Champion Update: Binwin

Binwin Bronzebottom was a member of a rather infamous adventuring group/company, until he left to spend more time with his family. A grumpy and headstrong dwarf with a penchant for springing traps rather than disarming them, if he's not the first into battle then he's disappointed. There's nary a door, tankard, or acid pit that hasn't felt the wrath of Binwin Bronzebottom at one time or another. These days, when he's not adventuring with the likes of Drizzt and Minsc, Binwin leads a small group of incompetent and eminently replaceable minions through perilous adventures.

It has been a long time since Binwin Bronzebottom received a major update, but we hope you'll find these changes worth the wait!

Binwin has been diligently reworked to fit better into the modern Idle Champions sandbox, and he is now ready to take the lead in a full Dwarf formation... any day now.

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Zariel, Elminster (until January 14th, 2029)

[h2]Abilities[/h2]
[h3]Basic Attack[/h3]

• Twin Axes(melee) -Binwin attacks the front-most enemy with his twin axes, Rook and Ruin.

[h3]Passive Abilities[/h3]

• I've Got the Crits - Binwin's base chance to Critical Hit is 20%.
  

[h3]Formation Abilities[/h3]

• Extra Attacks - Binwin gains a Bonus Hit when an adjacent Champion attacks. The next time he attacks, he consumes his Bonus Hits to deal additional hits to the enemy he attacks. If his target dies and Binwin still has Bonus Hits, he'll jump to a new enemy if possible. Unused Bonus Hits are lost when his attack ends. Caps at 10 stacks.
  
• Extra Damage - Each subsequent hit Binwin does during the same attack deals 100% more damage, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• Lingering Damage - While Binwin is your BUD-setting Champion and he attacks but does not kill an enemy, the enemy takes 100% of the damage it took over the next 5 seconds.
  
• Critical Combo - When Binwin scores a critical hit, he gains an additional Bonus Hit for his current attack. This can occur up to 5 times per attack.
  
• Crash and Smash - Binwin deals double hits against enemies or objects with hits-based or armored hits-based health. If Binwin attacks an armored enemy and doesn't break any armor, he gains a Resolve stack. Binwin deals 100% additional damage for each Resolve stack, stacking multiplicatively up to 10 times, resetting when changing areas.
  

[h3]Specializations[/h3]

• Overkill - When Binwin defeats an enemy, he gains stacks of Overkill based on how many orders of magnitude more damage he did compared to the enemy's remaining health. Binwin's damage is increased by 1% for each Overkill stack, stacking additively. Overkill stacks persist until the adventure resets.
  
• Tallest in Faerûn - Binwin's damage is increased by 200% for each Dwarf, Kobold, Halfling, Gnome, or Goblin in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• Dwarven Encouragement - Binwin encourages the Champions adjacent to him to attack more frequently, reducing their base attack cooldowns by 2 seconds and increasing his own damage by 100%.
  

[h3]Ultimate Ability[/h3]

• Barrel Roll(melee) -Binwin hops onto a sturdy wooden barrel and rides toward a single enemy, dealing damage along the way. When he reaches the targeted enemy, the barrel explodes, dealing ultimate area damage and slowing all affected enemies.
