Idle Champions: Wild Beyond the Witchlight, Part 8 
Posted in Idle Champions.

This week's update continues The Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign with two new adventures and adventure variants. It's time to return to the Feywild and explore the final Prismeer domain!

We've travelled to Hither, Thither, and now we have arrived in Yon. We're off to rescue a friend-of-a-friend at the Motherhorn theater before heading to the Palace of Heart's Desire to help Zybilna save Prismeer.

Keep in mind that you will need to have completed the previous two Wild Beyond the Witchlight Adventures, The Minions of Endelyn Moongrave and Love Unsoiled, in order to access these new Adventures.

    • You can only use Champions that have DEX as their highest ability score, including ties.
    • Complete area 900

The Palace of Heart's Desire

Update to Vi

Vi - Vi receives a small buff during our Spring Balance Update, and now we've had a chance to update a few more of her abilities:
  • Vi should always finish her current attack before switching to her "Bored Now" attack (so that Catch and Release has a chance to trigger).
  • When changing areas, Vi's Baubles is destroyed and the bonus gold is immediately collected.
  • The gold bonus of Vi's Bauble remains even if she is benched.
