Find out which characters are the best in AFK Journey!
PostsThere are several different game modes in AFK Journey that each require careful planning and consideration when it comes to constructing your party composition. As you recruit more characters, your options will open up even more. Below, we'll take a look at some of the best team compositions for both PvE and PvP game modes.
General Tips For Team Building
In general, your team composition will change quite a bit depending on the enemies you're facing. As the name suggests, AFK Journey's combat is mostly AFK; you can time and position ultimate attacks, but some game modes don't even let you do that.
This means fights are often decided entirely by your party composition, Resonance Level, and equipment, all of which are set before the fight even begins.
More often than not, you'll want to choose your party members based on what enemies you're facing. This can make giving recommendations difficult, but there are some general rules to follow that will apply universally.
First, you should always consider and prioritize when possible Faction bonuses. Essentially, your entire party will get bonuses to their health and damage depending on how many party members are from the same Faction. If all five members of your team are Graveborn, for example, then your team will have 22 percent more health and attack.
Additionally, you should keep in mind Faction Strategies. Each Faction is strong or weak against one other Faction. For example, Lightbearers are strong against Maulers but weak to Graveborn.
When a Faction is strong against another, it will deal 15 percent more damage. When a Faction is weak to another, it will take 15 percent more damage from them.
Celestial and Hypogean characters are considered as any Faction, and for each Celestial or Hypogean included in your team, all characters will get one percent extra attack and health.
Finally, when building your team, it's generally a good idea to include characters from a diverse set of roles. This means including a Tank, Healer, DPS, Buffer, and Debuffer.
Lots of strong characters can play multiple roles. For example, Kruger is a powerful Tank and Debuffer, while Smokey & Meerky can both heal and buff. These characters will afford you more flexible spots to include anything else you may need for a particular battle.
Best Characters And Team Compositions
As mentioned above, building a team in AFK Journey really depends on the situation. Some teams will need more sustain and defensive buffs, while others will want to burst the enemy down as quickly as possible.
Of course, there are some characters that are better at doing these things than others. In general, teams that work well in PvP will also work for story mode, AFK stages, and other PvE activities. You'll almost always want to use a Tank, Healer, and at least two strong DPS characters.
Here are some of the best characters to use for each role.
- Tank: Thoran, Antandra, Brutus, Granny Dahnie
- Healer/Support: Smokey & Meerky, Reinier, Koko, Rowan
- DPS: Cecia, Odie, Bryon, Marilee, Viperian, Rhys, Florabelle, Igor, Vala
- Buffer: Shakir, Lyca, Eironn, Parisa, Kruger
- Debuffer: Kruger, Carolina, Reinier
And here are a few example teams using these characters
- All-around team: Thoran, Smokey & Meerky, Cecia, Antandra, Rowan
- F2P-Friendly Mauler team: Antandra, Smokey & Meerky, Odie, Seth, Shakir
- Magic-based team: Brutus, Smokey & Meerky, Bryon, Eironn, Viperian
