Gromma Nander is one of the Champions of Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. She was obtained from the Feast of the Moon event and again during the 7th year of The Great Modron March event, or through Time Gates or purchased through the in-game shop.
Gromma is a versatile Tank and Support Champion. Her Druid Circle specializations offer different tanking options depending on the situation, while her Grandmotherly Love formation ability buffs your party, with the youngest Champions receiving the greatest benefit.
Once unlocked, you can swap this Event Champion with Nayeli in slot 3.
Backstory[ | ]
| “ | Extremely elderly for a Tortle, Gromma Nander grew discontent with her secluded life after giving birth to her offspring. Once they were old enough to fend for themselves, she ventured back out into the world to learn as much as she could about the strange creatures that inhabit it. Gromma is a wise and inquisitive Tortle who is quick to friendship but slow to trust. She carries a pouch of smooth colored stones that she has collected on her journey and walks with the aid of a battle-worn spear. | „ |
Abilities[ | ]
Gromma's normal attack can change based on her specialization. She starts with Slow and Steady and changes to Melf's Acid Arrow if the Melf's Acid Arrow specialization is chosen.
Slow and Steady – Base Attack
- Gromma Nander, moving faster than you would expect for an 80 year old Tortle, stabs the closest enemy with her spear.
Melf's Acid Arrow - Base Attack
- Gromma shoots a bolt of acid at the nearest target.
Hardened Shell – Level 25 Ability
- Gromma has a hardened shell, reducing effects of the Overwhelm debuff by 25%.
Grandmotherly Love – Level 90 Ability

Specialization Choice – Level 130

Entanglement - The effect of Gromma's chosen Circle specialization is increased by 100%, and enemies damaged by Gromma have their movement speed and attack speed halved.
Melf's Acid Arrow - Replaces Gromma's base attack with Melf's Acid Arrow, changing her into a magic attacker. After hitting its target (dealing damage) the arrow explodes, damaging it's target (again) and all nearby enemies for an additional 5 seconds of BUD damage.
