AFK Journey: Complete Ascension Guide

April 18, 2024

To progress in AFK Journey, players need to use the best characters. But even the strongest heroes will lose battles if they are not upgraded enough. One way to do this is through Ascension, which can be quite confusing for new players. Therefore, in this guide, we will tell you about the Ascension feature in AFK Journey.

Ascension allows you to increase the tier of heroes, which affects their stats, and can even unlock new skills. But for this, you will need to farm a lot of Sigils.

There are two different ways for players to acquire the Starshard Spell in AFK Journey, and here is what they entail.

What Is Ascension in AFK Journey?

Ascension is a special feature in AFK Journey that is needed to upgrade heroes. It significantly affects their stats and unlocks new abilities on certain Tiers. However, unlike other upgrade methods, Ascension requires Hero Soul Sigils and Faction Acorns.

The latter are universal for all characters of one Faction. Therefore, we strongly recommend not to waste them in the early stages of the game. It’s better to wait until you get great characters that are worth investing resources into. It is also worth noting that many of them will be required for each of the heroes.

There are a total of 10 Ascension Tiers in AFK Journey, ranging from Elite to Supreme+. And having achieved the latter, your hero will reach almost the very pinnacle of power in the game. Here is how many resources you will need for each Ascending:

AFK Journey’s PvP, or Arena, Mode is the most challenging in the game. Here is everything you need to know.

Both of these resources are required for Ascension in AFK Journey. Fortunately, the game has many ways to farm them, although it takes quite a lot of time:

General Store – In the Store you can purchase Faction Acorns and Invitation Letters containing both resources. But this method should only be used if you have an unlimited supply of Diamonds.
Arena Store – By earning Arena Tokens, you can spend them in the Store on the Hero Soul Sigils you need. It is one of the best ways to get Sigils in AFK Journey.
Dream Store – Everything here is the same as in the Arena Store, except that you need Dream Fragments as currency.
Invitation Letter – By opening these Letters, you can receive both Hero Soul Sigils and Faction Acorns.
Nobel Path – Progress in this Battle Pass, and you will be able to receive the necessary resources as rewards.
Legend Trial – This is the best mode in which you can earn a lot of Faction Acorns.
