[@AFKJourneyKing]

This team is insane for progression! Thanks chat for showing me! Sub for more, and thanks for watching

[@mrfancyshmancy]

i often let afk stages run in the background, it ended after 25 stages (and like a 40k power difference)

[@CreativeMode-pk3uu]

Well that why we need brutus+atandra so brutus will take hit first with inmortality he gonna live bit longer then atandra for second angro after brutus die koko can make brutus bit more srvive if he can servive until koko ult cecia S+ dps smoke and rowen is good working togather but some time one of them is much more priority in certain situation sorry for my bad english❤

[@martinstevens7359]

Thanks so much for this, it helped my account progress much faster than would have been the case otherwise. Recently I have found switching out Koko for Damian and then switching his position with Cicia, has pushed me through walls this team wouldn't.

This is why you're one of my fave youtubers! Thanks for picking up AFKJ. I'm having a blast with it!

I could see the defeat in his eyes when he saw he had 3 tries left. Didn't know you had another channel man! Big thanks for this vid too, helped me push past what I thought was impossible at the time.

[@tonanMD]

Hey Mtash, just wanted to say thank you for this comp been stuck at 361 and after using this comp now at 388. Really helped me alot. Hope you make more content like this and keep on updating it ! Thank you again !!

[@playy001]

That’s great, helped me straight away

[@moondu]

i was stuck in the exact same level and it worked 😭 thank you so much!!!

[@ergoproxy5773]

tnx for explaining, watching the replays get me confused about the positioning tbh

[@JustSomeSongs]

If you change "auto battle settings" to "Optional per battle" you can tap the gear on Koko to set her to manual during battle. This will make sure Cecia casts her ultimate first, then you manually cast Koko's so that her buffs always apply to Mr. Carlyle as well, making him a beast. That feature allows you to toggle each character individually from manual to auto and back during battle.

[@carrobin691]

What a Breakthrough Bro!! Great Team!!

[@spike5086]

Gotta comment cause i just trieed it after watching this video and it work!!! THANK YOUUU

[@kyledailyndalton4623]

Since i watched this video a week back, this team has carried me in AFK stages. Even just normal enemies 25 levels above me. Hats off to you man 💪🏼😎

[@Purenthou_2.0]

I thought this would not work, but I tried it anyway and, like damn, it helps me push even further on my AFK stages. Thanks for showing us this team. Truly appreciated.

[@David-sn1cs]

OMG this build really worked WTF you got me past 495 great job bro 💪

[@Natenator77]

I've been using this for a couple of days now, kinda surprised I chanced into a 'meta' build. Enjoying the content bud~

[@Windsofambience]

thanks for the share, just cleared the floor i was "stuck" on

[@Beachedwhale_]

Antandra can take a beating. I've been using her since day one. Smokey and Rowan are also a great combo. I never thought about using Koko, too.

[@SweeeetLovex3]

will give this one a try!

[@HolicChan]

“If you’re crying saying Cecia do something!” Hes so real for that

[@swarleymanlagranbombilla9575]

This is exactly the team I'm running right now. Incredible stuff really.

[@xdrrrrrr_]

i have been using this comp for a while now, it's fun to find out it's the best lol

[@femmenic]

I just started a week ago and am struggling with team placements in all these comps. I’m figuring it out as I go but need to see if there are some guides on this

[@ItsDarkbyte]

I'm running Alsa, Smokey Dopey, Koko, Odie and Antandra especially in the front, that team carries me a lot trough the AFK Stages. - but great to see that other Composites work aswell 😙

[@Blackstarr80]

A little advice here, in case no one knew it before. When I see a healer or support hero on the battlefield, I disable the auto ultimate mechanism and once my heroes are ready I focus their attacks on the healers and I prioritize their defeat, that way, I can finally focus on attacking the rest without the constant frustration of seeing them heal.

[@Hiro.the.God.]

Dude I actually passed a fight I was dying forever to. THANKS!

[@LordServbot]

Thanks, King. Doing God's work over there.

[@masterofreality.o0o.535]

Very amusing and I tried it thinking at higher levels it would fail but it's working just fine on auto battle. Nice stuff. I have Antandra at mythic plus and Koko as mythic but saving for her as the next spend so hopefully can keep this running. OK 12 battles in and they fail. Never mind will have a couple more attempts but they were at a point I'd been stopped at earlier;~)

[@s.v.2443]

I use the same comp but with brutus and kruger instead of ant and the healer mauler + starshard spell. Currently at afk 950

[@Ashblossomm]

I came up with this exact team on my own since i was an afk arena player and used to come up with great teams there too you have to include a second tank sometimes mostly thoran replacing rowan or koko and sometimes u will have to include second dps instead of koko mostly odie but overall this team just runs through stages blindly

[@andreyievlev440]

man is actually going insane

[@erbunuz158]

The old mad crazy Mtashed is back!

[@TheScribe0]

The feeling when you have had Cicia in your wish list since day one but still only have 1 copy :)

[@SisterCasendra]

Not bad, even with very weak Koko, this immediately beat the level I was stuck on

[@Meowtownn]

I rerolled and my team comp was around lvl 40 and I’m currently pushing afk lvl 90 and this was an hour after rerolling lol. This squad is totally cracked

[@fatbolado]

What??? it actually works man. Thanks

[@ulisesvaliente5516]

I tried putting in vala in some cases when I’m stuck and she gets it through most times unless the deficit is huge

[@sazoku]

ive been doin this myself but a bit different and change it whenever i am fighting against Vala

[@mots625]

Florabelle can work quite well as long as you can get Koko Ult up Florabelle's three summons turn into tanks while Smokey keeps health up and Rowan keeping the Ults up.

[@Jiren4772]

nice one bro😆😆🤣🤣

[@Dem_Memes21]

I already knew that these units were strong together but I couldn’t figure out the formation

[@Fishclan]

Still waiting for my rowan on day 7. Using brutus/thorin as a substitute for now

[@janethariate1022]

I tried doing manual and on slow speed on this comp and most of my runs ends up in a win thanks to a proper placement of cecia summon in the back where it can take out all the damage dealers firsy

[@Safineya]

This is literally the team I FIGURED OUT MYSELF after starting the game today xD. It got me to 115 on the first day lmao. ps: It's nice of you to share this strategy with everyone else! Also love ur vids on AFK Journey keep it up!

[@Lenkholalmisao]

U are very funny and i enjoy it ur video too..

[@daansukano]

So i don't have cica mythic, but florabelle mythic, so i did the exchange and it worked! :O

[@Thorrgrimn]

'Its working... Its working!!!'

[@kxmode]

I tried this combo, but it didn't work for me. What worked for me was Brutus, Antandra, Smokey, Koko, and Florabelle with Awakening or Starshard (typically Starshard, but I switch to Awakening when the enemy gets more difficult). Here's why: all of them synergize. However, with Florabelle, she spawns three ads that get Koko's buffs and Smokey's heals; plus, Belle's ultimate causes one of her minions to smash the ground, dealing 300% damage (it's typically one of the enemy's backline targets like a healer). So essentially, I have are EIGHT heroes in the battle vs five. If Brutus and Antandra somehow die, there are so many adds, plus Koko and Smokey doing their thing, that I win the battle. If I wanted to get crazy, I could replace Koko with Cecia for NINE heroes in the battle. That's just Zerg-level numbers. 😁😁 There is a point where the enemy is stronger, so I'm hitting a wall. As I write this, my team level is ~115 versus the enemy's ~121.

[@ryangreen1739]

Damn I haven't gotten Koko or Smokey yet...What do I do instead?!

[@Nekoyou]

What artifact were you using?

[@Kringerel]

shishia is pretty good no cap

[@thedanath]

I believe Im on day 9 of playing and I was lucky enough to pull Smokey and Rowan. I too need more copies of Antandra just so she can survive a little better. But i seem to be doing fine since im on stage 328 with this exact team.

[@omidbruh5592]

You should link the twitch in the description

[@stary4332]

Then we leave Odin on mauler team ?

[@Gamingzone00829]

55 is hard for me after I changed my server. In old server it was easy but now it's hard I'm still stuck can't unlock new area 😢😢😢. But only silvana attack my support character's while others fight with my tank and archer 😢

5:10 was the highlight of this video man HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@muhammedazad7741]

Can smokey be substituted by anyone else if you don't have him? Like Hewyn maybe

[@Brddvd]

wow this is really good, but I changed Rowan to Thoran, and I put the tanks in the front line because they are tank. And I could not beat a lvl before and now +20 lvl higher without level up any character or do any upgrade :O

[@DILAX.999]

[@Ryuoinsomnia]

I tot this comp has brutus instead of rowen?

[@KenLinx]

I tried this team and its worse than Thoran, Smokey, Rowan, Vala, and Odie. I don't know if it's because the unit placement is wrong or if it's because different stages require different teams but it's kinda mid for me. Edit: Ok nevermind, it is a better team. It was just that one stage where my old team did better. I also replaced Cecia with Vala for the 3+2 bonus and because my Vala has more dupes.

[@Kimii_]

Is there any sub for Smokey? I currently subbed him for Lucius currently lol

[@Franceinzon]

this is my team, except I use Vala instead of Cecia, because AFK journey decided not to give my my guaranteed cecia on my 1st 10 draws, and customer support is not helping

[@KrayzieStiles]

Same i use Vala instead of Cecia and Temesia as the tank. Have the Enlightenment spell for Vala. Have her at S+ she ults after two auto attacks and pretty much one shots whoever she hits like 95% of the time.

[@Pandormu]

what artifact do you use?

[@beobalf]

Hahaha it’s been long since I laughed on something so hard that I almost fainted

[@RPGCaelvin]

That comp is awesome...if you have smokey xD

[@quickpawmaud]

I basically already used this exact team lol but I use Brutus instead. Sometimes you do still get countered and need to figure something else out. I am hard stuck at level 80 with no hero essence but cleared up to AFK 256 I think so far. Luckily I got Reiner and Vala to mess with and try to get a win on the fights where the sustain comp just does not work. I think fighting level 101 and above is nearly impossible for me right now without some specific weakness in the enemy comp i can exploit.

[@damaniherod6218]

Bro how are you lvl 80 I'm stuck at 330 at lvl 92

[@quickpawmaud]

@@damaniherod6218 hero essence is gating me. I finally got enough to get everyone to 81 but probably going to be a few days before can get past 90. You need like 1500+ to level up 1 hero once and most sources give you 30 or less. Main way to get it is just to wait for AFK chest.

I’m mad about “this is the best unit” shit cause I want to play my pretty boys and girls and they’re not meta ;((

[@halloichbinfly5562]

Take your time. You don’t have to play meta. For these idle games you need to keep at it. Most people are bottlenecked by the Essence anyway. If you keep active over weeks you can outclass whales that don’t play a lot

[@TheDestructodave520]

AFK idle games arent the games for that. These games are heavily meta dependent. There are plenty of other games out there where its not really that important what you play with or invest in, but thats not AFK Arena, or most idle games.

[@nilsonpires5047]

Mtashed! What do you mean sometimes you lose!! Se come tio you for te gains!!

[@xanxuszala8242]

I'm Koko hater , but after adding Koko like you recommended, I got to clear 13 more stage . Now Koko got my respect

[@Sambubdo]

this is *THE* team to beat right now

[@TomXander]

Kinda flawed idea. The team works on the basis of you having a Cecia at M+. Otherwise the team is not that great cos most people don't have her at M+ much less L+. Easiest way to progress for F2P to low spenders? 1. Click the scroll on the left of the battle button. See the teams in it and choose one that is similar to yours. 2. DO NOT Skip doing your overworld battles and town quests. CLEAR everything you can in the overworld, get the gear up to the maximum possible. And then progress, it will be a LOT easier and faster if you do this instead of trying to bruteforce through levels. 3. Teams? Antandra (if you don't have Thoran), Lucius, Rowan or Koko, Smokey/Hewyn, and one of your most ascended characters but if you don't have any, just go with Odi or Cecia. Formation, you have to use the targeting button to see who targets what and go accordingly. The synergy between Lucius and Antandra is really good. 4. The attack speed artifact works better is most cases but if you are dying, use the health regen or the iron artifact (whatever their names are lol).

Not enough to get me over 494 at 120x4, 110. :/. Everyone melts.

[@malificajones7674]

I'm a whale, so I've got very well developed units. But this is the team that's working for me: Bryon, Vala, Cecia, Thoran, Rowan (+ Confining Spell artifact) Basically you go all out right from the start. Bryon piles on the damage with his instant-summon hawk. Vala takes out a backline support in less than 5 seconds. I find it bizarre how everyone is sleeping on Bryon. His damage is absolutely bonkers. I've got a supreme+ Vala, and Bryon outdamages her almost every fight. Not only that, but he has a self-res, which comes with auto-heal, and his untargetable for 5s. I'm on the same AFK level (470) as mtashed... but with lvl 88 characters.
