AFK Journey Character Tier List (January 2025)

AFK Journey Character Tier List: A Guide to Building Your Optimal Team

AFK Journey boasts a large roster of characters, making team building a challenge. This tier list, updated for November 2024, helps you prioritize character development. Remember, most characters are viable, but some excel in endgame content. This list ranks characters based on versatility, overall performance in PvE, Dream Realm, and PvP.

Important Note: This tier list is subject to change with game updates and balance adjustments.

S-Tier: Top-Tier Performers

This tier houses the must-have characters, excelling across various game modes. Lily May, a recent addition, significantly boosts Wilder teams with her damage and utility. Thoran remains a top F2P tank, while Reinier is a crucial support for both PvE and PvP. Koko, Smokey & Meerky, and Odie are essential supports for various game modes. Eironn, with Damien and Arden, forms a dominant Arena team. Tasi offers strong crowd control for the Wilder faction, and Harak, a powerful Hypogean/Celestial warrior, becomes stronger as battles progress.

A-Tier: Strong Contenders

This tier features characters highly effective in most situations. Lyca and Vala excel with the Haste stat, boosting attack frequency. Antandra is a solid alternative tank to Thoran. Viperian complements Graveborn teams with energy-draining abilities. Alsa provides strong DPS and synergizes well with Eironn in PvP. Phraesto, a durable tank, lacks damage output. Ludovic is a valuable Graveborn healer, particularly effective with Talene. Cecia, while still a capable Marksman, has decreased in value due to meta shifts. Sonja provides significant improvements to the Lightborne faction.

B-Tier: Situational Utility

These characters effectively fill roles but are outclassed by higher-tier options. Valen and Brutus are strong early-game DPS choices. Granny Dahnie serves as a decent alternative tank. Arden and Damien, while meta in PvP, lack utility elsewhere. Florabelle offers secondary DPS support, but requires significant investment. Soren performs adequately in PvP but lacks effectiveness in other modes. Korin's Dream Realm performance has diminished.

C-Tier: Early-Game Options

These characters are generally outclassed quickly. While useful early on, they should be replaced with higher-tier alternatives as soon as possible. Parisa offers AoE control but is quickly surpassed.

This tier list provides a valuable framework for building your AFK Journey team. Remember to check back for updates as new characters are added and existing ones are adjusted.
