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

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

Tarnos’s Signature Item

Signature Item
Tarnos's Signature Item should be at +30. The problem with Tarnos kit is not that this Signature Item is not working well with it, it does. But when the level deficits get bigger, he will simply die so fast there's no difference if he has it or not and just for the stages where the level deficit is low, well, it's a hefty invest.... 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 Tarnos's -/9 furniture set bonus. Tarnos furniture perks work and make him more sustain but his overall mechanics make him good as long as level deficits won't get too high - but that's where you need the furniture actually and he will die before he can make use of it. So nothing I can recommend right now for normal players - but as he is a whalte PvP hero you should invest completely all-inn if you do competitive PvP 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 Tarnos 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 Tarnos 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 Tarnos 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 E67.

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 Tarnos:

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 Tarnos. 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 Tarnos (please also mind the recommended collection skill level):

Shadow Dancer
Shadow DancerSkill 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.
