AFK Arena characters born in March

Greetings Adventurers! 🔥

Amid the gentle whispers of spring, the Spratmon is showing signs of a bountiful harvest this year!

Our feature constellation this month is Arcus, a sharp arrow that rips through the sky and pours forth the secrets of the stars.

And let's not forget our birthday heroes of the month: Peggy, Kren, Morvus, Mirael, Hodgkin, Warek, Astar, and Lucretia!

Let's wish them––and all adventurers celebrating this month too––a very happy birthday!!🎂

Ngl this was a tough one. I went back and completely redid Tasi (still not happy with it lol) and also got REALLY slowed down on Orthros and Zolrath. Some cheesy joke about time is probably in there. Proud of Isabella though... and Lucius and Warek were surprisingly a breeze.

Oh I'm rambling now but while drawing Warek, I realized that one of the reasons I dislike his design is because his sprite art has him with like... human teeth??? Why tf would a bear guy have flat teeth smh

Part 2 here - and that one links to part one. I don't like doing links!

Rowan’s Adventure

(Transcribed directly from the game, errors included.)

Dear (Player),

The end of another busy year again, but aside from making money, I didn’t actually do anything. It’s time to pack my bags and see what’s going on in the world. Perhaps a trip to the dusty desert, or maybe the lush forest? I’ll ramble all over and become friends with time. Ah, friends. Just you lot wait, I’ll be sending you all letters soon enough.

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

Dear (Player),

Hey, how have you been recently? Hope you haven’t forgotten about your globe trotter friend, Rowan. Recently I stumbled upon a magically enchanted forest. All of the creatures in the forest are magical. I even came across a squirrel, she’s trying to invent a new type of shampoo that can make her bushy tail even bushier! But she doesn’t seem to be on the right track. I wonder if you could help me find a friend who knows a lot about plant research. If they lived nearby that would be even better!

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

If you choose Solise.

Dear (Player),

This shampoo! It’s a genius invention! Probably the best gift you could hope to receive in the new year. Not only can it wake up your hair, it can also wake up your brain! Weary traveler? Not me!

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

If you choose Peggy, according to a screenshot from another player.

Dear (Player),

Why you, you… meany! Good job I’m fast on my feet, or I’d have been caught. Alright alright, here take these gifts. Don’t cause any more mischief, okay? That obnoxious princess nearly burnt this whole place down to the ground!

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

If you choose any other hero.

Dear (Player),

Achoo! The friend you recommended to help design this shampoo really got stuck in the whole process. The shampoos smell is really quite pungent! However… hmm there seems to be something wrong with me, but I can’t put my finger on it. Well, I’ll give it a go anyway. I hope all my hair doesn’t fall out!

Dear (Player),

Hey, friend. I’ve arrived at the City of Bards - Kuilin City. I don’t know who’s been blabbing, but somehow Peggy has caught wind of my whereabouts! It seems like she’s got her soldiers out looking for clues as to my whereabouts. I’ve only just set out on my journey, I really don’t want to get caught up with those guys. Luckily I managed to dive into the Megamouth Shark Troupe’s Gift Cart and buy myself a really cool pair of sunglasses. What do you think of them? Remember to spread some misinformation about my location, in the meantime take these gifts off my hands!

Dear (Player),

My friend, how are things lately?

I can’t believe it’s already been another year, and I’ve been able to enjoy the festivities of another Spring Spree. It’s a great day when people sing and dance and pray for the flame to bring happiness to all. Eh-hem, I’ve learned how to do a fire dance, but there are still many problems with my form. Could you help arrange for a dance instructor to come teach me how it’s done properly? It’s said that the best dancer at the festival will win a really special prize.

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

If you choose Satrana.

Dear (Player),

Satrana is a brilliant dancer! People were enchanted by her dance, everyone gathered around her and joined in. What a lively festival, really thank you, please accept this gift!

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

If you choose Peggy.

Dear (Player),

You told Peggy? Good job I managed to run into the crowd undetected. If I were any later I’d definitely have been apprehended. Stop it with your pranks! Here, take this gift, maybe it’ll make you behave for a while.

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

If you choose any other hero.

Dear (Player),

Although the friend you recommended can’t really dance too well, they still brought me a lot of joy! We spent a great time enjoying the festivities together. Here’s a gift for you.

Dear (Player),

Hey friend, I’ve arrived at Mutt’Heer town. This Mauler town is really bustling. It’s like a pearl shining in a sea of sand. It’s full of great food and great activities, there’s too much to write down! The barbecued meats, the sunbathing, it’s all awesome! The most famous place here is the Crimson Arena, situated at the center of Mutt’Heer. Although I enrolled to participate in the arena, well, I’m not really strong enough to go it alone. Perhaps you could arrange to send someone over to partner with me? You’d be really doing me a favor! I hear they crown the most powerful warrior with the grand scepter of Mutt’Heer, and a tailor-made cloak.

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

If you choose Tidus or Warek.

Dear (Player),

So this is how it feels to crush your opponents? Hey friend, thanks for all your help, we were victorious!

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

If you choose Peggy.

Dear (Player)

That girl! She chased me through three streets in the center of Mutt’Heer. C’mon, stop pranking me!

The merchant you can always rely on, Rowan

If you choose any other hero.

Dear (Player),

Thanks to you, we didn’t lose too badly. The person you selected was pretty strong, but they didn’t really understand the rules of the Crimson Arena.

Dear (Player),

I received a letter from my dear brother, it’s a poem. «Oh my little brother, you’re having a blast, but you know it cannot last, you can’t stay out there forever. It’s nice to know that even in that beautiful, faraway land, I still have a dear brother on who I can depend. This chapter is over, this story has been told, now it’s time to return and start making more of that shiny gold. Now it’s time to put on your best clothes, it’s time to for you to finally come home!»

AFK Arena's letter to the players and my guesses

So yesterday, AFK Arena released a letter to the players for a happy new year. And honestly, it was really uplifting! No corporate babbling, not even a single mention about resources or budgeting, just a nice letter to the fanbase about what's to come – speaking of which!

According to the letter, we are going to be getting many MANY more awakened heroes! Older hero reworks are now gonna be done in this way. There should be one awakened hero every 2-3 months and when there's an awakened hero, there won't be a new hero coming out around that time period. But the best part about this is that AFK Arena is going to shift its focus from pure grind and mechanical aspects, from churning out new op chapters and floors in towers, to storytelling. Each and every awakened hero will get their own story-based event at the end of which, we'll see their awakened version – and there will be another event to obtain one copy of the awakened version without spending in-game resources!

There was more but this is mostly what I wanted to talk about. The Talene event we're getting right now is just a little taste of things to come, and I for one am ECSTATIC! AFK Arena's storytelling is what pulled me into it in the first place. It just grabbed me and didn't let go, which sadly can't be said about most of my other fandoms (looking at you, Twst, pull yourself together). The fact that they started releasing several webcomics and now want to focus on story-based events with animated trailers and new theme songs, all that to rework old heroes we all know and love... I am so SO glad to see this!

But now to my guesses. I want to make a quick little list of which character from each faction I think will get their awakened versions first. I will probably be wrong but I wanna share my guesses. Feel free to rb and add your own, let's see if we can figure Lilith out!

Zolrath – For Hypogeans, my first guess would be Zolrath. Lilith really likes to put Zolrath in story-focused content, and for a good reason. His breaking of the fourth wall as he manipulates even us players outside of the fame is incredibly fun to go through and immersive. Whether the story tackles a clash with Orthros or eliminating a particularly powerful enemy, I'm on board!

Khazard – At the same time, if we're talking storytelling potential, no Hypogean can match what Khazard has. Seeing more details about his battle with Respen, and possibly even getting some inner monologue and see what more of Khazard's personality would just be cool.

Lucius – From Lightbearers, I have two main guesses for their very own reasons. Lucius is here because of how much attention has been focused on him lately with all the VoWs. From his lost friendships, to his failing faith in the CoL, to his doubt when it comes to the divine light itself. Him coming to terms with all of this and finding a way to overcome it would make for a tense but ultimately amazing story.

Thane – Thane is one of the characters who need a rework most desperately. That paired up with Silent Blade and the fact that Lilith did tease Thaden meeting in their first anniversary quest makes me hopeful that we might see some of Thane's brilliance once more.

Warek – I wasn't sure who to pick with the Maulers tbh. Most of their stories are pretty finished and while there could potentially be more to add, it would just feel disconnected. Warek though, I think would be an excellent exception. He fights for honor to restore the pride of his clan – so what is he going to do once it's restored? Or maybe he gets nearly beaten and has to gather all his strength to keep going? Either way would be exciting to watch!

Lyca – Unlike the Maulers, there's a TON of Wilders who could benefit from expansions to their stories. But I'm placing my chips on Lyca. Lilith likes Lyca, there's no doubt about it. They even called her the incarnation of the game itself – mediocre at first but through preserverence and hard work, she became someone well-known and respected. It would be interesting to see what more they will do with her now that her arc is practically over.

Shemira – The earliest carry in the game, Shemira is another character with a desperate need of a buff. That and I saw some leaked art from Chinese servers with Shemira without her eyemask. I don't know if that has anything to do with awakenings but it could. That's mainly it for my reasoning.

Baden – Meanwhile, I have actual reasoning for Baden. For one, there's the Silent Blade comic again which is as much Baden's story as it is Thane's. And just like Thane, Baden could benefit from a solid buff. But unlike Thane, Baden has a clear direction of where to go next. Fighting off his spectral lich for a second time, Baden might be able to finally break free and show us his own attack power!

[zonkutonshorrifyingpeenie]

Well, looks like I'm officially at the point of using the Garrison system as level insurance on the Crystal cause fodder just Does Not Like Me right now...

I guess that means I've reached mid-to-late game?

The most effective method to Make A "Terrible" Hero Work | AFK Arena [Guide]

Thus, you folks know the "meta" groups; that is, arrangements that are more mainstream than others for their effectiveness, simplicity of building, or on the grounds that they are advertised more. These are the groups that you see being utilized a great deal in mission, PvP, and King's Tower a ton. Assume an early game player requests what kind from group they should take a stab at working over the long haul. All things considered, they will presumably be replied with something very similar: form LBs (Lightbearers) or Wilders, at that point work to get the OP "whale comp" (Rowan, Talene, Ezizh, Mehira, Twins) on the grounds that these are dependable developments.

However, actually, I lean toward playing the game my direction. I need to have some good times playing the legends I like, with the thinking of "this is a game, is there any valid reason why i shouldn't have a great time playing it?" And generally, that is the means by which I played in the hours of Shemira not being the best thing ever. I essentially never utilized the mainstream LB saints outside of group tower or if Warek existed, and the ones I utilized were the ones I preferred, similar to Rowan and Rosaline. (That is not preventing me from dealing with getting the Lucius skin however, I love that thing!)

Along these lines, I didn't utilize a LB comp after section 26. I seldom actually use Wilders (my Eironn is still at E+, which I lament for group tower). Nah, my group was pretty much fixated on Rigby, who is right now thought to be about the most exceedingly terrible saint in the game. Furthermore, I'm in part 29, running a 60 level deficiency, which conceded isn't as great as what Wilders can do however whatever.

You're most likely reasoning, "Kyle, why the hell would you utilize such an awful saint? Even better, HOW!?" Well, that is the place where we at long last get to the meat of this; How did I make the "most noticeably awful" legend in the game look so great? All things considered, here are the three stages I've used to refine my Rigby comp throughout the months of my utilizing him:

Know their qualities and sort out some way to expand on them

Know their shortcomings and sort out some way to cover them

Assemble a group around them that can work with the qualities and shortcomings of the saint

I will take Rigby as an illustration since well, you better trust I've taken in a couple of things about him. Thus, here are a portion of his qualities that I've found:

Qualities

He can tank and assault actually rapidly with his "Tipsy Frenzy" capacity

He can do gigantic AoE harm and dazes because of his ult and SI (signature thing)

Here and there he can move of an assault because of the amount he moves with his ult

His ult can bargain consistent harm, and the clock for the DOT (harm over the long run) resets each time a foe is hit with Rigby's ult

As a result of his uninvolved capacity, wellsprings of recuperating like Rowan's elixirs mend far more than ordinary.

That isn't a lot to work with, but on the other hand it's unquestionably better than nothing. Be that as it may, he has a few shortcomings too, and they're kinda strong (like the garbage sack brand, not supported):

Shortcomings

While his harm and tankiness are pleasant once he gets set up, the arrangement sets aside some effort to work and isn't perpetual. On the off chance that he doesn't have a few brew stacks, at that point he will bite the dust actually rapidly.

He's truly vulnerable to CC (swarm control) and skirmish harm since he needs to get in near his foes and has no assurance to CC (you'd think he'd be unaffected by dozing and comparable when he's beered up however whatever).

The sweep of his AoE assaults is somewhat little contrasted with legends like Belinda and Safiya, and your foes won't be gathered up generally.

His self-mending capacity is somewhat frail since it doesn't work until after your harm decrease wears off.

He doesn't offer a lot of help to his group. Certainly, there's some CC and harm, however nothing in the method of legitimately helping colleagues.

With shortcomings like that, how might he reasonably be utilized? Indeed, luckily, this game has a huge load of legends that can do various things, and they can support the qualities and shortcomings of pretty much anybody. Coincidentally the saints that help Rigby are themselves great.
