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.

Bio: Jamilah is a Human Barbarian, played by actor (and part time DM) Deborah Ann Woll, and the second brand-new Force Grey character added this season. Shipwrecked as a young child, Jamilah washed up on the shores of Chult. Luckily, the people of this forbidding land took her in and raised her as one of their own. Having grown into a strong and confident young woman, she now longs to leave Chult and explore other lands, challenging anyone along her way to arm wrestling or thigh crushing contests of might.
Basic Attack: Frenzy - Jamilah attacks the closest enemy. If more enemies are nearby, she attacks up to 2 of them and reduces her Base Attack and Ultimate cooldowns by 2 seconds.

Base Attack Type: Melee
-
Self-DPS Buff: 1.33e15%
