A guide for the Soul Pact Seasonal System in AFK Journey.
Last updated: 17/September/2026
Soul Pact
Soul Pact is a new seasonal progression system introduced in Season 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.
