In AFK Arena there are plenty of Heroes to choose from and knowing which ones you should be putting your resources into can be confusing. This Best Heroes guide will point you in the right direction by giving you a rough idea of the best Heroes you should foucus on during the different stages of the game.
As you can see from our lists below for the different stages of the game we believe the best heroes in AFK Arena are Brutus, Shemira, Ferael, Nemora, Lucius, and Athalia who all fill different roles. The two Heroes we feel should be in every team is Nemora who is a great addition because of her superior support-abilities which include healing and Brutus who is unquestionably the best tank choice and also a great damage dealer which is why many people believe he is the single best hero in the game overall.
The following lineup is a well balanced team that has been tried and tested carefully by a lot of top players and has been proven to be very successful in AFK Arena.
Nemora (Support, Healer)
Brutus (Tank, DPS)
Tasi (Support, CC)
Ferael (DPS, AoE)
Lyca (DPS, Buffer)
During this stage of AFK Arena the Heroes that can carry their teams through to Level 60 with the least investment are the best options.
Saveas
Faction: Maulers
Role: DPS
Lucius
Faction: Lightbearer
Role: Support CC
Nemora
Faction: Wilders
Role: Support, Healer
When you reach this stage of AFK Arena the Legendary Heroes get their Ultimate Level 2 and Mythic Heroes get their 4th skill which makes them more viable than what they were previously in the early game.

Brutus

Lucius

Tasi

When you reach this stage of the game your Legendary Heroes will no longer get any additional skill upgrades and they will fall off in power which will result in them becoming less workable. The result of this means the game is now more evolved around Mythic Heroes.
Athalia
Faction: Celestials
Role: DPS
Shemira
Faction: Graveborn
Role: DPS
Elijah & Lailah
Faction: Celestials
Role: Support
Nemora
Faction: Wilders

Lucius
Faction: Lightbearer
Role: Tank
During the final stage of AFK Arena all of your 5 Star ascended Heroes should be at least Level 240 with full Mythic Gear and Signature Items.
