Bounty Board

Learn how to effectively use AFK Arena's Bounty Board for daily quests, maximizing rewards like Diamonds, Gold, and Hero Essence.

The Bounty Board is a crucial daily activity in AFK Arena, providing a consistent stream of essential resources. Here, you dispatch teams of heroes on various missions, which they complete automatically over a set duration. Successfully completing these bounties yields valuable rewards such as Gold, Hero Experience, Hero Essence, and Diamonds.

Bounty Rarity and Rewards

Bounties are categorized by rarity, which directly influences the difficulty, required hero power, and the quality/quantity of rewards. The rarity tiers are:

• Common: Basic rewards, low hero power requirement.
• Rare: Improved rewards, moderate hero power requirement.
• Elite: Good rewards, higher hero power requirement.
• Legendary: Significant rewards, demanding hero power requirement.
• Mythic: The best rewards, requiring your strongest heroes.

Always prioritize sending heroes on the highest rarity bounties available, especially those offering Diamonds, as these are a premium currency.

Maximizing Your Bounty Board Efficiency

To get the most out of your Bounty Board, consider the following strategies:

1. Always Fill All Slots

Ensure all your available bounty slots are constantly occupied. Even lower rarity bounties contribute to your daily resource income. The goal is to have heroes working for you around the clock.

2. Strategic Refreshing

You have the option to refresh the available bounties. This can be done using:

• Diamonds: Use sparingly, primarily for refreshing if all current bounties are low rarity and you have an abundance of Diamonds.
• Bounty Scrolls: These are specific items that allow free refreshes. Save these for when you have multiple low-tier bounties and are aiming for higher rarity ones, particularly those offering Diamonds.

The aim of refreshing is to secure more Legendary or Mythic bounties, or those that offer Diamonds.

3. Faction Bonuses

A critical mechanic for maximizing bounty rewards is the Faction Bonus. Each bounty will display specific faction icons. If you assign a certain number of heroes from those specified factions to the bounty, you will receive an additional bonus to the rewards.

• Standard Faction Bonus: Typically achieved by assigning three heroes of the same faction that matches one of the bounty's requirements. This often grants a significant boost to the primary rewards.
• Specific Faction Combinations: Some higher-tier bounties might require specific faction combinations (e.g., 2 Lightbearers and 1 Wilder) or a higher number of heroes from a single faction (e.g., 4 Graveborn). Always check the bounty details for the exact requirements.

Prioritize meeting these faction requirements whenever possible, as the bonus rewards can be substantial. This means maintaining a diverse and well-leveled roster across all factions.

4. Hero Power and Availability

As your hero roster grows and strengthens, you'll be able to tackle more challenging bounties simultaneously. Keep an eye on the recommended hero power for each bounty. While you can sometimes complete bounties with slightly underpowered teams, consistently matching or exceeding the recommended power ensures success and prevents wasted time.

Remember that heroes assigned to bounties are unavailable for other activities (like the Labyrinth or Campaign) until the bounty is completed. Plan your hero usage accordingly, especially if you have limited strong heroes.

5. Ascend Your Heroes

Higher ascended heroes naturally have higher combat ratings, making them more suitable for challenging bounties. Focus on ascending your core heroes to unlock their full potential and expand your options for bounty assignments.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Ignoring Faction Bonuses: Failing to meet faction requirements means missing out on significant bonus rewards. Always try to fulfill them.
• Leaving Slots Empty: Any empty slot is lost potential income. Even a low-tier bounty is better than none.
• Over-refreshing with Diamonds: While refreshing can be beneficial, excessive use of Diamonds for this purpose can deplete your valuable currency that could be better spent elsewhere. Use Bounty Scrolls first.
• Sending Weak Teams to High-Tier Bounties: While bounties don't involve direct combat you observe, the success is determined by the assigned heroes' power. Sending an underpowered team to a high-tier bounty can result in failure, wasting the bounty slot and time.

By consistently engaging with the Bounty Board and applying these strategies, you'll ensure a steady flow of resources, accelerating your progress in AFK Arena.
