Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms

_Ahghairon's Day commemorates the birthday of Ahghairon, the first Open Lord of Waterdeep and founder of the Lords of Waterdeep. In his name, Lords toast Ahghairon and the Watchful Order, while guildmasters toast the Lords in Ahghairon's name, and common folk leave violets at the base of Ahghairon's Tower, the Plinth, and atop the altars of the House of Wonder.

As part of the festivities, the party is tasked with seeking out a Lord of Waterdeep who stepped down long ago. It seems like an easy request – but if it were easy, it wouldn't have come directly from the Open Lord of Waterdeep herself..._ Ahghairon's Day returns with one New Champion and three fresh rebalances! Flint Fireforge, the cantankerous companion who is afraid of lakes and 'allergic' to horses, and the latest Heroes of the Lance Champion to come to the game, is available to unlock today with the launch of the event.

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 Jim, Omin, and Prudence available for flex slots now!

For more information about this year's Ahghairon's Day, read on!

Jim Darkmagic Rebalance

• We've buffed Jim's main Fan Club ability by a small amount, which, considering it's a pre-stack ability, should grant a few more areas of progress if Jim's your main DPS.
• Magical Mystery Tour has been buffed and adjusted to make it easier to maintain stacks. The base effect is much higher, and only 20% of stacks are lost when changing areas instead of all of them.
• Fashion Week was intentionally quite underpowered because it required (mostly paid) skins to max out. Considering how many more skins are available for gems in the modern game, we're switching it from additive to multiplicative and replacing Jim's Ultimate Damage equipment buff with a buff that targets it.
• We also added a new feat for Fashion Week.
• These combined changes, plus an updated set of upgrades, should provide an exciting boost to Jim!

Omin Dran Rebalance

• Omin has been given his long-awaited pre-stack!
• The base effect of Champion of Tymora has been buffed.
• Adventuring Capital now scales up slowly as more stacks are gained.
• Omin's specialization choices are now buffed pre-stack.
• In order to make the above work, we have tweaked the effect of Long Term Investments so it gains stacks slower, but since they're buffed pre-stack, the overall effect is much higher!
• The effect on Omin's gear that buffed Ultimate Damage now buffs all his Specialization choices.

Prudence Rebalance

• Prudence has received a number of powerful buffs to her old but still solid kit.
• Glee's base damage bonus and base stacks have been increased, and it now stacks multiplicatively and is buffed pre-stack by feats and equipment.
• Delight now buffs the base damage of Glee, and its base effect has been increased.
• The number of Glee stacks granted by Resolve has been lowered due to Glee now stacking multiplicatively.
• Frustration hasn't received any changes, but due to some tweaks to her base attack, it now has a chance to add or remove multiple stacks per attack, shortening the frequency of its yo-yo effect.
• The She Hungers spec has had its chance increased.
• Added a new set of Specializations that increase the post-stack effect of Glee based on the number of Champions in the formation.
• Changed her Ultimate Damage gear to instead buff Spec B. This should be more than offset by increases to Prudence's BUD potential.
• Added new feats that buff Spec B.
• Added new feats that increase the number of Eldritch Blast beams she fires with her base attack.

Hobbycraft Skins!

Flint Fireforge has arrived, and he's bringing more than just his legendary axe! Inspired by the master craftsman's passion for woodworking, this month's skins celebrate the hobbies that make each Champion unique. Ever wondered what your favorite Champions get up to when they're not saving the Sword Coast? Discover their creative side with a collection of all-new hobbycraft skins arriving throughout the month in Idle Champions!

Event Augments

We have four returning Augments this month, including the Supercharged Damage Boon, which grants 2 MILLION % additional damage per level (stacking multiplicatively). Use these Augments to help supercharge your Ahghairon's Day Variants & Mastery Challenges!

• 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.

_ Flint Fireforge is many things - a fearless warrior, a renowned craftsman, and a loyal friend to the bitter end. He is the gruff and grumbling fatherly figure among his group of companions, fiercely protective of them despite seeming to be constantly frustrated by their choices (some moreso than others). He is swift to act when danger appears, leading the charge with fury and reckless abandon against the evil forces of Takhisis. Flint is a Support and Tanking Champion who buffs Champions in his column and the column behind him based on how many Champions are adjacent to him. He also decreases the damage Champions take and increases the damage they do if an adventure has lots of Underground areas. Once unlocked, you can find this dwarf fighter in Seat 9 (Makos).

_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.

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.

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! _

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.

_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!

Featured Champions

Trixie

Trixie the Pixie has been a forgettable nuisance for the Champions for a long time, often appearing astride some charmed creature and always up to some mischief. Ambitious and daring, Trixie desperately grasps at a life larger than she's been given, and blames the Champions for their constant meddling in her affairs. 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! Learn more about Trixie in her Champion Spotlight.

Brother Uriah

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. Learn more about Brother Uriah when his Champion Spotlight comes out on June 5th!
