AFK Journey tier list (for beta version of the game)

The characters above are the best of the best currently. They can tackle everything the game will throw at you and more. On top of that, it’s not that hard to get their shards and upgrade them.

All in all, if you have these three, you are more than good to go. But let’s talk a bit about each character individually to see why they are so powerful.

• Oddie: Poison Dart allows Oddie to stack up damage over time. More stacks mean more damage. This ability makes him an amazing character when it comes to bossing among others.
• Cecia: A Graveborn Marskman who can deal a lot of damage. Her Ultimate move “Queen’s Summons” gives Cecia the ability to summon Mr Carlyle who inherits all of Cecia’s stats.
• Hewynn: Hewynn is simply the best healer in the game. That’s a good enough reason to put her in SS-Tier as you almost always need to have a healer in your comp.

Character	Class	Faction
Bryon	Marksman	Wilder
Lyca	Marksman	Graveborn
Antadra	Tank	Mauler
Brutus	Warrior	Mauler
Granny Dhanie	Tank	Wilder
Thoran	Tank	Graveborn
Igor	Warrior	Graveborn
Carolina	Mage	Graveborn
Rowan	Support	Lightbearer

In the whole AFK Journey tier list, these characters are the most sought-after. Why? Because they can help you push levels and compete in the arena, and they are not that hard to upgrade. In many cases, you can even find their shards in the store.

If your team consists of S-Tier characters, you’ll coast through the early to mid-game with ease.

• Thoran: Arguably the best tank in the game, Thoran is a character who can revive himself on death. This ability alone is enough to buy time for the backline to deal damage. Also, he can reflect a portion of the received damage back to the attackers.
• Carolina: A Graveborn Mage, Carolina is a DPS character who deals a lot of damage to targets under control effects. In the right team, she can be an amazing option for you. On the flip side, you need to be somewhat lucky to get her shards from the banner as they are not available in the store.
• Antadra: If you are looking for a character to frontline your team, Antadra is a great choice for story mode. She’s a pure tank as her skills are focused solely on defense.

Character	Class	Faction
Lucius	Tank	Lightbearer
Marilee	Marksman	Lightbearer
Korin	Warrior	Lightbearer
Arden	Mage	Wilder
Mirael	Mage	Lightbearer
Seth	Rogue	Mauler
Shakir	Rogue	Mauler
Viperian	Mage	Graveborn

A-tier consists of characters that are either very hard to upgrade or are not that useful in various game modes. Or, there can simply be better options. With that said, they are certainly above average and some of them can be great in the very late stages of the game.

• Korin: Korin is one of these A-Tier characters that can be very very good in the end game. That said, there are better characters to play around during the early and mid stages of the game. He’s a melee warrior who brings DPS and tons of CC to the team as he can immobilize and knock back enemies.
• Marilee: Marilee is a Marksman who can move in any direction and deal damage to the two closest enemies. She’s way better in the later stages of the game.
• Mirael: A Mage of the Lightbearer faction, Mirael needs some time to ramp up her damage. If your team can provide her that time, she’s capable of dealing a high amount of damage.

Character	Class	Faction
Kruger	Warrior	Maurer
Silvina	Rogue	Graveborn
Vala	Rogue	Lightbearer
Valen	Warrior	Lightbearer
Salazer	Rogue	Graveborn
Elronn	Rogue	Wilder
Satrana	Mage	Mauler
Atalanta	Marksman	Lightbearer
Damian	Support	Wilder

B-tier characters are average for the most part. Even though characters in the above tiers are simply better options, B-Tier characters can be useful in specific team comps or game modes.

• Kruger: Kruger is arguably the best armour debuffer in the game. The problem is, that doesn’t mean much. He can be useful in the arena or in certain team comps that are physically damage-based.
• Damian: Damian is something like a jack of all trades. The only problem is, he doesn’t excel at anything. He can be good if you are willing to invest a lot in him. But even then, there are probably better options.
• Vala: Vala is an assassin with global ultimate range. Can switch between range and melee attack.

Character	Class	Faction
Casadee	Mage	Lightbearer
Temesia	Tank	Lightbearer
Fay	Support	Lightbearer
Lumont	Tank	Mauler
Niru	Support	Graveborn
Parisa	Mage	Wilder
Walker	Rogue	Lightbearer

C-tier characters are more like fillers. You shouldn’t bother too much with them as there are simply much better options. That said, future game updates might change their potential, so make sure to check back on this page to get the latest AFK Journey tier list.
