All heroes in AFK Arena fulfill certain roles during a battle. In the past these roles have been mostly unofficial and designated by the community, based on the heroes kit.
In recent patches however, Lilith have added an official primary & secondary role for each hero.
Here we'll list all heroes and their roles in a filterable table. A description of each role can also be found at the bottom of the page.
