Master AFK Journey’s Factions with our comprehensive guide. Learn about bonuses, strengths, weaknesses, and optimize your team for victory!
Understanding how to leverage Factions effectively in AFK Journey can significantly influence your battle outcomes. With six playable Factions, each with distinct strengths and weaknesses, mastering their dynamics is crucial. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate through AFK Journey’s Factions.
All Factions in AFK Journey
| Faction | Description |
|---|---|
| Celestial | Offers a wildcard status, allowing transformation into the most represented Faction in your party, maximizing Faction bonuses. Features exclusive heroes available through the Stargaze Station. |
| Graveborn | Boasts powerful characters like Thoran and Cecia but lacks healers, making it challenging to field a full Graveborn team. Some heroes peak at Mythic+ levels, while others become less effective over time. |
| Hypogean | Alongside Celestial, ranks as one of the best Factions due to its unique trait, transforming into the most represented Faction in the party for Faction bonus purposes. Includes the game’s rarest heroes exclusively available through the Stargaze Station. |
| Lightbearer | Features top damage dealers like Korin and Marilee, excelling against Dream Realm bosses. However, some heroes become less effective in later stages of the game, making them inferior to other factions in longevity. |
| Mauler | Known for tankier characters and utility, with heroes like Antandra and Brutus forming a formidable frontline. Offers a varied and robust hero lineup, enabling effective use of a five-Mauler team composition in both PvE and PvP contexts. |
| Wilder | Considered the weakest faction due to limited damage output. Although it features excellent supports like Hewynn and Lyca, assembling a full-Wilders team or integrating them as main tanks or damage dealers in mixed teams is challenging. |
