The Best Heroes in AFK Arena Tier List - V146 (with Raoul & Melion) August 2024 - AllClash (2025)

Basically great in all modes. Damage dealer, healer, energy buffer..

One of the best buffers in the game and works great in pretty much all game modes.

Best supporter in the game in my opinion and buffs all damage and can work everywhere great.

Quite versatile in many modes and one of the better Awakened heroes in AFK Arena..

Is a great hero but weak until you get him to E60.

New buffer for damage and energy and protection debuffer and energy for enemies and has a lot of potential overall.

Energy and and damage buffer for your main carry so flexibly scales with whatever heroes work good in all stages.

More geared towards PvP and some other end-game modes and not the highest Awakened hero to have on the list for most players.

Works everywhere with great healing, buffing and DD..

Although quite new he is a good buffer and great against all kinds of bosses and has potential in PvP and will not be a huge mistake to start collecting..

Greates damage dealer in AFK Arena among the normal heroes and useful everswhere.

Great support for all bosses and useful in energy cycle teams with Rowan and Ezizh but that requires some investment.

Only real strong in Cursed Realm and Treasure Hunt and the way she was introduced and shadow nerfed is just weird. At the end of the day most players will have enough other Awakened heroes on their list before even thinking about her - so, yes, her ranking is good but she is an absolute endgame hero and unless you have a couple of Awakened heroes built you don't have to consider her.

Simply amazing and long-term favorite here in the list and useful in campaign and also against bosses.

Great damage buffer and healer and negates one enemy. .

With a word of caution that there might be some smaller adjustments to her ranking she is an amazing tank, buffer and debuffer and amazing in campaign and PM.

Amazing support and great for pretty much all bosses..

Practically unkillable tank and great team tank and buffer but more a hero you build for modes like Hunt and PM and endgame and not neccesarrily a hero you build to carry in early stages of the game. Please check the Awakened priority guide!.

Looks really promising all-around with attack, defense, debuff, control and heal. Bad news, you really have to invest to make the SI +30 work with E60....

.

Great support that scales your main damage dealer and amazing energy buffer..

Works great in all modes and is worth the invest.

Lower Tower and espcially important in campaign in late gameas you can connect 2 enemies that is often a lifesaver.

Buffer, debuffer and resurrects multiple times. A little weaker than Liberta but still really strong overall and useful for all game modes..

Great healer and buffer and enabler for many meta heroes.

Great in all game modes if you can invest enough to keep her alive.

Good control and buffer and useful for campaign tower and much more.

Good damage and energy buffer with some damage dealing as well..

Please take this rating with a grain of salt for now as I find the benefits of him at this point not obvious but with the experience we have with new heroes I can see him turning into a meta hero in a couple months with other heroes and shifts. It's a risky investment right now though.

Buffs the main damage dealer excellently.

Great healer and useful in many modes.

Damage buffer and Defense debuffer and strong n Tower.

Great buffer and holds the buff through the full battle and is usefull almost everywhere.

Incredible support hero. Buffs damage and survivability and debuffs and has control in her kit and with her unique mechanics to cancel first ultimates of all enemies, she is simply so worth having..

Energy and attack debuffer and buffs damage. Can also deal solid damage through Erosion when fully upgraded and debuff energy. Most powerful when she can destroy enemy shields..

Will become more increasingly important in PM, campaign and Rift with strong debuffing and control in his kit..

Amazing, great everywhere and should be your priority of all Awakened heroes in AFK Arena..

Great buffer, debuffer and damage dealer and with his falt ultimate has great chances to become meta. Debuffs also energy which helps a ton and buffs your team a lot.

Strong for Treasure Hunt and in Tower and viable in a lot of sitautions as well..

Damage buffer and energy buffer for bosses.

Heavy invest needed for the control and debuff kit to work. Really more a very end-game enhancement hero.

Nice damage dealer and similar to Eorin or Crassio with very nice cc, buffs and explosive damage and for sure one of the stronger Dragonic heroes of the ones released now.

Damage buffer and debuffer but mainly useful in Abyss late game with a high Engraving..

Used to be THE meta hero when the game was in the first year or two, but now only niche useful.

Great tank with shielding for allies and against enemies that use a lot of shielding. Has constant use in Hunting and other late-game modes but you need a heavy Engraving invest at this point..

Universal support and damage-buffer but requires quite some invest..

Crazy in campaign in late game and amazing in pretty much all modes.

Great energy buffer and can even work in the frontine and useful throughout many stages.

Mainly for PvP top prio but otherwise go with the other Awakened heroes..

Great beginner hero along Astar and Scarlet that will carry you far, but towards end-game misses the punch to remain that great..

Great for huntin and campaign and also other modes with damage, control and some support and the invest for that is actually alright compared to other heroes..

Great damage and control if you don't have Awakened Baden but requires Mortas for for Nightmare Corridor and sometimes useful in campaign..

Great buffer and tank and great campaign carry.

Great damage dealer and control and energy debuffer and is usefull at all stages of the game and in most modes, espcially useful in campaign.

Good buffer and great in PvE content to burst, espcially bosses.

Good damage and survivability and buffs damage and one of the top heroes in Faction Tower.

Can block enemy abilities and buffs energy restoration. Useful in pretty much all modes in end-game nowadays.

Nice energy control for what she is but only more useful in endgame modes.

Stargazer prio #1, still, as so important for campaign and carry after mid into late game. Sacrifice her allies and then wipe out the enemy team..

Her control is important in late campaign and tower.

DAmage dealer, controls and debuffs attack but outside Treasure Hunt not really a hero that needs much attention for most players. The raw kit can work with an elite copy but if you really want to use him the invest is a lot higher (Hunt).

Great tank to use invulnerability along one ally in the frontline. Iportant for campaign but that's about it for late game.

Good for some bosses and can tank by pulling off enemies and reduce their protection.

Control prolongue over enemies that even works after his death make him very useful in campaign with Leonardo or Mehira.

Great speed and energy support and is useful in various modes in late game to scale your main damage dealer.

Has several setups where he works good but not as universal as many believe..

Great control and debuffer but needs certain teams to work well enough..

Good damage but lacks survivability so keeping her alive will be a chore.

Buffer and damage dealer and potentially important for certain end-game modes but not at this point..

So far the weakest Awakened hero in AFK Arena and I can't recommend him at all..

Great in many modes and can bring a ton of damage to the ultimate.

Good damage dealer, espcially in campaign and tower.

Good survival and tank but at the end most of the times only relevant for tower.

Dragonic damage buffer withoout much use except running in a Dragonic team (except you get the SI+40).

Not too special anywhere but useful at occasions in end-game with control, buffing and tanking as well. Against bosses sometimes wonky as fly into bosses but most of the time works alright. Still, no hero to go crazy about.

Great early-game hero but later only potential in hunting and some in Faction Tower..

Damage and energy buffer and is required in some really end-game setups and situations, but not an overall investment for every player..

Useful in campaign to restart a setup and get a lead..

Great for Treasure Hunt and Dragonforge, nothing else. Collect with the release event for the copies but maybe wait a little before pumping the resources to build him.

I ranked him a little conservatively as I want to make sure I don't point him out to build and then he is not that great. Overall a nice control debuffer tank that has a lot of survivability if you built him but needs quite some invest for that. I think he is worth it if you think about it but not a hero I would put on top of every priorty list for any player.

Not as great as the other Awakened heroes.

His immortal ability can be used in campaign quite late to overcome burst and pair with Lucretia.

Damage and protection buffer and can be used in a lot of modes.

Great start pull hero with Skriath and carry through campaign with Lucretia but loses it's cause later in the game.

Control and damage buffer and useful for all kinds of bosses.

Used to cheese like a god but outside of some campaign uses in mid-gae, he lost relevance.

Insane hero in early game with a ton of damage if you get her 9/9 furniture but that will end towards mid-game.

Solid healer with some control.

Good debuffer and slows down enemies energy restoration and can be situationally useful in campaign and tower until the 30s.

Has some uses in Hunting but overall quite niche.

Useful in campaign with Lucretia after his death.

Required for pushing campaign and can do everlasting contro along Khazard.

Good distraction and hopefull survives burst and can ctonrol - not too reliable in most cases and rather a niche sitaution solver..

Can be used in campaign to keep your team alive and also useful in Faction Tower.

Can work in campaign really well in vertain setups.

Burst-Pack center in PvP .

Top pairing with Ainz for carry until mid-late game. More viable long-term as her E60 engraving will make her useful in Abyss and Hunting.

Can be useful for bosses, especially earlier in the game.

Can move Torne closer to enemies in campaign but not a hero to invest in heavily.

Reduces protection on bosses so sometimes useful but not overall.

Primarily PvP with a lot of invest needed to make her work - outside PvP, only in niche use-cases relevant..

Great in tower and as middle tank but overall not really a shining hero..

Average damage dealer and more an early-mid-game carry situationally.

Great for campaign and hunt.

Lost relevante over the years and is only really useful in Tower nowadays.

Audrae deals crazy amounts of damage but she is slow and rarely finds great uses outside pvP in end-game. Can be used in Tower but the invest is insane..

Actually good early game nuker and boss damage dealer and mid-game Ainz buffer.

For Abyss relevant but you can go without him unless you're whaling there..

Useful in hunting and campaign but that's about it.

Great for campaign with shield and block control for the whole team.

Only useful in Faction Tower if you need multiple teams to fill them.

Can distract enemy targeting with totems but overall not a hero to have on top of your list..

Can work in early campaign with Lucretia.

There are many layers to this hero but long story short, I hardly believe Nyla will be meta relevant. Can control and deal damage and the kit works similar to Astar with the invulnerable state and continous damage. I just don't see anything working to well here and also looking at the invest... I won't recommend too much..

Ainz Ooal Gown is basically the godfather of all carry heroes with his stuns and percentage damage and the further you get in AFK Arena, the more important it gets to have him. Use him in early and mid-game but he becomes less relevant in end-game so don't be too surprised if you see him fall off at some point towards end-game..

Some uses in campaign and Tower but that's about it with him..

Sometimes useful in Faction Tower.

Can be useful in Faction Tower but everywhere else can be replaced.

Usefull energy buff here and there and useful in the Tower, but other than that not a hero you should care about too much..

Useful in campaign and tower until a certain point..

Importan for some late-end-game modes.

Support-tank and claims to be universal but often is somewhat lackluster.

Useful in Tower.

Actually primarily a Faction Tower here. She can work as a replacement for some heroes in some modes but hasn't have her own spot there.

Good damage dealer in Treasure Hunt but that's about ot.

Mainly useful in tower.

Just really doesn't do it too well with her continuous damage and simply use her as buffer later, well, there's many other heroes who do that better..

For multi-stage teams in tower useful but nothing else. Maybe early-game carry with Arthur but there are easier and better options..

Rare PvP hero for whales but average players won't find many uses for her..

Can be useful in Forest Tower .

She can fill a gap in Faction Tower but that's about it for her..

Useful in Tower.

Mostly a PvP hero.

Mostly useful in Faction Tower.

Useful in Tower.

Only real use-case is in Tower later in the game.

Useful tank in mid-game but rarely finds good use-cases in late game..

Faction Tower, yes, anywhere else, no..

Can be useful against certain setups but is not that meta relevant..

Mainly useful in PvP and situationally in Tower.

Early campaign carry to shield your main carry but that's about it..

Sometimes useful in Faction Tower.

.

Sometimes useful in tower.

.

Has been pretty much replaced everywhere he was good, not a good hero anymore, at all..

Sometimes useful in Faction Tower.

Not really that useful and can be replaced pretty much everywhere.

Has been replaced by newer heroes and is not useful and shouldn't be invested in..

I mean to be honest he is really not good, and that is even a very nice way to say it. Nothing is there so really do yourself a favor and keep your hands off him.

Sometimes useful in Tower.

Useful in Faction Tower with 3 teams but nowhere else really useful.

Only useful in multi-stage setups in Faction Tower.

.

Can be used to distract enemies in Tower sometimes.

Has literally no mode he is viable in after the early game.

Not really useful anywhere.

Not a single use-case in the entire game.

There is only one case you need her to remove the shields and kill Eluard in Campaign Chapter 46, that's it.

Not useful anywhere.

Not useful anywhere.

Not useful anywhere.

Amazing early-game carry but not useful anywhere later. I recommend building her and then use an Exchange Chest to swap her for a better hero.

Not useful at all anywhere.

Not really relevant for normal players.

Not useful anywhere.

.

So bad it hurts.

Not really useful.
