Soul Pact

Soul Pact is a new seasonal progression system introduced in the Seasonal 5 of AFK Journey. This system replaces the Faction Talent system that was used in seasons 1-4.
In this system, you are able to summon special Phantimals that you can place on the battlefield as long as you meet the criteria to use them. Each faction has its own Phantimal and you need to deploy 3 characters from the faction to summon their Phantimal to fight by their side (and then you can place them where you want - just like a normal character).
Phantimals can be leveled as you progress through the AFK stages and as they get stronger, they will unlock new skills or make their other skills stronger.
Here's the list of Season 7 Phantimals:
- Aurelian - Phantimal from the Lightbearer faction.
- Summons a flower that continuously deals true damage to enemies while reducing the damage taken of allies. Additionally, he forms a contract with the rearmost ally, allowing Aurelian to steal ATK from enemies to buff both himself and the contracted ally. Grants the spirit-marked hero increased normal attack damage and allows them to receive healing from Aurelian based on his damage dealt. Great for AFK Stages.
- Blightshroom - Phantimal from the Wilder faction,
- Sprays and attaches parasitic spores to enemies, dealing continuous damage. If the host of parastic spores is defeated, it will automatically spread to another enemy. While hosting these spores, the host gets reduced Phys & Magic DEF and also have energy absorbed from them. Grants spirit-marked hero more damage against enemies under control effects.
- Orson - Phantimal from the Mauler faction,
- Grants himself Fury stacks in which it becomes frenzied, taking less damage and unaffected. If ever his health goes low enough, he uses a Fury stack to heal himself. Grants Spirit-marked hero reduced damage taken.
- Necrodrakon - Phantimal from the Graveborn faction,
- Necrodrakon heals itself whenever an enemy suffers 10% HP loss. Whenever an enemy's total HP loss exceeds 20% of their max HP they get reduced healing received that can stack up to 3 times. When the limit is reached, the enemy gets additional reduced healing received. Grants Spirit-marked hero increased Execution and Penetration.
- Midnight Hunter / Nocturne Judicato - Phantimal from the Celestial/Hypogean factions.
- Midnight Hunter switches between a defensive light form and an offensive dark form during battle, stacking up to five "Ancient Blessings" from kills, assists, or Ultimates to increase each form's stat buffs. Grants Spirit-marked hero increased ATK and Haste. Also when Midnight Hunter or the Spirit-marked hero deals damage, the other is healed based on damage dealt.
