     AFK Journey tier list – best characters for launch

April 4, 2024: We've tweaked some aspects of the AFK Journey tier list to fix an issue with heroes like Walker, Salazer, and Cecia either being featured in the wrong role or absent entirely.

Who are the best AFK Journey characters? Paying close attention to the shifts in character meta and team-building tactics can keep you from wasting valuable pulls on units that just don't cut the cake. Resources are scarce the further you go into this adventure. By pouring them into sub-par units, you risk digging yourself a hole that could be difficult to escape.

Our growing list of AFK Journey codes goes hand-in-hand with the tier list below, potentially giving you enough premium currency to get the units most likely to make a difference to your team. And if you're just getting started, be sure to use the quickest AFK Journey reroll method to grab top-tier AFK Journey characters right from the start.

Roblox allows its players to create and monetise their own creations within its ecosystem. Across the entire breadth of Roblox game makers, a lot of money is made. At the individual level, however, the vast majority of creators making work within Roblox never earn enough to cash out their earnings - and some of those creators are children. This has long led to allegations that Roblox is exploiting child labour, generating value for Roblox Studio and its shareholders in the process.

"I don't know, you can say this for a lot of things, right?" said Roblox Studio head Stefano Corazza at GDC, when the allegation was put to him by Eurogamer.
