Introduction
In the AFK Journey Supreme Arena, many of the archetypes used in the non-season arena can be used here as well, but many opportunities are made available by season talents and artifacts. For attack teams, it is often necessary to tailor your teams based on what the other player is running, so below we will list some solid defense teams.
Check out our Arena Guide here!
Map 1
Athalia Hypercarry (Mauler Core)

This team uses maulers to keep the enemy occupied, while
- Athalia is our main win condition, dealing high burst damage, and often sniping the enemy carry before they can do much.
- Another alternative is Lenya, as she also has great damage potential, and can help contend with the center tiles more easily.
- Elijah and Lailah help provide energy and healing to the team, while also offering haste to help cycle through abilities.
- Lacking Elijah and Lailah we can runKoko as extra support.
- Brutus provides a meat shield and keeps enemies occupied to make sure shakir survives long enough to get his Ultimate out.
- Antandra can also work here.
- A more whale-oriented alternative is running Dunlingr and reorganizing the team around the C/H tile.
- Shakir acts as a second major threat, and helps keep up a frontline, as he won’t die on mauler tile if he gets his Ultimate out.
- Another option is Alsa for a more CC-based approach.
- Similarly, Soren can also work by knocking enemies into the center walls.
- Mikolaprovides some much needed healing, and helps support the melee team.
- To a certain extent, Gerda can also work here.
Cyran-Eironn Burst

This shield-based team combines the reliable
- Arden is one of our win conditions, synergizing greatly will all the CC present to get his Ultimate out fast.
- Carolina is another classic alternative.
- Lorsan can provide a surprising damage boost, thanks to all the AOE damage being thrown around, as well as some extra healing.
- Cyran is our second win condition, and provides another AOE CC Ultimate, while also denying enemy artifacts.
- Parisa can also work if we want to double dip on Eironn as the gameplan.
- Eironn helps get that initial CC on the enemy team, and there is nobody aside from Cyran who does what he does for this team.
- Though technically we can run another CC source, like Granny Dahnie, it will just be slower.
- Ulmus synergizes with Eironn and Cyran, extending their CC by rooting enemies.
- We can also ditch the melee side of the team entirely and just run Kulu. Works at 1 copy.
- Huginprovides shields to keep Cyran going just long enough to get his Ultimate out, as there should be no one left to kill him by that point.
Map 2
Tasi-Talene Team (Wilders Variant)

This team uses characters with strong staying power, capable of surviving against high damage teams and coming back for more.
- Tasi is one of the main victory conditions for this team, often capable of coming back after death to slay the enemy team all by herself.
- While Tasi is a key component of this team, lacking Tasi, it is possible to run a team tailored aroundTalene instead, in which caseLudovic orHewynn can be a great addition here, though the team will be lacking in offensive potential without Tasi.
- Talene is our second main victory condition, capable of regenerating after being defeated as long as another ally is still alive on the field, providing incredible synergy withTasiandDamian. The talent tile also greatly enhances Talene’s Ultimate and grants her extra stats.
- It is possible to run a version of this team without Talene, focusing instead on disruption. Temesia can be a great choice for this variant.
- Igor can be used as an alternative distraction to keep Tasi and Damian in the game.
- We can also just run extra healing, or another damage carry, though the team loses a lot of what makes it special without Talene.
- Damianis the only healer that can keep up with Talene and Tasi against burst teams, as he can just summon a new cart to quickly heal Talene and Tasi back up after the rest of the team is wiped by a powerful attack. Works at Mythic+.
- Lacking Damian, we can run any other healer here, though the team will be a lot weaker against burst damage, as Damian is the only one who can survive to provide backup healing for Talene and Tasi.
- Lily May provides some extra damage and also counters Eironn teams to a certain extent.
- Scarlita can help keep Tasi alive a little longer, while also providing an extra victory condition later in the fight as she crashes down. Has become slightly more usable with her new S+ Level 2 skill.
- Erralso works here as an extra threat.
- Harak is another whale-oriented option.
- Faramor acts as tank in this case, while also buffing Lily May.
- A higher end alternative, is running Phraesto instead, for some extra survivability and energy regen.
- For this map specifically, Berial can actually make great use of his summons to divert some damage
- Hodgkin can also work, if the enemy is running Harak as main carry, or another physical damage carry.
Overall, Tasi, Talene and Damian are the most important pieces, so when looking for substitutions, prioritize replacing The Twins and/or Granny.

Map 3
Shemira Hypercarry (Full Graveborn)

This team uses
- Shemira is our main win condition, with her teamwide damage and self-sustain.
- There is no one quite like Shemira, but Cryonaia can work too as a more whale-oriented alternative.
- Natsu Dragneel can work too, if he survives long enough.
- Daimon protects Shemira and offers her a significant damage buff.
- Alternatively, Callancan perform a similar role.
- Thoran also works, and gets some healing from Shemira.
- Bonnie is our secondary win condition, and helps keep up the pressure with magical damage.
- Odie can also work, as a way to provide more damage.
- Callan can also work as an alternative in this slot, as he will make Shemira very tanky and help get her Ultimate out.
- Ludovic provides some initial healing, to help keep Shemira alive until she can get her Ultimate out.
- Damian can perform a similar role.
- Niru acts as Lily May bait, so that she is less likely to cancel out Shemira, and provides an extra life to Bonnie.
- Bryon can also perform the same role.
Shemira Hypercarry (Kulu Variant)

This version of the team does away with the traditional tank and relies on
