Tags: idle, champions, event, new content, update, eric, mehen, wintershield.

It's considered lucky to possess and examine a map on Wintershield, so put on your most durable boots and head out into the streets of Waterdeep to claim one for yourself!

Wintershield 8 runs from January 1–22 and introduces Eric the Cavalier, whom some of you may recognize from the 1980s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. Our first Featured Champion, Eric is a Support, Tanking, and Gold Find Champion with knockback capabilities. Eric can be unlocked starting today.

Our second Featured Champion is none other than Verthisathurgiesh Mehen, dragonborn mercenary and adoptive father of twin tiefling daughters. Mehen is the latest Champion to receive a significant rework, and he will become available to unlock starting next week on January 8.

For more details on Wintershield, read on!

Featured Champions

Eric the Cavalier

    Eric is the Cavalier of the group of friends trapped in the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. Known for his sarcasm and frequent cowardice, he's often the butt of jokes. Yet, when danger strikes, Eric's bravery emerges, and he uses his magical shield to protect his friends. Despite his complaints and fears, his loyalty and courage make him an essential part of the group's quest to find their way home.

Learn more about Eric in his Champion Spotlight.

Verthisathurgiesh Mehen

    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, Farideh & Havilar, Mehen remains resilient in his sense of self and his abilities with a falchion.

Learn more about Mehen when his spotlight goes live on January 3rd!

    Eric is the Cavalier of the group of friends trapped in the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. Known for his sarcasm and frequent cowardice, he's often the butt of jokes. Yet, when danger strikes, Eric's bravery emerges, and he uses his magical shield to protect his friends. Despite his complaints and fears, his loyalty and courage make him an essential part of the group's quest to find their way home.
Eric is a Support, Tanking and Gold Find Champion who reluctantly protects his friends while trapped in a foreign world. He enhances his allies' knockback capabilities while shielding them from ranged and magical attacks. This Cavalier is versatile in how he buffs the formation, all while keeping an eye out for Gold and Corrupted Gems.
