Welcome to the Event Augment preview for Dragondown Year 8!

Our next event arrives on Wednesday, June 4, bringing two Featured Champions (one New Champion, one Champion Rebalance).


We have some exciting updates to the Event system this month! Based on your feedback, we're making several Augments permanent features so we can free up space to add even more fun tweaks in future Events. Let's dive in!

• Boon XP and Extra Benefits (Scales of Tiamat) are now permanent features. You can find details about them here[www.codenameentertainment.com].
  
• Worth the Wait is being retired as an Augment. Its core feature - rolling out the second featured Champion on Day 8 - will remain, but the tweak of tier 2+ variants providing an additional chest is going away.

The in-game FAQ has been updated to reflect these system changes, and we're excited about the additional Augment space they open up. Now let's get into the June 2025 Augments!

• Augment 1: Free Rerolls (Returning Augment)
  
  Description: You gain five free rerolls to use on each set of your Weekly Offers during this event!

• Augment 2: Golden Weekly Offers (Returning Augment)
  
  Description: One of your weekly offers will be Golden during this event. Golden offers provide an additional 10% discount! The Golden tag persists when an offer is rerolled.

• Augment 3: Auto Blacksmith (Returning Augment)
  
  Description: Event Champions whose recruitment adventure or variants you complete gain common rarity equipment in all slots if they don't already have better. Every tier two or higher event variant completed automatically applies 100 Tiny Blacksmithing Contracts to the variant's Champion's equipment for free!

• Augment 4: Boon Enhancements (New Augment)
  
  Description: An additional boon buff at each level increases global damage based on the number of Pigments on Champions in the formation, stacking additively.

Note: Similar to our rollout in May[codenameentertainment.com] the spotlight blogs for the two Featured Champions will also be spread out, with Hank's tomorrow, May 30th, and Krond's releasing next Friday, June 6th.

At the behest of the Wizards Three, the Champions have ventured across the multiverse in search of pieces of the Rod of Seven Parts.

Now, it's time to assemble the rod. And time for a traitor to strike.

Part 8 of the Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign takes the party to Pandesmos, the topmost layer of Pandemonium, where they will face the greatest threat the multiverse has ever faced - and an ancient enemy, sealed away by the Rod a long, long time ago.

Note: You will need to have completed the previous two Vecna: Eve of Ruin adventures, Hellbound and The Red Belvedere, in order to access these new adventures.


Assemble the completed rod and discover what happens next.

• Complete area 1100

Assemble the completed rod while under the threat of a giant roulette ball.

• The formation slots are colored Red, Black and two glowing Green slots.
  
• A giant roulette ball joins the formation as an escort.
  
• Starting upon entering area 101, and every 100 areas thereafter, the giant roulette ball jumps up and spins around in a circle above the formation before landing on a random formation slot, removing that Champion and all other Champions that are in a formation slot of the same color. Removed Champions can't be used for the rest of the adventure, and the ball stays in that slot until it moves again.
  
• Champions can't otherwise be removed from the formation once they've been added.
  
• Complete Area 1150

Assemble the completed rod and gain a beneficial Windfall.

• The formation slots are colored Red, Black and two glowing Green slots.
  
• A giant roulette ball joins the formation as an escort.
  
• Starting upon entering area 76, and every 75 areas thereafter, the giant roulette ball jumps up and spins around in a circle above the formation before landing on a random formation slot, removing that Champion and all other Champions that are in a formation slot of the same color. Removed Champions can't be used for the rest of the adventure, and the ball stays in that slot until it moves again.
  
• Champions can't otherwise be removed from the formation once they've been added.
  
• Click damage only deals damage (including Fire Breath effects) for the first 25 areas
  
• Fire breath potions can't be used during the adventure.
  
• Complete Area 1200
  
• Unlocks Windfall (Evergreen Champion)

Trek across Pandemonium in search of Vecna.

• Complete area 1150

Trek across Panda-monium in search of Vecna.

• Every wave spawns 1-2 Illusory Fancy Red Pandas. They don't drop gold, nor count towards quest progress.
  
• Every time a Red Panda is defeated, enemy damage and movement speed is increased by 50%, stacking multiplicatively and resetting when changing areas. You may only use Evil Champions, as only Evil Champions have the heart to attack these adorable Red Pandas. You should be ashamed of yourself for encouraging this behavior.
  
• Complete Area 1200

A dedicated champion of Tiamat, Windfall has been granted phenomenal power by her master. She is the proprietor of the Red Belvedere, a monument to Tiamat and a remnant of Avernus's original existence as a bucolic paradise designed to tempt mortals. Its edifice was destroyed in the carnage of the Blood War, but Windfall rebuilt the casino and rededicated it to the Dragon Queen as a celebration of her god's greed and vanity. Windfall is ostentatious and charismatic, making small talk with regular patrons and jovially welcoming new faces to the casino. She once plotted to assemble the Rod of Seven Parts to create a gift for her cruel goddess, but has instead joined the Champions at Tiamat's behest.
