Faerûn's Savage Frontier has no shortage of dangers, but that hasn't stopped the citizens of Triboar from carving out a living in this picturesque stretch of fertile northern farmland.

This year, however, the people of Triboar are in need of aid. As the Highharvestide Festival approaches, bandits have begun causing trouble for farmers attempting to bring in their harvests, and it's up to the Champions to put an end to it!

Highharvestide returns with one New Champion and three fresh rebalances! Caramon Majere, Raistlin's twin brother, and the latest Heroes of the Lance Champion to come to the game, is available to unlock today!

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 Stoki, Pwent, and Corazón available for flex slots now!

For more information about this year's Highharvestide Event, read on!

Flex Champions

Flex Slots allow players to unlock additional Champions and earn chests during events, choosing from a pool of retired Champions associated with the event. This collection of retired Champions includes the Champions from previous years of the event as well as some Champions whose events have been retired. This event's Flex Slot pool includes:

Stoki Rebalance

• We've rebalanced Stoki with a focus on making her gold find ability more comparable to other gold find Champions in her seat whose names start with "Er" and end with "ic".
• We've adjusted Golden Palm to make it more competitive with other Champions in the same bench seat. The base value has been slightly lowered, but it now stacks multiplicatively, allowing for a much higher ceiling.
• Building Focus: Encouragement has been buffed to reduce the base attack cooldown of adjacent Champions by 1 second instead of 0.5 seconds.
• We've made the feat and equipment buffs to Stoki's specializations buff the pre-stack values instead of the post-stack values. This has necessitated some small tweaks to her specialization stacks and base effects:
• All Out Assault now only counts attacks within the last 5 seconds instead of 10, but the base value is twice as large, so it works out to roughly the same values unbuffed, and significantly more when buffed by equipment.
• We've made a similar change to A Little Bit Faster Now, halving the stacks but doubling the base value.
• We have redone all of Stoki's upgrades.

Pwent Rebalance

• We've rebalanced Pwent with a focus on increasing his flexibility and power in both Companions of the Hall and Dwarf-based formations.
• Gutbuster Recruits now only loses half its stacks when changing areas, instead of all of its stacks. This should increase Pwent's effectiveness when completing areas near your wall.
• Bruenor, Me King! can now be buffed by feats and equipment, and these buffs apply to the pre-stack value.
• We've adjusted some of Pwent's specializations to realize more power for dwarf-centered formations:
• Recruiting Drive now causes crits from any Dwarves in the formation to always count towards Gutbuster Recruits.
• Critical Wound's critical hit chance increase is now doubled for Dwarves.
• We have redone all of Pwent's upgrades.

Corazón Rebalance

• We've rebalanced Corazón with a focus on increasing his support number.
• Pirate's Code's effect has been increased based on the number of Champions affected by it, with this additional effect being buffed pre-stack by feats and equipment.
• Honorary Crewmates now buffs the base effect of Pirate's Code based on how many non-neutral Champions it makes neutral.
• G.O.A.T. Pirate has been tweaked to increase its potential. It no longer lasts until reset, but now stacks multiplicatively with a higher base effect and reset when a boss area is completed.
• The Mage Hand specialization now causes Corazón's base attack to also be Magical, allowing him to be used in magic-centered formations.
• We have redone all of Corazón's upgrades.

Feedback on Highharvestide

Year 10 of Idle Champions has begun, and with it, the latest Hero of the Lance: Caramon! What do you think about him and the rebalances to Stoki, Pwent, and Corazón? Let us know!

Born strong of arm and broad of shoulder with a heart of gold, Caramon Majere is the Sword to his younger twin brother Raistlin's Sorcery. Loyal to a fault, Caramon gives his all to protect his beloved friends and family, even (and often) to his detriment. Together with his fellow Heroes of the Lance, Caramon wields his brute strength tempered with good morals against Takhisis, the Dragon Queen.

Caramon is a Tanking and Support Champion whose main buff (a versatile Specialization choice called Raise Spirits) can be duplicated by other Champions in the formation and applied multiple times. Once unlocked, you can find this Human Fighter in Seat 3 (Nayeli).

To learn everything you need to know about Caramon Majere in Idle Champions, read on!

Caramon

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Mighty Blow (melee) - Caramon attacks the nearest enemy for one hit.

Passive Abilities

Caramon has a passive ability that allows him to tag along whenever his brother is allowed in the formation. With Caramon's release, Raistlin will also gain a similar passive ability, ensuring the twins can stand together!

• Brothers Majere (Caramon) - If Raistlin is in the formation, Caramon may be used as well, regardless of any active variant or patron restrictions.
• Brothers Majere (Raistlin) - If Caramon is in the formation, Raistlin may be used as well, regardless of any active variant or patron restrictions.

Raise Spirits Specializations

• Raise Spirits: Encirclement - Caramon increases the damage of all adjacent Champions by 100%.
• Raise Spirits: Overwatch - Caramon increases the damage of all Champions in the same column as him and the column in front of him by 100%.
• Raise Spirits: Spearhead - Caramon increases the damage of all Champions in the two columns behind him by 100%.

Formation Abilities

• Protect the Weak - Caramon increases the health of all Champions targeted by his Raise Spirits Specialization by 10% of his max health. If a Champion is targeted multiple times (via his Allies Specialization), this ability applies multiple times.
• Close Ranks - Whenever Caramon is attacked by an enemy, the effect of his Raise Spirits Specialization is increased by 100%, stacking multiplicatively. This can stack up to 25 times and loses half of its stacks when changing areas.
• Brother's Keeper - Caramon increases the effect of his Raise Spirits Specialization by 100% for each Champion in the formation not affected by Raise Spirits.

Allies Specializations

• Staunch Allies - Caramon recruits all other Tanking Champions in the formation. Caramon's Raise Spirits Specialization emanates from each eligible Champion as if each were a separate formation ability for the purposes of Champions that care about such things.
• Sympathetic Allies - Caramon recruits all other Good Champions in the formation. Caramon's Raise Spirits Specialization emanates from each eligible Champion as if each were a separate formation ability for the purposes of Champions that care about such things.
• Stalwart Allies - Caramon recruits all other Champions in the formation with a STR score of 16 or higher. Caramon's Raise Spirits Specialization emanates from each eligible Champion as if each were a separate formation ability for the purposes of Champions that care about such things.

Ultimate Ability

• Endure All (magic) - Caramon's health is completely refilled, and the effect of his Raise Spirits Specialization is increased by 100% for every 10% of Caramon's health that was missing (rounding up), stacking multiplicatively and lasting for 30 seconds. This Ultimate ability triggers if Caramon would be knocked out by an incoming attack.
