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

If you want to make Saurus 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 Saurus 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 Saurus does in the current meta of all heroes in AFK Arena, please check out my current tier list of all heroes here.

SaurusBShow More Info
Here is a quick overview of the rankings of Saurus for the different modes of the game. Please refer to the full tier list linked below to see the ranking of all heroes in AFK Arena and full evaluation and priority.Campaign: CTower: S+Nightmare Corridor: S+Cursed Realm: S+Full Tier List

Saurus’s Signature Item

Signature Item

Saurus's Signature Item should be at +30. Saurus Signature Item makes him so powerful with adding healing when fully stacked for himself and when maxed out at +30 even for the full team. You will turn Saurus into a beast against boss fights who starts also healing your team as well as insane damage in the right 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 Saurus's 9/9 furniture set bonus. Saurus damage mitigation is nice and a tough spot. i'd recommend it for running Saurus in Guild Hunt but for normal team setups more an optional thing. If you want to learn more about in what order to unlock your heroes furniture sets, check out our Furniture Priority Guide.

Engraving

Engravings are an important part for Saurus 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 Saurus 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 E35 and for those of you who really want to make Saurus 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 E66.

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 Saurus:

Spending Order E0-E30

Spending Order E30+

Recommended Artifacts (Now Collections)

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 Saurus (please also mind the recommended collection skill level):

Shadow DancerSkill Level 2

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.

Offensive Stats

Here are the best stats to put on the collection artifact for Saurus in the offensive slots:
