Core Champion Guide: Asharra, the Aarakocra Wizard
Last Updated: Initial Post
When you start playing Idle Champions, you are automatically provided with a dozen Champions. These Core Champions are from a variety of Forgotten Realms stories, whether in books, games, or on streams.
This series of guides is aimed at helping brand new players understand how each of these Core Champions works and what they can expect from them in terms of upgrades as they progress in the game.
You can find all 100+ of my Idle Champions guides here.
#Core 12 Champion - Asharra, the Aarakocra Wizard
-
Source: Tomb of Annihilation campaign book
-
Slot 6
-
Good with: Any of the Races she bonds with (see below)
-
Affiliation: None
-
Eligible for Patrons: Strahd, Zariel
| Race | Class | Alignment | Gender | Age | Role(s) | Overwhelm Point |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aarakocra | Wizard | Lawful Neutral | Female (She / Her) | 38 | DPS / Support | 5 |
| Strength | Dexterity | Constitution | Intelligence | Wisdom | Charisma |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 11 | 9 | 17 | 15 | 14 |
Bio: The elder of Kir Sabal, Asharra is a stern and honorable aarakocra wizard who looks over her flock and the safety of the Omu royal family.
Basic Attack: Magic Missile - Asharra lets loose a barrage of missiles, hitting random targets.
-
Base Attack Type: Magic
-
Self-DPS Buff: 8.12e16%
-
Base Attack Speed: 7 seconds
Ultimate: Fireball - Asharra leaps into the air, flapping her wings and pushing all enemies away from the party. Hovering there, she summons a massive fireball that hits a random enemy and all other enemies within a small radius.
- Base Ultimate Cooldown Time: 420 seconds
Gaar's Note: One of the few push-back Ultimates in the game. It comes in handy as a defensive measure. The major downside is the 420 second base cooldown. Asharra's Ultimate brings new meaning to the phrase "420 blaze it."
##Interesting Abilities
Paragon of Kir Sabal: Increases the potency of each of Asharra's Bond abilities (separately) by 100% for every matching Bonded race in the party. Additionally, Asharra gains the effect of a given Bond if at least 4 Champions are affected by it
- No upgrades; Supported by an Item
Gaar's Note: This ability is what really unlocks Asharra's power as it grants her multiple Bond bonuses as long as you meet the requirements.
Take Flight: Whenever the party is under attack, Asharra takes flight and increases her damage by 10% every 5 seconds, stacking multiplicatively up to 20 times
- No upgrades; Supported by an Item
Global DPS Buff: None
##Specializations
Bond 1: Increases the damage of the Champions of your choice: Humans, Elves & Dwarves, or Potpourri (Aarakocra, Dragonborn, Firbolg, Lizardfolk, Minotaur, Tiefling, and Tortle)
- 1.00e09% after upgrades; Supported by an Item & a Feat
Bond 2: Increases the damage of the Champions of your choice: Half n' Half (Half-Orc, Half-Elf, and Halflings), Exotic Races (Aasimar, Bullywug, Doppelganger, Genasi, Gith, Harengon, Modron, Saurial, Tabaxi, Warforged, and Yuan-Ti), or Short-folk (Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Kobold, and NERDS)
- 1.00e09% after upgrades; Supported by an Item & a Feat
Gaar's Note: When choosing your Bond, make sure you're picking whoever your Primary DPS is, which would be Potpourri for Asharra DPS as that allows that Bond to apply twice.
