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
Eironn Nuke Team

This shield-based team combines the reliable Eironn-Ulmus combo with Arden, providing reliable damage, and with room for an extra damage dealer too thanks to the unique map layout.
- Ardenis our main win condition, 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.
- Lily May is out secondary win condition, providing anti-ultimate tech and high burst damage.
- Parisa can also work if we want to double dip on Eironn as the gameplan.
- Cyran also works really well (if available).
- Indris is another viable alternative.
- 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.
- Hugin provides shields to keep Arden going just long enough to get his ultimate out, as there should be no one left to kill him by that point.

Map 2
Talene Team (Celehypo Variant)

This team is tailored around the stage gimmick that drains character’s health, prioritizing summons, and effectively bypassing the stage effect, with Talene and Cyran as damage dealers.
- Cyran is one of the main victory conditions for this team, capable of denying the enemy artifact and quickly charging his ultimate to deliver a devastating blow. The Talent tile greatly enhances his damage potential.
- There is no one else with quite the same effect, but it is always possible to pivot this into a Tasi-Talene team by running Tasi here instead.
- Talene is our second victory condition, capable of regenerating after being defeated as long as another ally is still alive on the field, providing great synergy with Damian.
- It is possible to run a version of this team without Talene, though we would need another Celestial or Hypogean such as Harak to maintain the faction bonus.
- 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.
- Phraesto provides a sturdy frontline, and acts as damage sponge while also providing energy to The Twins.
- You can also run any other team, but it may require adapting the rest of the team to regain a faction tile.
- Elijah and Lailah act as buffers and healers, keepingPhraesto andTalene topped up, and speeding up their ultimates.
- Alternatively, Scarlita can be used for her shields in a pinch, though an additional support unit may be necessary for sustain.
Tasi-Talene Team (Wilders Variant)

Map 3
Shemira-Athalia Team

This team uses Thoran to hold the line while Shemira charges her ultimate. Shemira’s damage also heals Thoran, and Athalia gets buffed and protected by Daimon.
- Shemira is one of our win conditions, 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.
- Thoran protects Shemira and is in turn healed by her damage dealt.
- Alternatively, Callancan perform a similar role.
- Athalia is our secondary win condition, and helps kill off the enemy carry before they can do much damage
- Ludovic provides some initial healing, to help keep Shemira alive until she can get her ultimate out.
- Damian can perform a similar role.
- Daimon protects and buffs Athalia.
- Alternatively, Lily May can also be used in a more offensive configuration
Shemira Hypercarry (Full Graveborn)

This version of the team does away with the second tank and runs
