store for more details!

    Year Five Variants


    • Rogue Modron Hunting — Nodrom is being hunted by Duodrones and Pentadrones from the March! They drop no gold, nor do they count towards quest progress. But Nodrom is ready to defend himself, starting in the formation right away!
      • Complete Area 75.
    • A Lawful Lot of Champions — Nodrom takes his place in the formation right away, and insists that Chaotic Champions can't join. Only the Lawful ones can do any damage!
      • Complete Area 125.
    • Core Strength — The only way through these modrons is to push through with all speed! Fortunately Nodrom will make sure the formation is filled with the strong and the quick!
      • Reach Area 175.
