Gazrick
Gazrick Nomrad is just your standard gnome druid/businessman/detective/chef/socialist construct. Harnessing the magic of all things cold, he brings a wealth of frost-based spells to the table, as well as insisting his actions are not weird. They are.
Changes
Gazrick will be a reworked champion in the Wintershield event on 6 January 2027.
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.
Abilities
Frosty Friendship (Guess)
Gazrick increases the damage of all Champions in a snowflake shape (his column and in the 2 diagonal lines intersecting his formation slot) by 100%. This effect is increased by 100% for each Champion affected by this ability, stacking multiplicatively, and for each Champion affected by this ability the effect on them is increased by 400% for each slot away from Gazrick they are, stacking multiplicatively.
ⓘ Note: This ability is prestack.
