AFK Journey Season 2 Patch Breakdown: Tier List & Optimal Hero Comps
SEASON 2 META Season 2 shakes up the arena meta. Below is an overview of what changed and how to adapt your team, whether you are a spender or fully free-to-play.
Balance changes
- Frontline heroes received a flat durability bump.
- Burst damage dealers lost some early-game scaling.
- Support heroes now generate more energy per cast.
In practice this makes longer fights more common, which favours sustain and steady damage over all-in burst openings.
Recommended team compositions
| Role | Priority pick | Budget alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Tank | Brutus | Smokey |
| DPS | Lily May | Hewynn |
| Support | Rowan | Mikola |
Which heroes to wishlist
Focus your wishlist on one frontline and one damage dealer first. A solid core you can level fully is worth more than several half-built heroes.
