The AFK Progress can be seen and accessed on the bottom left of the game. This is where rewards accumulate whether or not you’re playing AFK Journey. As you go through the AFK Stages, new game modes and rewards are unlocked.

In the story of AFK Journey, you will also face battles that may be difficult if you’re not prepared. These two modes are PvE, meaning you’re not playing against real players. Here are the best teams that you could utilize to clear these battles:

Default Roles for Team Building in AFK Journey

The default roles you need for a team in AFK Stages and Story are the following:

• 2 DPS
• 1 Tank
• 1 Support or Healer
• 1 more DPS / Tank / Support

This role format can help you decide who to bring into your AFK Stage. This would also help you balance the team, have enough damage to deal with the enemies, and have both tanks and healers to sustain the team.

Strongest Team to Run in AFK Journey

This might be the best and strongest team to run for AFK Stages. This team build proves effective even at AFK Stages 400+, so it can easily push you through the earlier stages.

Ideal Positions

Positioning becomes important as the AFK Stages progressively become harder as players reach higher stages. For this particular team build, this is the recommended position of each character.

It’s important to have Cecia near the front to ensure that she’s also taking some damage so she can charge her ultimate a bit faster than if she were at the back. Rowan would also help in providing energy and healing to the team. Smokey and Meeky would also provide continuous healing and buffs in an area, so it’s best to keep the units near each other.

Here are some alternatives for these characters:

• Odie: To replace Cecia if you already have their EX weapon as it allows you to execute enemies.
• Brutus and Thoran: Would be good alternatives to Antandra if you don’t have her or haven’t leveled her up enough.

Best Teams with Faction Bonus in AFK Journey

Faction Bonus is obtained when the team has 3/(3+2)/4/5 heroes from the same faction. This increases the ATK and HP of all deployed heroes to 10%/14%/18%/22%. These teams will be utilizing this bonus, but

Cecia, again, would be the best DPS character for this team build. She would be accompanied by Thoran, Silvina, Rowan, and Vala. Thoran would be the tank to take on the enemies’ damage. Rowan is one of the best support characters in the game, so definitely use him to charge up Cecia’s ultimate faster.

This team build will effectively give a bonus of 10% towards the characters’ ATK and HP, which will be helpful in the AFK stages and story battles.

Silvina can be exchanged with Viperian, depending on the situation. If you wish to attack the enemy’s backline heavily, you’d best go with Silvina. If you’d rather have additional AoE damage, go for Viperian.

Best Wilder Team in AFK Journey

Another great team to run is the Wilder Team, which consists of Lyca, Hewynn, Granny, Bryon, and Cecia. Lyca is great for the team as she immediately restores Energy and increases their ATK SPD for 6s.

Hewynn would be the healer, and she is amazing for the role as it’s a whole arena-wide heal. It’s best if she was placed in the back to avoid getting her killed early in the stage. Granny acts as the tank for the team but can be replaced by other tanks from other factions if you don’t have her.

Bryon and Cecia would be the core damage dealers for this team, but other damage dealers could also substitute Bryon if you haven’t gotten them yet.

Best Lightbearer Team in AFK Journey

The Lightbearer Team would consist of Vala, a Rogue who can attack the enemy’s backline, Rowan, Marilee, Temesia, and Cecia. Rowan is an amazing support character who provides both Energy and healing for the team. Marilee can be swapped out with Korin to deal damage to the enemies.

Temesia charges around the arena, so protecting the damage dealers may be an issue. You could swap her out with other Tank heroes, such as Granny, Thoran, and Lucius.

The fifth hero, in place of Cecia, can honestly be anyone. Cecia is too good, so it’s great to utilize her as much as possible. This would go down to preferences, if you’d rather have more than one support or tank character.

Best Mauler Team in AFK Journey

Lastly, the Mauler Team that would help you in the AFK Stages and Story consists of Antandra, Odie, Smokey & Meeky, Cecia, and Shakir. Antandra can be substituted with Brutus, as the hero could serve both damage and buy time for the team with the immortality.

Odie is an amazing damage dealer, so it’s a no-brainer to include them in the lineup. Smokey and Meeky are the support characters to go for in this team, as they provide both heals and buffs.

Cecia’s included again because she’s just that good. Most players would most likely have one or two copies of her, too. The last spot would go to Shakir as he’d be dealing a good amount of damage to the enemies.
