AFK Journey is an auto-chess style gacha game where the outcome of each battle is decided by your ability to construct teams that synergize well. Because battles play out automatically, you won’t be able to influence much after you’ve put your team together.
The Honor Duel battle mode is the ultimate way to test your team-building and drafting skills. This optional PvP game mode has you draft a team of heroes and battle consecutive opponents. Below, we’ll take a look at everything you need to know about Honor Duel in AFK Journey.
Honor Duel Battle Mode Explained
Honor Duel is a “fair play” PvP mode whereeveryone starts on the same playing field. Rather than using your own heroes, you will draft your teams from random heroes for the duration of the Duel. This means that no matter what your progress is in the game, you’ll be able to fight players on an even ground in Honor Duel.
Your objective is toachieve victory nine timeswithout losing three times.
Entering an Honor Duel costsone Duel Letter. You will getfive of these every day, and you can hold a maximum of five at a time. If you want more after that, you’ll need tospend Gold. You can purchase up to 30 additional Duel Letters in this way per day.
When you begin an Honor Duel, you’ll first select yourinitial combo. This will give you a bundle ofan Artifact, three chosen Heroes, and 60 Honor Badges. Alternatively, you can choose the random option, which will give you a random artifact, three random Heroes, and 70 Honor Badges to compensate.
The Duel Store
After choosing your initial setup, you’ll be taken to theDuel Store. This is where you canspend your Honor Badgesto buy equipment or Heroes. You’ll be taken back to the Duel Store after every match.
Purchasingduplicate heroesin the Duel Store will add to theirAscension level. After buying two duplicates, the Hero will becomeLegendary, and after buying four more, they will becomeMystic.
Equipment in Honor Duels works a little differently than elsewhere in AFK Journey. In Honor Duels, Heroes canonly equip one piece of equipment. However, each piece of equipment has special effects. You canfreely equip and swap your gearfrom the Formation menu at the Duel Store.
You cansell unwanted Heroesfrom the Formation menu.
The quality of items available in the Duel Store will increase as you complete matches, whether you win or lose. This is shown through theDuel Store Levelat the top of the screen.
If you don’t like the selection of items available, you canrefresh themforthree Honor Badges. You can alsolock specific itemsso that they won’t be refreshed. The store isautomatically refreshed after each match.
Your Artifactgains experience by completing matches or Ascending Heroes. Each Artifact has three levels, and it will gain unique bonuses after reaching each level.
Honor Duel Matches
After making adjustments in the Duel Store, you’ll enter a match with another player. At the start of each battle, you’ll have to decide which of your Heroes to deploy, and where you want to deploy them.
However, the deployment phase issplit into two parts. At first, both you and your opponent willchoose three Heroes to deploy, which will then berevealed to each other. With this information in mind, you will thendeploy your two remaining Heroes.
Youcan’t adjust the position of your Heroesafter deploying and revealing them. Think carefully about where you want to deploy your Heroes!
After you’ve both deployed your teams, the battle will begin. Battles will unfold with thefull auto setting always enabled, so you can’t time the use of your Heroes' Ultimates. Whether you win or lose is determined by your party’s composition and positioning.
After each battle, you’ll gain some Honor Badges. You can gain even more Honor Badges byusing Heroes that you didn’t use in previous battles. This bonus will stack, so using a Hero that you haven’t used in a while is a good way to cash in on a ton of extra Badges.
You will then be sent back to the Duel Store, and the process will repeat until you’ve either won nine battles or lost three.
At the end of an Honor Duel Round, you’ll gain Honor Points, which determines your overall score for that season of Honor Duel, which in turn determines yourposition on the leaderboards. You’ll also gain rewards likeGems, Gold, andInvite Lettersby winning Honor Duel matches within the season limit.
You don’t get anything for being ranked higher on the leaderboard, other than pride!
