2024 Champion Spotlight: Sgt. Knox 
Posted in Idle Champions.

    The imposing presence of Sergeant Knox came to Neverwinter when the Mintarn mercenaries were hired to retake the city following the eruption of Mount Hotenow. Soon he became a daily presence and mentor for new Adventurers in the city. Celeste reached out to her old friend following the catastrophic events at Elturel, hoping the veteran mercenary would join the Champions as they face the greatest foe the Sword Coast has ever seen!

Sergeant Alphonse Knox has received a moderate rework to improve his core theme of being an excellent early game party member for Celeste and Makos. For details on the Sgt. Knox Rebalance, read on...
