Idle Champions: Grand Revel 8  
Posted in Idle Champions.

It's time for another day of dancing in Chult!

Grand Revel runs until February 26th. Featured Champions for this year's event include a new Thri-Kreen Ranger and a returning Kobold Fighter - and together, they seek to empower non-human formations like never before!

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...

Featured Champions

Kalix

    By wood, river, cavern, and vale, nomads of the Shaar spread the tale of Kalix the Exile. Gifted in combat from a young age, this thri-kreen warrior amassed a collection of trophies, garnering acclaim from the others of his tribe—the Krakk't. However, the hunter was never satisfied. He dreamed of quarry none would dare. At the Hill of Memories, during the yearly gathering, Kalix attacked the emissaries of the other tribes. None could deny his prowess. For this act, he was banished and forced to wander the world, searching for purpose. Now Kalix offers his services to all who promise a worthy hunt and woe unto any foe he marks as his prey.

Kalix is a Support Champion who excels in formations featuring unorthodox species. This Thri-kreen harnesses his telepathic abilities to boost the damage of Champions that aren't next to him, and he's skilled at tracking down his favored foe: humanoids. Kalix also increases the damage of your active party when he is positioned in the front column of a formation, making him an invaluable resource once you have access to multiple adventuring parties.

Learn more about Kalix in his Champion Spotlight.

Ishi

    Ishi Snaggletooth hails from a warren of Kobolds living in the sewers under Baldur's Gate. Always the type to be more curious than careful, she accidentally stowed away on a ship headed to Port Nyanzaru. There, she met her dear friend, the Firbolg Littlefox. Often shunned by humans, Ishi hopes to prove herself as a true hero however she can. Ishi's biggest claim to fame is the defeat of the known swordsman, Hershel Von Saberburg, and since that day she's touted herself as a renowned duelist to anyone that'll listen to her.

It's been a long time since Ishi joined Idle Champions, and on February 12, 2025, she will be the lucky recipient of a new Rework set to make her a powerful component of non-human formations.

Learn more about Ishi in her Champion Spotlight coming this Friday, February 7th!

Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Chatkcha (ranged) - Kalix throws a Chatkcha at the closest enemy, dealing 1 hit.

Passive Abilities

  • Thri-kreen Telepathy - While Kalix is in the front column of any party, your active party's damage is increased by 100%. This means this ability affects your active party even if Kalix is not in your active party (as long as they're in the front-most column of their party).

Formation Abilities

  • Mindlink - Kalix telepathically increases the damage of all Champions not adjacent to him by 100%.
  • Unorthodox Alliance - Kalix gains an Ally stack for each Champion in the formation that is not a Standard species. He increases the effect of Mindlink by 100% for each Ally stack, stacking multiplicatively. Standard species are Aasimar, Dragonborn, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Goliath, Halfling, Human, Orc, Tiefling, Half-Orc, and Half-Elf.
  • Chameleon Carapace - Enemies that attempt to choose Kalix as a target do not, and instead choose to attack another Champion, assuming another valid target exists. The effect of Mindlink is increased by 100% each time this triggers, stacking multiplicatively up to 25 times and resetting when changing areas.
  • The Deadliest Prey - Humanoids are Kalix's favorite foe. All Champions deal 400% additional damage against Kalix's favored foes.

Specializations

  • Strength in Numbers - The most represented species in your formation grant additional Ally stacks for Unorthodox Alliance (even if it is not a Standard species). In the case of a tie, Champions from all tied species grant an additional Ally stack.
  • Creative Camouflage - The maximum stacks of Chameleon Carapace are doubled, and 50% of the current stacks are not reset when you change areas.
  • One For You, One For Me - Kalix gains the Speed role and each time a monster spawns that is not his favored foe, one or more favored foes simultaneously spawn. The effect of The Deadliest Prey is also increased by 400%.

Ultimate Ability

  • Gythka Strike (melee) - Kalix makes 5 attacks against random enemies, dealing ultimate damage and stunning them for 5 seconds due to his paralyzing poison.
