AFK Journey reroll guide
The most reliable ways to reroll your starting characters in AFK Journey on mobile are server-hopping and email-hopping, but we recommend email-hopping to prevent losing progress compared to other players. That being said, rerolling isn’t super necessary in this game, much like other idle games, AFK Journey relies on duplicates of characters rather than single copies.
Plus, your first two S-rank characters are guaranteed – the first is Cecia, who’s currently the best damage dealer in the game, and the second guarantees you Rowan, Hewynn, and Smokey & Meerky, all of which are amazing support units.
To perform an AFK Journey reroll using email-hopping, all you need to do is:
- Prepare multiple Google email accounts ahead of time
- Go through the rolling process on one and then switch accounts if you need to reroll
How do I get more AFK Journey characters?
