BW2: Endangered Species Mini Event VIII! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Endangered Species - Eighth Encounter

Habitats are changing, and it's endangering many different animal species. Carson Tiva has found that three different endangered species can currently be found in Bushwhackia, as they search for new places to live.

Three Endangered Species

Przewalskis Horse - An endangered horse at risk from hunting, and harsh winters.

Golden Mole - A critically endangered mole which is also known as the shark of the dunes!

Pink Fairy Armadillo - A super rare and endangered armadillo and is the smallest armadillo species in the world!



Collect Conservation Data

Like you did during Carson's last visit, apply your bush whacking skills to help them collect Conservation Data on these unique animals for the limited time they're here. To gather data, you just have to give them a whack with your sword or other whacking implement. With said data, Carson Tiva can use it to try and help what's left of these unique animals.

Which species you encounter in the fields will be random, so if you fall behind in finding one of the three animals, you can start one of Carson Tiva's pursuit quests. You can do one pursuit quest every 20 hours.

Earn Rewards

Your efforts will not go unrewarded! Carson Tiva will trade you for this data in their store, plus you'll earn a unique plaque for your contributions! Like event ribbons, this plaque will increase your maximum energy based on your performance.

Collect data, complete the achievements, and earn rewards!

In addition to a new set of species, Bush Buck Bundle, and energy boosting plaque, you can earn a new Elephant Gnome ranch item reward!

Limited Time Only

Go to the event area of the Commons to get started, and gather as much data as you can before noon on Tuesday January 7th, Pacific Time!

2025 Champion Spotlight: Mehen 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Mehen is a tall, powerful dragonborn with dull-ocher scales and a blunt attitude. With strong opinions on the right course of action, he is just as comfortable yelling orders on the battlefield as he is fiercely protecting his daughters. Despite a life thrown into turmoil after being exiled from his clan and attempting to raise twin tieflings, Mehen remains resilient in his sense of self and his abilities with a falchion.
Verthisathurgiesh Mehen has been greatly reworked with this update. He is no less grumpy, but he should now be much easier to use -- assuming you can find the perfect spot for him in your formation!

For details on the Mehen Rework, read on...

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Double Strike (melee) - Mehen leaps out and attacks a random enemy, swinging down and then up with a second swing, scoring a hit each time.

Passive Abilities

  • Always By Your Side - When Mehen is in the formation, Farideh and Havilar become eligible for the current adventure, even if a Patron, Variant, or other restriction would say otherwise.

Formation Abilities

  • Grumpy - Mehen gains a stack of Grumpy for each of the following checks that is met. He increases the damage of all Champions in the formation by 100% for each stack of Grumpy he has, stacking multiplicatively.
    • Adjacent to Farideh
    • At least two columns behind Havilar
    • At the top of the column

    • Within 2 slots of Champions with at least 4 unique classes
    • Within 2 slots of Champions with at least 6 unique roles

  • Intimidating Presence - When a monster tries to attack any Champion in the formation for the first time, the damage is prevented and the monster is stunned for 5 seconds and takes 200% more damage during this time. If the attacked Champion is Havilar, the duration is 10 seconds instead.
  • Gruff - Mehen increases Gold Find of the formation by 100% for every stack of Grumpy that he has, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Expose Weakness - When a Champion adjacent to Mehen applies a stun, knockback, slow, or root, the enemy takes 1000% more damage for 10 seconds. If Farideh is adjacent to Mehen, she prioritizes attacking those enemies. This debuff does not stack, but the duration is extended if it applies again before it expires.

  • Fighting Force - Mehen increases the effect of Grumpy by 100% for each DPS Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applying to the post-stack value.

  • Found Family - Mehen increases the effect of Grumpy by 300% for each Dragonborn Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applying to the post-stack value. Farideh and Havilar both gain the Dragonborn species when this spec is chosen.

Ultimate Ability

  • Lightning Breath (magic) - Mehen breathes a cone of lightning that hits all enemies in the area. If it hits more than 5 enemies, or a boss, it stuns all enemies for 10 seconds.

    Posted in Idle Champions.

    Well met, Champions!

    We have some shop updates to share as we close 2024 and look forward to 2025.

      New Starter Packs: We recently released new Starter Packs featured on the Platinum page of the in-game shop. Packs include the new Scroll of Champion Summoning, which unlocks one event Champion of your choice along with full uncommon gear, 6 Platinum Champion Chests, and a Golden Epic (if you haven’t already purchased a Chest pack for that Champion). Packs also include bonus Platinum and potions to help you explore and progress!
      Platinum Offers Update: On January 10, 2025, the Double Platinum offers on Platinum Packs will be retired and replaced with a new offer: First-time Platinum Pack purchasers will receive an additional 1500 Platinum with their first Platinum Pack purchase. This new offer will be available to all players who install on or after January 10th, 2025.

    If you have been waiting to take advantage of the Double Platinum offer, you still have three weeks before they are retired.

    Idle Champions: 2024 End of Year Update 
    Posted in Idle Champions.

    Welcome to our 2024 End of Year Update!

    First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for supporting Idle Champions this year through some very big transitions. We started the year with our seventh season in January, rolled out Guide and Collections Quests in February, introduced Events 2.0 in March, and transitioned to Platinum in October. It has been a very busy year!

    In this update, we're addressing some long-running player feedback with multiple QoL changes. We're also fixing some over-tuned Champion scaling issues, with dismantles for affected Champions to compensate. While this update does not address everything players have been asking for, there's a lot to be excited about that will make your Idle Champions experience smoother and more fun, no matter what kind of player you are!

    As always, we look forward to reading your feedback on these changes, and we'll see you in 2025!


    Table of Contents


    Active Tasks



    Introducing a new UI feature to help you find your next quest, the Active Tasks Dialog!

    We want this to be a one-stop shop when you question what to do next. From here, you can quickly check which Guide and Collection Quests are closest to being completed, your current Event completion progress, Daily Rewards, and more! The Active Task Dialog will now pop up instead of Daily Rewards on initial load, since they are incorporated into this dialog.

    You can access this dialog from the exclamation mark button above the bench next to the event button.


    UI Changes

    Here are all the upcoming changes to the UI you can expect to see!

    Champion Search Update

    • The Champion Search feature has been updated with a new feature to help you search based on a Champion's attack speed! This can be found in the Base Attack filter as a sliding bar.

    Collections Update

    The following changes have been made to the Collections screen:
    • Added Debuff role to the Champion Collection filter
    • Improved performance of scrolling many collections
    • Added Shiny/Golden indication to the Equipment Collection
    • Added Event to source filter for the Feat Collection
    • Guide and Collection quest box indicates how many quests are ready to turn in
    • Collections: Added new color coding system to progress bars:
        Light Green counts towards Progress
      • Gold counts towards Premium Progress
      • Dark Green does not count towards overall progress
    • Collections: Time Gates no longer counts towards overall progress
    • Collections: Campaign progress now includes progress from campaigns you have not yet unlocked

    Gameplay Changes

    Area Cap Increase

    • We've increased the highest area from 2001 to 2501! Hope your formation is ready to tackle the incredibly powerful monsters in these higher areas!

    New Feats

    We're adding in some highly requested Feats for 2 Champions: Nrakk and Briv!
    • Heightened Focus: Increases the damage of all Champions by 10% and Nrakk's ultimate now hits once and sets his Ki Points to 15 without any mini-game. This will be added to Nrakk's Feat list!

    • Perfect Focus: Increases the damage of all Champions by 200% and Nrakk's ultimate now hits once and sets his Ki Points to 30 without any mini-game. This can be found in Vajra's Patron shop for 100,000 Symbols of Vajra.
      • If both the Heightened Focus and Perfect Focus Feats are equipped, the 30 ki points will take precedence when using the ultimate

    • Accurate Acrobatics: Briv's Unnatural Haste will always skip the guaranteed number of areas, with no chance to skip an additional one. This can be found in Mirt's Patron shop for 100,000 Ruby Coins.
      • Note: The launch for this Feat has been delayed while we address last-minute bugs discovered in testing. We hope to release it before the end of the year.

    Spurt Update

    • We've implemented a cap on Spurt's slot 6 equipment item, Ultimate Cooldown. Its maximum increase is now 5280 seconds while at an item level cap of 21750, without any gilding.
      • We'll be enabling a 1 week full dismantle for Spurt due to this change. All item levels over the cap will be refunded automatically.

    Rust Update

    We've had to change some of Rust's numbers to help balance him; see the changes below.
    • Rust's base effect of his One Gold Piece ability has been changed from 10% to 5%
    • Rust's effect of his "I Know Those Guys" Feat has been changed from 20% to a 10% increase to the effect of One Gold Piece
    • Rust's effect of his "All I Need" Feat changed from 40% to a 20% increase to the effect of One Gold Piece
      • We'll be enabling a 1 week full dismantle for Rust due to these changes.

    Yorven Update

    • We've updated Yorven's Danger Sense ability so that it now targets all Champions in the formation and is no longer positional.

    Dungeon Master Update

    • Dungeon Master's Specialization Special Guest Star has been updated to target the full seat of Champions now rather than 1 singular Champion!

    Fen Update

    • Fen's Patron Oath has been updated so that as long as she is in a party, her Patron's Oath will affect all parties.

    Gem Shop & Store Update

    • Harvestguard Presto will be available for 20,000 gems in the Gem Shop, and the Feat that was available during the Anniversary Celebration (Room to Breathe) is now available for 50,000 gems!
    • Additionally, with this update, we will retire our Starter Packs, replacing them with new ones that include Platinum. You will find them on the Platinum purchase page in the in-game shop.
