AFK Journey Reroll guide

That's the most important question as normally in idle games, rerolling isn't worth because those types of games heavily rely on dupes, and AFK Journey isn't an exception unless you want to heavily min-max who you will start with. Here's why:

• The first 2 pities you reach on the normal banner are 'fixed' when it comes to the
  
  S-Level characters you can obtain:
• The first pity (10 pulls) guarantees you probably the strongest story damage dealer in the game
  
  Cecia who also can be used with success in other modes, but she will drop off there in late game (due to being too slow),
• The second pity (20 pulls) guarantees you one of the 3 strongest Healers / Supports (equal chance to get each of them):
  
  Rowan
  
  Hewynn
  
  Smokey & Meerky
• The 'fixed' pulls were with us for the whole duration of PTR and Beta Voyage and we're assuming they will be carried over to the official release. If anything changes, we will update the guide.

Still, this doesn't mean that rerolling isn't at all worth it and those who want to min-max their start might want to consider doing it anyway. Here's why:

• A single copy of a great
  
  S-Level can easily carry you for the first week or two, making the progression through the early game much easier and less frustrating,
• Some characters can even function on a single copy all the way to the endgame - mainly supports and some tanks,
• Also, the Ascension system has been simplified compared to other games in the genre and you need less dupes to raise a character to final tier. And no, this doesn't mean the characters are harder to obtain, as the pity system is pretty great and you also can buy dupes of characters in various shops,
• While the fixed pity gives you a great DPS and Support / Healer, you're still lacking a tank - and we all know that if the frontline dies, the whole team dies. While the game will give you
  
  Lucius for free, he falls off pretty quickly when it comes to the main tank role and instead becomes off-tank / shield bot,
• When it comes to
  
  S-Level tanks,
  
  Thoran and
  
  Granny Dahnie are considered the best tanks in the game and they will make your early progression smoother.
• On top of the guaranteed pity characters, you might get random
  
  S-Level characters before reaching the second pity and what's best the pity counter won't reset if this happens (yes, it was a big surprise to us too when it happened to use as we tested the system). Though, once you reach the second pity, the pity system goes back to 'normal' and if you obtain an S-level character earlier, the pity will reset,
• Rerolling takes only roughly 10 minutes.

Still, it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

Rerolling on your phone is limited to 'server-hopping' (this means that you won't be able to play on the latest server to start on an even ground) or 'email-hopping'. And on top of that, while the game has a PC client and you can create a Guest account there, you have to uninstall the game and remove all traces of the game to be able to create a new guest account. This leaves you with emulators that actually make the whole process much easier and faster, but more about it later.

The first thing you will need to prepare if you plan to reroll is your phone/PC or an emulator. Below you can find a comparison of each method.

You can install BlueStacks from our link and support the website!

And here's a detailed instruction for the emulator reroll:

TL;DR

After launching the game and creating your character, you will have to go through the tutorial and roughly 5 minutes in, you will unlock the Summoning feature to do your first 10-pull. After playing for 5 more minutes, you should be able to gain enough

Invite Letter and Diamonds to do 20 more pulls, which will guarantee yourself 2x S-Level characters.

Detailed reroll process

Step 1. Launch the game. When the download prompt appears, choose the minimum setting (it will download roughly 200 MB) and then skip the animation by touching the screen for 2 seconds. After skipping the conversation, the game will ask you to select your main character (male or female), then customize it.

Names are unique - so if you clear the cache/reroll on the same server, you won't be able to create a character with the same name. So use some dummy names and change to your desired name once you're done rolling.

Step 2. Go to Settings (press the bottom right corner Menu icon then the Cog icon). There head to Battle tab and in the Play Ultimate Animation section, select the Never option. This will save you some time during the reroll.

Step 3. Play the tutorial till the battle with the Twister at which point you will unlock the Noble Tavern and the game will force you to do a single pull tiwce. While the first one is fixed and you will always get

Fay the second pull will give you a random A-Level damage dealer character.

Step 4. Get 10

Invite Letter from the Journey gift and do a 10-pull on the All-Hero Recruitment Banner (Epic Recruitment banner requires Epic Invite Letter). This will give you

Cecia as the first pity is set to 10 and is fixed. The pity will increase to 20 after that, but since you've done two single-pulls before, you will start at 18 instead.

To access the Journey's Gift, press the 'gift' icon in the bottom right corner of the screen and you will obtain 10x

Invite Letters as the day 1 login rewards.

Sadly, the Wishlist for the All-Hero banner unlocks after doing 30 pulls on it, so you can't really use during the tutorial.

Step 5. Before we continue, level your characters to level 10 in the Resonating Hall. Focus on

Cecia as she will be your carry moving forward! Also, if you gather enough Essence to ascend a character past level 10, again focus on Cecia first.

Step 6. Continue with the main story. After roughly 2-3 minutes, you will get a prompt that you've unlocked the Growth Path. The Growth Path system is a progression tracker that rewards you for completing various missions that will help you understand the game and show you what you should do next. The Stage 1 of the Growth Path will auto-complete and among other things you will obtain:

• 2x
  
  Invite Letter
• 1x
  
  Epic Invite Letter
• 300x
  
  Diamonds
• 60x Soulstone (A-level) - use them to obtain a random A-level character.

Step 7. Continue with the main story. After roughly 5 minutes, you will reach Holistone, the first major city hub in the game. Talk with Hogan there to finish his quest and at this point you will also unlock the Mail feature where you will find the pre-register rewards:

• 10x
  
  Invite Letters
• 1000x
  
  Diamonds
• 
  Lyca
• 1x Main character skin

Step 8. Use any active codes! You can find them here:

Step 9. Time to pull! You should have enough resources to reach the next pity (20) milestone on the All-Recruitment banner:

• 14x
  
  Invite Letter
• 10 from Pre-registration rewards,
• 2 from Growth Path Stage 1 completion,
• 2 from two Elite Chests you will find on your way to Holistone.
• 4x
  
  Epic Invite Letter
• 3000+
  
  Diamonds

After doing the 20 pulls, you will get your second

S-Level character. It will be either:

• 
  Rowan
• 
  Smokey & Meerky
• 
  Hewynn

All three of them are great Supports / Healers!

Honestly, since you're already starting with

Cecia and a great support, the only role that you could aim for in the reroll is a tank or another support (the one you didn't obtain from the second pity).

When it comes to tanks, the best one is

Thoran who is considered the pinnacle of tanking in AFK Journey. Not only he can cheat death once, but also can also deal a lot of damage - sometimes even one shooting the enemy tank. He becomes even stronger with his EX weapon as he can form a pact with an ally, taking damage instead of him and in exchange getting healed when the ally deals damage.

And on top of that, together with

Cecia he forms the Graveborn core meta team that is considered the strongest from early to late game when it comes to progression. Please keep in mind that Celestial and Hypogean characters can only be pulled from the Stargaze or bought from the Guild Store. You can't pull them from any other banner, so don't bother rerolling for them.
