Factions, the faction bonus, Phantimals and stats

AFK Journey battle mechanics

Four factions beat each other in a ring, each dealing +15% damage to the one it is strong against and -15% to the one it is weak against. Celestial, Hypogean and Dimensional heroes sit outside the ring. Three or more heroes of one faction switch on the faction bonus, and in Supreme Arena the biggest faction also brings its Phantimal.

  • Its Spirit Mark tiles are the Phantimal's tile plus each cube offset, skipping any that fall outside the battle area. The mark goes to the first hero found on those tiles, in offset order.
  • While a Phantimal is active, the team gets +2% HP and +2% ATK for each Dimensional hero deployed.
