It's almost time for our biggest charity event of the year!

On November 7, we are kicking off the 12th Codename Entertainment Extra Life, raising money for our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, the BC Children's Hospital Foundation.

To learn more about Extra Life and our plans for this year's stream, read on!


Extra Life Returns

Since 2008, Extra Life has raised over $132 million USD for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The money raised is donated as unrestricted funds for hospitals to use as needed. And how does Codename Entertainment help raise that money? By doing what our community loves to do already: playing games together!

If you would like to learn more about Extra Life, check out their FAQ. The local member hospital that Codename Entertainment supports is BC Children's Hospital and the funds we raise are donated to BC Children's Hospital Foundation.

New Champion: Skylla  
Posted in Idle Champions.
Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, skylla, feast of the moon.

    The evil magic user Skylla borrows her terrible power from none other than the infamous Arch-hag and Mother of Witches, Baba Yaga. An ally of convenience, Skylla lives only for the pursuit of power and acclaim, seeing even her fellow members of the League of Malevolence as tools to be used and discarded when it suits her needs. Skylla confounds her foes with magical trickery, wielding the unpredictable chaos of the Feywild to hypnotize and incapacitate those who stand between her and her goals.
Skylla is a Support and Debuff Champion who channels the power of Baba Yaga to empower the allies in front of her. She debuffs enemies with Faerie Fire, with her power growing stronger as these marked foes fall. For a unique twist, she has a specialization that switches her allies' ability scores around.

Champion Update: Farideh  
Posted in Idle Champions.
Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, farideh, brimstone angels, liar's night.

    Abandoned as an infant and adopted by an outcast dragonborn warrior, Farideh grew up to adulthood acutely aware of the drawbacks of being a tiefling. While those from the Nine Hells do their utmost to corrupt her, Farideh isn't interested in power so much as defending the world from demons, the undead, and any other villains trying to bring trouble or drag her friends and family into danger.
Farideh has received a devilish update. Her Hellish Rebuke ability now triggers when any Champion in the formation receives damage, while Chosen of Asmodeus has been reworked entirely. Learn all about the changes below...

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Strahd, Zariel, Elminster (until October 8th, 2028)

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Scorching Ray (magic) - Farideh creates 3 rays of fire and hurls them at random enemies.

Formation Abilities

  • Hellish Rebuke - Enemies that attack any Champion in the formation trigger Farideh's Hellish Rebuke. The enemy is surrounded by green flames for 5 seconds and immediately takes 0.5 seconds worth of BUD damage.
  • Chosen of Asmodeus - Whenever Farideh's Hellish Rebuke triggers, Farideh's damage is increased by 100%. This stacks multiplicatively up to 25 times, and the stacks reset when changing areas.
  • Pact Family - Farideh's damage is increased by 100% for each Tiefling Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Sister, Sister - Increases the post-stack effect of Pact Family by 500% when Havilar is in the formation. Additionally, whenever Havilar sacrifices her Imps, the stack cap of Chosen of Asmodeus is increased by 2, stacking up to 5 times (10 additional stacks total).

Specializations

  • Daughters of Mehen - Pact Family now also gains a stack for each Dragonborn Champion in the formation, and its post-stack effect is increased by 400%. Chosen of Asmodeus stacks are halved when changing areas if Mehen is in the formation, rather than resetting to 0.
  • Fury of Asmodeus - Farideh gains the Debuff role, and whenever Chosen of Asmodeus is at more than 10 stacks, Farideh deals 100% more damage against enemies currently affected by Hellish Rebuke for each stack above 10 she has, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Pact with Lorcan - Farideh gains the Hunter role, Fiends become her favored foe, and the effect of Hellish Rebuke is increased by 200% on all Fiends. By sheer dumb luck, each wave of enemies in non-boss areas has a 33% chance to spawn 1-2 Fiends, and all bosses now count as demonic Fiends for the purposes of all abilities that care about such things.

Ultimate Attack

  • Infernal Aspect (magic) - Farideh taps into her infernal bloodline, surrounding herself in a nimbus of flames and sprouting a pair of fiery wings from her back for 15 seconds. This causes all enemies to go berserk, resulting in them moving 50% faster, attacking twice as often, but dealing 90% less damage. During this time, her flaming aura shoots slivers of flame at random enemies once per second, dealing massive damage.

Idle Champions: Liar's Night 9 
Posted in Idle Champions.
Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, king of shadows, farideh, liar's night.

    The Champions are celebrating together at a Liar's Night party at the Wayside Inn when suddenly a masked pickpocket crashes the festivities, stealing magical items and escaping into the night...
Our second Year 9 Event is here! Sometimes it feels like the Wayside Inn gets targeted every year by a masked pickpocket. Strange...

Liar's Night 9 introduces the King of Shadows, available with the event launch today, and brings a rework for Farideh, available on October 8th.

For more information on our latest Featured Champions and the event, read on!

Featured Champions

King of Shadows

Once the noble guardian of the ancient elven empire of Illefarn, a cataclysmic event twisted this protector, binding him to the corrupting influence of the Shadow Weave. Now, as the King of Shadows, he commands legions of spectral Shadow Reavers and wields potent shadow magic. Driven by a warped sense of purpose tied to Illefarn's downfall and the dangerous power of the Shadow Weave, he seeks to engulf Neverwinter and beyond in an eternal night. His very being embodies the perversion of ancient power and the terrifying potential of unchecked darkness, making him a uniquely formidable and tragic antagonist.


Learn more about King of Shadows in his Champion Spotlight.

Farideh

Abandoned as an infant and adopted by an outcast dragonborn warrior, Farideh grew up to adulthood acutely aware of the drawbacks of being a tiefling. While those from the Nine Hells do their utmost to corrupt her, Farideh isn't interested in power so much as defending the world from demons, the undead, and any other villains trying to bring trouble or drag her friends and family into danger.


Learn more about Farideh in her Champion Spotlight when it launches this Friday, October 3rd.

New Champion: King of Shadows 
Posted in Idle Champions.
Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, king of shadows, liar's night.

    Once the noble guardian of the ancient elven empire of Illefarn, a cataclysmic event twisted this protector, binding him to the corrupting influence of the Shadow Weave. Now, as the King of Shadows, he commands legions of spectral Shadow Reavers and wields potent shadow magic. Driven by a warped sense of purpose tied to Illefarn's downfall and the dangerous power of the Shadow Weave, he seeks to engulf Neverwinter and beyond in an eternal night. His very being embodies the perversion of ancient power and the terrifying potential of unchecked darkness, making him a uniquely formidable and tragic antagonist.
The King of Shadows is a Support, Tanking, and DPS Champion that goes through three phases, with the advancement to the next phase happening when he is defeated. The power of his Tanking and DPS abilities increases the longer you can delay his advancement to the next phase. His Shadow Plague ability further augments his Tanking abilities, but actively drains health from Champions next to him in formation!

That's right - the antagonist of Neverwinter Nights 2 has joined Idle Champions as our latest evil-aligned Champion! To learn all about the King of Shadows, read on!

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Shadow Strike (melee/magic) - The King of Shadows slashes the closest enemies, then blasts the enemy with the most health.

Passive Abilities

  • Corrupted Guardian - The King of Shadows is Undead and counts as 'dead' for the purposes of effects that care about dead Champions, but 'alive' for all other purposes.
  • Phase One: The Watcher - When you complete an area with the King of Shadows leading the formation from the front, he updates his current Toughness and Brutality stacks to the completed area number. When the King of Shadows is defeated for the first time, he immediately returns to full health, his Toughness stacks no longer update, and he enters Phase Two. When the King of Shadows is defeated for the second time, he immediately returns to full health, his Brutality stacks no longer update, and he enters Phase Three. His size increases by 25% each time he enters a new phase. Other abilities grant additional buffs upon gaining these new phases.

Formation Abilities

  • Power of the King - The King of Shadows increases the damage of himself and Champions in the two columns behind him by 100%. This is increased by 100% each time the King of Shadows' max health is doubled, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Shadow Plague - The King of Shadows damages all adjacent Champions for 4% of their max health each second, as long as the Champions have at least 20% of their max health remaining. Each time The King of Shadows successfully deals damage in this manner, he gains a Shadow Plague stack. Each Shadow Plague stack increases his own max health by 4%, stacking additively. Stacks cap at 250 and reset when changing areas.
  • Phase Two: The Warden - After the King of Shadows enters Phase Two, his health is increased by 1% for each Toughness stack he collected, stacking additively. He also increases the health of all other Champions by 25% of his max health, and healing effects on all Champions are increased by 25%.
  • Shadow Reavers - After the King of Shadows enters Phase Two, he summons a Shadow Reaver each time he uses his ultimate. An additional Shadow Reaver is summoned for every 500 Toughness stacks he has. Each Shadow Reaver attacks a random enemy once every 5 seconds, dealing 5 seconds of BUD-based damage. The Shadow Reavers last for 1 second plus 0.1 seconds for each Toughness stack he has. Using his ultimate again before the Shadow Reavers expire causes their duration to be refreshed to max.
  • Phase Three: The Warrior - After the King of Shadows enters Phase Three, his damage is increased by 5% for each Brutality stack, stacking multiplicatively.

Specializations A

  • Master of Pawns - Increases the effect of Power of the King by 100%.
  • Shadow Unleashed - Increases the effect of Phase Three: The Warrior by 1000%.

Specializations B

  • Legacy of Illefarn - Increases the effect of Power of the King by 100% for each Elf, Dwarf, Half-Elf, and/or Human Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Embrace the Shadow Weave - Increases the effect of Power of the King by 200% for each Evil Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Rites of Survival - Increases the effect of Power of the King by 300% for each Champion with the Healing role, stacking multiplicatively. Additionally, Shadow Plague no longer has a minimum health at which Champions will not be damaged, and the Shadow Plague stack cap is doubled.

Ultimate Attack

  • Cradle of Rime (magic) - The King of Shadows blasts all enemies with cold and necrotic energies, slowing their movement for a short while.
