AFK Journey Tier List
A disclaimer: Most AFK Journey heroes are usable. However, some outperform others in challenging endgame scenarios.
This tier list prioritizes versatility and performance across PvE, Dream Realm, and PvP.

|---|---|
| S | Thoran, Rowan, Koko, Smokey & Meerky, Reinier, Odie, Eironn, Lily May, Tasi, Harak |
| A | Antandra, Viperian, Lyca, Hewynn, Bryon, Vala, Temesia, Silvina, Shakir, Scarlita, Dionel, Alsa, Phraesto, Ludovic, Mikola, Cecia, Talene, Sinbad, Hodgkin, Sonja |
| B | Valen, Brutus, Rhys, Marilee, Igor, Granny Dahnie, Seth, Damian, Cassadee, Carolina, Arden, Florabelle, Soren, Korin, Ulmus, Dunlingr, Nara, Lucca, Hugin |
| C | Satrana, Parisa, Niru, Mirael, Kafra, Fay, Salazer, Lumont, Kruger, Atalanta |
S-Tier Characters
Lily May, a must-have Wilder, delivers exceptional damage and utility. She counters Eironn teams in PvP and excels in AFK stages and Dream Realm.
Thoran remains the best F2P tank, especially before obtaining Phraesto. Reinier is a top support for both PvE and PvP (Dream Realm and Arena).
Koko and Smokey & Meerky are essential supports across game modes. Odie shines in Dream Realm and PvE.
Eironn, with Damien and Arden, forms a dominant Arena team.
Tasi, a strong Wilder, offers versatile crowd control in most game modes. Harak, a powerful Hypogean/Celestial warrior, gains strength with each kill and features Life Drain.
A-Tier Characters
Lyca and Vala utilize Haste effectively. Lyca boosts party Haste; Vala increases her own with each marked enemy kill. Lyca's PvP performance may be limited.
Antandra is a solid tank alternative to Thoran. Viperian complements a Graveborn core with energy drain and AoE attacks, excelling outside Dream Realm.
Alsa, a strong DPS mage, is a viable alternative to Carolina in Eironn-based PvP compositions. Phraesto, a durable Hypogean/Celestial tank, lacks damage output.
Ludovic, a Graveborn healer, synergizes well with Talene and performs exceptionally in PvP. Cecia, while a good Marksman, has reduced late-game value compared to newer heroes.
Sonja significantly enhances the Lightborne faction with respectable damage and utility across all game modes.
B-Tier Characters
B-Tier characters fill roles adequately but lack the investment value of higher tiers. Replace them with A or S-tier heroes when possible.
Valen and Brutus are strong early-game DPS choices. Granny Dahnie is a decent early-game tank with debuffs and heals.
Arden and Damien are PvP meta mainstays but less useful in other PvE modes.
Florabelle, a secondary DPS supporting Cecia, requires significant investment. Soren is decent in PvP but suboptimal elsewhere. Korin's Dream Realm effectiveness has diminished.
C-Tier Characters
C-Tier heroes are outclassed quickly after AFK level 100. Focus on summoning better replacements.
Parisa, while offering strong AoE crowd control, should be replaced as soon as possible.
This tier list is subject to change with future hero additions and game updates.
