Idle Champions: Feast of the Moon 9  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    The party descends into an infamous crypt filled with the tombs of local heroes to pay homage to their deeds during the Feast of the Moon. Unfortunately, the dead are restless, rising from their slumber as undead and gathering deep in the crypt for some unknown nefarious purpose...

    Fight your way through the risen heroes of yore as your party descends into the dark depths of
    The Crypt of Legends. Seek out whatever is responsible for this undead uprising, and put an end to it for good!
Feast of the Moon has returned, and with it, a new Evil Magic-User Champion in the form of Skylla the Warlock, whom you may remember from the League of Malevolence and the Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign!

The second Featured Champion for Feast of the Moon 9 is Havilar, the Battlemaster Fighter and twin sister of Farideh. Players will be able to learn more about the Havilar Champion Update when the blog goes live on Thursday, November 6.

Learn more about today's update below...

Featured Champions

Skylla

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.
Learn more about Skylla in her Champion Spotlight.

Havilar

Havilar's twin sister Farideh has always been 'the smart one' and 'the responsible one'—but that's all right, Havilar is definitely 'the tough one,' 'the funny one' and the 'pretty one' (despite being identical twins). Plus, Havilar has a hellhound! Even if it means she's a sort-of-but-not-quite Chosen of Asmodeus, too, not that anyone asked Havi about that. But he should know her glaive is as good as her right hand, and she can slice a devil just as well as an orc, a zombie, or any other villain!
Learn more about Havilar when her blog post goes live on Thursday, November 6th.

New Champion: Skylla  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    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: 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.

FAQ

How do I participate in the Easter Egg Hunt?
Talk to the NPC under the Easter Egg Hunt banner to be teleported to the hunting zone.

What do I do in the Easter Egg Hunt zone?
Click on all the crates, barrels, rocks and bushes trying to find as many eggs as you can. There are only 20 eggs hidden in all the doodads.

How do I get a perfect score in the Easter Egg Hunt?
You need to collect all 20 eggs - basically not letting any of the other hunters find any.

I'm too slow at the Hunt. How can I be better?
The NPC with the wizard hat in the event area of the Commons sells boosts for Easter Tokens. Speed up your character and distract the other hunters with his wares. Also, travel in a circle, starting in the area closest to where everyone else is being distracted. And don't click on the searchable items themselves, click beside them. Clicking on the item causes you to walk slower.

When will the last quest unlock?
All quests will be unlocked by the 10th day of the event.

What contributes to my 100% progress?
Turning in the Unpainted Eggs, the Dye and the Wax as well as completing the Easter Egg Hunt and the quests for the folks in the event area.

Why do I want to ask friends for help?
It increases the amount of progress you get from doing a turn-in.

Do I have to do the achievements?
No. Completing the goals for the achievements is totally optional. You get either a large energy pack or a title for your character from them, no event progress.

Where can I see the achievements available and how to get them?
Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.

When can I do the World Wide Easter Egg Hunt?
The World Wide Easter Egg Hunt starts on the second Friday of the event - April 18th - and lasts for the rest of the event.

Where do I find World Wide Easter Egg Hunt Eggs?
Once the hunt has started, you can find eggs by clicking them in many of the zones in the world. Eggs are hidden behind rocks and trees and in tricky to access locations in normal zones, secret areas, and adventure zones all over the world. Not every area has an egg hidden in it. There are 90 eggs hidden throughout the world in total, but you'll need to be done most of the content in the game to find them all.

Feast of the Moon is here with another Absolute Adversary: Minthara Baenre! This former Lolth-Sworn Drow Paladin was sent from Menzoberranzan to investigate the Cult of the Absolute, only to end up becoming a True Soul of the Absolute herself.

Our first Featured Champion for Feast of the Moon, Minthara, launches with the event today. Our second Featured Champion arrives next week when Sergeant Alphonse Knox receives his Rebalance on Wednesday, November 13. For more information on Feast of the Moon 8, read on...

Featured Champions

Minthara

    Minthara, once a House Matron from the esteemed House Baenre in Menzoberranzan, was cast aside by the Absolute after failing to recover a powerful and mysterious artifact. Having broken free from the Absolute's control, she now harbors an intense hatred for her former master. Fueled by vengeance and a desire to reclaim her lost honor, Minthara channels her dark powers and cunning to oppose the Absolute and any who stand in her way.



Minthara Baenre is a Support, Debuff, and Tanking Champion who excels in formations with other Evil Champions. She provides resilience to other Champions and amplifies damage dealt to enemies. For details on this Nightwarden of House Baenre, read on!

Sgt. Knox

    The imposing presence of Sergeant Knox came to Neverwinter when the Mintarn mercenaries were hired to retake the city following the eruption of Mount Hotenow. Soon he became a daily presence and mentor for new Adventurers in the city. Celeste reached out to her old friend following the catastrophic events at Elturel, hoping the veteran mercenary would join the Champions as they face the greatest foe the Sword Coast has ever seen!

FAQ

How do I participate in the Easter Egg Hunt?
Talk to the NPC under the Easter Egg Hunt banner to be teleported to the hunting zone.

What do I do in the Easter Egg Hunt zone?
Click on all the crates, barrels, rocks and bushes trying to find as many eggs as you can. There are only 20 eggs hidden in all the doodads.

How do I get a perfect score in the Easter Egg Hunt?
You need to collect all 20 eggs - basically not letting any of the other hunters find any.

I’m too slow at the Hunt. How can I be better?
The NPC with the wizard hat in the event area of the Commons sells boosts for Easter Tokens. Speed up your character and distract the other hunters with his wares. Also, travel in a circle, starting in the area closest to where everyone else is being distracted. And don't click on the searchable items themselves, click beside them. Clicking on the item causes you to walk slower.

When will the last quest unlock?
All quests will be unlocked by the 10th day of the event.

What contributes to my 100% progress?
Turning in the Unpainted Eggs, the Dye and the Wax as well as completing the Easter Egg Hunt and the quests for the folks in the event area.

Why do I want to ask friends for help?
It increases the amount of progress you get from doing a turn-in.

Do I have to do the achievements?
No. Completing the goals for the achievements is totally optional. You get either a large energy pack or a title for your character from them, no event progress.

Where can I see the achievements available and how to get them?
Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.

When can I do the World Wide Easter Egg Hunt?
The World Wide Easter Egg Hunt starts on the second Friday of the event - April 14th - and lasts for the rest of the event.

Where do I find World Wide Easter Egg Hunt Eggs?
Once the hunt has started, you can find eggs by clicking them in many of the zones in the world. Eggs are hidden behind rocks and trees and in tricky to access locations in normal zones, secret areas, and adventure zones all over the world. Not every area has an egg hidden in it. There are 90 eggs hidden throughout the world in total, but you'll need to be done most of the content in the game to find them all.

Idle Champions: Feast of the Moon 6 
Posted in Idle Champions.

During Feast of the Moon, residents of the Sword Coast pay homage to the deeds of legendary heroes by visiting their crypts and graves.

When the Champions arrive at The Crypt of Legends, they find hordes of undead crawling up from the depths. Something is making the dead heroes rise, and the answer will require a descent into the depths to discover the cause...

Feast of the Moon 6 introduces Virgil, the aasimar storm sorcerer and member of the Rivals of Waterdeep. This event also brings back two Heroes of the Planes: Penelope "Half-Pint", the Circle of the Moon Druid/Warlock, and Widdle, the dhampir gnome wizard! Players have until Monday, November 21st at 12PM Pacific to complete your Feast of the Moon 6 unlocks and objectives.

New Champion: Virgil

Dungeons & Dragons Virgil Brian

    With unexpected and unwelcome Celestial heritage, Virgil was always trying to get away from both his past and a disapproving family. He put his talents to work on the sea, traveling with crews who he hoped would ask nothing more than that he earn his keep by way of his magic. Eventually he grew tired of wandering and ended up in the quiet lakeside town of Caradoon, thinking he might put down roots. But that all changed when he met and fell for a kindred spirit in the form of a charming and witty Tiefling named Kent. After some over-enthusiastic handling of the local tavern's rat problem, they found themselves on the move again. Fortunately they met Selise Astorio of the Rivals of Waterdeep, and while quickly becoming entangled in the group's adventures they discovered a new family and a new home.

Virgil is a support and speed Champion who is the master of lightning speeds! He makes the attacks of adjacent Champions faster, and speeds up progress if the formation is quickly dispatching enemies. Find out more about him and and his abilities by checking out his full Champion Spotlight!

Year Six Variants



  • Eye of the Storm - Virgil begins in the formation and can't be moved or removed. Only Champions next to Virgil can deal damage.
    Reach Area 75

  • An Inseparable Bond - Virgil begins in the formation and can't be removed, but can be moved. You may only use Champions with a Wisdom of 12 or higher.
    Reach Area 125

  • Freak Weather Conditions - Virgil begins in the formation and can't be removed, but can be moved. Every 5 areas the weather drastically changes. While snowing, all Champions' normal attack cooldown speeds are increased by 5 seconds. While thundering, a bolt of lightning strikes a random Champion every 5 seconds dealing damage equal to 50% of their max health and stunning them for 5 seconds. While foggy, Champions deal no damage with ranged attacks.
    Reach Area 175
