Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms Gaawarr's Guides to Idle Champions

Hello!

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.

Introductory Guides

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.

- Formation Strategy 101

- Tanking 101

- BUD (Base Ultimate Damage) 101

- Items 101

- Consumables 101

- Blessings 101

- Feats 101

- Time Gates 101

- Progression 101

- Trials of Mt. Tiamat 101

- Legendary Forge 101

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!

Time Gate Champion Guides

Year 1 Champions, and some Year 2 Champions, are no longer available during their Event, but you can still do their Time Gate to unlock and gear them up, as well as do their Champ-specific Achievements. The Achievement that arrived with them that is based on reaching a specific level can be done on any of their related Event Free Plays, but not in a Time Gate.

They are listed here with the Event they launched with.
