Unlock Adventure: The Simril Spoilsport (Lark) (Complete Area 50)
Simril is ruined! Someone has pilfered the food supplies!
Variant 1: No Autographs (Complete Area 75)
Lark starts in the formation with his Devil May Care ability unlocked. He can be moved, but not removed.
Only Lark and Champions buffed by both him and Uggie can deal damage.
1-2 Unruly fans spawn with each wave. They don’t drop gold nor count towards quest progress.
Getting to Know Lark and Uggie: Lark increases the damage of Champions in the middle columns, while Uggie increases the damage of Champions not next to her. Position your damage dealers to take advantage of both buffs!
Variant 2: Fortune’s Fool (Complete Area 125)
Lark starts in the formation. He can be moved, but not removed.
Starting in area 51, enemies that don’t have an active debuff reduce all normal attack damage to just 1 point of damage.
Getting to Know Lark: When Lark attacks an enemy and does not defeat it, he applies a debuff making it more susceptible to damage in the future. Use him and other debuff Champions to get through these resistant foes!
Variant 3: All Together Now (Complete Area 175)
Lark starts in the formation. He can be moved, but not removed.
You may only use Champions who are Fallbacks, Tieflings, Evil, multi-classed, or have a Charisma of 13 or lower.
Two backup musicians join the formation. They just get in the way.
Getting to Know Lark: Lark’s specialization choice determines which sort of Champions he works best with. Build a formation that makes the most of his buffs!
