Highharvestide & 9th Anniversary Celebration! 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Faerûn's Savage Frontier has no shortage of dangers, but that hasn't stopped the citizens of Triboar from carving out a living in this picturesque stretch of fertile northern farmland.

    This year, however, the people of Triboar are in need of aid. As the Highharvestide Festival approaches, bandits have begun causing trouble for farmers attempting to bring in their harvests, and it's up to the Champions to put an end to it!

Highharvestide returns with one New Champion and three fresh rebalances! Caramon Majere, Raistlin's twin brother, and the latest Heroes of the Lance Champion to come to the game, is available to unlock today!

Instead of a single reworked Champion this month, THREE of this event's Champions have had targeted rebalances, pumping up their numbers to make them more effective in your formations. You'll find updates to Stoki, Pwent, and Corazón available for flex slots now!

For more information about this year's Highharvestide Event, read on!

Featured Champion

Caramon

Born strong of arm and broad of shoulder with a heart of gold, Caramon Majere is the Sword to his younger twin brother Raistlin's Sorcery. Loyal to a fault, Caramon gives his all to protect his beloved friends and family, even (and often) to his detriment. Together with his fellow Heroes of the Lance, Caramon wields his brute strength tempered with good morals against Takhisis, the Dragon Queen.


Learn more about Caramon in his Champion Spotlight.

Stoki Rebalance

  • We've rebalanced Stoki with a focus on making her gold find ability more comparable to other gold find Champions in her seat whose names start with "Er" and end with "ic".
  • We've adjusted Golden Palm to make it more competitive with other Champions in the same bench seat. The base value has been slightly lowered, but it now stacks multiplicatively, allowing for a much higher ceiling.
  • Building Focus: Encouragement has been buffed to reduce the base attack cooldown of adjacent Champions by 1 second instead of 0.5 seconds.
  • We've made the feat and equipment buffs to Stoki's specializations buff the pre-stack values instead of the post-stack values. This has necessitated some small tweaks to her specialization stacks and base effects:
    • All Out Assault now only counts attacks within the last 5 seconds instead of 10, but the base value is twice as large, so it works out to roughly the same values unbuffed, and significantly more when buffed by equipment.
    • We've made a similar change to A Little Bit Faster Now, halving the stacks but doubling the base value.
  • We have redone all of Stoki's upgrades.

Pwent Rebalance

  • We've rebalanced Pwent with a focus on increasing his flexibility and power in both Companions of the Hall and Dwarf-based formations.
  • Gutbuster Recruits now only loses half its stacks when changing areas, instead of all of its stacks. This should increase Pwent's effectiveness when completing areas near your wall.
  • Bruenor, Me King! can now be buffed by feats and equipment, and these buffs apply to the pre-stack value.
  • We've adjusted some of Pwent's specializations to realize more power for dwarf-centered formations:
    • Recruiting Drive now causes crits from any Dwarves in the formation to always count towards Gutbuster Recruits.
    • Critical Wound's critical hit chance increase is now doubled for Dwarves.
  • We have redone all of Pwent's upgrades.

Corazón Rebalance

  • We've rebalanced Corazón with a focus on increasing his support number.
  • Pirate's Code's effect has been increased based on the number of Champions affected by it, with this additional effect being buffed pre-stack by feats and equipment.
  • Honorary Crewmates now buffs the base effect of Pirate's Code based on how many non-neutral Champions it makes neutral.
  • G.O.A.T. Pirate has been tweaked to increase its potential. It no longer lasts until reset, but now stacks multiplicatively with a higher base effect and reset when a boss area is completed.
  • The Mage Hand specialization now causes Corazón's base attack to also be Magical, allowing him to be used in magic-centered formations.
  • We have redone all of Corazón's upgrades.

Event Augments for Highharvestide 2026

    Every tier two or higher event variant completed automatically applies 100 Tiny Blacksmithing Contracts to the variant's Champion's equipment for free!

The Bastion System

Recently, we've focused a lot on challenging content for long-time players with Mastery Challenges and Mastery Variants. The Bastion system is different: it's designed for everyone, with a particular focus on helping newer players find their way through Idle Champions.

Have you ever found yourself wondering...
  • What should I tackle next?
  • What systems haven't I unlocked yet?
  • Where was that feature again?
Your Bastion is here to help. The Bastion system is a new pathing and navigation system that guides you through Idle Champions' many features and brings them together in one convenient place. Whether you're discovering the game for the first time or you're a seasoned adventurer looking for what to tackle next, your Bastion can help point the way.

Join David and Justin on Dev Insights this Thursday at 2 PM PT for a deeper dive!
