and then 
Once your heroes reach Mythic Tier in the ascension you will be able to unlock and level up their Signature Item. Their Signature item is an individual boost item only available for that hero and can, for some heroes, really boost their effectiveness.
The problem is you will need a good amount of emblems to level them up and they are quite rare in AFK Arena – that’s the reason why I wanted to write this guide here to give you some sort of recommendation which heroes you should invest your emblems in first.
All Signature Items Ranked List
Before we start, though, please also check out my list of active gift codes here – I update it frequently and there’s normally always at least one code active that will give you some nice rewards.
Important Info!
So you will find in the first row how important that hero is when looking at it from the perspective of end-game (and with no Signature Items refund you need to look from the end-game perspective) and how much the Signature Item will contribute to the hero strength.
Why are all heroes ranked for end-game?
There’s no way to get any emblems back that you invested in a hero. Investing in a Signature item for a hero (popular example is Shemira) that will become obsolete later in the game is wasted and you will regret it later, especially with how rare faction emblems are.
How are the heroes ranked?
The heroes are ranked by priority tier (S+ to D where S+ is the highest priority you should invest in). Inside a priority tier the heroes are also ranked. This means, a hero on top of the A tier should be invested before a hero that is lower in the A tier. Main ranking factor is how important a hero will get later in the game (see here). and also how much the Signature Item will boost the hero.
How should I use the list, I can’t get all Signature Items!
Yes, that’s the reason for this priority list. You can get a priority what heroes to work on. Let’s say you have Rown not +30, yet but some more purple and yellow emblems so you can see what hero is next on the list.

Why isn’t every hero +30 or even +40?
Sure, a +30 Signature Item is always stronger than a +20 Signature Item. But the time you need to get a Signature Item from +20 to +30 should reflect in the strength a hero will gain from it and that’s not the case for every hero. For that reason I recommend some heroes with +20 or even +10 to give you “the biggest bang for your buck”.
To clarify, see here how much emblems you need for a hero to get a +30 Signature Item:
- Activation: 20x Primordial Emblems
- Level 10: 200x Primordial Emblems
- Level 10->20: 240x Amplifying Emblems
- Level 20->30: 300x Faction Emblems
- Level 30->40: 820x Factions Emblems OR 650x Epic Emblems (you can use both, the red or white emblems but the cost for the regular red ones are higher)
- Level 40->50: 1360x Epic Emblems
Please mind that heroes within a priority are sorted by priority as well, so the higher a hero position below, the higher the priority to invest in the Signature Item. That’s especially important for the mid-tiers.
Recommended Signature Item Levels for all Heroes in AFK Arena
Let’s go into the priority list that I always update when the tier list is updated/new heroes get added to AFK Arena.
Search:
Carry Heroes
If you're using one of those heroes currently as your main carry or haven't built them so far you should invest here. If you have replaced them already, ignore them in terms of the overall priority.
Awakened Heroes
Awakened Heroes require +30 Signature Items to unlock all abilities - if you're using and building them, their +30 should be a high priority. If not, skip them.
High Prio
These heroes are important for the end-game and carry you there in one or multiple important game modes - they should be your highest priority after the Awakened hero(es) you're working on.
End-Game
Important heroes you will need in the end-game and heroes to perspectively work on their Signature Items as recommended.
Additions
These heroes are not mandatory but enhance your end-game setups and should be on your expanded priority list after you finished to get the High/End Prio heroes you have done. You can start working on their +10 or +20 Signature Item if you have downtime as you're missing some heroes above that you get to mythic right now
Whale
Normally only players that spend a significant amount of money should be able to work on these heroes when they are finished above - if you have emblems leftover, save them rather then spending them here.
Conclusion
I hope this priority lists helps you invest your emblems more effectively and if you have more questions or maybe think I should re-consider some of the priority ranks here, please drop a comment below and I’ll be more than happy to help.
