New Champion: Tess  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Tess grew up in a small village where she wreaked havoc as an amateur thief (she stole to see if she could, not because she wanted to keep the items - mostly), before her parents sent her to be trained by an aging halfling rogue named Mel. Under Mel’s mentorship, Tess became a professional infiltrator, using her skills for good. Now she’s formed her own adventuring party and is actively molding them into the heroes she knows they can be.
Tess is a Support Champion who leads by example, buffing the damage of all Champions behind her. This expert in traps has a plan for everything, increasing your formation's damage if she is given companions with a diverse set of roles. Tess can always be found with the Fallbacks' Otyugh companion Uggie nearby.

For more information about the leader of the Fallbacks, read on...

Champion Update: Krond  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Krond was born of a union between an academic human wizard and a mighty orc fighter who led a nomadic orc community. Raised as a fearsome warrior and arcane scholar, he studied these arts with equal passion. Krond's parents tragically lost their lives protecting their family and friends during an enemy raid. This moment changed Krond, and he swore revenge upon the world. Taking up an ancestral warhammer called Unity, Krond set out to make things right, one way or another.
Krond has been reworked to become a true Support, greatly increasing his versatility, while still allowing him to be a DPS Champion.

For all the details on this Champion Update for Krond, read on!

Vecna: Eve of Ruin Part 8 
Posted in Idle Champions.

At the behest of the Wizards Three, the Champions have ventured across the multiverse in search of pieces of the Rod of Seven Parts.

Now, it's time to assemble the rod. And time for a traitor to strike.

Part 8 of the Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign takes the party to Pandesmos, the topmost layer of Pandemonium, where they will face the greatest threat the multiverse has ever faced - and an ancient enemy, sealed away by the Rod a long, long time ago.

Note: You will need to have completed the previous two Vecna: Eve of Ruin adventures, Hellbound and The Red Belvedere, in order to access these new adventures.

Campaign: Vecna: Eve of Ruin

The Rod of Seven Parts

Assemble the completed rod and discover what happens next.
  • Complete area 1100

Variant: The House Always Wins

Assemble the completed rod while under the threat of a giant roulette ball.
  • The formation slots are colored Red, Black and two glowing Green slots.
  • A giant roulette ball joins the formation as an escort.
  • Starting upon entering area 101, and every 100 areas thereafter, the giant roulette ball jumps up and spins around in a circle above the formation before landing on a random formation slot, removing that Champion and all other Champions that are in a formation slot of the same color. Removed Champions can't be used for the rest of the adventure, and the ball stays in that slot until it moves again.
  • Champions can't otherwise be removed from the formation once they've been added.
  • Complete Area 1150

Variant: Double or Nothing

Assemble the completed rod and gain a beneficial Windfall.
  • The formation slots are colored Red, Black and two glowing Green slots.
  • A giant roulette ball joins the formation as an escort.
  • Starting upon entering area 76, and every 75 areas thereafter, the giant roulette ball jumps up and spins around in a circle above the formation before landing on a random formation slot, removing that Champion and all other Champions that are in a formation slot of the same color. Removed Champions can't be used for the rest of the adventure, and the ball stays in that slot until it moves again.
  • Champions can't otherwise be removed from the formation once they've been added.
  • Click damage only deals damage (including Fire Breath effects) for the first 25 areas
  • Fire breath potions can't be used during the adventure.
  • Complete Area 1200
  • Unlocks Windfall (Evergreen Champion)

Trek across Pandemonium in search of Vecna.
  • Complete area 1150

Variant: Panda-monium

Trek across Panda-monium in search of Vecna.
  • Every wave spawns 1-2 Illusory Fancy Red Pandas. They don't drop gold, nor count towards quest progress.
  • Every time a Red Panda is defeated, enemy damage and movement speed is increased by 50%, stacking multiplicatively and resetting when changing areas. You may only use Evil Champions, as only Evil Champions have the heart to attack these adorable Red Pandas. You should be ashamed of yourself for encouraging this behavior.
  • Complete Area 1200

New Evergreen Champion: Windfall

    A dedicated champion of Tiamat, Windfall has been granted phenomenal power by her master. She is the proprietor of the Red Belvedere, a monument to Tiamat and a remnant of Avernus's original existence as a bucolic paradise designed to tempt mortals. Its edifice was destroyed in the carnage of the Blood War, but Windfall rebuilt the casino and rededicated it to the Dragon Queen as a celebration of her god's greed and vanity. Windfall is ostentatious and charismatic, making small talk with regular patrons and jovially welcoming new faces to the casino. She once plotted to assemble the Rod of Seven Parts to create a gift for her cruel goddess, but has instead joined the Champions at Tiamat's behest.

Learn about Windfall in their Champion Spotlight!

Champion Update: Yorven  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    When Yorven came across the Witchlight Carnival he managed to convince the owners to bring him on board. When the Witchlight Carnival returned to the Feywild years later, Yorven moved on, seeking his childhood home - and the hags who banished him.

The ever grimdark Yorven Springpaw has received a major update to modernize his design, give him a special Witchlight-focused niche, and a stronger Support role.

Learn all about this Yorven update below!
