Ascension

Guides

In AFK Journey the concept of fodder has been removed and the whole Ascension system has been simplified. Now, to ascend a character you either need to gather their dupes or faction-tied Acorns (which can be obtained from various shops or from pulling). The table below shows all the currently available tiers in the game and the requirements to reach them.

To upgrade your characters past Supreme+ you need to obtain 25 characters of that tier. Also, you no longer get skill upgrade or unlocks past this point. Instead, the base stats are increased (2.5-3% per Paragon level), but on top of that a new type of stats called Rivalry stats are added (they only are active in PVP modes, but really strong there).
