Gaarawarr is known for their Event guides and new player intro guides to both game systems and Champions. They also stream the game on their Twitch channel[www.twitch.tv], stream a weekly Q&A show called Gaarawarr's Guide to Everything in Idle Champions on the official CNEGames Twitch channel[www.twitch.tv], and create official video guides for the game via the CNEGames Twitch channel that are archived on the CNEGames YouTube channel.

These are basic looks at systems that new players often feel a bit overwhelmed by. By no means are these exhaustive explanatory guides. These are meant to give a rounded, introductory look at these systems that will allow new players to start making more informed decisions about their gameplay.

I've listed these in suggested reading order for a new player.

Next up is a guide to Event Planning. No, we're not throwing parties, we're preparing for the Events that happen every 3 weeks! Giving yourself short, medium, and long-term goals in this game can help break things up into bite-size chunks and keep you motivated. Events happen regularly and provide both new Champions for your roster as well as Favor for the main Campaign of your choice, so being prepared for them can really help propel you forward in the game.

Also, as mentioned in the guide, a lot of the strategy discussed is also viable for improving your runs and progress in the main Campaigns as well. Yay for synergy!

There is an in-game jukebox with music from the show Bardic Inspiration. You can set up your own playlist of full songs or just instrumental tracks to listen to while you play the game. You can even buy two of the albums and listen to them anywhere! This guide has all you need to know and includes a list of all the songs with links to them on Twitch.

There are 17 annual events in Idle Champions, which means one arrives every 3 weeks (more often than not). Each Event introduces a new Champion to the game and brings back two Champions from the most recent years to unlock and gear up as well. Here are the 17 events in order of how those events were introduced to the game including which Champions arrived with them. Each guide contains information specific to that event as well as some general tips.

Any Champion that arrived as part of an Event is considered an Event Champion, even if now they're only available via a Time Gate. Only the most recent three Champions are available when an Event returns to the game: the newest arrival plus the prior two years' Champions.
