Our latest update for Idle Champions launches our new Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign, and the first tier of Blessings for our new campaign and its deity: Auril.
New Campaign
Our newest campaign is also our most challenging!To unlock the Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign, you must have 50 different adventures and variants completed. Additionally, the target areas are higher than normal, reflecting the difficulty of making through Auril's rime. The target for our first adventure The Giant's Bane Tavern is area 150. From there, each new adventure's target goes up by 25 areas from the previous adventure, and the variants are each 50 areas higher than the base adventure, or the variant before it.
The Frostmaiden awaits...
New Blessings
When the Champions begin their journey to Ten-Towns, they won't be doing it alone – they will be blessed by earning Auril's favor. Previously players earned Auril's favor during the Midwinter event. From Midwinter 4 onwards, players will earn Eldath's favor during that event, and Auril's favor for the Icewind Dale campaign.Tier 1 Blessings for the Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign will go live with today's update. Our Champions will need to curry favor with The Frostmaiden to survive the wrath of her winters...
The Giant's Bane Tavern
On our journey to Ten-Towns, we find refuge from the blizzard in a cozy tavern. We meet some familiar adventurers there and uncover some disturbing revelations about the storm.- Variant: Rime Bandits — Arctic Bandits appear in each area. They do not count towards quest progress, nor do they drop gold. Enemies drop 99% less gold. When an Arcic Bandit enemy damages a Champion, that Champion is stunned for 2 seconds, additional hits reset the timer, but hits do not stack.
- Reach area 200.
The Everlasting Rime
Have you ever gotten lost? Ok, but have you ever gotten lost in a magical blizzard created by a vengeful god?- Variant: Enemy Summit — The rime has brought the Champions' memories to life! A unique enemy from each of the 4 previous campaigns spawns in each area. Each enemy has a unique enemy buff that is active until they are killed.
- Strahd Zombie- Enemies drop 99% less gold
- Batiri Goblin - Enemies have their attack cooldown reduced by 25%
- Gazer - Enemies deal 100% additional damage
- Abyssal Chicken - Enemies move 100% faster
- Reach area 225.
