Portrait
Pwent
Despite a reputation as a loud, gruff, and stinky dwarf who hates bathing, Thibbledorf Pwent is a loyal and beloved member of Clan Battlehammer. Known as ‘Pwent’ to his friends, he leads the Gutbusters of Mithral Hall, a dwarven battlerager squad focused on direct combat with little regard for their own safety. He wears armor completely covered in spikes to help rend the flesh of his enemies, and in the midst of battle Pwent often falls into a bloodrage, doing anything to protect his allies. While not an official member of the Companions of the Hall, Pwent will always aid his King when possible – even beyond death…
Changes
Pwent will be a reworked champion in the Highharvestide event on 2 September 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.
Abilities
Bleed (Guess)
When Pwent attacks he causes all enemies he damages to Bleed, taking 0.5 seconds worth of BUD damage every second for the next 20 seconds. While an enemy is bleeding, attacks that target them have a 0.5% higher chance to critical hit (additively). If Pwent attacks an enemy that is already bleeding the duration is reset. When Pwent attacks he causes all enemies he damages to Bleed, taking 0.5 seconds worth of BUD damage every second for the next 20 seconds. While an enemy is bleeding, attacks that target them have a 20% higher chance to critical hit (additively). If Pwent attacks an enemy that is already bleeding the duration is reset.

Adventures and Variants
Unlock Adventure: The Bandit’s Harvest (Pwent) (Complete Area 50)
Bandits are attempting to pilfer the harvest during Highharvestide and must be stopped.
Variant 1: Underdark Reinforcements (Complete Area 75)
Extra strong Drow Cultists spawn in each area. The additional Drow cannot be damaged until they have been bled by Pwent. Pwent starts in the formation but can be moved or swapped out normally if you wish.
Variant 2: The Plague Cometh (Complete Area 125)
Cursed cows spawn in each area. If they hit a Champion, the Champion contracts a Curse. Cursed Champions deal no damage and have their max health reduced by 50%. Every 5 seconds the Curse spreads to adjacent Champions. It is only removed by changing areas.
Variant 3: Somebody’s Poisoned The Well! (Complete Area 175)
Pwent starts out in the formation and can not be moved, removed, or swapped out. Champions take damage equal to 20% of their maximum health every time they attack due to the poison. Pwent is immune to this poison.
