Champion Update: Farideh  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Abandoned as an infant and adopted by an outcast dragonborn warrior, Farideh grew up to adulthood acutely aware of the drawbacks of being a tiefling. While those from the Nine Hells do their utmost to corrupt her, Farideh isn't interested in power so much as defending the world from demons, the undead, and any other villains trying to bring trouble or drag her friends and family into danger.
Farideh has received a devilish update. Her Hellish Rebuke ability now triggers when any Champion in the formation receives damage, while Chosen of Asmodeus has been reworked entirely. Learn all about the changes below...

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Strahd, Zariel, Elminster (until October 8th, 2028)

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Scorching Ray (magic) - Farideh creates 3 rays of fire and hurls them at random enemies.

Formation Abilities

  • Hellish Rebuke - Enemies that attack any Champion in the formation trigger Farideh's Hellish Rebuke. The enemy is surrounded by green flames for 5 seconds and immediately takes 0.5 seconds worth of BUD damage.
  • Chosen of Asmodeus - Whenever Farideh's Hellish Rebuke triggers, Farideh's damage is increased by 100%. This stacks multiplicatively up to 25 times, and the stacks reset when changing areas.
  • Pact Family - Farideh's damage is increased by 100% for each Tiefling Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Sister, Sister - Increases the post-stack effect of Pact Family by 500% when Havilar is in the formation. Additionally, whenever Havilar sacrifices her Imps, the stack cap of Chosen of Asmodeus is increased by 2, stacking up to 5 times (10 additional stacks total).

Specializations

  • Daughters of Mehen - Pact Family now also gains a stack for each Dragonborn Champion in the formation, and its post-stack effect is increased by 400%. Chosen of Asmodeus stacks are halved when changing areas if Mehen is in the formation, rather than resetting to 0.
  • Fury of Asmodeus - Farideh gains the Debuff role, and whenever Chosen of Asmodeus is at more than 10 stacks, Farideh deals 100% more damage against enemies currently affected by Hellish Rebuke for each stack above 10 she has, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Pact with Lorcan - Farideh gains the Hunter role, Fiends become her favored foe, and the effect of Hellish Rebuke is increased by 200% on all Fiends. By sheer dumb luck, each wave of enemies in non-boss areas has a 33% chance to spawn 1-2 Fiends, and all bosses now count as demonic Fiends for the purposes of all abilities that care about such things.

Ultimate Attack

  • Infernal Aspect (magic) - Farideh taps into her infernal bloodline, surrounding herself in a nimbus of flames and sprouting a pair of fiery wings from her back for 15 seconds. This causes all enemies to go berserk, resulting in them moving 50% faster, attacking twice as often, but dealing 90% less damage. During this time, her flaming aura shoots slivers of flame at random enemies once per second, dealing massive damage.

Idle Champions: Liar's Night 9 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    The Champions are celebrating together at a Liar's Night party at the Wayside Inn when suddenly a masked pickpocket crashes the festivities, stealing magical items and escaping into the night...
Our second Year 9 Event is here! Sometimes it feels like the Wayside Inn gets targeted every year by a masked pickpocket. Strange...

Liar's Night 9 introduces the King of Shadows, available with the event launch today, and brings a rework for Farideh, available on October 8th.

For more information on our latest Featured Champions and the event, read on!

Featured Champions

King of Shadows

Once the noble guardian of the ancient elven empire of Illefarn, a cataclysmic event twisted this protector, binding him to the corrupting influence of the Shadow Weave. Now, as the King of Shadows, he commands legions of spectral Shadow Reavers and wields potent shadow magic. Driven by a warped sense of purpose tied to Illefarn's downfall and the dangerous power of the Shadow Weave, he seeks to engulf Neverwinter and beyond in an eternal night. His very being embodies the perversion of ancient power and the terrifying potential of unchecked darkness, making him a uniquely formidable and tragic antagonist.

While those from the Nine Hells do their utmost to corrupt her, Farideh isn't interested in power so much as defending the world from demons, the undead, and any other villains trying to bring trouble or drag her friends and family into danger.

New Champion: King of Shadows 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Once the noble guardian of the ancient elven empire of Illefarn, a cataclysmic event twisted this protector, binding him to the corrupting influence of the Shadow Weave. Now, as the King of Shadows, he commands legions of spectral Shadow Reavers and wields potent shadow magic. Driven by a warped sense of purpose tied to Illefarn's downfall and the dangerous power of the Shadow Weave, he seeks to engulf Neverwinter and beyond in an eternal night. His very being embodies the perversion of ancient power and the terrifying potential of unchecked darkness, making him a uniquely formidable and tragic antagonist.
The King of Shadows is a Support, Tanking, and DPS Champion that goes through three phases, with the advancement to the next phase happening when he is defeated. The power of his Tanking and DPS abilities increases the longer you can delay his advancement to the next phase. His Shadow Plague ability further augments his Tanking abilities, but actively drains health from Champions next to him in formation!

That's right - the antagonist of Neverwinter Nights 2 has joined Idle Champions as our latest evil-aligned Champion! To learn all about the King of Shadows, read on!

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Strahd, Zariel, Elminster (until October 1st, 2028)

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Shadow Strike (melee/magic) - The King of Shadows slashes the closest enemies, then blasts the enemy with the most health.

Passive Abilities

  • Corrupted Guardian - The King of Shadows is Undead and counts as 'dead' for the purposes of effects that care about dead Champions, but 'alive' for all other purposes.
  • Phase One: The Watcher - When you complete an area with the King of Shadows leading the formation from the front, he updates his current Toughness and Brutality stacks to the completed area number. When the King of Shadows is defeated for the first time, he immediately returns to full health, his Toughness stacks no longer update, and he enters Phase Two. When the King of Shadows is defeated for the second time, he immediately returns to full health, his Brutality stacks no longer update, and he enters Phase Three. His size increases by 25% each time he enters a new phase. Other abilities grant additional buffs upon gaining these new phases.

Formation Abilities

  • Power of the King - The King of Shadows increases the damage of himself and Champions in the two columns behind him by 100%. This is increased by 100% each time the King of Shadows' max health is doubled, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Shadow Plague - The King of Shadows damages all adjacent Champions for 4% of their max health each second, as long as the Champions have at least 20% of their max health remaining. Each time The King of Shadows successfully deals damage in this manner, he gains a Shadow Plague stack. Each Shadow Plague stack increases his own max health by 4%, stacking additively. Stacks cap at 250 and reset when changing areas.
  • Phase Two: The Warden - After the King of Shadows enters Phase Two, his health is increased by 1% for each Toughness stack he collected, stacking additively. He also increases the health of all other Champions by 25% of his max health, and healing effects on all Champions are increased by 25%.
  • Shadow Reavers - After the King of Shadows enters Phase Two, he summons a Shadow Reaver each time he uses his ultimate. An additional Shadow Reaver is summoned for every 500 Toughness stacks he has. Each Shadow Reaver attacks a random enemy once every 5 seconds, dealing 5 seconds of BUD-based damage. The Shadow Reavers last for 1 second plus 0.1 seconds for each Toughness stack he has. Using his ultimate again before the Shadow Reavers expire causes their duration to be refreshed to max.
  • Phase Three: The Warrior - After the King of Shadows enters Phase Three, his damage is increased by 5% for each Brutality stack, stacking multiplicatively.

Specializations A

  • Master of Pawns - Increases the effect of Power of the King by 100%.
  • Shadow Unleashed - Increases the effect of Phase Three: The Warrior by 1000%.

Specializations B

  • Legacy of Illefarn - Increases the effect of Power of the King by 100% for each Elf, Dwarf, Half-Elf, and/or Human Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Embrace the Shadow Weave - Increases the effect of Power of the King by 200% for each Evil Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Rites of Survival - Increases the effect of Power of the King by 300% for each Champion with the Healing role, stacking multiplicatively. Additionally, Shadow Plague no longer has a minimum health at which Champions will not be damaged, and the Shadow Plague stack cap is doubled.

Ultimate Attack

  • Cradle of Rime (magic) - The King of Shadows blasts all enemies with cold and necrotic energies, slowing their movement for a short while.

Champion Update: Krond  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Krond was born of a union between an academic human wizard and a mighty orc fighter who led a nomadic orc community. Raised as a fearsome warrior and arcane scholar, he studied these arts with equal passion. Krond's parents tragically lost their lives protecting their family and friends during an enemy raid. This moment changed Krond, and he swore revenge upon the world. Taking up an ancestral warhammer called Unity, Krond set out to make things right, one way or another.
Krond has been reworked to become a true Support, greatly increasing his versatility, while still allowing him to be a DPS Champion.

For all the details on this Champion Update for Krond, read on!

Idle Champions: Liar's Night 8 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    The Champions are celebrating together at a Liar's Night party at the Wayside Inn when suddenly a masked pickpocket crashes the festivities, stealing magical items and escaping into the night...

Liar's Night has returned to Idle Champions, and this year players can look forward to two Darklords as Featured Champions: the legendary vampire and Darklord of Tovag, Kas, and the dreaded Darklord of Koshmarr, Voronika.

The latest New Champion, Kas, launches with Liar's Night today, while Voronika's Rebalance will launch in one week on Wednesday, October 9th. For more information about Liar's Night 8, read on...

Featured Champions

Kas

    Once the Lieutenant of Vecna, Kas betrayed his former master in a fight resulting in the dreaded artifacts, the Hand and Eye of Vecna. Kas is a vampire, legendary swordfighter, and ruthless warlord, and he is driven primarily by one thing: his hatred for Vecna.

Learn more about Kas in his Champion Spotlight. Kas arrives today with the launch of Liar's Night!

Voronika

A young Eladrin woman, raised to be the Queen of Koshmarr, what was meant to be an idyllic life took a dark turn on the night of her wedding. Pulled into the machinations of greater powers, she found herself in Mordent, now one of the many wandering ghosts. A person of great interest both to Azalin Rex and Strahd, she sought to negotiate her freedom from these dread domains. Her longtime companions and their newfound friends wanted the same and imbued her soul into Desmond’s sword. As they traveled in search of returning her soul to her body, Voronika took matters into her own hands and used the crown of the Raven Queen to defeat Zybilna and cause the fall of Prismeer. This action drew the mists to Voronika and soon she discovered herself a new darklord in her domain of Koshmarr.

Learn about Voronika's upcoming rebalance in her 2024 Champion Spotlight launching on Friday, October 4th. The Voronika Rebalance arrives on Wednesday, October 9th at the beginning of Liar's Night Week 2!

Idle Champions: Liar's Night 7 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    "Did you hear what happened at the Wayside Inn?"
    "No -- what happened?"
    "While everyone was partying at Liar's Night they got robbed."
    "Seriously!? Who robs a party?"
    "It was 'A Masked Man', apparently."
    "What a jerk. I hope they catch him."
The local Liar's Night festivities at the Wayside Inn were interrupted by a masked thief! They stole magical items and escaped, and now it's up to the Champions to stop them!

Liar's Night 7 introduces Thellora, the Centaur Paladin featured in Idle Champions Presents: Fatebreaker! This event also brings back Kent, the Tiefling Rogue from Rivals of Waterdeep, as well as Brig Hellclaw, the Rogue/Bard played by Jason Charles Miller! Players have until Monday, October 30th at 12 PM Pacific to complete their Liars' Night 7 unlocks and objectives.

New Champion: Thellora



    Thellora belongs to an all-female regiment known as the Luma. These fifty-three centaurs are diverse, but unified in that each possesses a distinctive golden right eye. The centaurs believe these individuals are chosen by their god, Callessa, to be devoted guardians and trained warriors. With their divine connection and martial prowess, they protect their land, embracing their unique gifts with unwavering dedication.

Thellora is a Support, Tanking, and Speed Champion who will charge her way through your next adventure! She boosts the damage of champions behind her and bolsters their health like a true tank, and these boosts increase when she is unable to finish off her foe. The choice you make with which feats you assign is particularly important, as her feats also affect her adjacent allies! Once unlocked, she takes her place in Slot 1 next to Bruenor.

For more detailed information on Thellora, check out her Champion Spotlight!

New Champion: Kent

Dungeons & Dragons Kent Eugenio

    Kent is a former archaeologist turned adventurer whose Rogue skills and powers over death were honed by spending months making his way through the temple of Talona, where the rest of his archaeological research team was killed by traps and monsters. When he finally returned home to the lakeside town of Caradoon, he was the same outgoing, flamboyant Tiefling he had always been, but now it seemed to mask a darkness that Kent has since done his best to keep hidden. Fortunately for him, he doesn't have to bear the darkness alone, because not long after his return to Caradoon, he met smart, capable, and patient Aasimar named Virgil. Together they met up with Selise from the Rivals, and joined her and the rest of the crew in Waterdeep.

Kent is a support and DPS Champion who collects soul trinkets representing the highest level boss defeated in each campaign, which he uses to buff himself and Champions in his column. In addition, he increases the effectiveness of your achievement bonuses for the adventure he is on. Once unlocked, you can find this tiefling rogue with Jarlaxle in Slot 4.

For more detailed information on Kent, check out his Champion Spotlight!

Idle Champion Spotlight: Kent 
Posted in Idle Champions.

Exploring ancient temples can lead to astounding archaeological discoveries, but also devastating consequences. However some Champions remain confident in their fabulous capabilities rather than let the dark memories sour their levity!

Kent is a trained archeologist whose blade is as sharp as his outfits. He joins his fellow Rivals of Waterdeep Gazrick, Shaka, Selise, and D'hani in the Champion roster during Liar's Night!

Dungeons & Dragons Kent

III. Kent's Design

Eugenio Vargas is a New York City based singer, actor, and music director who has extensive experience both on and behind the stage. With a love of performing and gaming, he's become well known in the TTRPG industry for his amazing work, including as the DM and producer for The Last Refuge podcast, the Storyteller for Into the Mother Lands, and a writer and designer on many D&D products including Fizban's Treasury of Dragons for Wizards of the Coast. He is already well known to the Idle Champions community for his work on A Familiar Quest and The Pear Passage charity one shot, so we're very excited to bring his Rivals of Waterdeep character to the game!

Kent is all about making the formation more effective by celebrating your previous achievements. As you defeat bosses across all our Campaigns, Kent collects Tokens of the Departed, and increases the damage of himself and all Champions in his column. The more powerful the boss, the higher the damage bonus! He'll also make all the Champions more powerful by adding a bit EXTRA! using your current Achievement bonus. With a wealth of experiences to draw from, Kent is an adept at attacking nearby enemies with his Rapier, and Remembering the Old Days helps makes his attacks even more effective. But this rogue doesn't have to go it alone! After Virgil's release, you'll find that the two of them are Inseparable and where one goes, the other can follow.

If the formation is filled with his fellow Rivals of Waterdeep, Kent can specialize in increasing the attack bonus of Tokens of the Departed for each of those Robust Rivals. Or he can focus on his Potent Poison to add poison damage to all of his attacks. When Kent gets serious about defeating enemies, he calls on the Wails from the Grave to change the weather to an eerie fog, and call on ghostly spirits to help Kent deal some Ultimate damage!

IV. Kent's Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Rapier - Kent strikes the closest enemy with his rapier.

Formation Abilities

  • Tokens of the Departed - Kent keeps a soul trinket of the highest level boss defeated in each campaign and the best event where he was present at the bosses' defeat. Kent increases the damage of all Champions in his column (including himself) by 10% times the sum of all levels from his soul trinkets.
  • Remembering the Old Days - Each time Kent or the ghostly spirit from his Ultimate attacks, he gains a Nostalgia stack that lasts until entering a new area. Kent increases his damage by +50% for each Nostalgia stack, stacking multiplicatively and then applied multiplicatively. Buffs are applied to the post stack value, and Nostalgia stacks are capped at 25 stacks.
  • EXTRA! - Kent's force of personality emboldens his companions. Kent increases the damage of all Champions by your current Achievement bonus.
  • Inseparable - If Virgil qualifies for an adventure restriction based on his tags, age, ability scores, etc., Kent may be used as well. Note: this won't be enabled until after Virgil's release!

Specializations

  • Robust Rivals - Kent increases the attack bonus of Tokens of the Departed by +100% for each Rivals of Waterdeep Champion, stacking multiplicatively and applied multiplicatively.
  • Potent Poison - Whenever Kent attacks an enemy and doesn't kill it, it is affected by a virulent poison. The poison deals 400% of your BUD to the enemy each second for 4 seconds.

Ultimate Ability

  • Wails from the Grave - For 30 seconds, when Kent makes a normal attack, a ghostly spirit briefly appears and makes an attack dealing ultimate damage, on another random enemy if possible. Additionally, the weather changes to fog.

V. Kent's Equipment



Slot 1: Global DPS
Slot 2: Global DPS
Slot 3: Tokens of the Departed
Slot 4: Remembering the Old Days
Slot 5: EXTRA!
Slot 6: Ultimate Attack

VI. Conclusion

Season 14 of Rivals of Waterdeep begins on October 16th, 2022, and we're overjoyed to have Kent joining our roster just as the new season is getting started!
