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!
Active Tasks
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.
UI Changes
Here are all the upcoming changes to the UI you can expect to see!
Champion Search Update
- 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.
Collections Update
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
Gameplay Changes
Area Cap Increase
- 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!
New Feats
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.
Spurt Update
- 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.
Rust Update
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.
Yorven Update
- 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 Update
- Dungeon Master's Specialization Special Guest Star has been updated to target the full seat of Champions now rather than 1 singular Champion!
Fen Update
- 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.
Gem Shop & Store Update
- 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.
