BW2: March 2026 Bubble Buddies Mini-Event!

Permalink

Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Tags: bw2, march, 2026, mini, event, bubble, buddies, pets.

A Visitor From the Far Far Ranch

The Far Far Ranch is far far away, but there's a visitor that's brought a piece of it to the Commons!

Bea's visiting from the Far Far Ranch and has brought three Bubble Buddies to see if they'll thrive in Bushwhackia.

Bubble Buddies

Bubble Buddies are cute bouncy critters that come in an array of looks and abilities! Let's see the three Bea's brought with her:

Buddies eat Bushy Carrots and output Blorts, which Bea will trade you for in her Ye Bouncy Buddy Boutique store. Watch the buddies get bigger and bigger as you feed them!

Buddies will also eat the more rare Spicy Tofu to output Blorts AND a resource unique to that buddy. Here are the buddies and their unique yields:

Koala Buddy - Gold
Moose Buddy - Gems
Smilodon Buddy - Mana/Power
During Bea's visit, Bushy Carrots and Spicy Tofu can be found in bushes all over Bushwhackia.

Help feed their bouncy bodies, earn Blorts, and redeem prizes! The saying goes, 'Big Buddies have bottomless bellies!'

Instant Egg Incubation!

Bea's brought a machine that can instantly hatch a basic pet egg! You'll need to whack up a lot of fuel to get it working, via a challenging collection quest. Should you manage it quickly, you can even attempt it a couple more times at the cost of some Bush Bucks to repair the egg machine.

A Feeding Frenzy!

Bea and her buddies leave on Wednesday March 11th, so make the most of the opportunity while you can!

Discuss this mini-event on the forums!

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, deekin, founders' day.

A former member of the Dripping Fang clan, Deekin was once a Skald for a White Dragon named Tymofarrar. Once he was released from Tymofarrar's service, he set out to become the most amazing storyteller in all of Faerûn. He yearns to sing and tell stories of heroic deeds, but his songs often devolve into 'tales' of the doom that is coming to him or his companions.

The Story of Doom continues for Deekin Scalesinger.

The kobold whose life was doomed to fail has received a significant rework, modernizing his design, tweaking the numbers, and introducing some new abilities. It's time to take the Story of Doom to even greater heights!

Idle Champions: Fleetswake 9

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, raistlin, deekin, fleetswake.

The party is recruited by one of Waterdeep's merchant guilds to look into a number of mysterious ship disappearances over the past year. Superstitious folk blame Umberlee, but the merchant guild isn't so sure, and as the Fair Seas Festival gets underway your party begins their investigation in the Dock Ward of Waterdeep...

Fleetswake Year 9 finally brings the Heroes of the Lance to Idle Champions, and for us, there was only one choice in who should come first: Raistlin Majere.

Raistlin is available now. We hope you enjoy him. Next week, on March 11, a major update will arrive for Deekin Scalesinger, everyone's favorite troubador who sings about doom. Learn about the changes to Deekin's design when his Champion Update Blog arrives on Friday, March 6.

Learn everything you need to know about Fleetswake below!

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...

Idle Champions: Introducing Raistlin Majere

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, raistlin, heroes of the lance, fleetswake.

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.

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.

Happy Valentine's Day Bushwhackers!

It's not Valentine's without presents! Help stock the stands with Chocolates, Teddy Bears and Roses by turning in Candy Hearts as the stations unlock.

Getting Organized

The event organizer seems a bit frazzled. Why don't you help her out by doing her set-up quests each day? And don't forget to keep those party supplies topped off!

Once the Valentine's dance has started, you get to look for the partner of your choice to share a moment on the dance floor.

Jim & Sasha <3

Jim and Sasha's relationship quests are around. If you haven't married them yet, you'll see either their Dating or Proposal quest line. If they are married, you get to help the pair pack for their honeymoon, or celebrate their anniversary.

Your Secret Admirer

And who is that mysterious note from this year?

Like Rabbits

Aaron's bunnies, Cinnamon and Snowball, have run off and are making like, well rabbits! This is a challenging quest that might take you the better part of the event to complete, as you've got to catch not only Cinnamon and Snowball, but their 100 little bunny babies as well! Good luck!

Nate's Complicated Relationship

Nate's needs your help setting up a date with his one true love: Adventure! When he returns from his "date", he'll bring you back a Trophy for his sister Natalie. Later on, one of the girls will need some support after her Kindler Date dumps her. Ice Cream daily quests ought to help, until it's time to help them through the 5 stages of grief. All five quests will unlock right after each other and then she will have a new daily quest for you.

Battle of the Bands!

If you're all caught up on Jimmie's quest series, he'll challenge Marvin to a battle of the bands! You're the judge, assuming you can stay conscious during their face-melting guitar solos!

Changing Sanctuary Partners!

Now's the only change to break up with your current partner in Sanctuary Village. Sounds harsh, I know. But we've gotten requests to be able to switch who you're dating, so this is how you do it: Talk to your partner, Burl or Faun, and choose the "I think we should break up" chat option. After which you'll be able to date the other person, or even them again. Note you can only do this during the Valentine's event, and cannot do it during the Gift of Love quest.

The Dragon Flight

Remember that dragon that was invited to Nate's birthday but continued to burn the Commons because it was sick? It's back!

This quest replaces Nate's Teddy Bear quest after you've completed his "Crawling Back" quest the previous year.

New This Year

This year's update includes:

- 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

Champion Update: Donaar

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, donaar, acq inc .

"This copper, draconic gentleman claims to know more than one hundred different dragons. Chromatic, metallic -- just tons and tons of dragons -- I'm hoping we can leverage some of these connections in our dealings. None of the dragons I've contacted have gotten back to me, but they're probably just very busy right now. This is one of of the busiest times for dragons... or so I've been told by my new best friend, Donaar Blit'zen."

A somewhat goofy and braggadocious dragonborn, Donaar Blit'zen was the second Champion to come out back in Year 2 of Idle Champions. He is long past due for a major rework, and today we'll talk about how we've modernized his design!

Read on to learn all about Donaar's rework!

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Zariel, Elminster (until February 11th, 2029)

Abilities

Basic Attack

Command (magic) - Donaar casts a random command. His commands target one enemy and deal a small amount of psychic damage in addition to their effect (see the passive Command ability for details).

Passive Abilities

Command Word - Donaar attacks with the Command spell. The Command he chooses with each attack is randomly picked from the following options:
- Hold: the target is stunned for 3 seconds
- Duel: the target berserks, moving 50% faster and attacking twice as often, but dealing 90% less damage
- Cower: the target now has a 50% chance to miss on any attack it makes and takes 200% extra damage
- Droppit: the target drops 200% more gold when it dies
All Commands last until the target dies, unless otherwise noted.

Formation Abilities

Aura of Vitality - Every second, Donaar heals the champion who has lost the most health for 5 health over 10 seconds (1 immediate tick + 10 more ticks each second thereafter). If he targets a champion who already has this effect, it refreshes the duration to 10 seconds, but doesn't immediately tick again.
Lead By Example - Donaar increases the damage of Champions in the same column and the column(s) behind him by 100%.
Decisionist's Extra Vote - When Donaar is in the formation, most abilities that involve stacks are granted 1 extra stack.
Commanding Presence - Enemies affected by one of Donaar's Command Word spells take an additional 100% damage while they are affected by it.

Specializations A

Not So Straightforward - Increases the effect of Lead By Example by 100% for each Chaotic Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
Scales and Horns - Increases the effect of Lead By Example by 125% for each Dragonborn or Tiefling Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
Business Partners - Increases the effect of Lead By Example by 150% for each C-Team or Acquisitions Incorporated affiliated Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

Specializations B

Command: Hold - Donaar casts Command: Hold twice as often with his base attack, and increases the duration of the stun by 2 seconds.
Command: Duel - Donaar casts Command: Duel twice as often with his base attack, and the speed of enemies Donaar berserks is increased by 100%.
Command: Cower - Donaar casts Command: Cower twice as often with his base attack, and the bonus damage taken by cowering targets is increased by 100%.
Command: Droppit - Donaar casts Command: Droppit twice as often with his base attack, and the extra gold dropped is increased by 100%.

Ultimate Ability

Acid Vomit (melee) - Donaar attacks the nearest enemies with his comically oversized sword, then vomits acid in a puddle which deals damage to enemies who walk through it.

Idle Champions: Grand Revel 9

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, kyre, donaar, grand revel.

In the Forgotten Realms, Grand Revel is a day of dancing, music, and the eating of sweet treats of all sorts, from chocolate to red "firemint" candies. But even during such an unparalleled day of joy there are quests to be done and adventures to be had. One such adventure revolves around a missing caravan on Chult -- and the Templar of the Order of the Gauntlet who desperately wants it found...

Grand Revel is back, and with it arrives the latest CNE Original Champion: Kyre, the Sun Soul Monk!

Kyre is available to unlock now, while next week on February 11, a major update arrives for Donaar Blit'zen, the copper dragonborn Decisionist for the Acquisitions Incorporated "C" Team. Learn about the modernization of Donaar's design when his Champion Update Blog arrives on Friday, February 6.

Learn everything you need to know about Grand Revel below!

Featured Champions

Kyre

An unnamed child was born to Damaran refugees fleeing the fall of Bloodstone City at the hands of the Warlock Knights of Vaasa, and orphaned when their parents succumbed to a lingering curse. Taken in by wandering elven monks of Sune, the child grew up in the Waterdhavian Monastery of the Sun, surrounded by compassion, discipline, and the pure light of unconditional love...

Learn more about Kyre in their Champion Spotlight.
