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
Sonja Hypercarry

This team takes advantage of the favourable tiles to push Sonja and Lucca to their maximum potential, with plenty of healing for stall purposes.
- Sonja is our main win condition, dealing great damage while continuously enhancing our team.
- Hewynn is used due to the massive haste inherent to this team making her powerful ultimate less clunky to use.
- Another option here isKoko.
- Sinbad provides some great debuffs as well as damage.
- We can also just run another damage carry here
- Rowan is used to further speed up the team's ultimate cycling.
- Another option is bringing another support with more immediate healing to complement Hewynn.
- Lucius is used here as he can take advantage of Rowan’s energy regen
- Alternatively, Lucca can also work here if you got him at higher dupes than Lucius.
- You can also bring any other tank as long as they can survive long enough to at least stall out the enemy team.
Athalia Celestial Team

This team is based around Athalia, taking advantage of the hidden tiles to keep Dunlingr hidden and possibly cause the enemy to bring ultimate-reliant heroes.
- Athalia is our main win condition, dealing high burst damage while not being overly reliant on ultimates.
- Dionel also works here with Dunlingr.
- Dunlingr helps nerf the enemy team while not impacting our team too much.
- This slot is not easily replaceable due to his unique effect, but you can run another tank in a pinch.
- Scarlita provides shields while also acting as an additional win condition for the team.
- She can be easily replaced by any other celestial/hypogean if you have them at higher investment.
- Ludovic provides some initial healing to help protect dunlingr from dying early while also not relying much on his ult.
- Damian also works here if you are not using him on another team.
- Mikola provides buffs and also some healing, also not overly ultimate reliant.
- In the wilders version, Koko can also work here if her ultimate lines up with Dunlingr’s downtime.
Map 2
Tasi Talene Team (Wilder Variant)

This team relies on Tasi and Talene, along with Damian to make for a hard-to-kill comp that allows Tasi to solo the enemy team.
- 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 keepTasiandDamian 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 withoutTalene.
- 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.
- For the lightbearer core, Hugin can work great here, but for Talene, healing is generally better.
- Granny Dahnie is used due to the asymmetrical map, and for the faction bonus.
- Alternatively, we can use a different faction tank and build the team around a different faction tile.
- Cyran is very powerful as he can deny the enemy team their artifact, while also bringing powerful CC.
- We can also run an additional healer for more staying power.
Overall, Tasi and Talene are the most important pieces, so when looking for substitutions, prioritize replacing the other characters in this team.
Tasi Talene Team (Lightbearer Variant)

This is another possible variant, using lightbearer faction tiles instead.
Map 3
Wilder Burst Team (Twins Variant)

This team is relatively accessible thanks to not necessarily requiring Celestial/Hypogean heroes, while also being very powerful against many matchups. We can make use of the hidden tiles to counter Lily May using Niru, or make it so that the enemy does not bring Lily May at a glance.
- Eironn is used to group up and debuff enemies and is the core of this archetype.
- Of course, we can always run other sources of CC for our frontline, such as Granny Dahnie,Lumont, orLucca, but they will lack the explosive potential of the main Eironn variant.
- 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 also useUlmus to lean more into the CC aspect, at the cost of sustain.
- Arden is the preferred damage carry for this team, and his dupes are readily available
- Carolina can be used instead of Arden, or along with Arden as long as we drop one of our supports for more damage.
- Parisa is just as powerful as a burst damage damage carry, lacking either of the others
- Lily May is always a good choice in most teams, including this one, offering damage and disruption in her ultimate denial.
- Another good option is running Lorsan. Lorsan takes advantage of the burst damage archetype to double up on Arden’s damage while also providing a powerful burst of healing. The Wilder talent tile makes it so that Lorsan can usually survive long enough to trigger his healing burst, though depending on the matchup he can still die as he is quite squishy.
- Damian can be used for more sustain, as he provides some initial healing that helps keep the backline alive at the start of battle, while also providing Haste and blinding enemies.
- Scarlita can provide some shields allowing the team to survive the initial few seconds, while also providing some explosive potential to close out games
- Carolina complementsArden, adding more burst damage to the team
- Alternatively, we can opt for an alternate damage carry, such as Bonnie, providing long lasting AOE damage
- We run Bryon here as a counter to Lily May, allowing Eironn’s ultimate to go through, and also providing some true damage conversion through his buff tile.
- If the enemy does not haveLily May, another good option to bring isLorsan.
- We can also run Hewynn to provide some staying power, as well as supporting our frontline, though running the risk of the enemy countering our Eironn.
- Ludovic can also help provide some more immediate healing.
- We can also run a more offensive alternative relying on more damage carries.
- Celestials/Hypogeans such as Scarlita,Berial orHarak can be useful as an additional threat with more staying power.Reinier can be used to disrupt the enemy formation.
Wilder Burst Team (Ulmus Variant)

This version replaces The Twins with Ulmus, adding more CC to the team.
