The main objective of AFK Arena is to collect heroes and assemble the ultimate team.
With more than 40 heroes in the game, it can be difficult to choose just 5 heroes to put on your battle.
This guide aims to inspire and help you in building your very own team.

General team building advice
When creating your team, there are a few things you should consider, but not let dictate which heroes you choose.
Firstly, the roles and positions your team needs.
Most teams use two tanks or tanky heroes in the frontline, and a mixture of support, crowd control, and damage-dealers on the backline.
Keeping faction advantages in mind is also a very good idea, learn more about them in our factions advantages guide.
Not all heroes in the game are viable late game, simply because of the maximum rarity feature built into the game.
Therefore, you should pick heroes of Ascended rarity, or if you really have to, Legendary+.
Check out the rarity (maximum rank) of each hero in this all heroes list.
Even though almost every hero of ascended rarity is useful on a team, there are some heroes that simply outperform all others in their role.
To get a better understanding of the individual potential of each hero, check out this AFK Arena tier list.
Notice, choosing 5 heroes from the highest tier might not get you the best team, as some heroes synergize better with specific heroes creating a more powerful team and faction advantages play a major part.
Team combinations by top players
The following is a series of team combinations by some of the best players in the game.
These can be used as inspiration and guidance when creating your own team.
You could even choose the same team combination as someone below if you find that team to your liking.
Notice, the reason players below have two teams assigned to them each is because certain tournaments require players to bring two teams.

With the release of a couple of new heroes, we’ve decided to update this section as of the first of July 2019.
The following is a bunch of examples of teams by winners of competitions on the biggest server in AFK Arena.
This particular competition requires you to bring 3 teams, hence why each example contains 3 teams.
