Champion Update: Farideh

Abandoned as an infant and adopted by an outcast dragonborn warrior, Farideh grew up to adulthood acutely aware of the drawbacks of being a tiefling. While those from the Nine Hells do their utmost to corrupt her, Farideh isn't interested in power so much as defending the world from demons, the undead, and any other villains trying to bring trouble or drag her friends and family into danger.

Farideh has received a devilish update. Her Hellish Rebuke ability now triggers when any Champion in the formation receives damage, whitoule Chosen of Asmodeus has been reworked entirely. Learn all about the changes below...

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Strahd, Zariel, Elminster (until October 8th, 2028)


[h3]Abilities[/h3]
[h3]Basic Attack[/h3]

• Scorching Ray(magic) -Farideh creates 3 rays of fire and hurls them at random enemies.
  

[h3]Formation Abilities[/h3]

• Hellish Rebuke - Enemies that attack any Champion in the formation trigger Farideh's Hellish Rebuke. The enemy is surrounded by green flames for 5 seconds and immediately takes 0.5 seconds worth of BUD damage.
  
• Chosen of Asmodeus - Whenever Farideh's Hellish Rebuke triggers, Farideh's damage is increased by 100%. This stacks multiplicatively up to 25 times, and the stacks reset when changing areas.
  
• Pact Family - Farideh's damage is increased by 100% for each Tiefling Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• Sister, Sister - Increases the post-stack effect of Pact Family by 500% when Havilar is in the formation. Additionally, whenever Havilar sacrifices her Imps, the stack cap of Chosen of Asmodeus is increased by 2, stacking up to 5 times (10 additional stacks total).
  

[h3]Specializations[/h3]

• Daughters of Mehen - Pact Family now also gains a stack for each Dragonborn Champion in the formation, and its post-stack effect is increased by 400%. Chosen of Asmodeus stacks are halved when changing areas if Mehen is in the formation, rather than resetting to 0.
  
• Fury of Asmodeus - Farideh gains the Debuff role, and whenever Chosen of Asmodeus is at more than 10 stacks, Farideh deals 100% more damage against enemies currently affected by Hellish Rebuke for each stack above 10 she has, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• Pact with Lorcan - Farideh gains the Hunter role, Fiends become her favored foe, and the effect of Hellish Rebuke is increased by 200% on all Fiends. By sheer dumb luck, each wave of enemies in non-boss areas has a 33% chance to spawn 1-2 Fiends, and all bosses now count as demonic Fiends for the purposes of all abilities that care about such things.
  

[h3]Ultimate Attack[/h3]

• Infernal Aspect(magic) -Farideh taps into her infernal bloodline, surrounding herself in a nimbus of flames and sprouting a pair of fiery wings from her back for 15 seconds. This causes all enemies to go berserk, resulting in them moving 50% faster, attacking twice as often, but dealing 90% less damage. During this time, her flaming aura shoots slivers of flame at random enemies once per second, dealing massive damage.
