The Legend Trial is a PVE Battle Mode in AFK Journey that allows you to climb up four different towers and battle increasingly powerful enemies in exchange for valuable growth items.
Read more to learn everything you need to know about Legend Trials, including how to assemble the best mono-faction team for each tower!
Legend Trial Overview
You unlock the Legend Trial Battle Mode after clearing AFK Stage 166. Here, you can climb four different towers with specific hero restrictions, namely:
- Tower of Will (Mauler Heroes only)
- Tower of Eternity (Graveborn Heroes only)
- Tower of Light (Lightbearer Heroes only)
- Tower of Nature (Wilder Heroes only)
As you can see from the image above, the Tower of Eternity only allows me to deploy heroes from the Graveborn faction.
This mechanic severely limits your choice of team compositions, but it’s a good way to explore new strategies and learn just how each hero performs when paired up with other heroes in the same faction.
TIP: We highly recommend clearing Legend Trial floors every day and keeping your progress in each tower as close as you can, as you will not be able to progress further in one tower if your progress in all other towers is lagging 10 floors behind.
Progression & Rewards
Upon unlocking the Legend Trials, you start from Floor 1 in all four towers. Your goal is to clear as many floors as you can in each tower so you can farm the following rewards:
The type of Faction Acorn you get depends on which faction’s tower you’re clearing. You get Faction Acorns after every floor is cleared in any Legend Trial tower.
Invite Letters and Hero Essence, on the other hand, are much rarer and either of them is only given away as a reward after every five floors are cleared in any Legend Trial tower.
Tower Schedules
Your access to the four Legend Trial towers is restricted by a daily schedule. Here are the towers that you can access on each day of the week:
| Legend Trial Towers | Daily Schedule |
|---|---|
 Tower of Light | Monday Friday Sunday |
 Tower of Nature | Wednesday Saturday Sunday |
 Tower of Eternity | Thursday Saturday Sunday |
 Tower of Will | Tuesday Friday Sunday |
You get access to all towers in the Legend Trial on Sunday, so remember to log in that day and clear as many floors as you can—especially if you’ve missed clearing one faction’s tower during the weekdays.
Legend Trial: Best Mono-Faction Teams for All Legend Trial Towers
Listed below are the best teams for all four Legend Trial towers, taking mostly into account how effective their skills are for their roles and how well they compare to other heroes in the same Faction.
NOTE: Feel free to replace any of the following heroes on your team depending on various factors such as availability or the depth of your heroes' ascension. Remember, in AFK Journey, you're better off working with what you have instead of forcing a team comp, and even the most “optimal” teams may be outperformed by specialized, niche teams in some battles.
Best Tower of Light Team (Lightbearer Faction)
Best Tower of Nature Team (Wilder Faction)
| Tank |  Granny Dahnie | |

TIP: You lose nothing but time if you try to clear a floor and fail, so make sure to try different team compositions and hero placements to potentially clear the floors you’re currently stuck at. Also, remember to check the Battle Statistics after every battle to see which hero works best for specific roles and against certain enemies!
