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!

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.

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!

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 the following Champions, three of which have been rebalanced:

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.

Discover their creative side with a collection of all-new hobbycraft skins arriving throughout the month in Idle Champions!
