Guide
2025-08-26


In AFK Journey, refining Mythic Talismans is crucial for improving hero strength and team effectiveness. With the arrival of a new reset and the "Hardcore Trial," players need to prioritize which Talismans to refine to maximize damage and team effectiveness. This article will detail the Talisman refining priorities for the Dream, Primal Lord, and AFK phases, providing a comprehensive resource allocation strategy to maximize your hero lineup's potential.


Primal Lord: Refining Core Talismans for Boss Battles

Mode Overview


In Primal Lord mode, players challenge the giant lava lizard Magmazard. Three battles are available daily, and the faster you defeat the boss, the greater the rewards. Key rewards include:


Essence of Time and Twilight


Diamonds and Dura Tokens


A-Rank Soulstones


The top 50 players in the region will receive exclusive titles and portrait frames.


After defeating a boss, players will receive an Eternal Inscription, which will commemorate their achievements.


Core DPS Hero Priority


In Primal Overlord Battles, four DPS heroes are particularly important: Atalanta, Viper, Marilee, and Saida. Refining priorities vary depending on hero resources and equipment investment:


Atalanta


Recommended Charm: Overloaded Charms


Refining Reason: Atalanta is the core DPS in most lineups, and upgrading her Charms significantly increases total damage.


Viper


Recommended Charm: Insight Charms


Refining Tip: If Viper is the main DPS hero in your lineup, prioritize it to ensure sustained high damage throughout the battle.


Marilee


Recommended Charm: Overloaded Charms


Refining Reason: In non-Atalanta lineups, Marilee is the primary damage dealer, and refining her Charms can effectively improve the team's overall performance.


Saida


Recommended Charm: Blast Charms


Refining Tip: Saida requires a significant equipment investment (+15 or higher) to achieve maximum effectiveness. If this is not possible, refining can be postponed.


Refining Strategy Summary: Prioritize Atalanta or a primary damage dealer already deployed, then consider Viper and Marilee. Refining Saida should only be done if sufficient equipment is available.


Dreamland: Daily Boss Challenge Charm Priority

Mode Overview


Dreamland Mode is centered around Daily Boss Challenges, offering ten opportunities per day. Players need to adjust their strategies based on the boss's characteristics. For example:


Dragon: Known for its air attack abilities


Crocodile: Deepwater attacks, versatile and adaptable


Snowstomper: Ice-based, powerful area-of-effect damage


Lonely Gaze: Specializes in single-target control


Alpha Bear: High-damage forest boss


Undead Dragon: Undead attributes and powerful magic attacks


Dream Mode Charm Refining Priorities


To improve boss battle rankings and total damage, here's the Dream Mode Charm Refining Priority:


Highest Priority (T0)


Shemira


Recommended Refining: Insight Charms


Reason: Top-tier damage, significantly boosting damage and total points after refining.


Ludovic


Recommended Refining: Insight or Butcher Charms


Reason: Core damage in multiple high-level Dream Mode lineups; refining enhances team efficiency.


High Priority (T1)


Baelran


Recommended Refining: Insight Charm


Reason: As a DPS or support character in high-level comps, the refining boost is significant.


Pandora


Recommended Refining: Blast Charms


Reason: A core team member; refining can enhance team firepower.


Medium Priority (T2)


Harak, Guardian


Smokey & Meerky


Hujin, Virala, Sonia


Sinbad


Note: Refining a Charm for a T2 character can provide a supportive damage boost or specific team buffs, but has limited direct impact on overall DPS.


Low Priority (T3)


Krug, Shakir


Flaesto


Krisonia


Elia & Lera


Note: T3 characters have low damage or are only used in small comps, so it's not recommended to invest too much resources in them initially.


Dream Refining Strategy Summary:

Initially, focus on core damage dealers Shemira and Ludovic, then gradually expand to Balran and Pandora, and finally consider support or lower-priority characters.


AFK Phase: Advance Core Talisman Refining

Mode Overview


The AFK phase is a long-term progression mode, where players continuously challenge difficult levels, level up their heroes, and acquire resources. Talisman Refining is particularly crucial for core carry heroes during this phase.


Core Hero Talisman Priority

T1 (Highest Priority)


Tasi


Refining Recommendation: Demolition Talisman


Reason: Main damage dealers during the AFK phase, and refining significantly speeds up level advancement.


T2


Faramor


Recommended Refinement: Arcane Charms or Mystic Charms


Reason: Supportive damage, refining improves the team's overall combat effectiveness.


T3


Sel


Recommended Refinement: Destruction Charms


Reason: Excellent crowd control, significant contribution in specific levels, but limited overall damage.


Walker


Recommended Refinement: Butcher Charms or the current best set


Reason: Flexible support, refining provides global stat bonuses.


T4


Bonnie


Recommended Refinement: Magic Charms


Reason: Highly versatile, refining can enhance performance in multiple modes, but is not a core pusher.


AFK Refinement Strategy Summary:

Prioritize core carry Tashi, followed by Faramor and the key duo (Cyran & Walker). Support heroes can be refined after the main heroes are optimized.


Summary and Strategic Recommendations


Prioritize refining the amulets of core damage heroes: Dreamer Shemira, Ludovic, Primal Lord Atalanta, Marilee, and Viper.


Second priority: Support core heroes: Balran, Pandora, and the AFK Faramor and Tasi combination.


Low-priority heroes can be postponed: T2-T3 support heroes or unpopular damage heroes to avoid wasting resources.


Talisman selection should be based on the mode and hero characteristics: Demolition Talisman is suitable for main damage, Insight Talisman increases damage and attribute bonuses, and Magic Talisman enhances general abilities.


Using the above strategies, you can maximize the value of amulet refinement, improve hero combat effectiveness and team performance, while ensuring efficient and reasonable resource allocation, and fully prepare for the next round of "Hardcore Trials."
