Quality of Life Sprint - March 2026 (March 31th, 2026)

Excitable, friendly, and insatiably curious, Tasslehoff Burrfoot is a kender of no small renown. Tas is the beating heart of the Heroes of the Lance, and his knack for 'borrowing' somehow manages to solve more problems than it causes. While Tas may not see himself as a hero, he is fearless in the face of Krynn's greatest dangers, and he always comes to the aid of his friends.

Tasslehoff Burrfoot is a Support and Speed Champion who buffs Champions in one of the back three columns of the player's choice. His diversionary nature strengthens that column at the cost of positional formation abilities next to him, and his wanderlust further increases his support as the party remains in an area. Finally, his habit to borrow items speeds up progression in areas with quest items.

To learn everything you need to know about this kender rogue with a god as his best friend, read on!

Tasslehoff

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Hoopak (ranged) - Tasslehoff fires a stone at the closest enemy, dealing one hit.

Passive Abilities

• Fearless - Tasslehoff is immune to being Stunned.

Formation Abilities

• Diversion - Tasslehoff prevents any Champion-sourced non-healing positional formation abilities from targeting his slot or adjacent slots. For each prevented ability per slot, he gains a Diversion stack. Tasslehoff increases the effect of his Map Collector specialization by 10% for each Diversion stack, stacking multiplicatively.
• Borrower - Each time the party completes an area, Tasslehoff somehow comes into possession of some future quest items, setting his Found Item stacks to 7. When Tasslehoff attacks an enemy that can drop quest items, there is a 10% chance he spends a Found Item stack and adds a quest item to the party's quest progress.
• Wanderlust - Tasslehoff grows impatient if he remains in the same area for a long time. Tasslehoff increases the effect of his Map Collector specialization by 100% for every 10 seconds the party is in an area, stacking multiplicatively up to 12 times and resetting when changing areas.

Ultimate Ability

Born frail yet gifted with an uncanny aptitude for magic, Raistlin Majere is the Sorcery to his older twin brother Caramon's Sword. The youngest wizard ever to attempt the Test of High Sorcery, Raistlin was forever changed, marked by white hair, golden skin, and hourglass eyes that see the accelerated passage of time. Together with his fellow Heroes of the Lance, Raistlin wields his formidable arcane talents against Takhisis, the Dragon Queen.

Raistlin is a DPS Champion who excels when positioned away from the rest of the formation. His damage grows when positional formation abilities focus on just him and a small number of other Champions, and he'll periodically toss a fireball at the next area, resulting in enemies being softened up before the party arrives.

Raistlin Majere is the first Hero of the Lance to come to Idle Champions -- but he will not be the last! We've been privileged to get a chance to work with author Margaret Weis to bring Raistlin to life as he was at the beginning of Dragons of Autumn Twilight, just five years after he completed his Test of High Sorcery, when he and his brother Caramon met up with their friends at the Inn of the Last Home.

Learn about Krynn's greatest mage below!

Raistlin

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Magic Missile (magic) - Raistlin fires a number of magic missiles at the toughest enemies.

Formation Abilities

• Prodigy of High Sorcery - Raistlin increases his damage by 100% for each Champion that is not adjacent to him, stacking multiplicatively.
• Savant - For each positional formation ability affecting Raistlin, he gains Intensity stacks based on how few other Champions are also affected by the same ability. He gains one stack if there are three other Champions affected, two if there are two other Champions affected, three if there is only one other Champion affected, and four if Raistlin is the only Champion affected. The effect of Prodigy of High Sorcery is increased by 100% for each Intensity stack Raistlin has, stacking multiplicatively.
• Debilitating Magic - When Raistlin attacks and is at or above 90% of his max health, he takes 1% of his max health as damage but deals 400% more damage with his attack.
• Herbalism - Other Champions' healing effects on Raistlin are reduced by 50%. Whenever any other Champion in the formation uses an ultimate attack, Raistlin drinks a cup of tea after his next attack, healing himself for 2% of his max health for each ultimate that was used, stacking additively.
• Flames of High Sorcery - While fighting in an area with an incomplete quest, Raistlin casts Fireball at enemies in the next area after every fourth attack. This causes those enemies to spawn with missing health equal to 10% of their max health, stacking additively up to five times.

Specializations

• Heroic Mage - Raistlin increases the effect of Prodigy of High Sorcery by 125% for each Good Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
• Reclusive Mage - Raistlin increases the effect of Prodigy of High Sorcery by 125% for each Champion in the formation with a Melee or Ranged base attack, stacking multiplicatively.

Ultimate Ability

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 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.

To learn about our latest warlock, read on...

Skylla increases the effect of Whispers of Baba Yaga by 100% for each Shimmer stack she has, stacking additively. Shimmer stacks persist for the entire adventure and reset when you complete it.

Specializations A

• Witch's Switch - Other Champions in the party have their ability scores switched: STR with CHA, DEX with INT, and CON with WIS. The effect of Whispers of Baba Yaga is increased by 100% each time the difference between the switched scores is 5 or more, stacking multiplicatively.

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!

King of Shadows

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.

Alyndra Alexandria Garanahil Sarrbarand is known by many names: Lorekeeper of Rime Spiro, Kinscribe of Clan Monkeymouse, Daughter of Oblivion, Fate Changer, Knight of Wonder and Captivation...and apologetic offspring of Avren & Sofieus.

Alyndra originally launched on March 11, 2021, as part of Festival of Fools 4. Now, she is the first Champion to receive a rework in a Year 9 Event, with a change to how her Portent works, a new passive ability, I See Some Friends, and a new support ability, Circle of Divination. To learn all about the updates and new abilities, read on!

Alyndra

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Mind Spike (magic) - Alyndra reaches into the mind of a random enemy, dealing damage and slowing the enemy by 50% for 3 seconds.

Passive Abilities

• I See Some Friends - When Alyndra is in the formation, all Champions from the Heroes of the Planes affiliation may be used, even if a Patron, Variant, or other restriction would say otherwise.

Formation Abilities

• Circle of Divination - Alyndra increases the damage of adjacent Champions by 100%.
• I Have Foreseen This - For each Champion in the formation affected by Portent, Alyndra's Circle of Divination is increased by 100%, stacking multiplicatively.
• Brows of Judgement - Griff, Alyndra's owl companion, sits on Alyndra's shoulder and judges enemies as they spawn. They have a 25% chance to judge normal enemies as unworthy, and a 100% chance to judge bosses as unworthy. For each unworthy normal enemy that spawns, Circle of Divination is increased by 20%, stacking multiplicatively. If a boss has spawned in the current area, Circle of Divination is increased by an additional 1000%. Griff can judge up to 100 normal enemies per area, and the stacks reset when changing areas.

Specializations

• Expansive Vision - Portent now applies to the next 3 Champions to use their ultimate abilities instead of 2, and the effect is increased by 100%.
• Extra Judgy - Doubles Griff's chance to judge enemies as unworthy with Brows of Judgement, increases the buff by 100%, and when changing areas, half of the stacks persist.
• Heroes of the Planes - If Portent is applied to a Champion under the effect of certain Heroes of the Planes Champions' abilities, those effects are increased in power.

Ultimate Ability

• Portent - Alyndra glances into the future. The next two unique Champions to use their ultimate abilities gain the Portent buff for 40 seconds, which increases their base damage by 1000% and reduces their base attack cooldown by 0.5 sec. If an affected Champion uses their ultimate ability again before the Portent buff expires, their Portent buff duration is refreshed.

Well met!

Since Idle Champions first launched in Early Access, we have released a new campaign every year, starting with Tomb of Annihilation in 2017 and most recently with Vecna: Eve of Ruin in 2024.

For our 2025 campaign, we want to do something different. We went back to the drawing board, looking to make monthly campaign updates more exciting and eagerly anticipated. What we've created is more than a new campaign -- it's a celebration of Idle Champions and a way for us to show gratitude to our players by offering a plethora of new play rewards!

Focus Champions are Event Champions who are key to the story and unlocked as part of these unique adventures (if you don't already own them).

Completing them will earn unique rewards, from Champion Chests to new exclusive Feats and Skins that can only be earned through playing!

Now, let's talk about the first two adventures and their respective Focus Champions: Ezmerelda d'Avenir and Catti-brie!
