Spoilers for Idle Champions
Portrait
Avren is an embodiment of mischief; a trickster god in humanoid form. Long ago, he tricked an ancient being into giving him magic and immortality. This power also came with a curse: whenever Avren dies, he will return to life with a new body and varying abilities. While Avren’s body may change, however, his soul and his undying love for his wife, Sofieus, always remains. The two have remained married for centuries, seeking each other out to reunite in each lifetime.
Avren will be a reworked champion in the Liars’ Night event on 7 October 2026.
Only abilities that have seen some changes will be displayed here - and be aware that there’s a lot of guesswork involved. Some abilities may not have names - some may have the wrong names - or specialisations might not be marked as such - etc.. Focus on the effect data itself.
Please do me a favour and don’t get all melodramatic about what you find here. I - and CNE - don’t appreciate it. These are spoilers and will almost certainly change before release - likely multiple times. That and we don’t have access to any upgrade data prior to release. Making assumptions on how the champions will turn out based on this information would be premature.
Mirror Image (Guess)
Avren casts Mirror Image every 15 seconds. The image lasts for 60 seconds and buffs its target depending on their tags. Avren casts Mirror Image every 15 seconds. The image lasts for 60 seconds and buffs its target depending on their tags.
