and then 
AFK Journey is amazing so far and quite generous when it comes to unlocking new heroes for you to progress through campaign, Dream Realm and other game modes that will give quite a bunch of rewards to continue building your teams. Like already stated in my best hero tier list for AFK Journey here, the heroes and mechanics are somewhat different if you come from playing AFK Arena before so this guide is meant to help you build your core teams for the different modes.
Best Dream Realm Teams in AFK Journey
In Dream Realms you fight a boss with unique abilities every day to gain Dream Fragments that you can use to buy hero copies. Scoring well here is important and every boss has quite some unique abilities that require you to use certain heroes.
Best Team Against Skyclops
Skyclops requires you to have some AoE damage in your team as he will summon his minions that you have to get rid of quickly and there are multiple teams you can use:
Teams that work change between seasons as there are more heroes available in new seasons + the Magic Charms are different amongst other individual factors. This is why each season has different teams to use and we have dedicated guides for that:

Best Team Against King Croaker
King Croaker has two annoying abilities – one is his energy shield that will reduce the damage he takes. At this point you need to make a ton of DPS to even scratch him and with his magic bubble he instantly kills one of your heroes.

Best Team Against Necrodrakon
With the ground aura you need a team with heroes that change their position frequently to stand a real chance against him. The best team right now against Necrodrakon with heroes that change their stance all the time while dealing good damage and stay alive
Best Team Against Snow Stomper
The annoying part about Snow Stomper is that he will silence your heroes for a lot of time so they can’t use their ultimate so you want to run heroes that also deal good damage with their regular attacks + he will freeze one of your top attackers at times.

Best Team Against Lone Gaze
Starting Season 1 (Song of Strife), there will be Lone Gaze in the rotation as well. You might remember him from the Primal Lord event. He requires your team to actually deal primarily melee damage but with his summoned wolfs he can also rip apart your support line easily so your team has to be capable of protecting each other while still dealing damage.

Best Team Against Alpha Bear
Also the other Primal Lord from Season 0/pre-Season enters the Dream Realm in Season 1 (Song of Strife) as a boss – Alpha Bear deals brutal damage to your team and has a ton of protection so two elements in your team are key – protection in terms of healing/damage reduction and shielding and when it comes to damage you need heroes that can deal true damage to actually be able to deal damage against him.

Best Team Against Crystal Beetle
New in Season 2 (Waves of Intrigue) in the rotation is Crystal Beetle that needs quite some strategic team to actually work due to its unique kit that can be a bit annoying:

The Main Things When Building A Team in AFK Journey
I know many players love to go for the faction and team bonus for the 10 or 15% stat improvement – but let me tell you right away that you are better off using heroes that are great than using less effective heroes and get them some extra stats in AFK Journey!
If we exclude a couple of funky stages you always will aim to build your team with one tank that keeps enemy lines busy while your other heroes load their ults (the only exception here is the Crystal Defense stages where often 2 tanks are better), one healer that will heal your tank and other team members and one strong area damage dealer. Then you can add other support heroes, single-target damage dealers.
That all in mind, I have below some main team setups that you will love:
Best Campaign / AFK Journey Teams in AFK Journey
When it comes to this there are a ton of factors in play and giving you distinct team doesn’t make sense for two reasons – one, you depend on the heroes you pull early and, second, also if you fail stages you need to increase your resonance level and then you can power-creep the stages.
But, here are some heroes you should focus on building early that will carry very well in those stages – these heroes work incredibly well without a lot of invest in ther EX Weapon so they are perfect to carry you while you start building your roaster:
Conclusion
I hope this guide helps and we are working hard to get you settled with more teams that you can use since the recommended team feature in the game is nice, but also filled with heroes that either require a ton of invest or money to unlock in the first place.
