Champion Update: Donaar

"This copper, draconic gentleman claims to know more than one hundred different dragons. Chromatic, metallic -- just tons and tons of dragons -- I'm hoping we can leverage some of these connections in our dealings. None of the dragons I've contacted have gotten back to me, but they're probably just very busy right now. This is one of of the busiest times for dragons... or so I've been told by my new best friend, Donaar Blit'zen."

A somewhat goofy and braggadocious dragonborn, Donaar Blit'zen was the second Champion to come out back in Year 2 of Idle Champions. He is long past due for a major rework, and today we'll talk about how we've modernized his design!

Read on to learn all about Donaar's rework!

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Zariel, Elminster (until February 11th, 2029)



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

• Command(magic) -Donaar casts a random command. His commands target one enemy and deal a small amount of psychic damage in addition to their effect (see the passive Command ability for details).

[h3]Passive Abilities[/h3]

• Command Word - Donaar attacks with the Command spell. The Command he chooses with each attack is randomly picked from the following options:
  - Hold: the target is stunned for 3 seconds
  - Duel: the target berserks, moving 50% faster and attacking twice as often, but dealing 90% less damage
  - Cower: the target now has a 50% chance to miss on any attack it makes and takes 200% extra damage
  - Droppit: the target drops 200% more gold when it dies
  All Commands last until the target dies, unless otherwise noted.
  

[h3]Formation Abilities[/h3]

• Aura of Vitality - Every second, Donaar heals the champion who has lost the most health for 5 health over 10 seconds (1 immediate tick + 10 more ticks each second thereafter). If he targets a champion who already has this effect, it refreshes the duration to 10 seconds, but doesn't immediately tick again.
  
• Lead By Example - Donaar increases the damage of Champions in the same column and the column(s) behind him by 100%.
  
• Decisionist's Extra Vote - When Donaar is in the formation, most abilities that involve stacks are granted 1 extra stack.
  
• Commanding Presence - Enemies affected by one of Donaar's Command Word spells take an additional 100% damage while they are affected by it.

• Business Partners - Increases the effect of Lead By Example by 150% for each C-Team or Acquisitions Incorporated affiliated Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
  

[h3]Specializations B[/h3]

• Command: Hold - Donaar casts Command: Hold twice as often with his base attack, and increases the duration of the stun by 2 seconds.
  
• Command: Duel - Donaar casts Command: Duel twice as often with his base attack, and the speed of enemies Donaar berserks is increased by 100%.
  
• Command: Cower - Donaar casts Command: Cower twice as often with his base attack, and the bonus damage taken by cowering targets is increased by 100%.
  
• Command: Droppit - Donaar casts Command: Droppit twice as often with his base attack, and the extra gold dropped is increased by 100%.
  

[h3]Ultimate Ability[/h3]
