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.

Brother Uriah is receiving a major update arriving at the start of the second week of Dragondown, on June 10th. Let's take a look at the new-and-improved Brother Uriah!

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!

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!

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!

Trixie

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Pixie Charge (melee) - A pixie subordinate dives in and stabs a random enemy for one hit.

Formation Abilities

• Dancing Lights - Trixie increases the damage of adjacent Champions by 100%.
• Small Pranks - Trixie increases the effect of Dancing Lights by 100% for each Small Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively. Small Champions are fairy, gnome, goblin, halfling, kender, kobold, and plasmoid Champions.
• Tricksy Pixie - Every time a Champion other than Trixie attacks, Trixie gains a Trick stack. When Trixie attacks, she expends all her Trick stacks to slow up to that number of random enemies by 50% for 10 seconds. If she has more Trick stacks than there are enemies, then she can use the extra stacks to stun that number of random enemies for 3 seconds. Additionally, one extra Pixie Subordinate attacks for every 5 Trick stacks expended. Trixie can not have more than 50 Trick stacks at once.
• Debilitating Dust - If Trixie still has Trick stacks left after stunning all enemies on the screen, she uses the extra stacks to increase the damage a random enemy takes by 100% for 5 seconds. These debuffs can apply to the same enemy multiple times and stack multiplicatively.
• Ultimate Undoing - Every time a Champion other than Trixie uses their ultimate ability, Trixie gains a Scheming stack, up to a maximum of 20 stacks. When Trixie uses her ultimate ability, she expends her Scheming stacks to increase the effect of Dancing Lights by 100% per stack, stacking multiplicatively. 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. Additionally, all Champions that share a species with any Champion affected by Shrinking Dust are also sprinkled with Shrinking Dust.

Specializations

• Faster, Friends - The damage of all Champions is increased by 100%. When a Familiar clicks on an enemy, it also reduces the Base Attack Cooldown of a random Champion other than Trixie by 0.2 seconds.
• Ultimate Friends - The ultimate damage of all Champions is increased by 400%. When a Familiar clicks on a boss enemy, it also reduces the current Ultimate Attack Cooldown of a random Champion other than Trixie whose ultimate is on cooldown by .2 seconds.

Ultimate Ability

• Call For Dev (melee) - Trixie flies off to get Dev the Devourer to consume the healthiest non-boss enemy, or otherwise deal an ultimate hit to a boss.

Born into the royal family of Celene, he assumed the simple name of Melf eschewing a life of comfort as a noble to study the arcane arts and train as a swordsman. He delved in the dungeons of Castle Greyhawk, the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and many other harrowing places honing his skills, knowledge and amassing powerful magical items. Melf sees himself as a weapon of weal hurtling toward the heart of the darkest evils in the realm. He is opinionated and has a touch of conceit that he is blissfully ignorant of possessing..

Melf is receiving a major update arriving at the start of the second week of the Great Modron March. Lets take a look at the new-and-improved Melf!

In the event of a formation with multiple columns of the same size, Melf can be in any of them.
• Melf's Righteous Determination - Melf knows exactly what evil is. Whenever an enemy spawns, or is attacked by Melf, it has a 50% chance of being deemed "evil". Enemies that are deemed evil take 1000% more damage from all attacks that deal BUD-based damage (such as Ultimate Attacks).

Specializations A

• Melf's Frequent Foes - Melf magically causes an additional enemy to spawn with each wave 25% of the time. If there are any Champions in the formation with a Favored Foe, the enemy spawned will be a random Champion's Favored Foe.

• Melf's Doubled Drops - Melf magically increases the chance that an enemy will drop double quest items or count for two kills by 25%.

Specializations B

Melf's Custom Support Spell is increased by 400% for each Champion in the formation with that type, stacking multiplicatively, and Melf changes his attack to match. If tied, all tied attack types count.
• Melf's Ranked Roles - Melf counts the most represented non-Support Role among the other Champions in the formation.
