AFK Journey Best Teams

All in all, the best teams in any game can be a subjective topic. However, there are some staples in each team that must be included no matter what. Additionally, AFK Journey features different factions, which can provide buffs when combined.

Faction Buffs Explained

With the knowledge of the statement above regarding factions, it’s important to remember that utilising multiple characters from the same faction can increase certain stats.

Now, this doesn’t mean that your entire team has to be from a singular faction. In fact, I suggest having around 2 factions in your team to boost the stats efficiently. This is the case for most teams, unless your strongest characters are all from the same faction, of course!

Team Roles

Team roles are self-explanatory, but I’ll go into a little more detail in regards to how they work in AFK Journey. You’ve got your Supports, Marksmans, Rogues, Tanks, Mages, and Warriors.

• Tank and Warrior
  • They should be at the front of the team placement
  • You should have at least 1 Tank or Warrior in your team at all times, with more focus on obtaining a strong Tank!
• Marksman
  • Marksman characters are another form of ‘Support’, leaning heavier on dealing additional damage rather than providing buffs
• Support
  • Some Support characters are healers or have abilities that can buff their teammates
  • I suggest putting them at the back of the team placement so their AoE healing abilities can reach everyone
    • and this will further protect the healer from oncoming attacks!
• Mage
  • Excel with ranged combat
  • Keep them either at the back of the team placement or in the middle
• Rogue
  • They can zoom around the battlefield to attack enemies
  • I prefer to keep them close to the front, mainly on the side of a Tank
