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

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

Thoran’s Signature Item

Furniture Recommendation

Overall it’s recommended to get Thoran’s **9/9 furniture** set bonus. Thoran’s 3/9 bonus can grab enemies outside his ultimate range which makes cheese more effective against certain setups. The extra energy from the full furniture will also help but won’t change that much that you “have to” get it (still really nice) If you want to learn more about in what order to unlock your heroes furniture sets, check out my Furniture Priority Guide.

Engraving

Engravings are an important part for Thoran 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 Thoran 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 E11 and for those of you who really want to make Thoran 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 Thoran:

Spending Order E0-E30

Spending Order E30+
