AFK Journey Tier List

S-Tier Characters: Top Performers

Lily May, the newest addition, is a must-have Wilder character, excelling in damage and utility. She counters Eironn teams in PvP and significantly boosts Wilder team performance.

Thoran remains the best F2P tank, even with Phraesto's release. Reinier is a top priority support for both PvE and PvP, especially Dream Realm and Arena.

Koko and Smokey & Meerky are essential supports for various game modes. Odie excels in Dream Realm and all PvE modes.

Eironn, with Damien and Arden, forms a dominant Arena team.

Tasi, a powerful Wilder crowd control character, dominates most game modes except potentially Dream Realm (though this may change).

Harak, a difficult-to-obtain Hypogean/Celestial Warrior, increases in power throughout battles, making him formidable.

A-Tier Characters: Strong Contenders

Lyca and Vala utilize the crucial Haste stat effectively. Lyca boosts party Haste, while Vala increases her own with each marked enemy kill. Lyca's PvP performance can be inconsistent.

Antandra is a solid tank alternative to Thoran, offering taunts, shields, and crowd control.

Viperian complements a Graveborn core with energy drain and AoE attacks, excelling in most modes except Dream Realm.

Alsa, a strong DPS mage, is a great alternative to Carolina in PvP, especially with Eironn.

Phraesto, a durable Hypogean/Celestial tank, lacks damage output. Prioritize Reinier first.

Ludovic, the first Graveborn healer, works well with Talene and excels in PvP.

Cecia, while a good Marksman, has been downgraded due to the shift in Dream Realm meta and the arrival of Lily May.

Sonja, a recent addition, significantly improves the Lightborne faction, offering respectable damage and utility across game modes.

B-Tier Characters: Solid but Replaceable

These characters fill roles adequately but are easily replaced by A or S-tier heroes. Valen and Brutus are strong early-game DPS options. Granny Dahnie is a decent early-game tank. Arden and Damien are PvP meta mainstays but less useful in other modes.

Florabelle provides secondary DPS support for Cecia but requires significant investment.

Soren, while decent in PvP, isn't optimal for Dream Realm or other PvE content.

Korin's effectiveness in Dream Realm has diminished.

C-Tier Characters: Early-Game Only

These characters are outclassed quickly. Parisa, while having a powerful AoE attack, should be replaced as soon as possible. Focus on obtaining higher-tier replacements.
