You will spend years of your life waiting, every waking moment perched on the precipice of your consciousness, for a moment that never comes. Chasing the dragon, you will find your life savings dwindling as you recklessly spend to reach evermore for that unattainable milestone. You will miss family events, weddings, the birth of your child -- forever adhered to the taunting machinations of the progress you cannot reach. You will die cold and alone, abandoned by all who love you. Clutching your cell phone to your chest, your final breathless words crossing your crackled lips, "just one more level up..."

Also you never get any girlfriend points at all.

I've been playing AFK arena for a bit, not sure how long, maybe 2 months. I've always been against spending any money on IAP, if a game has a wall and you gotta spend money I just stop playing. Having said that, I've spent over 20 dollars google money in this game (I got both "monthly subs" for daily diamonds, they dont auto renew). Its the only game I've ever spent more than a couple bucks on, but hey I wasn't using it for anything else.

Some tips I've picked up along the way:

-only spend diamonds on 10 pulls. anything else is a waste (imo)

-Shemira is really OP and can carry you through most of the early game. She is available in the labyrinth store

-eventually (after certain levels, don't remember which ones but the top of the guild store says get to level x-x to see new stuff) the guild store will start selling legendary gear, and then later, mythic gear, if you don't need whatever its selling now to progress then save your guild coins.

-if you can afford it, buy the purple dust every day in the normal store. dust is the biggest barrier later on to leveling up your top 5 and you'll be glad to have it. despite this you'll still hit that gate as you go

-the subreddit is very active and has a lot of good info scattered in among all the memes or whatever https://www.reddit.com/r/afkarena

-try not to use ascended level characters (the ones that only come purple) as fodder to ascend someone else. they're rare and you may regret it. Despite that I have sacrificed one I had no intention of ever using (Raine, the gun lady).


I tried a few other games supposedly like this one to see if I could find a side game but they're all so drat ugly or overwhelming right off the bat. This game would be amazing without all the cash grabbing walls but I guess thats mobile gaming.

That dust info was in my tip post I made ages ago. I'll repost since more people are playing these days.


Some updates: I haven't spent any more money, not really worth it cause you get past whatever you're stuck on and then boom you're stuck again. Unless you're a whale.

I've never seen another Raine drop. So to reiterate never feed your ascended tier people to anyone else cause they can be really rare. And I've since learned they are how you raise the level cap of the crystal when you hit the real level cap of 240. I'm not sure how that works exactly but it's a thing.

Also, characters that suck now can become badass later when their badass skill gets unlocked at 161 or 201 or whatever

Just had a great labyrinth run on AFK. Sun and moonstones, frontline heroes turn on the backline, enemies lose a chunk of health at the start, when one enemy takes damage all enemies take damage, energy regen raised, health regen raised, attacked by arrows after 15 seconds.

Matches basically start with them unable to act and having their health halved, and by the time they turn round and react Henrik or Tasi stuns everyone, and then they get hit by a barrage of arrows that stun and damage any survivors.

Yeah sometimes you can really steamroll thru those with the right relics. I like one where the grim appears appears to finish off enemies below 15%.

I'm SO happy to have that every time I run into a high level Brutus, such a massive difference it makes.

Speaking of massive differences, I was at the 160 wall for a long rear end time because I kept getting fodder for different factions. This week it finally got to a head and I suddenly have a Mythic Shemira, Brutus and Belinda :yeshaha:

You could always just reset Brutus and feed that XP and dust to someone who can go past 100. Put together an E+ that you'll eventually feed to Brutus later, get them past 100, and put Brutus in a crystal-boosting slot.

That is what I'm about to do as I have several other characters in a position to pass him. I actualy fed someone to him in the first place because I wanted to level him to cap first because he's a beast.

Oh yeah, Brutus is a fantastic tank, but most of the Ascended-tier units are hard to come by; my own Brutus is stuck at L with a single E copy sitting just waiting for another copy. As soon as I get another Brutus I can slingshot him all the way to Mythic. :negative:

Yeah, good advice is absolutely to not be afraid to focus on heroes that can "only" get to legendary+ until you hit that 160+ wall, most factions will have one or two heroes at that tier who can carry pretty well while being relatively easy to get copies of:

Saveas is possibly one of the hardest carries up to 160, since a lot of the best ascended heroes don't get insane till 161+, I can hardly keep track of how many fights he's been the sole survivor of
Vedan is very strong for the Graveborn, one thing I've noticed is that putting him in the middle back row will let him hit both tanks at once with his first multi-thrust, which can be really powerful if he's your hardest carry, other than that his ultimate is really good
Arden's crowd control can clutch some fights super hard and his ultimate does a lot more damage than you might expect, he's also worth focusing on since his CC post 160 is strong enough to be viable in fights where no one can instantly nuke him
Hogan or Mirael are probably your best bet for lightbringers, though I don't have much experience with either

It's also not a loss to get non ascended tier characters to L+ since you'll need to feed them into your ascended tier characters to raise them to Mythic to push past 160 anyway. Saveas + Khasus is a great 1-160 combo because Khasus gives team life leech which helps Saveas a ton. I think Arden/Saveas/Khasus/whoever carried me really far until my Shemira came online.

My strategy currently is to just stockpile R+ fodder until I have a best fit path for L to M as my doubles come in. I'm pretty much not going to eat any acended heroes and just wait out the rare fodder upgrades. Likewise I'm sitting on two L+ Belinda's, I'm saving the latter for her M+. Putting my labrynth tokens into Nemora and Shemira.

Hogan, Arden, and Saveas are the only R's I've been upgrading, everyone else is food.





Currently rolling Hogan, Estrilda, Tasi, Belinda, Nemora. Though I have enough flexibility at this point to run a few different 3-2 combos or a 3-1-demon.

e; Going to get a ton of rolls tonight as the sigils give me another 10 pull, i'l be right on the verge of a 10 pull with diamonds, I have 57 legednary shards, and am about to have enough dust to get another 60 legendary shards from the barracks.

You have enough fodder to take Vedan to E+ to break the 100 wall for the rest of your heroes if need be, assuming you have the dust.

You don't gotta use him, he just has to be level 101. :v:

I don't have enough dust to do 3x 101, but if I hit that point and still don't have a better candidate I'll probably do that and just take a day off while the crystal resets.

Its a weird moment in the game when you have been riding Hogan to Leg+ all game, then feed him off get get someone to Mythic. Lvl 200 Hendrik is a beast though.
I do love the fact that the game gives you back all items and xp.

I've been much more aggressive in item upgrades since realizing they carry over, as well as the fact that they give you plenty of spare gold.

That's what the forum index is for. The thread is, like, 1/3 AA posts at this point; I think it might be time for a separate thread.

e: I'll admit I missed the second part of that somehow, but still, AFK Arena is consuming this thread and the index exists for a reason.

Frankly, it doesn't bother me.. Keeps the threat up on the forums at least. I just wish people were this enthusiastic about it when I was playing it months before everyone else and nobody seemed remotely interested.
