AFK Arena Tier List – Best Heroes for PvP & PvE (Patch 1.72)

This AFK Arena Tier List gives players a rough idea of the best Heroes you should focus on during different stages of the game: Early, Mid, and Late Game.

Hero ratings for different game modes are also included: PvP, PvE, Labyrinth Arcane, and Guild Boss.

If you are new to the game, check out the Hero Priority guide or read the guide by Leanker at the bottom to see the general idea to build up your teams based on this tier list ranking!

Last Update: Patch 1.72 (September 16, 2021) – Granit Release

Early Game Tier List

From the beginning to Campaign Chapter 30.

Before level 160, it’s recommended to use either as your main carry while slowly working on Daimon, Eironn or Saurus as they should be your main carry afterwards. Select Ezizh from the challenger store and use lab coins for Arthur except when a dimensional exchange is ongoing. More details here!

After level 240, Legendary Tier Heroes will no get any additional skill upgrades, they will fall off in power, losing the viability. It’s safe to sacrifice the following Heroes immediately for upgrading the others.

Notes

Character Ranking

Tier List Sections

• Overall: A general tier list that acts as an overview of the heroes’ power and utility at a certain level range.
• PvP: A more specific tier list of heroes who are best suited for the Arena and other PvP activities.
• PvE: A specific tier list of heroes best used for the Campaign and King’s Tower.
• Lab (Labyrinth & Peaks of Time): The tier list specific to heroes which are best suited for the Arcane Labyrinth and Peaks of Time mode.
• Twisted Realm: Tierlist on which heroes are best to bring against Twisted Realm Bosses

For more details, please scroll down!

Shemira & Belinda are not great starting heroes anymore!

Obviously, Belinda and Shemira are the best Heroes in the early to mid-stage of the game.  They are Free-to-play friendly and are the easiest carry heroes to invest in: You can get 2 Shemira copies for free, one from the Divine Realm and one from finishing Chapter 15. You can also get her from the Labyrinth Store. The same things apply to Belinda!

However, Once your crystal is above level 240, you can start feeling that they become less effective. They now die faster and usually before casting the ultimate. After level 240, most players use them in the Twisted Realms and King’s Tower only. That’s why I do not put recommend using them even they might be good on the above AFK Arena tier list!

Build Up Your Teams Based On The Top-tier Heroes

Guide by Leanker

Currently have 5 meta teams! Let’s take a deeper look into them, build up the best formation around them based on the tier list above!

Eironn Team

→ → → → → →

Early Game:

Every single investment you have on Eironn is totally worth it: From levels, gears, Signature Items, to Furniture and even Lyca, Safiya, Tidus, etc. at the tier Elite.

The other Eiron’s supports must have a little more investment:

• Rowan: Get his Signature Item to +30 asap.
• Ferael: Get him some decent gears.

If you want to use Eironn in the early game, get those supports, then start working on Skirath when approaching the mid-game.

Mid Game

Entering the mid-game, which extends around Chapter 30, you want to have an ascended Skriath with 3/3 furniture ability, allowing you to form the Five Pull team. This incredible team can quickly burst down the enemies and applies a lot of controls over them.

Five Pull Team
Optimal	Budget

This is an incredibly aggressive team and all of the support heroes are worth investing:

• Lyca +20
• Rowan +  Ferael: Any investment is worth it.
• Safiya: She can deal meaningful amount of damage at this stage.
• Tidus: Gear, Signature Item, and more to allow him to CC and deal better damage.

They are top-tier heroes you must focus on if you want to use Eironn.

Late Game

For the late game, which is around chapter 34-35 (for now).

The early game is mostly factional, the midgame is kind of between, the late game is all about maxing out the support heroes that are not easy to get.

For example, the Five-Full team cannot be found here unless you support the game using Zolrath with Furniture, making the burst significantly better to take down the weak enemies first asap.

Lucretia is also being used a lot in this set. While she has her own teams, she offers a crazy support here, making it one of the best AFK Arena formations right now.

There are some other great picks here but all require a huge investment. For example, Orthos would be perfect for this team in the late game as he slows down the enemies while Lyca offers Haste, working well with Zolrath.

This team requires investment but it works flawlessly, allowing you to push through the hatest stages in game with the minimum power.

Everything you put on Eironn pays off really well here.

Daimon Comp

Optimal	Budget

Build Order

→ → → → → → → 

Early Game

Daimon doesn’t require you to have a lot of support for him. He should be able to carry the whole team without any issue.

Any minimum investment in support is excellent for him.

Any tank that cheats death such as Brutus, Thoran, Satrana, etc. are great for him! Investing in these to bring Daimon to the next level.

Mid Game

He is still able to carry your team but now requires Signature Item and Furniture for better consistency. 

You probably want to have 2 good heroes to use with Daimon. However, he can work well with a lot of heroes so it shouldn’t be a difficult task.

Brutus and  Thoran are still great here. Supports like Rowan and Twins are excellent if you have access to them. 

Late Game

Lastly, in the endgame, Alna is the hero that Daimon enjoys the most! She offers the immunity to Daimon, making her the core ally to Daimon at the moment. 

If you run Daimon comp from the early game, Alna is the hero you want to do stargazing before the endgame.

 

God Comp

Optimal	Budget

Build Order

→ → → → → → →

Early Game

Work on Saurus first, he should be your main focus during the early game.

While most players start stargazing when it’s about the late game, it’s actually okay to have an ascended celestial/hypogen hero when approaching the midgame.

I actually recommend early stargazing because Rowan and Twins are the best heroes on our tier list!

If you start stargazing Twins early, you will have a decent copy of them in middle of chapter 20s, allowing you to start the budget Godcomp formation early.

Mid Game

Invest in Rowan, Talene, Mehira, Tasi, and Saurus in the mid-game if you decide to go with this team. Work on their Signature Items and you will be paid off really well!

Saurus and Tasi are great substitutes for Talene and Mehira. They have an incredible synergy. If you are using them early, invest in Saurus +30, it brings him to the next-level of power, especially in Campaign and Twisted Realms.

Rowan is an obvious hero you need to work on. He is definitely the single best hero in AFK Arena.

Ezizh is the last hero to invest in. Replace him with Ferael if you don’t want to invest in Ezizh early.

This team helps you push really with a large deficit margin and Twins should be the only Celepogean you have in the game if you don’t use Ezizh.

Think of it this way: A stargazing costs 500 Diamonds while summoning costs 300. Stargazing is 2% for a high-class hero, while summoning is 4% for an elite hero. Stargazed hero to Tavern Elites are 1 to 3, while ascended Twins are worth more than most of 4 ascended heroes.

Late Game

Even when using a budget version of this team, you can push really high at minimum power, that’s why you should invest on this team early.

Then, start working on Ezizh, Mehira, and Talene, and you will be golden!

Ainz & Albedo

Optimal	Budget

Build Order

→ → → → → → →

Early-Mid Game

Ainz and Albedo are the best investments in the game you can make. Just work on their SIs + Furniture and you will be golden!

If you are lucky to these top-tier heroes, you can easily take down the hardest enemies in the campaign without a single effort. 

The support Heroes in this team can easily fit well in other teams too.

For example, you can use Saurus instead of Talene, allowing you Talene in the Daimon set.

Late Game

Lastly, in the late game, you want to invest in most of the heroes you’ve already got, and start investing in some niche heroes like Alna, Mortas, etc.

This set is so great as it benefits from all general investments from Elder Tree, Furniture Items, Signature Items, etc.

Thoran Cheese

Optimal	Budget

Build Order

→ → → → → →  →

Early Game

A lot of people love using Thoran Cheese due to the simplicity of it. And this team is still viable for the endgame.

Thoran reflects the damage back towards the enemies and you can defeat most aggressive teams with some replays. 

As Thoran is the only core hero of this team, you can start trying it once you get Thoran in the early game. If you are persistent enough, this team can beat almost all teams in the game after some retries.

Mid Game

During mid-game, get him the Signature Item +1 and he is good to go! You can even support him with some Elite heroes and he really enjoys that!

Kelthur, Nara, and Athalia are good examples of supports as they displace the enemies.

Oden and Pippa also do the job really well and they can also work well in the Portal Core team in the endgame. 

Eironn pulls the enemies towards Thoran, making him do the job even easier.

End Game

In the endgame, Thoran really shines with SI +20, and any investment in heroes that can be still helpful while Thoran is charging like Lyca +20, Ezizh, Talene, Flora, Kelthur, etc.

If you don’t like Cheese, or don’t have any next hero mention in the list above to work on, 

Alternative Teams

If you don’t use any of the mentioned teams, or you are investing in another hero on our tier list, there are still a lot of viable sets for the campaign but they are less consistent than the ones above. But they are still common to see in the end game and worth the investment.

Let’s take a quick look at them!

Izold is a great carry on his own. He is incredible in some certain teams! If you start working on him from the early game, get his SI to +30 and 3/3 furniture in the mid game, then get his 9/9 furniture in the end game, alongside with valuable heroes like Rowan, Silas, etc. And he is good to go for the end game.

Gwyneth can destroy any static backline. She is weak against the strong burst teams right now, but against many specific endgame enemies, she is still incredible. She works excellent with Arthur, Rosaline, or even Estrilda, Hendrik, etc. as her core allies in the mid game. In the late game, support her with Khazard, Joker, and especially Zaphrael.

Skreg Tidus Invade team or Stall Orthos Talene Flora team share a lot of heroes together, and the Celes-Graveborn team is very flexible. Investing in heroes like Flora or Skerg allows you to run these teams effectively. They can work with a lot of allies flawlessly.

PvP Hero Tier List

Let’s talk about PvP now!

If you want to have your next hero to boost the PvP capabilities, check out our PvP guide for more details.

I will just make it short here so that you can quickly know which heroes you should invest for the most viable endgame PvP teams.

• Burst team . People really underrate Zaphrael. He is incredible and works well in the campaign too.
• Alna Cycle:
• Lucretia Team: Counterheal to Godcomp, Alna counters burst, great CC against Ainz.

Twisted Realm Tier List

Some of you might want to have a better score in Twisted Realm.

Saurus is definitely the best hero that gives you a lot of great positions in many bosses.

Twins are extremely important here and is the main reason why I recommend getting it early.

In the early game, there are a few heroes that are easy to get and work really well here such as Grezhul, Daimon, Izold, Warek.

Stargazing Mortas to Elite+ is a luxury option that gives you the access to a lot of teams.
