BW2: Celebrate Nate's Birthday Event 2025!

Tags: bw2, 2025, event, new content, nate.

Happy Birthday Nate!

It's that time of year again! Help celebrate Nate Dragon's birthday by decorating the Commons for him....because no one else will.

Safety First

First and foremost, whenever Nate is involved, safety becomes a priority. Find Safety Coins in the bushes and bring them to the stations in the Commons to stock up on protective gear. Turn in 10 coins at each station 50 times for an achievement. You can see the number of turn-ins you've completed at a station when you turn in a set of coins. The Kevlar Pad station is there on the first day of the event, and the Fire Extinguisher and Band Aid stations will unlock as the event goes on.

Party Preparation

Then it seems Nate needs decorations and activities to set up in the Commons. Go out daily and find things for his party. Have fun trying out the activity stations as many times as you want!

Dragon Costuming

If you're trying to get Tiny Little Arms or Just Like Nate achievements, or if you just want to have a little fun, you need to be wearing all pieces of the Dragon gear or the Nate outfit (available from the vendor's Bush Bucks store if it's your first time playing this event) while completing the 4 party Stations: Dynamite Activity, Campfire Activity, Digging Activity and the Training Whacking Activity.

Fire! Fire!

If you've built the Town Hall, you can expect an fiery visitor to the party as well!

New for 2025

This year's update includes:

- a new cursed cubes quest, with a new companion to collect!
- new costume items in the store!
- new ranch items in the store!
- new pet packs!
- new mount packs!
- new ribbons and 100% reward!
- Updated 2 of the VIP event rewards

Holiday Plushies!

As this is the first event of 2025, we're introducing a new 100% reward set - Holiday Plushies! Collect them all!

Nate's Generous Uncle

New year, new gift from Nate's uncle! He seems apologetic enough, so maybe this one won't be cursed...

Achievements

-- POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT
There are a total TWENTY THREE possible Achievements to earn in this event:

Returning Achievements

Safety First - You completed a turn-in at each of the Safety Stations.
Safety Inspector - You completed 50 turn-ins at each of the Safety Stations.

2025 Champion Spotlight: Mehen

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, mehen, brimstone angels, wintershield.

Mehen is a tall, powerful dragonborn with dull-ocher scales and a blunt attitude. With strong opinions on the right course of action, he is just as comfortable yelling orders on the battlefield as he is fiercely protecting his daughters. Despite a life thrown into turmoil after being exiled from his clan and attempting to raise twin tieflings, Mehen remains resilient in his sense of self and his abilities with a falchion.

Verthisathurgiesh Mehen has been greatly reworked with this update. He is no less grumpy, but he should now be much easier to use -- assuming you can find the perfect spot for him in your formation!

For details on the Mehen Rework, read on...

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

Abilities

Basic Attack

Double Strike (melee) - Mehen leaps out and attacks a random enemy, swinging down and then up with a second swing, scoring a hit each time.

Passive Abilities

Always By Your Side - When Mehen is in the formation, Farideh and Havilar become eligible for the current adventure, even if a Patron, Variant, or other restriction would say otherwise.

Formation Abilities

Grumpy - Mehen gains a stack of Grumpy for each of the following checks that is met. He increases the damage of all Champions in the formation by 100% for each stack of Grumpy he has, stacking multiplicatively.

Adjacent to Farideh
At least two columns behind Havilar
At the top of the column
At least three Champions in the column(s) in front of him
At least two Champions in the column(s) behind him
Adjacent to Champions with an average base attack cooldown of 5 sec or less
Adjacent to at least two Tiefling or Dragonborn Champions
At least one other Tiefling or Dragonborn in his column
Within 2 slots of Champions with at least 4 unique classes
Within 2 slots of Champions with at least 6 unique roles

Intimidating Presence - When a monster tries to attack any Champion in the formation for the first time, the damage is prevented and the monster is stunned for 5 seconds and takes 200% more damage during this time. If the attacked Champion is Havilar, the duration is 10 seconds instead.
Gruff - Mehen increases Gold Find of the formation by 100% for every stack of Grumpy that he has, stacking multiplicatively.
Expose Weakness - When a Champion adjacent to Mehen applies a stun, knockback, slow, or root, the enemy takes 1000% more damage for 10 seconds. If Farideh is adjacent to Mehen, she prioritizes attacking those enemies. This debuff does not stack, but the duration is extended if it applies again before it expires.

Specializations

Fighting Force - Mehen increases the effect of Grumpy by 100% for each DPS Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applying to the post-stack value.
Father Figure - Mehen increases the effect of Grumpy by 150% for each Champion in the formation who is 20 years old or younger, stacking multiplicatively and applying to the post-stack value.
Found Family - Mehen increases the effect of Grumpy by 300% for each Dragonborn Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applying to the post-stack value. Farideh and Havilar both gain the Dragonborn species when this spec is chosen.

Lightning Breath (magic) - Mehen breathes a cone of lightning that hits all enemies in the area. If it hits more than 5 enemies, or a boss, it stuns all enemies for 10 seconds.

BW2: Prismatic Passage Quest Hub

Tags: bw2, new content, prismatic, passage, quest, hub.

Hi Whackers!

The folks of the Prismatic Passage are ready to fight for their freedom! Rally behind the cause as they establish a new Quest Hub, featuring its own story quest chain, dailies, store, and more! If you've collected both halves of the Magister's Sigil with help from Nate and Kaine, you can start this new adventure at the Town Crier. Happy whacking!

Note: You need to wait 20 hours after completing Nate and/or Kaine's quests in the Prismatic Passage before the hub quests become available.

The Town Crier will let you know when enough time has passed to pick up the continuing story quests. As you finish the story parts, you'll unlock new daily quests to do!

Choose carefully though, because once you've started these daily quests, you won't be able to do any Cenote Site, Cera Altepetl, Explorer's Camp, Sanctuary, or Cloudland daily quests for the next 20 hours.

Completing the Daily Quests will award you Prisma Mirians, which can be used to buy a plethora of exciting custom items and treats from this hub's unique store once it's been unlocked.

Chat about it on the forum!

Happy Whacking!

2024 Champion Spotlight: Stoki

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, stoki, simril.

Stami Gackle was a fun-loving and reckless youth, but she fled her home when this carefree nature invited tragic loss into her life. She found shelter in Waterdeep with the monks of the Order of the Even-Handed, who gave her a new name and trained her in their ways. Now a capable adventurer, Stoki approaches problems with intense focus and careful consideration, having earned a reputation for being uncommonly stoic. However, Stoki's patient demeanor belies a warrior's ferocity, as she unleashes a rapid flurry of masterful blows to any foe who refuses to back down.

Stoki has received a significant rework along with a new niche focused on Champions who attack quickly. To support her kit, we are updating the Champion Search starting today as builds roll out to allow players to search by Champions based on their base attack cooldown. Let's talk about all things Stoki!

Patron Eligibility: Vajra, Strahd, Elminster (until December 11, 2027)

Abilities

Basic Attack

Flurry of Blows (melee) - Stoki leaps out and attacks random enemies with her fists.

Formation Abilities

Focused Strike - When Stoki attacks, she gains a Focus Point for each enemy she hits. She increases the damage of all Champions with a base attack cooldown of 4.0s or faster by 10% for each Focus Point she has, stacking multiplicatively. Focus Points cap at 100 and are reduced by 50% (rounded down) when changing areas.
Golden Palm - Enemies that have been attacked by Stoki at any point in the current area drop 100% more gold when killed for each Focus Point she has, stacking additively.
Building Focus - Stoki keeps track of the total Focus Point she has gained in the current adventure. If Stoki's Focus Points are capped for a given area, she still counts new ones towards this ability. Upon reaching certain milestones, the following effects activate:

- 100 Focus Points: Encouragement - Champions adjacent to Stoki have their base attack cooldowns lowered by 0.5s.
- 1000 Focus Points: Flurry of Blows - For every 1000 levels Stoki has, she attacks an additional target with each attack. She prefers to attack different targets but will attack the same target multiple times if she has already attacked everyone.
- 5000 Focus Points: Leadership - Champions adjacent to Stoki have a 0.45% chance to reset their base attack cooldown after attacking for each Focus Point she currently has. Caps at 90%.
- 12500 Focus Points: Overflow - When Stoki attacks an enemy that she already attacked, there is a 20% chance the enemy will be stunned for 3 seconds.
- 25000 Focus Points: Explosion - If Stoki hits the same enemy two or more times with the same base attack, power radiates from the enemy, dealing 5 seconds worth of BUD damage to itself and all other nearby enemies. Triggers with each extra hit.
Frenzied Friends - Stoki additively increases the Focus Points cap of Focused Strike by 10 for each Champion in the formation whose base attack cooldown is 4.0s or lower.

Specializations

All Out Assault - Stoki tracks the number of attacks her allies have performed in the past 10 seconds and increases the effect of Focused Strike by 15% for each one, stacking multiplicatively.
Bend It Like Birdsong - Stoki counts the number of Champions in the formation with a DEX score of 16 or higher. For each such Champion, her base attack cooldown is decreased by 0.1 seconds, stacking additively, and the effect of Focused Strike is increased by 100%, stacking multiplicatively.
A Little Bit Faster Now - Stoki reduces the base attack cooldown of all Champions with a default base attack cooldown of 6.0 seconds or higher to 4.0 seconds so that they qualify for Frenzied Friends. Their damage is increased by 100% for every 0.1 seconds their base attack cooldown is reduced by this ability, stacking multiplicatively.

Ultimate Ability

Quivering Palm (melee) - Stoki leaps out and attacks five random enemies with extremely powerful palm thrusts. Over the next 10 seconds, all affected enemies take massive damage over time.

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 is time to celebrate Faerûn's winter solstice once again, this time with the next companion character from Baldur's Gate 3 coming to Idle Champions along with a stunning rework of the first Event Champion we ever released!

Halsin the Archdruid has arrived all the way from the Emerald Grove. Our first Featured Champion is a devout follower of Silvanus who thrives in good-aligned formations. Halsin can be unlocked during Simril from December 4th through 25th.

The second Featured Champion is Stami "Stoki" Gackle, and she has received a significant reworked to focus on Champions who attack quickly. The 2024 Champion Spotlight for Stoki arrives on Friday, December 6th and the reworked Stoki will become available in Simril starting on Wednesday, December 11th.

For details on Simril 8 - and to learn about our Winterfest Celebration - read on!

Featured Champions

Halsin

Halsin, the esteemed Archdruid of the Emerald Grove, is a wise and powerful elf dedicated to the protection and preservation of nature. After being captured by goblins allied with the Absolute, he escaped and now fights to protect his grove and its inhabitants from this encroaching evil. He channels his deep connection to the natural world to aid his allies in their quests.

Learn more about Halsin in his Champion Spotlight.

Stoki

Stami Gackle was a fun-loving and reckless youth, but she fled her home when this carefree nature invited tragic loss into her life. She found shelter in Waterdeep with the monks of the Order of the Even-Handed, who gave her a new name and trained her in their ways. Now a capable adventurer, Stoki approaches problems with intense focus and careful consideration, having earned a reputation for being uncommonly stoic. However, Stoki's patient demeanor belies a warrior's ferocity as she unleashes a rapid flurry of masterful blows to any foe who refuses to back down.

Learn more about Stoki's Rebalance when her Champion Spotlight goes live on Friday, December 6th.
