Here is the complete list of all Signature Items in AFK Arena!
What are Signature Items?
Once your heroes have reached the Mythic tier, you will be able to unlock their “Signature Items”. All Legendary Tier Heroes do not have signature items.
These special items will increase their stats as well as grant them some special abilities. Additionally, Signature Items also have their own Attributes [Dynamic]
Attributes [Dynamic] are calculated based on the hero’s base stats. The base stats are the original stats of the Hero while not having effects from any item/artifact/union.
Upgrading signature items increase their attributes as well as the buffs they offer.
How to Unlock Signature Items?
Using Primordial Emblems is the only way to unlock Signature Items.
You need 20 Primordial Emblems to unlock a Signature Item.
How to obtain Primordial Emblems?

How to upgrade Signature Items?
- You can upgrade the Signature Item’s grade to +10 by using Primordial Emblems.

Signature Item Tier List
by whitesushii
Note:
- This signature item tier list is mainly for PvE progression.
- Being a signature item priority list, this list not only considers the strength of a Signature Item (SI), but also the usability of the hero possessing it. In this sense, a SI, no matter how strong, is low priority if people rarely use the hero for general PvE progression outside the King’s Tower (i.e. Seirus). This is also the same reason why most Maulers exist on lower tiers. On the flip side, a weak SI like Nemora/Tasi is worth investing in since the heroes are played frequently and even the stat boost is alright.

Thank you a lot man!
Very useful info, thank you. By the way, the tier list has Nara’s name but with a picture of Kaz.
Wow thank you a lot! I will update it right now!
nara has avatar image of kaz
Fixing it now. Thank you a lot!
Great guide
I disagree with the decision to take hero viability into account when ranking signature items. People use hero tier lists to figure out what heroes are good, and then build their team. People use this list to figure out which items to level first out of the heroes that they have already decided to use. But, if someone builds a team using a hero further down the tier list, advising them to level a signature item for a higher hero can be the wrong decision if the lower tier hero has a better signature item and they’re set on using… Read more »
Isn’t it obvious that if you don’t plan on using a hero, you shouldn’t be investing in the SI?
Rigby was not included in the complete list of what the SI’s do.
Yeah because most players don’t care about him 🙁
I mean, that is true, but I would think that for the sake of providing information on everyone and for showing why Rigby’s SI is not good according to analysis, it would be beneficial for others to be able to see why it’s bad here, or at least let them decide. I might be biased because I main Rigby, however.
Good point! I will make a post talking about bad Heroes soon!
Can someone explain what Thane’s level 30 is? “Thane’s damage will be increased” Like how much though, Big difference between 5% and 20%.
It’s a huge difference for his ultimate. However, it’s not worth it to invest in Thane at the moment. Better to invest in other Lightbearer Heroes…
Hey!
Is it still 300 points for sig 30?
Yes, no change!
Do you also have the SI +5, +15, +25, +35?, +40? Bonuses? For example, Athalia at +15 gets LifeLeech +4% and +25 gets an additional Life Leech +4%.
Gotta work on this! If you have any information kindly share it with us 😀
This list appears to be out of date. I was surprised to see Brutus’s SI listed so low, but when I looked up the abilities you have listed for his SI it made sense. His current SI at +20 is better than what you’ve listed at +30.
Gotta check it out and fix it. Thank you so much!
Kaz’s SI is outdated
Gotta update it. Thank you a lot!
Ulmus isn’t on the tier list
yeah
was one of my fisrt ascend heros, but sadly he is too weak
There is no Cecilia’s SI 🙁
