Grimm’s immense strength and steadfast loyalty make him the perfect partner for Beadle’s clever schemes. A giant in both stature and courage, Grimm is as at home smashing through foes as he is keeping the Giant’s Bane Tavern running smoothly.
Grimm is a DPS, Tanking, and Breaker Champion who thrives alongside his best friend, Beadle. Grimm's damage and armor-breaking abilities intensify as the battle rages on, with specialization choices that let him taunt enemies, find gold, or slay giants.
This month, we're taking the previously single Champion Beadle & Grimm, and moving them to different seats to create two separate Champions! Both Champions have been reworked, allowing you to now field powered-up versions of both Beadle and his buddy Grimm in your formation at the same time! There are some small housekeeping notes since this is such a unique rebalance:
Existing skins will be separated and credited to both Champions Beadle and Grimm (once you unlock him).
Equipment & Item Levels on the former Beadle and Grimm Champion will transfer to the new Beadle.
Most feats on Beadle & Grimm will transfer to Beadle, with the exception of Tavern Brawler and Grappler, which move to Grimm.

Welcome to the Event Augment & Y2 Event preview for Festival of Fools!
Our next event arrives on April 2, and despite the name, it's no joke - significant changes are coming to Event Boons as part of the 'Boon XP' Event Augment, and we are unveiling how players can engage with Flex Champions as we circle around to our first returning 'Events 2.0' event!.
Events 2.0 Year 2 Update
April's event marks our first returning event since the launch of Events 2.0 in March 2024! Starting with Festival of Fools next week, we have quality-of-life updates coming to Flex Champions aimed at making repeat events more exciting!
Choose Your Path: Resetting or Maintaining Tier Completion
For those of you who were playing last year, you likely have a selection of Champions in each event with some level of progress. Starting with Festival of Fools, if you choose a Flex Champion who already has event tier progress, you will be presented with a choice: You can choose to maintain that progress and pick up where you left off (automatically enabling any Champion Event Buffs you unlocked last year), or you may choose to reset that progress and re-collect Gold Chests and Bonus rewards from Augments as you complete each variant tier again.
Festival of Fools Year 8 Event Augments
Augment 1: Boon XP (New Augment)
Description: The boon system has been reworked in this event! Eligible items purchased with Platinum now grant Boon XP, which unlocks Boon Levels. The Boon Level cap has also been removed.
[table] [tr] [th]Buff[/th] [th]Level 1[/th] [th]Additional Level Effect[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]Global DPS[/td] [td]200%[/td] [td](200% -> 800% -> 2,600% -> 8,000%, etc.)[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Gold Find[/td] [td]100% [/td] [td](100% -> 300% -> 700% -> 1,500%, etc.)[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Health[/td] [td]50%[/td] [td](50% -> 125% -> 237% -> 406%, etc.)[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Click Damage[/td] [td]60s [/td] [td]x2 (60s -> 120s -> 240s -> 480s, etc.)[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Game Speed[/td] [td]1.25 [/td] [td]+0.5x (1.25 -> 1.75 -> 2.25, etc. Caps at 3.25x)[/td] [/tr] [/table] When we rolled out Events 2.0 last year, we introduced Event Boons to thank players who can and choose to spend real money on packs related to the latest Event. Event Boons power up your formation with buffs to DPS, Gold Find, Health, Click Damage, and Game Speed for the duration of the event, and the first Boon also allows you to choose an additional Flex Champion to add to the event's roster!
Normally, you can collect one of four total Event Boons & 25,000 Event Tokens by purchasing an event-eligible pack at 1400 Platinum and above; so packs like Event Offers, new Skin & Feat Packs, new Theme Packs, and Platinum Chest Packs for Event Champions of 14 count or higher.
This month, we've rebuilt the Event Boon system from the ground up based on feedback from players. Instead of collecting an Event Boon per eligible purchase, this month, you can collect a number of Boon XP based on the base Platinum cost of the pack (1 XP per 140 Platinum). The more Boon XP you collect, the more Event Boons you can collect! Not only that, but we've added 6 Platinum Chest Packs to the list of event-eligible packs during this event, AND the Event Tokens per pack also scale up based on the base Platinum cost of the pack!
[table] [tr] [th]Examples of Multiple Event Pack Purchases[/th] [th]Normal Rewards[/th] [th]Rewards This Month[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]Two 840 Platinum Chest Packs[/td] [td]Nothing[/td] [td]- Boon Level 1 + 2 XP towards Boon Level 2 - 25,000 Event Tokens[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]A 7700 Platinum 84 Platinum Chest Pack[/td] [td]- Boon Level 1 - 25,000 Event Tokens[/td] [td]- Boon Level 4 - 110,000 Event Tokens[/td] [/tr] [/table] Our goal with this Augment is to better reward those players who can and choose to spend real money (or hoarded daily platinum!) on the newest releases.
Augment 2: Extra Benefits (New Augment)
Description: When the event ends, you'll earn Scales of Tiamat* based on what you completed within the event. You'll get 250 Scales for every event variant of tier 2 or above that you have completed and 250 Scales for each Boon XP you've obtained.
*Scales of Tiamat are used in the Legendary Forge to craft Legendary Equipment.
Augment 3: Auto-Blacksmith (Returning Augment)
Description: Event Champions whose recruitment adventure or variants you complete gain common rarity equipment in all slots if they don't already have better. Every tier two or higher event variant completed automatically applies 100 Tiny Blacksmithing Contracts to the variant's Champion's equipment for free!
Augment 4: Brothers in Arms (New Augment)
Description: Completing tier 2+ variants for Beadle or Grimm awards double chests.

Today we have introduced a brand new system to Idle Champions: the Apothecary.
The Apothecary allows players to Distill, Enhance, and Brew potions to create the types of potions they want, including a new tier of potions: Legendary Potions!
To learn more, read on...
Welcome to the Apothecary
The new Apothecary system is accessed from the Potion inventory screen and from the Potion Manager. From here you can:
Distill existing potions into Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels. The amount of Potion Reagents gained is based on the rarity of potions.
Enhance existing potions to higher rarities, using Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels.
Brew new potions of your choice, using Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels.
Legendary Potions
Note: Last week we updated the title of the existing Legendary Potions that you can collect when dismantling a legendary piece of equipment to Legendary Equipment Potions. Those potions are different from the Legendary potions we're introducing today.
Legendary Potions are a new type of potion crafted exclusively through the Apothecary using Potion Reagents and Legendary Vessels:
Legendary Potions require 1 Legendary Vessel and 1,440 Potion Reagents to craft from scratch.
Legendary Potions have larger base effects than Epic Potions but also increase the effect of all active potions by 15%, stacking multiplicatively.
The global speed cap remains in place, however, the Legendary Speed Potion has an additional effect: Game Speed Cap +5% per Speed Potion active, stacking additively.
With five Legendary Potions active, all Potions effects are roughly doubled.
Legendary Potions last for 24 hours and persist through adventure resets. Using additional Legendary Potions adds to the duration.

Collect a free Legendary Vessel each week!
We've updated the Daily Rewards to include a Legendary Vessel, available to collect for free each week! - You'll find it under Day 7:
Log in and check it out!
Everyone who logs into Idle Champions after Noon today, and before Noon PT on March 19th will collect a free Legendary Vessel, as well as 1440 Potion Reagents - enough to brew your first Legendary Potion! Learn more by clicking the Apothecary button in the Potion inventory screen or the Potion Manager. There is a handy overview of Distill/Enhance/Brew costs visible in the FAQ section.

Ishi Snaggletooth hails from a warren of Kobolds living in the sewers under Baldur's Gate. Always the type to be more curious than careful, she accidentally stowed away on a ship headed to Port Nyanzaru. There, she met her dear friend, the Firbolg Littlefox. Often shunned by humans, Ishi hopes to prove herself as a true hero however she can. Ishi's biggest claim to fame is the defeat of the known swordsman, Hershel Von Saberburg, and since that day, she's touted herself as a renowned duelist to anyone who'll listen to her.
It's been a long time since Ishi joined Idle Champions, and on February 12th, 2025, she will be the lucky recipient of a new Rework set to make her a powerful component of non-human formations.
Quick Strike (melee) - Ishi attacks the front-most enemy.
Passive Abilities
