AFK Journey is an innovative fantasy RPG by Lilith Games, where you can experience the world of magic as the legendary mage Merlin. The game is built like a beautiful storybook, filled with 5v5 combats and progression with real time strategy. Team Building is fundamental to any player’s success to win fights in AFK Journey and each hero you choose, will bring their own unique abilities and contribute accordingly to their roles.
Some heroes can even carry the whole team with their sheer dominance and strength or some will just synergize as a team while some will just get overshadowed due to their incompetency. But keep in mind that the game is still in its early stage, and with every balance update, the meta is likely to shift completely.
Let’s follow LDShop for a tier list based on the latest August patch 1.4.3 to help you identify the heroes that have the carry potential and the ones who you should avoid to maximise your team’s synergy and strength.
