This AFK Journey tier list classifies all available heroes based on their utility in the current meta. There are over 40 characters you can get and use to clear the content and enjoy other game modes. Farlight regularly updates the title, introducing new content and heroes. The latest addition was an S-level Wilder class hero, Florabelle, on April 16, 2024.
Building a potent team is crucial; you need the best heroes for the job. However, some might face difficulties keeping up with the ever-changing meta and selecting five heroes for their team among such a vast roster.
That said, below is the complete AFK Journey tier list, which will help you build a potent team in May 2024.

Reinier and Thoran stand atop the AFK Journey tier list for May 2024
AFK Journey characters come in two rarities: A-level and S-level. They can be ascended to various tiers, from the lowest Elite, Elite+, Epic, Epic+, Legendary, Legendary, Mythic, Mythic+, Supreme, and Supreme+, to the highest Paragon.
Further, they belong to one of these factions: Maulers, Lightbearers, Wilders, Graveborn, Celestial, and Hypogean. They play an important role in team comp. Deploying more than two units from the same faction buffs the HP and Attack stats of the overall team.
Note that the units of the Celestial and Hypogean factions are considered from any faction while determining faction buffs. For instance, if you deploy two heroes from Celestial or Hypogean and three from Lightbearers, the faction buff equivalent to five characters will trigger.
AFK Journey characters have one of these roles: Mage, Marksman, Rogue, Support, Tank, and Warrior, which determines their play style. You can form a team of five characters, mix and match them for faction buffs, and engage in these game modes: Story, Dream Realm, and PvP.
Considering the above, this AFK Journey tier list divides all characters into SS, S, A, B, and C tiers with their respective roles. Like other RPG gachas’ tier lists, SS tier characters are great in any game mode, and those in the C tier are weaker in the current meta.
SS-tier
The most robust units in the current meta exist in the SS tier of this AFK Journey tier list. They overpower every other unit and can conveniently clear all content.
- Reinier: Support
- Thoran: Tank
- Odie: Marksman
- Koko: Support
- Smokey & Meerky: Support
S-tier
S-tier units are less potent than the SS-tier but offer more utility. They make up one of the most formidable units in the current meta, able to obliterate any enemies in early and mid-game content.
- Antandra: Tank
- Cecia: Marksman
- Bryon: Marksman
- Florabelle: Warrior
- Shakir: Rogue
- Seth: Rogue
- Rowan: Support
- Scarlita: Warrior (best in PvP game mode)
- Vala: Rogue
- Dionel: Marksman
- Korin: Rogue (best against Dream Realm bosses)
A-tier
The characters in A-tier are strong but have a few flaws that make them incompatible in certain situations. They excel at early games but fall short in mid and late-game content.
- Carolina: Mage (best in PvP)
- Damian: Support (best in PvP)
- Rhys: Marksman
- Brutus: Warrior
- Lyca: Marksman
- Viperian: Mage
- Parisa: Mage
- Igor: Rogue
- Granny Dahnie: Tank
- Hewynn: Support
- Marilee: Marksman (best against Dream Realm bosses)
- Temesia: Tank
B-tier
B-tier units in this AFK Journey tier list are listed as below average. They require plenty of investment to be a valuable asset to your team.
- Arden: Mage (best in PvP)
- Kafra: Warrior
- Satrana: Mage
- Mirael: Mage
- Cassadee: Mage (best against Dream Realm bosses)
- Eironn: Rogue (best in PvP)
- Lucius: Tank
- Niru: Support
- Berial: Rogue (best in PvP)
C-tier
Characters from the C tier are weakest in the current meta. It’s better to avoid investing in them after you’ve obtained SS, S, or A-tier units. Essentially, get the units ranking at higher tiers in this list and quickly dispose of them.
- Walker: Rogue
- Valen: Warrior
- Salazer: Rogue
- Lumont: Tank
- Kruger: Warrior (best against Dream Realm bosses)
- Fay: Support
- Atalanta: Marksman
- Silvina: Rogue
Note that the AFK Jouney tier list only provides a general idea of the current meta’s power. You can try out every unit and create a team you feel comfortable with for best results.
