Champion Update: Lucius Elenasto2026-04-03Virion-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
Festival of Fools 92026-04-01After 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 m
Introducing Tasslehoff Burrfoot2026-03-27Excitable, 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 increase

Champion Update: Deekin2026-03-06A 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 t
Fleetswake 92026-03-04The party is recruited by one of Waterdeep's merchant guilds to look into a number of mysterious ship disappearances over the past year.

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.

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, a

Champion Update: Donaar2026-02-06"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 modern
Grand Revel 92026-02-04In 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... 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 A
New Champion: Kyre2026-01-31Kyre 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 l

Champion Update: Binwin2026-01-09Binwin Bronzebottom was a member of a rather infamous adventuring group/company, until he left to spend more time with his family. A grumpy and headstrong dwarf with a penchant for springing traps rather than disarming them, if he's not the first into battle then he's disappointed. There's nary a door, tankard, or acid pit that hasn't felt the wrath of Binwin Bronzebottom at one time or another. These days, when he's not adventuring with the likes of Drizzt and Minsc, Binwin leads a small group of incompetent and eminently replaceable minions through perilous adventures. It has been a long time since Binwin Bronzebottom received a major updat
