AFK Arena Beginner’s Guide
Here, we will cover the basics of almost all features of AFK Arena to guide you on how to play this fantastic RPG game and improve your profile. In this AFK Arena Beginner’s Guide, we will guide you in the most basic way to understand well and enjoy the game as you start playing.
Playing AFK Arena
AFK Arena is pretty simple to play. This is an automated game in which your teams play themselves, and you don’t need any interaction to control your teams with the keyboard; that’s why the name corresponds to Away From Keyboard(AFK). Rewards are generated in the game; even if the app is turned off, you return later and receive the rewards.
Campaigns In AFK Arena
As you progress through the game, you get experience and rewards, including coins, gears, hero essences, hero experience, crystals, and many others. You are rewarded better as you make progress, complete campaigns and chapters. It’s better to collect rewards daily, or you may lose many resources. AFK rewards should be collected in 12 hours; otherwise, you won’t be able to collect rewards after 12 hours, and it can make your progress slow. The game rewards you when you complete a level that you have been struggling to beat.
Joining A Guild
When you join a guild, you are given access to guild bosses that reward currency. You can spend that currency in guild stores on gear. It’s not compulsory to join the guild from your own server; instead, you can join it from any server. Legendary and mythic items can also be stocked if your progress in the campaign is sufficiently high.
Heroes in AFK Arena
Following, I will share the factions of heroes in the AFK arena; it’s actually a grouping of heroes that can be strong or weak against one another. It means you can do 25% more damage to the other team if your faction is stronger than theirs.

Gears In AFK Arena
Players are rewarded with gears as they progress throughout the campaigns. They are rewarded with gears as they collect AFK rewards chest, complete quests and missions like Team Hunting.
Do not upgrade any gear past 3 stars if you don’t have Factional Mythic Gears, because it will require tons of gold. You may commonly need to change team formation, so it’s better to keep sets for each kind of gears. Always keep gears for your heroes and main team in Resonating Crystal.
Three different types of gears are found in the game, Strength based, Agility based, and Intelligence based.
Following pictures shows the list of gears that can be used by players:
