Best Build for Hodgkin in AFK Arena (Artifacts, Furniture, Signature Item, Emblems)

If you want to make Hodgkin perform at peak performance in AFK Arena, you need to run the right built. While many players think simply maxing out will do the trick (well, not too wrong), there are certain sweetspots with Hodgkin that will give a big boost so I have some recommendations below that you will very likely find interesting.

Important! If you want to check how well Hodgkin does in the current meta of all heroes in AFK Arena, please check out my current tier list of all heroes here.

Hodgkin’s Signature Item

Signature Item
Hodgkin's Signature Item should be at +30. With his general mechanics, you can't lose when getting his Signatur Item up. It will add great self-heal when he ultimate and also give that healing with up to 75% of his max HP to an injured ally. His +30 SI might be debatable, but I think for his snowballing ability in late game it's extremely viable and will make him a great addition for your team.. If you want to learn more about the recommended priority how you should invest into Signature Items in AFK Arena, check out our priority guide.

Furniture Recommendation

Furniture Set
Overall we recommend to get Hodgkin's 9/9 furniture set bonus. Hodgkin Both his furniture bonus are on point. The 3/9 will make his debuff permanent after using his ultimate and the 9/9 will make the enemy debuff stronger and also add damage every time he ultimate again which compliments Hodgkin's overall mechanics very well.

Engraving

Engravings are an important part for Hodgkin and this is probably the main reason why you’re here on this page. Below you will find the optimal Engraving Levels as well as our recommended route how to invest in the Engravings as you normally don’t just have the cores lying around just waiting to max out an Engraving for a hero.

In the case of Hodgkin you don’t have to invest into any Engravings when we talk about the absolute MINIMAL INVESTMENT to make this hero work. The RECOMMENDED INVESTMENT (the investment you should have in order to be able to make the hero work well enough), which is E36 and for those of you who really want to make Hodgkin shine the MAXIMUM INVESTMENT (the one that makes sense, there is literally no need to invest further unless you’re a PvP whale and drop a ton of money on the game), which is E61.

The more interesting part, however, is the order how to invest your cores in the different nodes, right? Well, below you will find the perfect order to invest the cores in (simply follows the numbers – the colors of the numbers will show you if this is optimal=green or maximum=blue investment). This helps you invest your cores in the most efficient and economic way and get the most of of them with Hodgkin:

Spending Order E0-E30

Spending Order E30+

Pro

We tested excessively to give you the perfect sweetspots of Engravings for all heroes so you get the best performance without over-investing in Engraving, which will help you progressing a lot faster in the long run. The ideal Engraving order past E30 is exclusive for AllClash Pro supporters in Patreon..

Recommended Artifacts & Collection

If you are not that progressed in AFK Arena and don’t have access to the collections from the Goulish Gallery, Here are the artifacts that you can possible run with Hodgkin. Please keep in mind that collections are the future so you will need to build them and use them sooner or later to progress to the later content in the game. This is more for earlier players or backups if you can’t use the recommended collection!

Now that artifacts got replaced by the collections in the Ghoulish Gallery, this whole section requires a lot more effort in building the correct collection type with the ideal substats – this lets you fine-tune heroes a lot better but also requires more details in order to work well.

This is the collection you want to run with Hodgkin (please also mind the recommended collection skill level):

Spell Bondage
Spell BondageSkill Level 1

Again, this is also the optimal skill level so I don’t recommend going higher than this as this means you have to sacrifice stats which are more important.
