New Champion: Cazrin  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Cazrin is the ray of sunshine in the party, the eternal optimist, the friendly ear or the shoulder to cry on. She is passionate about magic, knowledge, and learning, always experimenting or testing new theories. Growing up, Cazrin’s family feared and forbade the study of magic because of an ancestress who misused her power, so Cazrin was forced to teach herself and eventually leave her family behind to pursue her dreams. Intelligent but inexperienced, she has embraced a life of adventuring to gather the thrills and experiences that as a child she could only read about in books.
Cazrin is a Support and DPS Champion that collects books as she adventures with the Fallbacks' faithful companion, Uggie. Her Sunny Disposition increases the damage of Champions in her column and the columns in front of her, and she's always ready to protect herself with Mage Armor.

To learn about the Fallbacks DPS champion arriving on September 3rd, read on!

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Magic Missile (magic) - Cazrin fires 2 magic missiles at random enemies, preferring different targets if possible

Passive Abilities

  • Uggie! - Uggie joins the party, starting next to Cazrin unless she's already in the formation next to another Fallbacks Champion. Uggie increases the damage of all non-adjacent Champions by 100%.

Formation Abilities

  • Library of Lore - Whenever a boss is defeated for the first time in an adventure, it drops a Book that Cazrin collects. Subsequent kills of the same boss have a 10% chance of dropping an additional Book. The maximum number of Books that can be collected during a single adventure is the highest area reached divided by 5, rounded down. Cazrin keeps track of both the number of Books she has collected in the current adventure, as well as the size of her Library, which is the number of Books she has collected across all adventures. Cazrin's damage is increased by 10% for each book in her Library, stacking additively. Each time her Library reaches a new order of magnitude, the base buff is multiplicatively increased by 100%.
  • Sunny Disposition - Cazrin increases the damage of all Champions in her column (including herself) and the columns in front of her by 100%.
  • Unctuous Uggie - Uggie's buff is increased by 400% when Cazrin is in the formation.
  • Mage Armor - The first time anyone in the formation takes damage in each area, Cazrin casts Mage Armor on herself. Champions affected by Mage Armor decrease the damage they take by 25%.
  • In Search of Knowledge - Cazrin's attacks and abilities gain additional effects based on the number of Books that she has collected in the current adventure.
    • 10+ Books: Cazrin fires an additional Magic Missile with her base attack.
    • 40+ Books: Increase the effect of Sunny Disposition by 5% for each Book she has collected in the current adventure, stacking multiplicatively.
    • 80+ Books: Cazrin fires an additional Magic Missile with her base attack.
    • 120+ Books: When triggered, Mage Armor is now cast on all Champions in the formation instead of just Cazrin.
    • 160+ Books: Increase the effect of Unctuous Uggie by 1% for each Book Cazrin has collected in the current adventure, stacking additively.
    • 200+ Books: Support Champions affected by Mage Armor have a 40% chance to deal an additional 5 seconds of BUD damage with each normal attack hit.
    • 240+ Books: Mage Armor's damage prevention is increased to 50%.
    • 300+ Books: For each Tanking Champion affected by Mage Armor, the effect of Sunny Disposition is increased by 400%, stacking multiplicatively.

Specializations A

  • Self Taught - Cazrin increases the damage bonus of Sunny Disposition by 100% for each Fallbacks Champion and/or Champions with a Melee and/or Ranged base attack in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Ancestor's Shadow - Cazrin increases the damage bonus of Sunny Disposition by 100% for each Fallbacks Champion and/or Good Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Lost in the Library - Whenever a boss drops a Book, Cazrin collects 3 Books. The maximum number of Books she can collect during this adventure is tripled, but In Search of Knowledge's per Book damage boost to Sunny Disposition is reduced from 5% to 1.65%.

Specializations B

  • Signature Smell - When Uggie is with Cazrin, each damage increase that Uggie! would normally apply to other members of the formation instead applies to Cazrin herself, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Smell Mastery - When Uggie is with Cazrin, In Search of Knowledge's per-Book bonus for Sunny Disposition is increased by 100%.

Champion Update: Lazaapz  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Born in The Cogs beneath Sharn's Lower City, Lazaapz's remarkable intellect elevated her to the Tradefair district, where her mechanical genius became highly sought after by the Dragonmarked Houses. Lazaapz's first invention was a functional mechanical arm to replace the one she was born without; now she leads an elite team of engineers in cutting-edge research and development.

    Following the discovery of a mysterious Eldritch Machine, Lazaapz was brought in by House Cannith to ascertain the purpose of the device. Shortly after, both Lazaapz and the machine disappeared, never to be seen again.
Lazaapz has received a rework, which arrives on August 13! Learn all about the update below...

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Stunning Gauntlet (melee) - Lazaapz attacks and stuns the nearest enemy. Every fifth attack, she uses her Grappling Fist to pull an enemy closer to her instead.

Formation Abilities

  • Fury of the Small - Lazaapz's posse is Champions that are from smaller species: dwarves, fairies, gnomes, goblins, halflings, kobolds, and/or plasmoids. Lazaapz increases the damage of her posse by 100% for each posse member in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Power Armor - Lazaapz has a set of Artificer Power Armor. She starts each area with 100 stacks of Power Armor. Damage taken by Lazaapz is decreased by a percentage equal to her current Power Armor stacks, but the armor consumes 1 stack of Power Armor each time she would take damage. Can not be decreased below 0.
  • Contingency Plan - When Lazaapz's Power Armor stacks reach 0, her armor sends out a massive shockwave, dealing 120 seconds of BUD damage to all enemies and pushing them back to the far side of the screen. Lazaapz then drops her shield and retreats to behind the formation, her armor shuts down, and she begins to repair it, taking 10 seconds for each time the armor has shut down in the current area (including this time). Upon finishing her work, she leaps back to her original location, knocking back any enemies that she encounters on her way, grabbing her shield, and refilling her Power Armor stacks to full.
  • Artificer Infusion - Lazaapz infuses the equipment of other Champions in the formation with her Artificer powers. Infused equipment has its item level increased by 125. The equipment slot that is affected is equal to each Champions' exact distance from Lazaapz, so for example adjacent Champions (1 slot away) have their slot 1 equipment infused, while Champions 2 slots away have their slot 2 equipment infused, and so on.
  • Shield of Sharn - Lazaapz increases the max health of all other Champions by 25% of her base max health and healing effects on all Champions are increased by 25%.

Specializations A

  • Fury of the Brawl - Lazaapz's posse now also includes Champions with a melee base attack and is buffed by 100% (post-stack).
  • Fury of the Cabal - Lazaapz's posse now also includes Evil Champions and is buffed by 150% (post-stack).
  • Fury of the Stall - Lazaapz's posse now also includes Champions with the Control role and is buffed by 150% (post-stack).

Specializations B

  • Guardian - Lazaapz gains the Debuff role and increases Power Armor's max stacks by 25. Lazaapz fires her gauntlet in a line each time she loses 25 Power Armor stacks. Enemies hit take 15 seconds of BUD damage, gain a debuff, and are knocked back. The debuff causes enemies to take 1000% extra damage from all sources, and stacks multiplicatively up to 5 times.
  • Infiltrator - The effect of Fury of the Small is increased by 5% for each missing stack of Power Armor, stacking multiplicatively, and when an enemy is defeated, Lazaapz regains one stack of Power Armor. She cannot exceed her maximum stacks this way.

Ultimate Ability

  • Flash of Genius (magic) - For a short duration, Lazaapz increases her equipment buff and deals ultimate damage with her attacks.

New Champion: Baldric  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Baldric left his position as a prominent member of his family’s mercantile empire to seek his fortunes elsewhere. He’s a unique cleric who often confounds other clerics because he refuses to pledge his service or faith to a single deity. He prefers to bargain with any and all of them, depending on the situation, to receive his magic. This has lent him a cocky confidence that has landed him in his share of trouble. But now he’s with the Fallbacks, and over the course of their adventures, his faith in them has become unshakable.
Baldric is a Support and Healing Champion who helps his affiliation members and those with high Charisma. He heals Champions in the columns in front of him, and his specialization choices grant him diverse abilities from assorted deities.

For more information about the second Fallbacks Champion coming on August 6, read on!

Abilities

  • Two-Handed Mace (melee) - Baldric attacks the closest enemy, dealing 1 hit.

Passive Abilities

  • Uggie! - Uggie joins the party, starting next to Baldric unless she's already in the formation next to another Fallbacks Champion. Uggie increases the damage of all non-adjacent Champions by 100%

Formation Abilities

  • Bargaining Power - Baldric's bargaining partners are Fallbacks Champions and/or Champions with Charisma of 15 or higher. Baldric increases the damage of his bargaining partners by 100% for each bargaining partner in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Undeniable Uggie - Uggie's buff is increased by 400% when Baldric is in the formation.
  • Healing Word - Baldric heals the Champions in all the columns in front of him for 20 health per second.

  • Healing Lantern - When any Champion drops to or below 50% of their maximum health, Baldric lights his lantern for the rest of the current area, and all healing received by Champions in the formation is increased by 100% for each Healing Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

Specializations A

You will pick from this specialization choice set twice. When presented with the second set of specializations, the choice you made the first time is replaced with the associated Dark Bargain, which has a different effect based on the option it is replacing. There are effectively 15 different combinations of specialization choices you can choose. (Tyr + Moradin is the same as Moradin + Tyr)
  • Bargain With Tyr - Baldric increases the pre-stack bonus of Bargaining Power by 50%.
  • Bargain With Moradin - You may use any Dwarf Champion in the current adventure, even if the Patron, Variant, or other restrictions would say otherwise. Additionally, Dwarf Champions also count as Baldric's bargaining partners.
  • Bargain With Tymora - Baldric gains the Gold Find role and increases the party's gold find by 100% for each bargaining partner, stacking multiplicatively. Additionally, Champions with the Gold Find role also count as Baldric's bargaining partners.
  • Bargain With Mystra - Baldric's base attack also deals 5 seconds of BUD-based damage and counts as a magic attack. Additionally, Champions with a magic base attack also count as Baldric's bargaining partners.
  • Bargain With Eldath - Baldric increases the effect of Healing Word by 100%. Additionally, Champions with the Healing role also count as Baldric's bargaining partners.

Specializations B

These five options are the Dark Bargains that you are offered in the second round of specialization choices. You are only offered one of these, based on the specialization you chose in the first set. You can pick the Dark Bargain you are offered, or pick one of the four Bargain With... specs that you didn't pick in the first round.
  • Dark Bargain (When Tyr was chosen) - Baldric increases the pre-stack bonus of Bargaining Power by an additional 50%, but the effect of Healing Word is reduced by 99%.
  • Dark Bargain (When Moradin was chosen) - The damage of Dwarf Champions is increased by 100% for each Dwarf in the formation, stacking multiplicatively, but you may only have one of each non-Dwarf species in the formation.
  • Dark Bargain (When Tymora was chosen) - Bosses have a 10% chance to drop twice as many gems, but non-boss area quest requirements are increased by 100%.
  • Dark Bargain (When Mystra was chosen) - All Champions with magic base attacks deal an additional 5 seconds of BUD-based damage with each attack, but all Champions without a magic base attack no longer deal any damage with their base attacks.
  • Dark Bargain (When Eldath was chosen) - Champions are immune to damage for 15 seconds after the first instance of damage that they would take in every area (including that damage), but take 100% additional damage from all sources after that.

Ultimate Ability

  • Faith Aflame - Baldric's mace ignites with radiant light, preventing Champions from being stunned and empowering his attacks for the duration it is aflame
