Nate's New Puppies!

Plus, foster an adorable puppy for Nate. It seems he's accidentally ordered too many dogs (again!!) and needs your help to look after them temporarily. Choose one of the 3 to help him out! Once you equip your dog, Nate has some daily quests for you to do to keep the ball of energy that is your puppy occupied. Love the look of the dog? Permanently adopt it with a simple purchase! You can choose between the Wolfhound, Golden Basset Hound, and German Shepherd!

Puppy and Person Training

Race Track

Check out the Companion Racing Track once it becomes available, and you'll be able to bet on pet races! You can only win the prizes once per day though.

The Next Race Track Champion

Later on in the event, you'll need to help an NPC train their unlikely companion to participate in the race!

Idle Champions: Ahghairon's Day 8  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Ahghairon's Day commemorates the birthday of Ahghairon, the first Open Lord of Waterdeep and founder of the Lords of Waterdeep. In his name, Lords toast Ahghairon and the Watchful Order, while guildmasters toast the Lords in Ahghairon's name, and common folk leave violets at the base of Ahghairon's Tower, the Plinth, and atop the altars of the House of Wonder.

    As part of the festivities, the party is tasked with seeking out a Lord of Waterdeep who stepped down long ago. It seems like an easy request – but if it were easy, it wouldn't have come directly from the Open Lord of Waterdeep herself...
Ahghairon's Day returns with one New Champion and another Champion Update. Baldric Goodhand, the dwarven cleric who makes deals with the gods and the latest Fallbacks Champion to come to the game, is available to unlock today with the launch of the event. Lazaapz, the goblin artificer from Sharn originally released during the Brightswords event in 2020, has received a major rework and will be available starting on August 13. More information about the changes to Lazaapz will become available on Friday with the launch of her blog.

For more information about this year's Ahghairon's Day, read on!

Featured Champions

Baldric

Baldric left his position as a prominent member of his family’s mercantile empire to seek his fortunes elsewhere. He’s a unique cleric that 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.


Learn more about Baldric in his Champion Spotlight.

Lazaapz

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...


Learn more about Lazaapz in her Champion Spotlight when it launches this Friday, August 8th.

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

Basic Attack

  • 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.
  • Shield of Filth - When Uggie is with Baldric, any Champion that is being targeted by Baldric's Healing Word can't take more than 33% of their max health in one hit.
  • 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

Idle Champions: Founders' Day 8 
Posted in Idle Champions.

Celebrations are underway to commemorate the founding of the Free City of Waterdeep. Founders Day attracts huge crowds to the Field of Triumph, where audiences watch illusory shows about Waterdeep's history and martial exhibitions by notable Champions and the renown city guard.

Festivities have also brought an ancient power from Avernus, first layer of the Nine Hells. A fallen angel has arrived to collect souls for the Blood War...

Featured Champions

Tess

Tess grew up in a small village where she wreaked havoc as an amateur thief (she stole to see if she could, not because she wanted to keep the items - mostly), before her parents sent her to be trained by an aging halfling rogue named Mel. Under Mel’s mentorship, Tess became a professional infiltrator, using her skills for good. Now she’s formed her own adventuring party and is actively molding them into the heroes she knows they can be.


Learn more about Tess in her Champion Spotlight.

K'thriss

Curious, affable, and morbid, the drow heretic K'thriss Drow'b seeks the insane god-truth behind the veil of reality. As the "C" Team's hoardsperson, he keeps an eye out for occult relics that could aid him in his unearthly quest.


Learn more about K'thriss in his Champion Spotlight when it arrives on July 4th!.

New Champion: Tess  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Tess grew up in a small village where she wreaked havoc as an amateur thief (she stole to see if she could, not because she wanted to keep the items - mostly), before her parents sent her to be trained by an aging halfling rogue named Mel. Under Mel’s mentorship, Tess became a professional infiltrator, using her skills for good. Now she’s formed her own adventuring party and is actively molding them into the heroes she knows they can be.
Tess is a Support Champion who leads by example, buffing the damage of all Champions behind her. This expert in traps has a plan for everything, increasing your formation's damage if she is given companions with a diverse set of roles. Tess can always be found with the Fallbacks' Otyugh companion Uggie nearby.

New Champion: Sheila  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Sheila is the compassionate heart of a group of young friends whisked away to the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. She reluctantly took on the role of Thief, using her Cloak of Invisibility to move unseen. Sensitive and loyal, Sheila strives to keep her loved ones safe, especially her younger brother, Bobby. Her supportive spirit is a powerful force as they journey together in search of a way back home.
Sheila is a Support and Debuff Champion whose kind heart supports all Good-aligned Champions in the formation. Her magical Cloak of Invisibility allows her to attack unseen, weakening enemy coordination and increasing her allies' critical hit chance and damage. She occasionally collects Potion Reagents when bosses are defeated, allowing you to brew potions. The Apothecary system will be launching on March 12! We'll have more information about it in an upcoming blog.

Champion Update: Ishi  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Ishi Snaggletooth hails from a warren of Kobolds living in the sewers under Baldur's Gate. Always the type to be more curious than careful, she accidentally stowed away on a ship headed to Port Nyanzaru. There, she met her dear friend, the Firbolg Littlefox. Often shunned by humans, Ishi hopes to prove herself as a true hero however she can. Ishi's biggest claim to fame is the defeat of the known swordsman, Hershel Von Saberburg, and since that day, she's touted herself as a renowned duelist to anyone who'll listen to her.
It's been a long time since Ishi joined Idle Champions, and on February 12th, 2025, she will be the lucky recipient of a new Rework set to make her a powerful component of non-human formations.
