Portrait
Dob
Dob is an enthusiastic, energetic music-maker who never lets a little thing like ‘not having a plan’ stand in the way of action. His sister, Suzette, raised him. When he fell ill, she attempted various, wild cures leaving Dob with a permanent, lurid green hue to his skin. Dob became a traveling bard, self-taught in music and magic. This brought him into contact with the Oxventurers, with whom he shares many bizarre adventures. Accomplished and charismatic, this bard favours lulling enemies to sleep or hard-rocking spell attacks with acrobatic combat. Dob also carries Ethelfrith’s Hammer, a cursed weapon with the power to summon 60 obedient skeletons, but exacts a heavy price for doing so.
Changes
Dob 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.

Offshore Accounting (Guess)
At the transition to each new area, there is a 50% chance that Dob sets the Champion’s gold amount to zero and gains Deposit stacks equal to the exponent of the lost gold. Dob increases both the damage increase of Traveling Entertainer and the gold find bonus of Busking by 0.1% for each Deposit stack, stacking multiplicatively.
