Champion Update: Nordom 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Modrons are the embodiment of law and order, marching in lockstep through the planes. But when Nordom Whistlklik was separated from his fellow modrons, the essence of chaos infected this rogue quadrone. Now with his crossbow-shaped gear spirits in hand, he works to fit his complex new outlook into his logical—if quirky—understanding of the planes.
Nordom the Modron has received some much-needed attention with his rework, improving his utility across formations and reinforcing his link to the Modron Core system. These changes will go live at the beginning of the second week of Simril 9 on Wednesday, December 10.

Let's talk about Nordom's rework!

Idle Champions: Simril 9 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    Simril is ruined! Someone or something has been pillaging all the food stores of Luskan, leaving very little leftover for the feast of Simril, let alone the long, cold winter to follow. Your party has been hired to hunt down this ruiner-of-holidays and recover the stolen sustenance.
It's time for our final event of 2025: celebrating Faerûn's winter solstice with Simril 9!

We are incredibly excited for players to get their first chance to unlock the last new Champion of 2025, Lark Silverstring, the tiefling bard of the Fallbacks party. Lark is a Support, Speed, and Debuff Champion, so we have little doubt he will find his way into many of your formations.

Coming next week on December 10 will be our second Featured Champion for Simril, Nordom the Modron. Nordom has been reworked with an emphasis on providing more utility while reinforcing his link to Modron Cores. You'll be able to learn all about the Nordom Champion Update when the blog goes live on Friday, December 5.

Now, on with the show -- let's talk about Simril Year 9!

Featured Champions

Lark

A consummate showman and performer, Lark loves the spotlight, but his desire for attention might end up getting him killed. Hunted by mysterious enemies with deadly intent, Lark has nevertheless managed to forge a degree of notoriety and a small fan following as a bard, all while evading his pursuers and any questions about who is hunting him and why. Lark left his old band of performers and initially joined up with the Fallbacks in order to surround himself with powerful protectors. He didn’t expect to catch feelings for the group in the process, but he’s adjusting. The show must go on, after all.


Learn more about Lark in his Champion Spotlight.

But when Nordom Whistlklik was separated from his fellow modrons, the essence of chaos infected this rogue quadrone.

Idle Champions New Champion: Lark  
Posted in Idle Champions.

    A consummate showman and performer, Lark loves the spotlight, but his desire for attention might end up getting him killed. Hunted by mysterious enemies with deadly intent, Lark has nevertheless managed to forge a degree of notoriety and a small fan following as a bard, all while evading his pursuers and any questions about who is hunting him and why. Lark left his old band of performers and initially joined up with the Fallbacks in order to surround himself with powerful protectors. He didn’t expect to catch feelings for the group in the process, but he’s adjusting. The show must go on, after all.
Lark is a Support, Speed, and Debuff Champion who boosts the damage of Champions in the middle of his formation. He favors sharp words over sharp weapons, but when all else fails, he’ll reach for his crossbow, Last Resort. This impulsive showman has a habit of running off on his own and landing himself in trouble.

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Vicious Mockery (magic) - Lark attacks a random enemy, dealing 1 hit. Lark prefers to attack enemies he hasn't attacked yet.

Passive Abilities

  • Uggie! - Uggie joins the party, starting next to Lark 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

  • Devil May Care - Lark increases the damage of all Champions that aren't in the first or last column by 100%.
  • Uptempo Uggie - Uggie's buff is increased by 400% when Lark is in the formation.
  • Bardic Perspiration - When Uggie is with Lark, and at least 50% of the area's quest requirements are met, Lark sprints off to the next area, leaving the formation (and Uggie) behind. When the formation catches up to him, Lark has already antagonized several enemies, spawning 1 enemy in the next area before the formation even arrives.
    • Updated Basic Attack: Uggie's Bite (melee) - Uggie leaps out and bites a random enemy, dealing 1 hit. Uggie will prioritize enemies she hasn't attacked yet.
  • Rapt Audience - When Lark attacks an enemy and does not defeat it, the enemy gains the Charmed debuff. Charmed enemies take 100% additional damage for each Charmed debuff that Lark has applied in the current area, stacking multiplicatively and capping at 10 stacks. If Lark attacks an enemy he has already Charmed, it still increments his Charmed count for the area. Once Lark applies his maximum number of Charmed stacks in an area, he switches over to use his crossbow, named Last Resort.
    • Updated Basic Attack: Last Resort (ranged) - Lark fires his Crossbow at the closest enemy dealing 5 seconds of BUD based damage.

Specializations

  • Band of Misfits - Lark increases the damage of Devil May Care by 100% for each unique class in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Center of Attention - Lark increases the damage of Devil May Care by 175% for each Fallback Champion and/or Champion with a Charisma score of 13 or lower in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

Champion Update: Havilar 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    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!
Havilar has received a major rework with a focus on simplifying her design and increasing synergy with Farideh and Mehen.

Read on to learn everything you need to know about the Havilar Champion Update coming on November 12th!

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Glaive Thrust (melee) - Havilar cleaves the closest enemy with her Glaive, hitting all nearby enemies.

Formation Abilities

  • Leadership Summit - Havilar increases the damage of all Champions in the 2 columns behind her by 400%.
  • Fiendish Resolve - When any Fiend enemies are on-screen, Havilar focuses less on her own attacks and more on buffing her party. Her base attack cooldown is doubled, but the effect of Leadership Summit is increased by 100% for each Fiend that has appeared in the current area, stacking multiplicatively and capping at 25. Fiend bosses count 15 times.
  • Mot - Havilar gains Mot as her first Imp companion. Havilar's Imps attack random enemies with Fire of Asmodeus every 4.3 seconds. Mot increases the effect of Leadership Summit by 100% for each Tiefling Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
    • Fire of Asmodeus: Each summoned Imp attacks a random enemy with a fireball, dealing a large amount of area damage.
  • Infernal Fortitude - Havilar increases the health of all other Champions by 25% of her max health, and healing effects on all Champions are increased by 25%.
  • Battlemaster - Champions affected by Havilar's Leadership Summit gain the Control role (if they didn't already have it) and have a 25% chance for enemies they attack to go berserk for 8 seconds. Berserked enemies move 50% faster, attack twice as often, but deal 90% less damage.
  • Sister, Sister - Increase the effect of Leadership Summit by 500% when Farideh is in the formation. Additionally, whenever Farideh's Hellish Rebuke is triggered, Havilar heals for up to 2.5% of her maximum health. This can trigger at most 400 times in a single area.
  • Speed Demon - Fiend enemies have a 50% chance of dropping two quest items or counting for two kills when killed.

Specializations

  • Dembo - Havilar gains Dembo as an Imp companion. Dembo increases the effect of Leadership Summit by 200% and if Mehen is in the formation, he gains 2 additional Grumpy stacks (he doesn't like Dembo).
  • Olla - Havilar gains Olla as an Imp companion. Olla increases the effect of Leadership Summit by 10% for each unique enemy Havilar has tanked in the current area, stacking multiplicatively and capping at 100. Additionally, when Havilar or either of her Imps attacks an enemy, the enemy is taunted to attack Havilar.
  • Bosh - Havilar gains Bosh as an Imp companion. Bosh increases the effect of Leadership Summit by 50% for each enemy or boss enrage stack active, stacking multiplicatively up to 100 stacks, and also increases Havilar's maximum health by 50%.

Ultimate Ability

  • Heroic Sacrifice (magic) - An imp flings itself at a random enemy and explodes in a large area, dealing ultimate damage and granting a bonus to its buff. The imp is resummoned a short time later.

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.

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.
