⇒Now, the first two heroes in the frontline should be of a tank role; the units with the best HP/Defense and defensive/shield skills. These guys are the first ones who get the attack. Their protection shield, high HP, defense, agility stats increase survivability. And, both these units give a shield to the backline characters.

⇒In the backline, where you can deploy three heroes; you should go with a healer or two DPS. You can also try the buffer and DPS combination. But, the healer is a must. The guys in the front line protect the backline heroes. And, the backline heroes do their job; deal damage to the enemies, heal the front row units, buff them(Depends on the team combination).

That’s the ideal team combination in the AFK Arena game. You can experiment with heroes combination and their positions if you are getting stuck on a stage.
