Notes
ยน Desmond is eligible for Strahd patron only if Nahara uses her "A Barovian Bond" specialization.

Desmond is one of the Champions of Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. He was obtained from the Fleetswake event, but now can only be obtained from Time Gates or from purchasing a Desmond Champion Pack from the in-game shop.

Desmond is a Support and Control Champion whose noble heart and fearsome bite can aid his allies through even the darkest of adventures.

Once unlocked, you can swap this Event Champion with Jarlaxle in slot 4.

Backstory[]

โ€œ While on the hunt for food as a teenager, Desmond was inflicted with the curse of lycanthropy. After a lot of work and time, he's accepted his new lycanthropic nature, and now savors any opportunity to unleash the beast inside if the situation arises. Since his companions travel the dark lands of Ravenloft, there are plenty of occasions to transform! โ€ž

Abilities[]

Crossbow and Swordsโ€“ Base Attack - The Normal Attack changes based on if a foe is on the Champion's side of the screen.

Crossbow โ€” If no enemy is on the Champion's side of the screen, Desmond shoots the closest enemy with his hand crossbow. This knocks the enemy back a short distance.
Twin Attack โ€” If there is an enemy on the Champion's side of the screen, Desmond moves in front of the closest enemy and slashes with both his longsword and his shortsword, dealing 1 hit to all enemies in a small area.

Noble Heart โ€“ Level 50 Ability

Increases the damage of Champions adjacent to Desmond by 100%.

Howl at the Moon โ€“ Level 120 Ability

Desmond has an overlay of the moon that transitions every 2 minutes from new to full and back again, spending 15 seconds at each step. The light side of the moon increases the base attack speed of Desmond and Champions adjacent to him depending on how full the moon is:
New Moon: base attack cooldown is unaffected
Waxing Crescent: base attack cooldown is 0.125s faster
First Quarter: base attack cooldown is 0.25s faster
Waxing Gibbous: base attack cooldown is 0.375s faster
Full Moon: base attack cooldown is 0.5s faster
Waning Gibbous: base attack cooldown is 0.375s faster
Third Quarter: base attack cooldown is 0.25s faster
Waning Crescent: base attack cooldown is 0.125s faster
Moon phase durations are altered by a specialization, and attack cooldown buffed by a specialization, feats, equipment.

Devotion in Dark Times โ€“ Level 160 Ability

The dark side of the moon gives Noble Heart a further boost dependent on how close the new moon is:
New Moon: +100% buff to Noble Heart
Waxing Crescent: +75% buff to Noble Heart
First Quarter: +50% buff to Noble Heart
Waxing Gibbous: +25% buff to Noble Heart
Full Moon: Noble Heart is unaffected
Waning Gibbous: +25% buff to Noble Heart
Third Quarter: +50% buff to Noble Heart
Waning Crescent: +75% buff to Noble Heart

Specialization Choice โ€“ Level 200

Double Time
The moon cycle of Howl at the Moon is twice as fast, recharging Desmond's ultimate attack more often.
Embrace the Beast
Desmond and adjacent Champion's base attack cooldowns are an additional 0.5s faster. In addition, the full moon of Howl at the Moon takes 30 seconds, while the new moon and crescent moons only take 10 seconds.
New Moon: base attack cooldown is 0.5s faster
Waxing Crescent: base attack cooldown is 0.625s faster
First Quarter: base attack cooldown is 0.75s faster
Waxing Gibbous: base attack cooldown is 0.875s faster
Full Moon: base attack cooldown is 1s faster
Waning Gibbous: base attack cooldown is 0.875s faster
Third Quarter: base attack cooldown is 0.75s faster
Waning Crescent: base attack cooldown is 0.625s faster
Strength in Numbers
Devotion in Dark Times gets an +100% additive buff. In addition, the new moon of Howl at the Moon takes 30 seconds, while the full moon and gibbous moons only take 10 seconds.
New Moon: +200% buff to Noble Heart
Waxing Crescent: +175% buff to Noble Heart
First Quarter: +150% buff to Noble Heart
Waxing Gibbous: +125% buff to Noble Heart
Full Moon: +100% buff to Noble Heart
Waning Gibbous: +125% buff to Noble Heart
Third Quarter: +150% buff to Noble Heart
Waning Crescent: +175% buff to Noble Heart

Unleash the Beast โ€“ Level 220 Ultimate Ability

Desmond transforms into his Werewolf form and leaps at the enemy with the most hit points. He swipes with both claws, then bites (3 separate hits), then returns to formation and back to human form. In addition, Noble Heart gets a +300% increase for 30 seconds. Instead of a regular cooldown timer, this attack recharges at the start of the full moon. Things that change the cooldown rate have no effect.

Running with the Pack โ€“ Level 250 Ability

Increase the effect of Noble Heart on Lycanthropes, Druids, and Black Dice Society Champions by +100%.

Lament the Lost โ€“ Level 300 Ability

Desmond increases the damage of all Champions by 100%, stacking multiplicatively, for each slot in the formation that contains a dead Champion or is taken up by an escort character or object. Buffs to this ability apply to the pre-stack multiplier.
