AFK Arena Tier List

Updated: September 3, 2021

This is a tier list for heroes in AFK Arena. Each hero is rated based on their performance in different types of content for each level bracket. This includes PvE, PvP, Labyrinth (relic content) & Bosses.

The ratings are entirely subjective. They’re based on the personal opinion of experienced players that are well progressed at all levels of the game. If you think a hero is rated wrong for something, let us know (with proof) and we’ll gladly change it!

And as with any tier list, take it with a pinch of salt. Don’t treat it like the bible of the game. You can progress with most of the heroes eventually, because the level of your heroes is far more important in most cases.

Also keep in mind that the unique thing about AFK Arena is that you can reset the EXP of heroes at any point and level another one. Don’t be afraid to try out different heroes and team comps to progress through the game. You’re not really that invested into any hero until you start consuming other heroes to ascend it.

Things can also get a little more complex once you factor in the bonus for having the same faction heroes in one team. Generally having at least one of the buffs active is recommended.
