Champion Update: Brother Uriah

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, brother uriah, black dice society, Dragondown.

Brother Uriah Macawber is a native of Ravenloft, born in the dread domain of Darkon under the iron rule of Azalin Rex. After a horrifying childhood encounter at the Carnival with the demonic entity known as The Caller, Uriah would embrace the worship of the goddess Ezra, Lady of the Mists, offering protection from the forces of darkness to all those in need. Upon joining with the other future members of The Black Dice Society at the infamous House of Lament, Uriah would go on to find true love with his teammate, the undead Aasimar, Nahara... and would eventually discover the dark truth of both the nature of his deity and his mysterious connection to his former liege, the lich-king Azalin Rex.

Brother Uriah is receiving a major update arriving at the start of the second week of Dragondown, on June 10th. Lets take a look at the new-and-improved Brother Uriah!

BW2: High Score Hustle Community Quest!

High Score Hustle

The Block Builders Bonanza tournament has started in Bushwhackia! Chip has setup an arcade in the Commons' event area and he is gunning for the all-time highest score.

Team up with your fellow Bush Whackers, collect Builder Blocks, and stack up that score!

Block Builders Bonanza

The Block Builders Bonanza is a yearly tournament where teams try to get the highest score by collecting blocks and stacking them into lines.

When collecting Builder Blocks from bushes, if you have the right combination of blocks, your blocks are used to build a line automatically! When a line is built, it'll even tell you how many you've built during the current day of the tournament.

Each day is a different round of the tournament, meaning each day has a different score to build up! Chip will tell you what your score was in past days, so the community can try to beat your collective high-score each day.

Every line made increases your individual progress for this mini-event, but also counts towards the collective goal for the community!

Rare Cartridges

Every line you make earns you a Rare Cartridge, which you can exchange for special items in Ye Rare Cartridge Emporium!

Not every special item is unlocked from the get-go, though. To unlock them, the community has to reach the goal of the corresponding day of the tournament!

Arcade Activity

You have until Monday June 8th to make your contributions AND claim your rewards for this limited-time community quest!

Post your comments and questions here on the forum!

Dragondown Event & Summer Queen Celebration!

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, trixie, brother uriah, dragondown.

It's the Summer Solstice in Faerûn, which means it is time for Dragondown and the Court of the Summer Queen Celebration!

While the City of Waterdeep celebrates Dragondown by burning dragon effigies to symbolize the city's victories over invading dragons, some smaller celebrations focus on ceremonial bonfires and charms, with mock-spells and chanted prayers performed as the sun sets.

But something has gone wrong in Luskan this year, where locals have drawn the ire of a Bronze Dragon and its kin...

Trixie the Pixie, a long-time antagonist to the Champions, often appearing astride a charmed creature and always up to some mischief, finally chooses the winning side and joins the Champions in today's Dragondown Event! Our second Featured Champion, Brother Uriah, will be receiving a significant update, with a new Champion Update blog coming on Friday, June 5th, before his launch next Wednesday, June 10th.

For details on Dragondown Year 9, and the Court of the Summer Queen Celebration, read on!

Featured Champions

Trixie

Trixie the Pixie has been a forgettable nuisance for the Champions for a long time, often appearing astride some charmed creature and always up to some mischief. Ambitious and daring, Trixie desperately grasps at a life larger than she's been given, and blames the Champions for their constant meddling in her affairs. Driven to desperation by her many failed attempts at seizing power and influence, Trixie sets out to try a new scheme. She's seen firsthand that the Champions are always hiring. If she can't beat them, she'll join them!

Learn more about Trixie in her Champion Spotlight.

Brother Uriah

Learn more about Brother Uriah when his Champion Spotlight comes out on June 5th!

Log in over the next week to claim free daily rewards during the Court of the Summer Queen Celebration! Collect any four of seven daily reward Chests to unlock Lazaapz (Seat 9), 3 Gold Lazaapz Chests, and two exclusives: her Summer Court Skin and a powerful Epic Feat!

BW2: Endangered Species Mini Event XI!

Permalink

Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Tags: bw2, may, 2026, mini, event, endangered, species.

Endangered Species - Eleventh 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

Ultramarine Lorikeet - A critically endangered island parrot threatened by invasive species

Jeypore Ground Gecko - An endangered, small lizard native to India, where it inhabits rocky terrain and scrub forest.

Banteng - A critically endangered species of wild cattle native to Southeast Asia.

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 Found Poster 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 June 2nd, Pacific Time!

Introducing Trixie the Pixie

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, trixie, dragondown.

Trixie the Pixie is a Support, Debuff, and Control Champion who provides new options for creating formations with small (fairy, gnome, goblin, halfling, kender, kobold, and plasmoid) Champions. She increases the damage of Champions next to her, and this buff grows as you increase the number of small Champions in your formation. To help with this, she reduces the size of any non-small Champions in the two formation slots behind her and any Champions who share a species with either of them. Once unlocked, you can find this fairy druid in Seat 8 (Delina).

To learn everything you need to know about this small Champion with serious swagger, read on!

Abilities

Basic Attack

Pixie Charge (melee) - A pixie subordinate dives in and stabs a random enemy for one hit.

Formation Abilities

Dancing Lights - Trixie increases the damage of adjacent Champions by 100%.
Small Pranks - Trixie increases the effect of Dancing Lights by 100% for each Small Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively. Small Champions are fairy, gnome, goblin, halfling, kender, kobold, and plasmoid Champions.
Tricksy Pixie - Every time a Champion other than Trixie attacks, Trixie gains a Trick stack. When Trixie attacks, she expends all her Trick stacks to slow up to that number of random enemies by 50% for 10 seconds. If she has more Trick stacks than there are enemies, then she can use the extra stacks to stun that number of random enemies for 3 seconds. Additionally, one extra Pixie Subordinate attacks for every 5 Trick stacks expended. Trixie can not have more than 50 Trick stacks at once.
Debilitating Dust - If Trixie still has Trick stacks left after stunning all enemies on the screen, she uses the extra stacks to increase the damage a random enemy takes by 100% for 5 seconds. These debuffs can apply to the same enemy multiple times and stack multiplicatively.
Ultimate Undoing - Every time a Champion other than Trixie uses their ultimate ability, Trixie gains a Scheming stack, up to a maximum of 20 stacks. When Trixie uses her ultimate ability, she expends her Scheming stacks to increase the effect of Dancing Lights by 100% per stack, stacking multiplicatively. This buff lasts until the area is changed or until Trixie uses her ultimate again, whichever comes first.
Shrinking Dust - Champions in the formation slots directly behind Trixie are sprinkled with Shrinking Dust, which reduces them in size by 50% and makes them count as Small for abilities and variant restrictions that care about size. Additionally, all Champions that share a species with any Champion affected by Shrinking Dust are also sprinkled with Shrinking Dust.

Specializations

Faster, Friends - The damage of all Champions is increased by 100%. When a Familiar clicks on an enemy, it also reduces the Base Attack Cooldown of a random Champion other than Trixie by 0.2 seconds.
Ultimate Friends - The ultimate damage of all Champions is increased by 400%. When a Familiar clicks on a boss enemy, it also reduces the current Ultimate Attack Cooldown of a random Champion other than Trixie whose ultimate is on cooldown by .2 seconds.

There are the planters outside the garden to grow flowers in. If you click on them, you can see the plant store. Each plant has a different cost and grow time to get you your event progress points. You start with 4 free planters.

Is it good to buy extra planters for growing the plants?
If you have the seeds to spare and prefer to plant long-growing plants, then yes, it's worth it.

How do I get the Decorator achievement?
If you go into the gardening area, the store button ($) has a selection of garden decorating items, where you can find the planter styles and watering can. These items also cost seeds.

What are the possible seed combinations for Farmer MacDonald's quest?
You can choose seeds that grow either Energy or Gold, and then choose between 20, 15, 4, and 3 hours of growth time.

Why do my custom seeds cost Gold to plant?
You created the combination, which is unlocked until they expire. Just like normal plants, they cost Gold for planting. We don't award a flat number of seeds, because not all players have the same amount of farm plots. This way, you get to choose how many you end up growing. :)
Why don't my custom seeds last longer?
Because they're OP! Enjoy them while they last. :)

How do I please the judges?
Just keep growing plants. As your event progress increases, you will impress the judges more and more. You DO NOT need to place them in your garden if you don't wish to. The plants still count for progress.

Does the Timey-Wimey watch or Time Turner affect the judges?
No, judges do not have quest cooldowns, so trinket effects that work for quests will not apply to them.

What adds to my event progress?
Growing plants worth points and completing the side quests. To get the points from your plants, you don't even need to place them in your garden! Just grow them!

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 all the achievements available and how to get them?
Either on the holiday dialog, the achievements dialog, or on the blog.

Champion Update: Melf

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, melf, the great modron march.

Born into the royal family of Celene, he assumed the simple name of Melf eschewing a life of comfort as a noble to study the arcane arts and train as a swordsman. He delved in the dungeons of Castle Greyhawk, the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and many other harrowing places honing his skills, knowledge and amassing powerful magical items. Melf sees himself as a weapon of weal hurtling toward the heart of the darkest evils in the realm. He is opinionated and has a touch of conceit that he is blissfully ignorant of possessing..

Idle Champions: Great Modron March 9 (DRAFT)

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, laurana, melf, the great modron march.

Several times each century, the clockwork plane of Mechanus mobilizes a vast wave of modrons and sends them on a tour of the cosmos. Known as "The Great Modron March," this unstoppable tide of lawful constructs journeys across the material plane on the exact same route each time. However, this time something has changed -- the modrons are marching on Waterdeep.

The Great Modron March has returned for Year 9, introducing Laurana Kanan, The Golden General, and Hero of the Lance elf fighter, as well as bringing a major update to Greyhawk's Prince Brightflame himself, Melf

Featured Champions

Laurana

Lauralanthalasa Kanan was a pampered princess of the Qualinesti elves. Then the flames of evil dragons threatened her people and Laurana joined with other heroes to fight the Dragon Queen. In time, she became known as the Golden General: a renowned fighter, dragon rider, and brilliant battlefield commander. Now a living symbol of hope, Laurana fights to save her people and the world.

Laurana is a Support and Tanking Champion whose abilities grow in power as you complete her 20 Achievements, representing her rise from a sheltered elven princess to the legendary Golden General. She increases the damage of Champions in one of three columns behind her, and she excels when assigned with the right soldiers. Once unlocked, you can find this Elf Fighter in Seat 7 (Minsc)

Learn more about Laurana in her Champion Spotlight.

Melf is receiving a major update arriving at the start of the second week of the Great Modron March. His blog launches on May 8th!
