Season	7: The Rivals

Shaka (real name: Sharafka) is one of the Champions of Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. He was obtained from the The Running event, but is now only available through Time Gates or from purchasing a Shaka Champion Pack from the in-game shop.

Shaka is here to help, using his keen intellect to solve the Celestial Puzzle and bolstering his allies with Celestial Resistance.

Once unlocked, you can swap this Event Champion with Makos in slot 9.

Backstory[ | ]

“

As a member of Rivals of Waterdeep, Shaka is always looking for the latest adventure and the latest puzzle. His party has encountered mysteries and foes throughout Waterdeep, Candlekeep, Icewind Dale, and Avernus. Their base of operations is located in the Trollskull Manor in Waterdeep where a brain in a jar named Brian stands watch.

Abilities[ | ]

Eldritch Blast – Base Attack

A beam of crackling green shoots towards an enemy, dealing damage.

A Celestial Puzzle - Level 50 Ability

Shaka attempts to solve a celestial puzzle with the potential for great rewards. Four random slots in the formation are assigned a random tag. For each Champion in those slots that match the slot's tag, Shaka buffs the party by 150%, stacking multiplicatively. The total effect is buffed by 20% for each other Rivals of Waterdeep Champion in the formation.

Tags pull from a fixed set of odds, with two being "easy", one "medium", and one "hard":

Easy: male, female (non-binary Champions count in either)

Medium: dps, gold, healing, speed, support

Hard: dragonborn, dwarf, elf, gnome, half-elf, halfling, human, kobold, tiefling

Celestial Resistance - Level 100 Ability

Shaka adds 10 temporary hit-points to the entire party when changing areas. This is increased by 25% for each A Celestial Puzzle slot that is filled properly, stacking additively (ie. +100% with 4 slots filled properly).
This ability can be buffed by upgrades, equipment, and feats.

Feats or Famine - Level 150 Ability

Shaka increases the effect of A Celestial Puzzle by 20% for each puzzle slot he's adjacent to, stacking multiplicatively. This ability can be buffed by equipment and feats. Buffs apply to the post-stack value.

Specialization Choice - Level 250

Sunday Edition

A fifth slot in the formation is assigned a random tag and can be matched to further increase A Celestial Puzzle.

Better Luck Next Time

The slots chosen for A Celestial Puzzle are rerolled.

Note that the rerolled slots and tags are consistent for the adventure, so you can't use Potions of Specialization to repeatedly reroll for different slots (if you do respec and pick the other spec will swap back to the original slots/tags).

Specialization Choice - Level 400

Another set of specializations determine how Shaka’s Ultimate works:

Blinding Wall of Light

All enemies are pushed back slightly and then a wall of light appears slightly in front of the formation for 15 seconds. Enemies that pass through the wall of light take damage and gain a brilliant white glow under their feet for 30 seconds. Enemies with this glow have a 75% chance to miss with all attacks.

Disintergrating Wall of Light

A wall of light appears near the right side of the screen. Enemies that pass through the wall of light take damage and, if they take at least 1% of their max health, have a 50% chance to be disintegrated and die immediately. Enemies not immediately destroyed gain a white glow under their feet and take 100% more damage for 30 seconds.
