Champion Spotlight: Ellywick

Ellywick Tumblestrum is the greatest bard in the multiverse, and joined Idle Champions back in year 4 with her triumphant song! But every performer needs to adjust their shows to make them better for the next tour. So this year Ellywick is getting an update to her set list during Ahghairon's Day!

I. Ellywick Tumblestrum

Thanks to a lucky draw from the notorious Deck of Many Things, Ellywick Tumblestrum is now the Greatest Bard in the Multiverse! Her magnificent music has dazzled beings across many planes, including royalty from the Feywild. The Summer Queen and the Queen of Air and Darkness were so moved by her performance that they gifted the bard her exquisite instrument, the beautiful lute Morningmist. She tells tales of her amazing adventures at the Witchlight Carnival, aided by her frog companion Groak.

Ellywick is a Support, Gold Find, and Healing Champion who uses the Deck of Many Things to augment her abilities. When you want her bardic skills to inspire your formation, she can be swapped out with Tyril in seat 10.
