{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29347222/d6827caee1d81eaed5337aacebd0ac1b1aa4772a.png Adventures in Idle Champions have always offered up to three Variants to test your mettle... until now! Today, we're introducing Mastery Variants, a new fourth Variant tier available now for the first adventures of nearly every campaign. These variants are not for the faint of heart (or low ilevels). Expect daunting restrictions, objectives beginning at area 1,425, and even tougher Patron versions. Completing them is the ultimate test of formation mastery and your path to fantastic new play rewards!

With Mastery Comes Rewards:

Mastery Variants introduce Medallions, new currencies earned by completing these difficult Variants. Mastery Medallions can be used to unlock Legendary Feats in the new Mastery Shop, and Patron Mastery Medallions unlock Chromatic Skins in the Patron Shops. Choose Carefully! You won't be able to earn every reward released today from the first batch of Mastery Variants. New Mastery Variants will arrive every month at the end of each event, bringing additional Medallions to earn. Every three months, we'll expand the Mastery and Patron Shops with new Legendary Feats and Chromatic Skins, giving you even more rewards to collect through play!

• Legendary Feats: Spend Mastery Medallions to unlock powerful Legendary Feats in the new Mastery Shop tab!
  • Each Champion can equip one Legendary Feat in its own dedicated feat slot, and Legendary Feats can be upgraded with Scales of Tiamat to increase their power.
  • Four Legendary Feats are available today: Drizzt, Wulfgar, and Pwent have Legendary Feats unlockable through gameplay using Mastery Medallions. Lae'zel's Legendary Feat is included in a new DLC Pack, along with 6 DPS Pigments.
• Chromatic Skins: Complete Patron Mastery Variants to earn Patron Mastery Medallions, then spend them on Chromatic Skins in Patron Shops.
  • Today, Jarlaxle & Hew Maan each receive a new Chromatic Skin, with five dragon-inspired color variants based on the Chromatic Dragons.

Are you ready to take on the challenge? Read on to learn more!

Hey All, The Idle Champions servers will undergo scheduled maintenance starting on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM. During the maintenance window, the game will be unavailable.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29347222/cf95d55493c3d58b13f89b5ba70d5bcc11a8d7e5.png Founders' Day has arrived! Recruit the legendary monster hunter Rudolph van Richten, and rediscover Flex Champions Nahara, Strongheart, and Walnut with their fresh rebalances, available today! Complete your gothic looks with eerie new dread-domain skins and familiars released throughout the month!

Celebrations are underway to commemorate the founding of the Free City of Waterdeep. Founders Day attracts huge crowds to the Field of Triumph, where audiences watch illusory shows about Waterdeep's history and martial exhibitions by notable Champions and the renown city guard. Festivities have also brought an ancient power from Avernus, first layer of the Nine Hells. A fallen angel has arrived to collect souls for the Blood War...

Event Updates

This update includes an exciting change to our event structure, with an expansion of featured updates for Champions. Instead of a single reworked Champion this month, THREE of this event's Champions have had targeted rebalances, pumping up their numbers to make them more effective in your formations. You'll find updates to Nahara, Strongheart, and Walnut available for flex slots now!

Featured Champions

Van Richten

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29347222/1a6c8e325f999e8357c8c995b75086c232fb9eb7.pngLearn more about Van Richten in his Champion Spotlight.

Flex Champions

Flex Slots allow players to unlock additional Champions and earn chests duringevents, choosing from a pool of retired Champions associated with the event.This collection of retired Champions includes the Champions from previous years of theevent as well as some Champions whose events have been retired.This event's Flex Slot pool includes the following Champions, three of which have been rebalanced: Deekin SEAT 1 Nahara - REBALANCED SEAT 3 Xander SEAT 5 Sgt. Knox SEAT 6 Freely SEAT 7 Umberto SEAT 7 Vin Ursa SEAT 7 Tess SEAT 8 Walnut - REBALANCED SEAT 8 Aeon SEAT 10 Strongheart - REBALANCED SEAT 11

Nahara Rebalance

• To Amuse or Avenge is an interesting speed and damage combo ability. We're happy with the speed effect, but have adjusted the damage from additive to multiplicative so that it's much more effective at boosting Nahara's damage at low stacks. We've also made it so that feats and equipment buffing this ability will affect the pre-stack value, providing more oomph if she's well-equipped.
• Strong Society is Nahara's affiliation synergy and was her featured pre-stack ability. Unfortunately, it was only buffed by a single specialization choice. To fix this, we've swapped her Ultimate Cooldown equipment over to buff this ability, which should provide for a much larger damage boost if you're running a full Black Dice Society formation with decent equipment levels.
• In addition to the above changes, we have redone Nahara's upgrades to align with his kit updates.

Strongheart Rebalance

• Justice Needs Champions is Strongheart's base buff, and has been bumped up a touch given as he's in a higher bench seat.
• Our main change to Strongheart is to adjust all three of his specialization choices to be buffed pre-stack by feats and equipment, rather than post-stack. This will be especially powerful for people who run his A Righteous Event specialization at high stacks.
• In addition to the above changes, we have redone Strongheart's upgrades to align with his kit updates.

Walnut Rebalance

• Documancer was a bit of a NOMBO for Walnut. Since you start each area with zero stacks and must kill enemies to get stacks, it is very ineffective when you reach your wall. We've opted to adjust how the stacks reset, removing only half of them when changing areas instead of resetting them. Additionally, feats and equipment that buff this ability will now apply to the pre-stack value, rather than post-stack.
• Job's Done intention was to give you a damage bonus at the start of each area so you can get that very important first Documancer stack. With the changes to Documancer, it's more of a passive buff that encourages you to hurry along. We've increased its magnitude and duration to keep it at least somewhat relevant.
• Wolfnut's temporary hit point shield was some of the only health Walnut received to tank with, so we've increased its magnitude. We've also given Walnut a health-boosting piece of equipment (replacing her Ultimate Damage equipment) and bumped up her base health a bit.
• We haven't made any changes to Contractual Obligations, since it's just a basic health share ability. The changes to Walnut's max health and equipment should, however, improve this ability's effectiveness.
• Pen-Paws was a good ability in theory, but just didn't have modern numbers. We've changed the stacking from additive to multiplicative, which gives it several orders of magnitude more impact when fully stacked, as it will definitely be when you're at or near your wall.
• The Co-Signer specialization's base effect has been doubled to provide more impact in formations with multiple "C"-Team Champions.
• The Temporary Alliance specialization has been changed from additive to multiplicative to give Walnut more synergy in unaffiliated formations.
• In addition to the above changes, we have redone Walnut's upgrades to align with his kit updates.

Event Augments

• Golden Offers: One of your weekly offers will be Golden during this event. Golden offers provide an additional 10% discount! The Golden tag persists when an offer is rerolled.
• 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. Every tier two or higher event variant completed automatically applies 100 Tiny Blacksmithing Contracts to the variant's Champion's equipment for free!
• Challenge Week: A Mastery Challenge will start on the third week of the event, providing opportunities to prove your formation building skills and earn unique rewards.
• Supercharged Damage Boon: The Global Damage Boon is supercharged, granting 2,000,000% additional damage per level, instead of 200% (stacking multiplicatively).

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

Once a mere doctor from the dread domain of Darkon, Rudolph van Richten was forced down a haunted and tragic path of revenge after losing his wife and son to the cruelty of monsters. Now, as a legendary vampire hunter, he stands undaunted against the evils that dwell within the mists. Van Richten has trained a myriad of successors to his legacy throughout the years, including fellow Champion, Ez.

Rudolph van Richten is a Support, Hunter, and Debuff Champion who has dedicated his life to fighting evil, especially the undead. Van Richten supports Champions in the column in front of him, and this support increases as more undead are defeated. Undead foes are often encountered, as his greatest enemy Strahd summons them to get in his way. Once unlocked, you can find this human cleric in Seat 10 (Tyril). To learn everything you need to know about this cursed vampire hunter featured in the latest D&D TRPG book: Ravenloft, the Horrors Within, read on!

Brother Uriah Macawber is a native of Ravenloft, born in the dread domain of Darkon under the iron rule of Azalin Rex. After a horrifying childhood encounter at the Carnival with the demonic entity known as The Caller, Uriah would embrace the worship of the goddess Ezra, Lady of the Mists, offering protection from the forces of darkness to all those in need. Upon joining with the other future members of The Black Dice Society at the infamous House of Lament, Uriah would go on to find true love with his teammate, the undead Aasimar, Nahara... and would eventually discover the dark truth of both the nature of his deity and his mysterious connection to his former liege, the lich-king Azalin Rex.

It's the Summer Solstice in Faerûn, which means it is time for Dragondown and the Court of the Summer Queen Celebration!

While the City of Waterdeep celebrates Dragondown by burning dragon effigies to symbolize the city's victories over invading dragons, some smaller celebrations focus on ceremonial bonfires and charms, with mock-spells and chanted prayers performed as the sun sets. But something has gone wrong in Luskan this year, where locals have drawn the ire of a Bronze Dragon and its kin...

Trixie the Pixie, a long-time antagonist to the Champions, often appearing astride a charmed creature and always up to some mischief, finally chooses the winning side and joins the Champions in today's Dragondown Event! Our second Featured Champion, Brother Uriah, will be receiving a significant update, with a new Champion Update blog coming on Friday, June 5th, before his launch next Wednesday, June 10th. For details on Dragondown Year 9, and the Court of the Summer Queen Celebration, read on!

Driven to desperation by her many failed attempts at seizing power and influence, Trixie sets out to try a new scheme. She's seen firsthand that the Champions are always hiring. If she can't beat them, she'll join them!

If she can't beat them, she'll join them!

Trixie the Pixie is a Support, Debuff, and Control Champion who provides new options for creating formations with small (fairy, gnome, goblin, halfling, kender, kobold, and plasmoid) Champions. She increases the damage of Champions next to her, and this buff grows as you increase the number of small Champions in your formation. To help with this, she reduces the size of any non-small Champions in the two formation slots behind her and any Champions who share a species with either of them. Once unlocked, you can find this fairy druid in Seat 8 (Delina). To learn everything you need to know about this small Champion with serious swagger, read on!

This buff lasts until the area is changed or until Trixie uses her ultimate again, whichever comes first.
• Shrinking Dust - Champions in the formation slots directly behind Trixie are sprinkled with Shrinking Dust, which reduces them in size by 50% and makes them count as Small for abilities and variant restrictions that care about size.

Lucius Virion-Elluin Elenasto was born to high nobility. He thought he knew what he was getting into when he joined the Heroes of Aerois, but then he met his first cow. Dreadful, evil creatures. Lucius is slowly coming out of his nobility shell as he continues to learn the true value of comradery, friendship, and a world without barriers.

Lucius has needed an update for a while now, and we're happy to finally dive in and modernize his design. As an added surprise to this event, we've also made some small updates to how each of the other Heroes of Aerois Champions (Aila, Qillek, Sentry, and Nova) contributes stacks of Aerois Synergy! Lets take a look at the new-and-improved Lucius Virion-Elluin Elenasto and the updates to his friends!

Lucius

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29347222/1933ddfd466dc10ed55c22ffd0559cad3db61e4e.png Lucius NAME 7 SEAT 2.5% CRIT CHANCE 100% CRIT DAMAGE Male (He/Him) GENDER 76 AGE Lawful Neutral ALIGNMENT 5 OVERWHELM Elf (High) SPECIES Sorcerer CLASS DPS / Debuff / Control / Breaker ROLES Heroes of Aerois AFFILIATION STR: 13 DEX: 14 CON: 13 INT: 11 WIS: 13 CHA: 18 TOT: 82 Patron Eligibility: Zariel, Elminster (until April 8, 2029)

Abilities

Passive Abilities

• Chromat Caster - Lucius alternates his attacks between two spells: Acid Splash and Ray of Frost.

Basic Attack

• Acid Splash (magic) - Lucius attacks a random enemy with Acid Splash, dealing damage. Prefers enemies not affected by acid.
• Ray of Frost (magic) - Lucius attacks the furthest enemy with Ray of Frost, dealing damage and also damaging all enemies along a line between him and the enemy.

Formation Abilities

• Arcane Chromat - Acid - Enemies damaged by Acid Splash gain one stack of Acid. Each stack of Acid causes the enemy to take 400% more damage from all of Lucius' subsequent attacks, stacking multiplicatively up to 10 times.
• Arcane Chromat - Cold - Enemies damaged by Ray of Frost are slowed by 50% for 10 seconds. Enemies slowed by this ability take 400% more damage from all of Lucius' attacks for each slow, stun, or root affecting them (stacking multiplicatively), including this slow.
• Elemental Adept - When an enemy is affected by both of Lucius' Arcane Chromat abilities at the same time they are stunned for 3 seconds. When the stun expires they "explode" with acid and ice, applying one stack of Acid and dealing 10 seconds of BUD-based damage to themselves and all enemies in a small radius. The exploding enemy's Arcane Chromat - Cold debuff is then consumed.
• Aerois Synergy - Lucius contributes 2 stacks to Aerois Synergy every time Elemental Adept is triggered; if a boss enemy is combo'd it adds an additional 8 stacks (10 total). Lucius' maximum number of stacks is 200 plus the highest area completed in the current run divided by 5 (rounded down). 10% of his contributed stacks are removed when changing areas. Lucius' base damage is increased by 50% times the total number of Aerois Synergy stacks, with this bonus doubling for every 100 total stacks.
• Armor Eating Acid - Enemies with segmented health lose 1 extra segment when Lucius damages them with his Acid Splash attack or Elemental Adept explosion.

Specializations

• Dichromancy - Lucius gains a Dichromancy stack every time the Elemental Adept ability triggers an explosion. Lucius' damage is increased by 100% for each Dichromancy stack he has, stacking multiplicatively up to 25 times. Stacks reset when changing areas.
• Corrosion Master - Lucius attacks twice with his Acid Splash before switching to Ray of Frost. Additionally, enemies affected by at least 2 stacks of Acid take 400% more damage from all of Lucius' attacks.
• Lingering Chill - Lucius attacks twice with his Ray of Frost before switching to Acid Splash. When an enemy explodes and loses their Arcane Chromat - Cold debuff, they gain a Lingering Chill debuff which slows them by 25% and lasts for 20 seconds. Additionally, enemies affected by at least 2 slow effects take 400% more damage from all of Lucius' attacks.

Ultimate Ability

• Prismatic Spray(magic) -Eight multi-coloured rays flash from Lucius' hand in a cone shape. Each enemy in the cone takes acid/cold damage and receives both the Arcane Chromat - Acid and Arcane Chromat - Cold effects (causing them to freeze and then explode in several seconds due to Elemental Adept).

Additional Champion Updates!

As part of the exciting updates for Lucius above, we've updated his Aerois Synergy ability so that the Aerois Synergy pool only loses 10% of Lucius' contributed stacks when changing areas. Based on how that played, we decided to make the same change to the Aerois Synergy abilities for Aila, Qillek, Sentry, and Nova.

Electrified enemies take additional damage equal to 10% times the total number of Aerois Synergy stacks.

After a such long and cold winter, the citizens Daggerford are eager to celebrate the Festival of Fools: a day of feasting, drinking, and general foolishness. People don brightlycolored 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 as returned for Year 9, introducing Tasslehoff Burrfoot, everyone's favorite 'borrower' and Hero of the Lance, as well as bringing a major update to Lucius Elenasto, the Arcane Chromat!

Tas is the beating heart of the Heroes of the Lance, and his knack for 'borrowing' somehow manages to solve more problems than it causes.

Excitable, friendly, and insatiably curious, Tasslehoff Burrfoot is a kender of no small renown. Tas is the beating heart of the Heroes of the Lance, and his knack for 'borrowing' somehow manages to solve more problems than it causes. While Tas may not see himself as a hero, he is fearless in the face of Krynn's greatest dangers, and he always comes to the aid of his friends.

Tasslehoff Burrfoot is a Support and Speed Champion who buffs Champions in one of the back three columns of the player's choice. His diversionary nature strengthens that column at the cost of positional formation abilities next to him, and his wanderlust further increases his support as the party remains in an area. Finally, his habit to borrow items speeds up progression in areas with quest items. To learn everything you need to know about this kender rogue with a god as his best friend, read on!

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! Learn about the Deekin Champion Update below!

Born frail yet gifted with an uncanny aptitude for magic, Raistlin Majere is the Sorcery to his older twin brother Caramon's Sword. 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. Together with his fellow Heroes of the Lance, Raistlin wields his formidable arcane talents against Takhisis, the Dragon Queen.

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. Learn about Krynn's greatest mage below!

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.

"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!

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!

Kyre

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29347222/9a83d7a75a790038d2ec4f489d552bea9ed5ca04.png 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...

Donaar

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 the busiest times for dragons... or so I've been told by my new best friend, Donaar Blit'zen." Learn more about Donaar in his Champion Spotlight when it launches on February 6th!

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. They excelled in body, mind, and spirit, finding peace in exercise, meditation, and crafts, yet always yearned for more - to someday go beyond the monastery walls. Upon coming of age, Kyre chose their own name and at last set out on a pilgrimage across Faerûn to bring light to the dark places where it's needed most.

Kyre is a Support and Control Champion whose Radiant Soul ability increases the damage of adjacent Champions. This Sun Soul Monk can stun enemies, gains power as those enemies are attacked, and helps allies score devastating critical hits.
