+ 3What are the best AFK Journey teams?
Early game
In AFK Journey, having the right team composition can make all the difference, especially in the early game. The team consisting of Thoran as the Tank, Rowan as the Healer, Brutus and Antandra as DPS, and Cecia as the Marksman is particularly strong for several reasons:
Thankfully, the following Heroes make an optimum early-game team, which you can tweak and experiment with as you go forward with the story.
- Tank: Thoran
- Healer: Rowan
- DPS 1: Brutus
- DPS 2: Antandra
- Marksman: Cecia
Here's how they synergize in the early game:
- Survivability and Sustain: Thoran and Rowan provide excellent survivability with their HP draining and healing abilities. Thoran's life drain and Rowan’s health potions keep the frontline robust and the team healthy.
- Damage and Crowd Control: Brutus and Antandra deliver high damage while controlling the enemy's movements. Brutus’s taunt and defense reduction make enemies vulnerable, while Antandra’s taunt and stunning shield attack disrupt enemy formations.
- Ranged Support and Control: Cecia and Mr. Carlyle add a layer of ranged damage and crowd control. Mr. Carlyle’s entangling ability immobilizes enemies, making them easy targets for the team’s high-damage attacks.
- Energy and Skill Usage: Rowan’s coin-throwing ability boosts the team’s energy, allowing frequent use of powerful skills, which is crucial for maintaining pressure on the enemy and quickly eliminating threats.

Party compositions for PVP are easy to work with and flexible about team changes. In Arena, you can use every Hero you have already unlocked. But you can even add the locked characters to your team in the Honor Duel PVP mode. This way, you can practice with a future team comp after unlocking the Hero.
One of the most efficient AFK Journey PVP Teams using this composition:
- Tank: Thoran
- Healer: Rowan
- DPS 1: Lyca
- DPS 2: Silvina
- Support Tank: Antandra
Thoran is a great Tank in PVP, as it can deal with ranged attacks. He can also drain enemies' lives and self-resurrect with 40% HP. Of course, the latter is only possible once in every battle. Thoran works great with Lyca, who can increase the attack speed of allies by 25 for six seconds.
For a barrage of blink and regular attacks, Silvina works her magic. She can mark and teleport directly to a target enemy. Her skill, Soul Reaper, can also reduce an enemy's energy by 200. These attacks and tanking skills sync well with Rowan's skills.
While Rowan's Quick Waltz deals attacks and absorbs the enemy's energy alongside Silvina, his Smart Stall heals allies for 40% of their max HP by 800% of Rowan's attack power. Not to forget, his skill, Fatal Greed, helps to restore 250 Energy for nearby allies.
Lastly, Antandra works great as a support tank. As her ultimate, she can activate her shields and taunt enemies towards her. The best part is that her shield can stun enemies, while her spear deals 400% damage to knock them down. She recovers 8% extra HP with every hit, making her an all-rounder support. She perfectly balances shielding allies and her damage, making her an ideal PVP Hero to try.

Now that you know which Heroes are OP for team compositions, it's time to bring in a team that you can use almost everywhere. The meta team comprises the best Heroes in AFK Journey, with powerful damage, shield, support, and healing tactics.
So, who does this team include? Let's find out.
- Tank: Thoran
- Healer: Smokey & Meerky
- DPS 1: Odie
- Marksman: Cecia
- Support: Rowan
Thoran's self-reviving and life-draining skills make him perfect for all team comps. We've swapped Antandra Odie as he is proven extremely versatile in PvP, PvE and Dream Realm, making him a great support tank. Although Odies seems underwhelming at first glance, his poison damage over time (DoT) and buildup accumulates rapidly, making him one of the deadliest DPS characters in the game.
On the other hand, Cecia's ultimate, Mr. Carlyle, adds NPC alley to your team, increasing your damage output. And for healing, you have Rowan and Smokey & Meerky for support and damage.
