  • Healers – Units with healing abilities
  • Crowd Control – Heroes with the ability to manipulate enemy skill / movement. For instance; daze, silence, turn one’s attack on oneself, etc.
  • Buffer – These units are able to apply positive effects on allies (the squad member)

⇒ AFK Arena Guide – Team Combination⇓

AFK ArenaBuilding a balanced team in a game like AFK Arena is really important as it can change the outcome of a battle. Even if you have the most powerful AFK Arena heroes, you should focus on team combination and character position. These little things matter a lot. As you know, you can field a team of five heroes in the battle; the two heroes on the front line and the three heroes on the back. The battlefield looks like this: –

⇒ Now, the first two frontline heroes should have a tank role; the units with the best HP / Defense and Defensive / Shield skills. These guys are the first to get the attack. The protection shield, high HP, defense and agility stats increase survival. And both of these units give a shield to the backline characters.

⇒ In the backline, where you can field three heroes; you should go with a healer or two DPS. You can also try the buffer and DPS combination. But the healer is a must. The boys on the front line protect the heroes from the rear. And the heroes of the rear do their job; deal damage to enemies, heal front row units, potential (depends on team combination).

This is the ideal team combination in the AFK Arena game. You can experience the combination of heroes and their positions if you get stuck on a stage.

⇒ Let the battle begin!

AFK ArenaFrom campaign battles, you can earn Player EXP (to increase player level), Hero EXP (to increase hero level
), and gold coins. In battle, selected squad members automatically attack enemies. And, as mentioned before, you have control over their abilities.
