You must use your Affinity items to level your Affinity with the heroes in AFK Journey. You can also interact with (press) the hero while you’re on their character page to gain two Affinity (you can only do this three times per day).

To level up fast, you must get and use as many Affinity items as possible, and most importantly, it is essential to give the hero the Affinity items they love.

    • Honeyberry
    • Hexaflower
    • Glowfly Fruit
