All teams in AFK Journey comprise a tank, a healer, the DPS, and the secondary heroes. In total, there are five Heroes in every AFK Journey team. Every team you make needs both long-term and short-term potential. If a team doesn't work, you can always substitute the Hero who doesn't sync with the team.
Your party setups depend on what you're running, whether PVP, Dream Realm Bosses, or the story mode. Let this guide help you assemble the ultimate lineup for victory.
What are the best AFK Journey teams?
Early game
When playing AFK Journey, you must depend on the most easy-to-obtain characters. They work well with newcomers, and you can switch out these Heroes as you progress with the game and unlock more powerful units.
Thankfully, the following Heroes make an optimum early-game team, which you can tweak and experiment with as you go forward with the story.
- Tank: Lucius
- Healer: Hewynn
- DPS 1: Brutus
- DPS 2: Antandra
- Marksman: Cecia
Lucius' Ultimate offers a high-powered shield to the DPSs, while high-damage units take the leads. For example, Brutus becomes invincible for five seconds and dishes out damage high enough to break the defence line.
The other DPS, Antandra, uses her Ultimate to knock enemies back by shooting them away. As for healing, Hewynn works best from the back. If your team's HP has dropped to a dangerous level, use her Ultimate to heal up everyone.
Lastly, put Cecia, the marksman at the back and let her steadily strip away at the enemies' HP. Doing so helps her accumulate enough energy for her Ultimate, Mr. Carlyle. This individual summon gets Cecia's stats to deal a conical 220% AOE damage for his Normal Attack. Moreover, Cecia and Mr. Carlyle get more skills and boosts as you level them.
PVP combat
Party compositions for PVP are easy to work with and flexible about team changes. In Arena, you can use every Hero you have already unlocked. But you can even add the locked characters to your team in the Honor Duel PVP mode. This way, you can practice with a future team comp after unlocking the Hero.
One of the most efficient AFK Journey PVP Teams using this composition:
- Tank: Thoran
- Healer: Rowan
- DPS 1: Lyca
- DPS 2: Silvina
- Support Tank: Antandra
Thoran is a great Tank in PVP, as it can deal with ranged attacks. He can also drain enemies' lives and self-resurrect with 40% HP. Of course, the latter is only possible once in every battle. Thoran works great with Lyca, who can increase the attack speed of allies by 25 for six seconds.
For a barrage of blink and regular attacks, Silvina works her magic. She can mark and teleport directly to a target enemy. Her skill, Soul Reaper, can also reduce an enemy's energy by 200. These attacks and tanking skills sync well with Rowan's skills.
While Rowan's Quick Waltz deals attacks and absorbs the enemy's energy alongside Silvina, his Smart Stall heals allies for 40% of their max HP by 800% of Rowan's attack power. Not to forget, his skill, Fatal Greed, helps to restore 250 Energy for nearby allies.
Lastly, Antandra works great as a support tank. As her ultimate, she can activate her shields and taunt enemies towards her. The best part is that her shield can stun enemies, while her spear deals 400% damage to knock them down. She recovers 8% extra HP with every hit, making her an all-rounder support. She perfectly balances shielding allies and her damage, making her an ideal PVP Hero to try.
AFK Journey meta teams
Now that you know which Heroes are OP for team compositions, it's time to bring in a team that you can use almost everywhere. The meta team comprises the best Heroes in AFK Journey, with powerful damage, shield, support, and healing tactics.
So who does this team include? Let's find out.
- Tank: Thoran
- Healer: Smokey & Meerky
- DPS 1: Antandra
- Marksman: Cecia
- Support: Koko
Thoran's self-reviving and life-draining skills make him perfect for all team comps. While we've seen Antandra as a great support tank, her Ultimate can knock back enemies and break their attack combos.
On the other hand, Cecia's ultimate, Mr. Carlyle, adds NPC alley to your team, increasing your damage output. And for healing, you have Koko and Smokey & Meerky for support and damage.
