AFK Arena Tier List 2021 [December]
AFK Arena Tier List 2021 [December]
Patch 1.79
Updated: December 28, 2021. Added Astar.
This is our AFK Arena tier list. We rate each hero based on their performance in all of the different types of content. This includes PvE, PvP and Bosses.
The ratings are entirely subjective. Theyre based on the personal opinion of experienced players that are well progressed at all levels of the game. If you think a hero is rated wrong for something, let us know [with proof] and well gladly change it!
Wondering about which artifacts to use? Read our AFK Arena Artifact Tier List & Priority guide.
And as with any tier list, take it with a pinch of salt. Dont treat it like the bible of the game. You can progress with most of the heroes eventually because the level of your heroes is far more important in most cases.
Also, keep in mind that the unique thing about AFK Arena is that you can reset the EXP of heroes at any point and level another one. Dont be afraid to try out different heroes and team comps to progress through the game.
Youre not really that invested into any hero until you start consuming other heroes to ascend it.
Things can also get a little more complex once you factor in the bonus for having the same faction heroes in one team. Generally having at least one of the buffs active is recommended.
Categories

AFK Arena Tier List
Hero tier list for endgame content. It assumes that heroes are Level 500+. 5* Ascended, Mythic+ Gear, +30 SI & 9 Mythic Furniture.
While the list is endgame focused, its generally best used to gauge the overall power and longevity of heroes in the game.
However, some heroes are still very useful early on e.g. Shemira. She just drops off in power towards the later stages of the game.
