Idle Champions: Festival of Fools 8

Permalink

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, grimm, beadle & grimm, festival of fools.

After such a long and cold winter, the citizens of Daggerford are eager to celebrate the Festival of Fools: a day of feasting, drinking, and general foolishness. People don brightly colored and garish clothing, dancing in the street like court jesters and competing with one another to see who can pull off the most foolish (yet harmless) pranks.

During the festivities, a concerned villager approaches the party and asks for help. She says that her husband's prank is to try and taunt a frost giant...

Festival of Fools 8 has arrived, and with it, a unique event: Beadle & Grimm have been separated and updated to become two separate Champions! For more information on this month's Featured Champions, read on -- but first, let's talk about an update we are making to Events!

Events Update: Choosing Your Path

When we introduced Events 2.0, players would pick from a range of Flex Champions for each event. However, if players picked the same Champion multiple times, that Champion's progress would continue where it left off. Moving forward, that need not be the case.

For those of you who were playing last year, you likely have a selection of Champions in each event with some level of Event progress. Starting with Festival of Fools, if you choose a Flex Champion who already has event tier progress, you will be presented with a choice: You can choose to maintain that progress and pick up where you left off (automatically triggering any Champion Event Buffs you unlocked last year), or you may choose to reset that progress and re-collect Gold Chests and Bonus rewards from Augments as you complete each variant tier again.

Featured Champions

Beadle

Beadle may not have the strength of his best friend Grimm, but his quick wit and sharp instincts have saved the day more times than he can count. Whether managing the Giant’s Bane Tavern or outsmarting enemies, Beadle brings cunning to every adventure.

Beadle is a cunning Support, Gold Find, and Control Champion with powerful synergies when paired with his best friend, Grimm. He boosts nearby Champions' damage, steals extra gold from enemies while stunning them, and his support scales with a specialization choice tailored to your Champions' gear.

Learn more about Beadle in his Champion Spotlight.

Grimm

Grimm’s immense strength and steadfast loyalty make him the perfect partner for Beadle’s clever schemes. A giant in both stature and courage, Grimm is as at home smashing through foes as he is keeping the Giant’s Bane Tavern running smoothly.

Grimm is a DPS, Tanking, and Breaker Champion who thrives alongside his best friend, Beadle. Grimm's damage and armor-breaking abilities intensify as the battle rages on, with specialization choices that let him taunt enemies, find gold, or slay giants.

Learn more about Grimm in his Champion Spotlight.

Flex Champions

Flex Slots allow players to unlock additional Champions and earn chests during events, choosing from a pool of retired Champions associated with the event. This collection of retired Champions includes the Champions from previous years of the event as well as some Champions whose events have been retired. This event's Flex Slot pool includes:

Event Augments

Boon XP!: The boon system has been reworked in this event! Eligible items purchased with Platinum now grant Boon XP, which unlocks boon levels. The boon level cap has also been removed. Check out all the details here.
Extra Benefits: When the event ends, you'll earn Scales of Tiamat* based on what you completed within the event. You'll get 250 Scales for every event variant of tier 2 or above that you have completed and 250 Scales for each Boon XP you've obtained.
*Scales of Tiamat are used in the Legendary Forge to craft Legendary Equipment.
Auto-Blacksmith: Event Champions whose recruitment adventure or variants you complete gain common rarity equipment in all slots, if they don't already have better.
Brothers in Arms: Completing tier 2+ variants for Beadle or Grimm awards double chests.

You can check out which Augments are active at any time by mousing over the Event Banner.

Beadle is a cunning Support, Gold Find, and Control Champion with powerful synergies when paired with his best friend, Grimm.

This month, we're taking the previously single Champion Beadle & Grimm, and moving them to different seats to create two separate Champions! Both Champions have been reworked, allowing you to now field powered-up versions of both Beadle and his buddy Grimm in your formation at the same time! There are some small housekeeping notes since this is such a unique rebalance:

Existing skins will be separated and credited to both Champions Beadle and Grimm (once you unlock him).
Equipment & Item Levels on the former Beadle and Grimm Champion will transfer to the new Beadle.
Most feats on Beadle & Grimm will transfer to Beadle, with the exception of Tavern Brawler and Grappler, which move to Grimm.

Abilities

Basic Attack

Magic Wand (melee/magic) - Beadle bonks a random enemy with a wand. This unleashes two magic missiles that fly out and hit two other random enemies.

Passive Abilities

Inseparable - Beadle & Grimm are so inseparable that if either one qualifies for an adventure restriction based on their tags, ages, ability scores, etc., then both can be used.

Formation Abilities

Brothers In Armors - If Grimm is in the formation, all of Beadle's equipment item levels are increased by Grimm's base average item level.
In The Shadows - Beadle increases the damage of Champions within 2 slots of himself by 400%, and enemies that hit targets affected by this have a 20% chance to miss.
Sticky Fingers - Whenever Beadle attacks an enemy, he causes it to immediately drop 20% of the gold it would award on death. The enemy then stops and checks its pockets, stunning it for 2 seconds. This can only occur to each enemy 5 times.
Share The Glory - Most positional formation abilities that affect Beadle also affect Grimm if he is in the formation. If Grimm is already affected by the same ability, Beadle instead increases the effect of In The Shadows by 800%.
Ultimate Tag Team - When Grimm uses his ultimate ability in the same party as Beadle, Beadle's ultimate ability goes on cooldown and he gains one Tag Team stack. For each Tag Team stack Beadle has, his ultimate cooldown is reduced by 5 seconds, and his next ultimate attack deals 200% more damage, stacking multiplicatively. Tag Team stacks cap at 10 and reset when Beadle uses his ultimate ability.

Specializations

Epic Equipment - The effect of In The Shadows is increased by 20% for each piece of Epic or better equipment on Champions in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

Posted in Idle Champions.

Tags: idle champions, idle, champions, new content, update, champion spotlight, sheila, saturday morning squad, fleetswake.

Sheila is the compassionate heart of a group of young friends whisked away to the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. She reluctantly took on the role of Thief, using her Cloak of Invisibility to move unseen. Sensitive and loyal, Sheila strives to keep her loved ones safe, especially her younger brother, Bobby. Her supportive spirit is a powerful force as they journey together in search of a way back home.

Sheila is a Support and Debuff Champion whose kind heart supports all Good-aligned Champions in the formation. Her magical Cloak of Invisibility allows her to attack unseen, weakening enemy coordination and increasing her allies' critical hit chance and damage. She occasionally collects Potion Reagents when bosses are defeated, allowing you to brew potions. The Apothecary system will be launching on March 12! We'll have more information about it in an upcoming blog.

Volothamp "Volo" Geddarm is a flamboyant world traveler, self-proclaimed expert, and author of such works as Volo’s Guide to Monsters. Known for his bombastic personality and flair for storytelling, Volo has a knack for turning facts into tall tales. Though he’s quick to avoid personal danger, he’s fiercely loyal to his friends — just don’t expect him to cover the tab.

Volo is a Support Champion whose encyclopedic knowledge empowers his allies despite his tendency to overestimate his own expertise. His buffs grow stronger as you complete more collection and guide quests, while his quick thinking ensures the party can regroup when danger strikes.

BW2: Be our 2025 Valentine?

Permalink

Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Tags: event, bw2, valentines, 2025, update.

Happy Valentine's Day Bushwhackers!

The residents of the Commons are putting on a Valentine's Day dance, so you know what that means! Helping with the set-up through one-time and daily quests, plus turn-ins!

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
- Nate will tell you specifically what trophies you need to turn-in before handing in his quest

If you can complete the event, you'll earn this awesome 100% reward: the Valentine's Plushie!
