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

Verthisathurgiesh Mehen has been greatly reworked with this update. He is no less grumpy, but he should now be much easier to use -- assuming you can find the perfect spot for him in your formation!

For details on the Mehen Rework, read on...

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Strahd, Zariel, Elminster (until January 8th, 2028)

• Double Strike(melee) -Mehen leaps out and attacks a random enemy, swinging down and then up with a second swing, scoring a hit each time.

• Always By Your Side - When Mehen is in the formation, Farideh and Havilar become eligible for the current adventure, even if a Patron, Variant, or other restriction would say otherwise.

• Grumpy - Mehen gains a stack of Grumpy for each of the following checks that is met. He increases the damage of all Champions in the formation by 100% for each stack of Grumpy he has, stacking multiplicatively.
  
  • Adjacent to Farideh
    
  • At least two columns behind Havilar
    
  • At the top of the column
    
  • At least three Champions in the column(s) in front of him
    
  • At least two Champions in the column(s) behind him
    
  • Adjacent to Champions with an average base attack cooldown of 5 sec or less
    
  • Adjacent to at least two Tiefling or Dragonborn Champions
    
  • At least one other Tiefling or Dragonborn in his column
    
  • Within 2 slots of Champions with at least 4 unique classes
    
  • Within 2 slots of Champions with at least 6 unique roles
• Intimidating Presence - When a monster tries to attack any Champion in the formation for the first time, the damage is prevented and the monster is stunned for 5 seconds and takes 200% more damage during this time. If the attacked Champion is Havilar, the duration is 10 seconds instead.
  
• Gruff - Mehen increases Gold Find of the formation by 100% for every stack of Grumpy that he has, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• Expose Weakness - When a Champion adjacent to Mehen applies a stun, knockback, slow, or root, the enemy takes 1000% more damage for 10 seconds. If Farideh is adjacent to Mehen, she prioritizes attacking those enemies. This debuff does not stack, but the duration is extended if it applies again before it expires.

• Fighting Force - Mehen increases the effect of Grumpy by 100% for each DPS Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applying to the post-stack value.
  
• Father Figure - Mehen increases the effect of Grumpy by 150% for each Champion in the formation who is 20 years old or younger, stacking multiplicatively and applying to the post-stack value.
  
• Found Family - Mehen increases the effect of Grumpy by 300% for each Dragonborn Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively and applying to the post-stack value. Farideh and Havilar both gain the Dragonborn species when this spec is chosen.

• Lightning Breath(magic) -Mehen breathes a cone of lightning that hits all enemies in the area. If it hits more than 5 enemies, or a boss, it stuns all enemies for 10 seconds.

• Selflessness

• Frugal
  Increases all Gold found by 10%.

Welcome to our 2024 End of Year Update!

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for supporting Idle Champions this year through some very big transitions. We started the year with our seventh season in January, rolled out Guide and Collections Quests in February, introduced Events 2.0 in March, and transitioned to Platinum in October. It has been a very busy year!

In this update, we're addressing some long-running player feedback with multiple QoL changes. We're also fixing some over-tuned Champion scaling issues, with dismantles for affected Champions to compensate. While this update does not address everything players have been asking for, there's a lot to be excited about that will make your Idle Champions experience smoother and more fun, no matter what kind of player you are!

As always, we look forward to reading your feedback on these changes, and we'll see you in 2025!




Introducing a new UI feature to help you find your next quest, the Active Tasks Dialog!

We want this to be a one-stop shop when you question what to do next. From here, you can quickly check which Guide and Collection Quests are closest to being completed, your current Event completion progress, Daily Rewards, and more! The Active Task Dialog will now pop up instead of Daily Rewards on initial load, since they are incorporated into this dialog.

You can access this dialog from the exclamation mark button above the bench next to the event button.


Here are all the upcoming changes to the UI you can expect to see!

• The Champion Search feature has been updated with a new feature to help you search based on a Champion's attack speed! This can be found in the Base Attack filter as a sliding bar.

The following changes have been made to the Collections screen:

• Added Debuff role to the Champion Collection filter
  
• Improved performance of scrolling many collections
  
• Added Shiny/Golden indication to the Equipment Collection
  
• Added Event to source filter for the Feat Collection
  
• Guide and Collection quest box indicates how many quests are ready to turn in
  
• Collections: Added new color coding system to progress bars:
  
  • Light Green counts towards Progress
    
  • Gold counts towards Premium Progress
    
  • Dark Green does not count towards overall progress
• Collections: Time Gates no longer counts towards overall progress
  
• Collections: Campaign progress now includes progress from campaigns you have not yet unlocked

• We've increased the highest area from 2001 to 2501! Hope your formation is ready to tackle the incredibly powerful monsters in these higher areas!

We're adding in some highly requested Feats for 2 Champions: Nrakk and Briv!

• Heightened Focus: Increases the damage of all Champions by 10% and Nrakk's ultimate now hits once and sets his Ki Points to 15 without any mini-game. This will be added to Nrakk's Feat list!
  
• Perfect Focus: Increases the damage of all Champions by 200% and Nrakk's ultimate now hits once and sets his Ki Points to 30 without any mini-game. This can be found in Vajra's Patron shop for 100,000 Symbols of Vajra.
  
  • If both the Heightened Focus and Perfect Focus Feats are equipped, the 30 ki points will take precedence when using the ultimate.
• Accurate Acrobatics: Briv's Unnatural Haste will always skip the guaranteed number of areas, with no chance to skip an additional one. This can be found in Mirt's Patron shop for 100,000 Ruby Coins.
  
  • Note: The launch for this Feat has been delayed while we address last-minute bugs discovered in testing. We hope to release it before the end of the year.

• We've implemented a cap on Spurt's slot 6 equipment item, Ultimate Cooldown. Its maximum increase is now 5280 seconds while at an item level cap of 21750, without any gilding.
  
  • We'll be enabling a 1 week full dismantle for Spurt due to this change. All item levels over the cap will be refunded automatically.

We've had to change some of Rust's numbers to help balance him; see the changes below.

• Rust's base effect of his One Gold Piece ability has been changed from 10% to 5%
  
• Rust's effect of his "I Know Those Guys" Feat has been changed from 20% to a 10% increase to the effect of One Gold Piece
  
• Rust's effect of his "All I Need" Feat changed from 40% to a 20% increase to the effect of One Gold Piece
  
  • We'll be enabling a 1 week full dismantle for Rust due to these changes.

• We've updated Yorven's Danger Sense ability so that it now targets all Champions in the formation and is no longer positional.

• Dungeon Master's Specialization Special Guest Star has been updated to target the full seat of Champions now rather than 1 singular Champion!

• Fen's Patron Oath has been updated so that as long as she is in a party, her Patron's Oath will affect all parties.

• Harvestguard Presto will be available for 20,000 gems in the Gem Shop, and the Feat that was available during the Anniversary Celebration (Room to Breathe) is now available for 50,000 gems!
  
• Additionally, with this update, we will retire our Starter Packs, replacing them with new ones that include Platinum. You will find them on the Platinum purchase page in the in-game shop.

Stami Gackle was a fun-loving and reckless youth, but she fled her home when this carefree nature invited tragic loss into her life. She found shelter in Waterdeep with the monks of the Order of the Even-Handed, who gave her a new name and trained her in their ways. Now a capable adventurer, Stoki approaches problems with intense focus and careful consideration, having earned a reputation for being uncommonly stoic. However, Stoki's patient demeanor belies a warrior's ferocity, as she unleashes a rapid flurry of masterful blows to any foe who refuses to back down.

Stoki has received a significant rework along with a new niche focused on Champions who attack quickly. To support her kit, we are updating the Champion Search starting today as builds roll out to allow players to search by Champions based on their base attack cooldown. Let's talk about all things Stoki!



Patron Eligibility: Vajra, Strahd, Elminster (until December 11, 2027)

• Flurry of Blows(melee) -
  Stoki leaps out and attacks random enemies with her fists.

• Focused Strike - When Stoki attacks, she gains a Focus Point for each enemy she hits. She increases the damage of all Champions with a base attack cooldown of 4.0s or faster by 10% for each Focus Point she has, stacking multiplicatively. Focus Points cap at 100 and are reduced by 50% (rounded down) when changing areas.
  
• Golden Palm - Enemies that have been attacked by Stoki at any point in the current area drop 100% more gold when killed for each Focus Point she has, stacking additively.
  
• Building Focus - Stoki keeps track of the total Focus Point she has gained in the current adventure. If Stoki's Focus Points are capped for a given area, she still counts new ones towards this ability. Upon reaching certain milestones, the following effects activate:
  - 100 Focus Points: Encouragement - Champions adjacent to Stoki have their base attack cooldowns lowered by 0.5s.
  - 1000 Focus Points: Flurry of Blows - For every 1000 levels Stoki has, she attacks an additional target with each attack. She prefers to attack different targets but will attack the same target multiple times if she has already attacked everyone.
  - 5000 Focus Points: Leadership - Champions adjacent to Stoki have a 0.45% chance to reset their base attack cooldown after attacking for each Focus Point she currently has. Caps at 90%.
  - 12500 Focus Points: Overflow - When Stoki attacks an enemy that she already attacked, there is a 20% chance the enemy will be stunned for 3 seconds.
  - 25000 Focus Points: Explosion - If Stoki hits the same enemy two or more times with the same base attack, power radiates from the enemy, dealing 5 seconds worth of BUD damage to itself and all other nearby enemies. Triggers with each extra hit.
  
• Frenzied Friends - Stoki additively increases the Focus Points cap of Focused Strike by 10 for each Champion in the formation whose base attack cooldown is 4.0s or lower.

• All Out Assault - Stoki tracks the number of attacks her allies have performed in the past 10 seconds and increases the effect of Focused Strike by 15% for each one, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• Bend It Like Birdsong - Stoki counts the number of Champions in the formation with a DEX score of 16 or higher. For each such Champion, her base attack cooldown is decreased by 0.1 seconds, stacking additively, and the effect of Focused Strike is increased by 100%, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• A Little Bit Faster Now - Stoki reduces the base attack cooldown of all Champions with a default base attack cooldown of 6.0 seconds or higher to 4.0 seconds so that they qualify for Frenzied Friends. Their damage is increased by 100% for every 0.1 seconds their base attack cooldown is reduced by this ability, stacking multiplicatively.

•
