AFK Journey is an intricately designed Idle RPG with flashy anime-style vibes. Exploring the vast, unknown mysteries of this magical land is as enticing as the overall theme of the game. However, as you progress, you will soon hit a wall that is only possible by building synergized team compositions. Do not worry, as we will be going through some of the best teams you can build as a beginner.

Team #1. The Meta Team

The heroes included in this team are as follows:

• Thoran (Front)

• Antandra (Mid)

• Cecia (Back)

• Koko (Mid)

• Smokey & Meerky (Back)

This team configuration works well in a variety of combat scenarios due to its strong frontline, which heavy damage dealers and potent healers support. We use Thoran as a damage absorber in this team. He has one chance to resurrect, giving other Heroes an advantage to deliver as much early damage as they can.

Position Antandra behind Thoran for the best usage. Antandra is a Tank by nature, although she also plays a DPS role. She also has a fantastic knockback effect in her ultimate that disrupts the enemy’s formation. Cecia should remain close to the rear Supporters. You want her in the safe haven where she may regain her energy and call her demonic beast, Mr. Carlyle. Together with Smokey and Koko, defend the team. Both of these characters can heal the squad and lessen the damage. They are sturdy enough to protect the squishy heroes from incoming assailants.

Team #2. The Early Game Dream Team

The heroes included in this team are as follows:

• Lucius (Front)

• Brutus (Front)

• Antandra (Mid)

• Cecia (Back)

• Hewynn (Back)

This composition consists of one Tank, one Healer/Support, and two Damage Dealers. Because of its well-balanced attack-defense ratio, the squad has a high victory rate in first-round matches. Use Brutus to breach the enemy’s front line. For five seconds, he gains invincibility, which lets subsequent attackers breach the defense.

Lucius should assist DPS heroes. Put him in front of Antandra and Brutus so that he can use his Ultimate to protect them. Using Antandra, disrupt the enemy’s counter-tactical. Her Ultimate shoots enemy warriors away with a knockback effect. Place her behind Brutus and Lucius. Keep Cecia safe in the rear. As she gathers energy for her Ultimate strike on Mr. Carlyle, let her chip away at the enemy’s hit points. Hewynn can help the team heal. To keep her safe, place her in the tile farthest from the front. When the HP on your team is dangerously low, use her Ultimate ability for quick regeneration.

Team-Building Tips and Tricks

Here are some core tips and tricks to help you build a strong team according to the heroes you have:

• Wave-Based Combat: Keep in mind that AFK Journey has wave-based combat where your frontline emerges first in the combat, followed by your mid-line and back-line. Ensure you put the strongest first in the line-up (ideally a Tank) followed by squishy heroes (ideally DPS/Supports).
• Range—Make sure your team comp has heroes within the same range brackets. Ideally, bring heroes with low-mid range so they stick together. If one hero has a longer range, they can be left out and prone to enemy assassins.
• Synergy – Heroes should be paired so that their effects complement or enhance one another’s. For instance, the protective shields that Brutus, Lucius, and Antandra all possess improve the team’s overall toughness.
• Faction Bonuses—A faction bonus provides you with stronger stats and abilities, but it can also prevent you from using the best heroes available on your account. Do not overthink this aspect.

It is highly recommended that you play AFK Journey on your PC with BlueStacks without worrying about battery drainage and smooth gameplay.
