Tier S
- Cecia
- Hewynn
- Reinier
- Rowan
- Thoran
- Vala
These S-Tier characters stand out in AFK Journey's story mode due to their potent mix of team-wide support through healing, shielding, and energy generation, exceptional damage output that scales well throughout the game, survivability through self-sustain or defensive buffs, disruptive abilities that offer crowd control or enemy manipulation, and unique mechanics that enable powerful strategies against challenging foes.
Tier A
- Brutus
- Bryon
- Granny Dahnie
- Korin
- Lyca
- Odie
- Smokey & Meerky
- Valen
- Viperian
These Tier A characters offer a combination of powerful support abilities like buffs, debuffs, or heals, specialized strengths that excel in certain scenarios like boss fights or against specific enemy compositions, or consistent damage output and survivability that make them reliable throughout significant portions of the campaign.
Tier B

- Dionel
- Igor
- Koko
- Lucius
- Marilee
- Rhys
- Scarlita
- Shakir
- Silvina

- Carolina
- Cassadee
- Damian
- Eironn
- Fay
- Mirael
- Niru
