Portrait
Walnut
Walnut is a child of the Enclave Panax Anima, an all-female clan of woodland defenders within the Kryptgarden Forest. Not only a frighteningly enthusiastic member of Acquisitions Incorporated, she also strives to protect the natural world by any means necessary. Did we mention she also has the goddess Mielikki living inside her? That seems important.
Changes
Walnut is potentially a reworked champion in the Founders’ Day event and delayed until 8 July 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.

Adventures and Variants
Unlock Adventure: Party Crashers (Walnut) (Complete Area 50)
Save Waterdeep from the chaos of a Founders’ Day gone awry.
Variant 1: Rain of Fire (Complete Area 75)
A rain of fire falls from the sky, dealing damage to a random Champion. The frequency of the fireballs increase as your area gets higher.
Variant 2: Close Quarters Combat (Complete Area 125)
Only Champions that attack with a melee base attack by default can be used.
Variant 3: Aww, Hells Nuts (Complete Area 175)
Walnut starts out in the formation and can not be moved, removed, or swapped out. All enemies gain additional health and damage in each area. Demonic squirrel enemies spawn at random. When killed, they drop a Hell-Nut which increases the effect of Documancer by 1%, stacking additively.
