Welcome to my updated tier list for Darkest AFK and there has been some minor tweaks due to the recent balancing changes that I implemented.
Important! Also check out my frequently updated list of active gift codes in Darkest AFK here to not miss out on free Gems and more the developers post every other week (there’s normally at least one gift code active at any given time!).
Oh, also one thing before we start. I usually wouldn’t say that, but please be aware that all the other tier lists I checked are either super outdated, like at least 6 months behind and don’t include the recent heroes or balancing changes that happened – or they are, and that shocked me, plain wrong. There was even one tier list that used the Level 1 character base stats to rank the characters in tiers… I mean, please be very careful and double-check which tier list you use!
Also, add a good spell to your setup! I have here also a guide on what spells you should use in Darkest AFK.
Best Characters Tier List in Darkest AFK
So, my ranking below is looking towards end-game content so some heroes might not be that strong before, but I think that’s what helps you invest in the long run in Darkest AFK, right? I mean, why should I recommend a character in S Tier when it’s overpowered in the first 10 Chapters that you can also beat with any other character and then becomes useless and you wasted time and effort?!
So, this is the characters you should aim for and that will pay off in the long run. Sorry that the intro was longer than expected but I feel it was necessary to mention it.
Why are some bad heroes suddenly in S Tier?!?!?! Good question, especially end-game content in Darkest AFK is about how stats scale and between blue and gold rarity, they scale massively and make a hero that is super weak at blue rarity before Level 200 to a really strong and viable one at gold rarity and Level 280+…

Coomon mistake considering Sir Joseph D tier. Just read his Signature Weapon description, when it procs it literally kills everything on screen in seconds, when in team with Azarellia her shield never goes down. Also fix the description on Condrat im curious of what you think of him, he is my go to tank anyway, passive of immortality is just too OP and the heal u get from his ulty is insane, best tank imho.
Hi and thank you for your tier list of Darkest Afk.
I had fun reading it and found a few mistakes that I listed for you.
Note: please correct the following –
for support characters Harumi and Ja Van you have listed as Tanks and –
for Condrat you have Ingrids info.
My best characters are: Lilith, Gabriella, Zorug, Harumi, Violet, JaVan and Tillon. And I like tank Kudjar and damager Ziuk, but I don’t use them because they are defeated to easily.
Thanks ALLCLASH, I hope you can update and add more things like different teams to try.
Heya. You put Tao at top of S but did not provide much info. On other side you put Zorug in A+ and wrote that he is one of best and sturdiest tanks. I started investing in Tao as he was on top. Did I made good or bad choice?
Hi.Pls Update Zi’Uk.Show more buttom dosnt work.
This guide looks nice but seems heavily outdated with many characters missing. I just started playing Darkest AFK and would definitely use a bit of help, so is there a planned update for this guide/tierlist? Thanks!
Thank you for making this content. I started playing Darkest AFK a month ago and this is a great help for prioritizing who to level up. I’d love to see a guide in the future with team builds for campaign and arena.
