Full Honor Duel Guide For AFK Journey
Honor Duel Start Combo Setup
The first thing we’ll cover in this Honor Duel guide forAFK Journeyis the setup. There is really only one important choice, and that is thestarting combo. If you want to play for fun or limit the test after you’ve already claimed the weekly rewards, go for the random combo at the bottom.
Otherwise, you’ll choose among the three defined combos. They are randomized each run, but the hero and artifact pools are finite. So, you’ll look to plan ahead and define astrategyright here. You’ll want an artifact that will work best with your predicted team comp, which is, in most cases, something that either amplifiesultimatesorhealing. More on that later.
Honor Duel Hero Roster in AFK Journey
As in all other modes, you’ll want to have only two factions on the field for the best faction bonus and the most versatility. Below is the list offaction combosthat worked the best for me in Honor Duel (note that there are no Celestials and Hypogeans in this mode).

Hero Ascension and What Heroes to Ascend First
Heroascensionis fairly simple in this mode: you just need to getdupes. Thegamewill do the rest and upgrade your heroes. To get the first upgrade, you’ll needtwo copies, and for the second, you’ll needfour. you may track the number of dupes you already have below each hero’s avatar.
Once you’ve decided on your faction combo, you’ll want tostickto it till the end. This isn’t TFT, and selling heroes here doesn’t pay off at all. So, you want to invest smartly. The best tactic is to prioritizeDPS ascensions firstand then onlylater tanksand supports as they scale worse.

Honor Duel Combat Strategy
The combat strategy in Honor Duel has two main aspects, and they work similarly as in other AFK Journey game modes. The first one is picking out theright comp, but we’ve already covered that. The second one ishero placement, and that is what truly influences the fight’s outcome.

Post-Fight Stats Screen
The post-fight stats screen gives you insight into which units areperformingwell. Use it to determine which units you want to use. The image above is from round 9, whereMirael, withColorful Exoplanetequipped, nuked thewhole enemy team. The only thing she needed was Lucius to tank them all until she got her energy.
If you get a draw, which happens if the fight doesn’t end within60 seconds, you are simply taken back to the main Honor Duel screen, and you’re able to try matching again. No lives are lost, and no victories are added. The shop isn’t refreshed either.
