2024 Champion Spotlight: Rosie

Weighing in at just under 30 pounds and with a grandmotherly demeanor befitting her advanced age, Rosie Beestinger is easily mistaken for someone on the wrong side of the 'aggressor/victim' relationship. But this is a mix-up that few people make more than once.

Originally released in March 2019, Rosie Beestinger is a sassy Halfling Shadow Monk created by Kate Welch for Acquisitions Inc: The "C" Team. And now it is time for a Rosie rework!

Rosie has been significantly reworked to better lean into her niches - adventures with ranged enemies, and formations with younger Champions. In addition, she has been given a new niche as the first Champion who can affect the BUD decay rate. For more information about Rosie's updated design, read on...

Rosie Beestinger

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Elminster (until September 11th, 2027)

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Shadow Step - Rosie Shadow Steps behind one of the three closest enemies at random and hits them with a flurry of blows.

Formation Abilities

• Sassy - Rosie deals +400% increased damage for every Champion in the formation younger than she is, stacking multiplicatively.
• Deflect Missiles - Rosie gains a deflect stack every time she attacks. She can store up to 100 deflect stacks at once. Whenever an enemy attacks the formation with a ranged/magic attack, Rosie consumes a deflect stack and reflects it back at the attacker. The reflected attack deals Rosie's damage with a 100% additively increased chance of dealing a critical hit. This effect can trigger as often as necessary, as long as Rosie has deflect stacks available.
• Timeless Body - Rosie gains a Timeless Body stack every time she successfully deflects a ranged/magic attack with Deflect Missiles. For each Timeless Body stack she has, Rosie increases the effect of Sassy by 1%, stacking additively. Stacks persist between adventures.
• Slow Decay - Whenever Rosie is your BUD-setting Champion, the rate of BUD decay is decreased by 50%.
• Shadow Arts - Rosie's critical hit damage is increased by 100% for every 100 levels she has been leveled up, stacking multiplicatively. Additionally, for every 4th attack, Rosie makes a Shadow Arts attack that deals 10 seconds worth of BUD damage to all enemies in a small area.

Specializations A

• Matriarch - Increases the effect of Sassy by 100% for every Female or Nonbinary Champion in the formation who is younger than Rosie, stacking multiplicatively.
• Familiar Friends - Increases the effect of Sassy by 100% for every Champion in the formation that belongs to the "C"-team, Acquisitions Incorporated, or Wafflecrew affiliations, stacking multiplicatively.
• Grandmother Night - Increases the effect of Sassy by 100% for every Champion in the formation that is a Halfling, Rogue, or Monk, stacking multiplicatively.

Specializations B

• Grandma-Bod - The damage bonus provided by Timeless Body stacks is increased by 200%, and whenever she deflects a ranged/magic attack with Deflect Missiles she gains 4 stacks of Timeless Body instead of 1.
• Busy Beestinger - Rosie's attack speed cooldown is lowered by 0.5 seconds (stacking additively) and her damage is increased by 400% (stacking multiplicatively) for each member of the "C"-Team in the formation, including herself.
• Slower Decay - Increases Rosie's critical hit damage by 600% and the effect of Slow Decay is set to 75%.

Ultimate Ability

• Grammamancy - Rosie roots all enemies in place for 5 seconds and becomes a blur of movement, pummeling up to 10 enemies on screen for ultimate damage, and refilling her deflect stacks to max.
