1 messages Ā· Page 107 of 1
I want to learn the AFK lore and have played sense the release of the game but have never paid attention to it, where do I start?
Yep. Also in cn lore, thali is also desceibed as a fox. Thats all we know abt her
what
@primal willow maybe you can start reading the origins of each factions first. It'll let you understand the settin and timeline of the game
thx
And ask us if need be. Because the lore in the English localization is a little mashed-up and confused.
@crystal tapir just a little? 
Next patch also includes a new union story "the traveling trio"
Could it be thali kren walker union story?
I'd be surprised if it wasn't.
Unfortunately, their getting a hero union means... people are going to have to ascend Walker.
If they want the stat boosts and achievements, at any rate.
Fli dont think it's much of a problem for oldbies as they probably will have a lot of fodders saved up for lb faction
Maybe the new union is for Rowan, Lorsan and Rigby
@spice mulch sound plausible. If it's those three, it will raise a question why it takes so long to release their union story 
When we have unicon anaoki and skiriath?
Hm
Mrpanafonic leaked this
And i absolutely love it
I thought ahe was going to be another satrana or antandra copy in term of physical look
Is she after a fennec fox? I cant tell
Lord Panafonic š
He never lets us down
But ye
This hero looks Savage
Might be my fav mauler in design
š
Not that i know of. This one was leaked a fee hours ago only
Tbh she looks more like a fennec fox than satranna
Seems alot of people do think satranna is a fennec fox
woah she looks beast like
less gooo lilith keep it up with these good designs
let's not jump to conclusions too quickly there lol
you haven't seen her in-game look yet
I'm excited to see her 
Her sprite is once again, similar to a human face
not surprised
the art was so refreshing tho 
Really? That's a big let down
godamnit now i got to go after her with an animated frame as cool as that
i have to yet again postpone gazing
Question: satrana -fenech?
Oh shit they've finally done it. A qt mauler waifu that's actually a furry. Thank you based Lilith
as in the musical "cats" or the cat character from the cartoon "treasure planet"
Her nose on the model
Eh. Yeah sadly her face looks more humanoid in the sprite. Bit of a copout from Lilith. Still veryš„
i need it
@agile tartan her lore?

her pfp is really red
like even its background
i want her so badly
even if shes bad
Pfp?
Same. I love how smug she looks
the animated avatar
Union story?
how can we have the public test ?
@trail jolt you mean test server?
oh yeeaaahh sorry
You can go to apkpure and download the apk file from there. Make sure to dl the one with red icon, not the blue one
okkk but i play afk arena on pc that is the same way to have the server test ?
sorry if you dont really understand me im french but the french channel is not good
the new union lore is extra long huh
@trail jolt im not sure but i think you can download the apk file on your pc and just install as normal, or you can go apkpure.com to install apkpure app, then use apkpure to get afk test server
Upscaled a bit
we already got antandara and satrana with huge assets
Should i once again go on a rant about how satrana and antandra cannot be viewed as furries?
hmm.. how? they look too humanoid?
that's it. They're mimis, not furries
sticking animal ears and tail on a human doesn't make them a furry
Yu

at this point i must reconsider if i should be on lilith side
stop adding more hero for a while
lmao
damn it rowan
he sell painted eggs as golden eggs
also i still questioning about Lorsan and Kaz relationships
"used to be" slams table it's going to be a graveborn
What if it's another cough celes cough
Then I hope that if is a celestial I would like to improve without thinking, because I need to upgrade my celestials, not because I need to work on them, because I like them.
If reaction were enabled i would put a lot of scared laugh emote on your message
okay now that's graveborn
Temple guardian? Could it be refeering to one of the elemental guardian
oh boi
Graveborn
The upcoming hero could be a wilder or a celestial if he turns out to be an elemental guardian.
I dont think the word temple here refers to the temple of light, but the temple/shrine of the element
ye but it says he hase come back stronger
can we have diamonds for free in server test ? to summoning
@lilac ether elemental guardians also have cycle of life and death. Dolly may also be referring to both the old and new elemental guardians
Just my guess to make it more interesting lol
I'm just not sure what the word temple refers to exactly.
Huh... so Walker was only pretending to work with Kren and betrayed him the first chance he got.
As for the disconnect between Thali's sprite and art, Khasos has the exact same disconnect. It's possible Thali and Khasos are the same unidentified race.
Oh wait, now that I look again, it's SLIGHTLY less dramatic a difference...
But a difference nevertheless.
@crystal tapir what? Did i miss that part? I skimmed thru thali lore, but did not see anywhere that said walker betrayed him
Walker and kren planned this, and thali did not know about their plot. I think thats why she said that
I probably misunderstood then.
They planned to rob the gold vault next to this prison. Walker probably pretended to turn in kren, and thali misunderstood
But yeah, see what I mean about the snoots?
Am I the only one who is annoyed at the inconsistencies of design? I thought male maulers are all beast like while female maulers are all humanoid except with ears and tail.
@summer bane 90% of the peep in here share your thought lol
I'm willing to forgive the inconsistencies at least because Ya are artificial. Of course they're going to vary.
Oh nice cause I was kinda mad when I saw the FB announcement enough for me to come here and rant
Like wilders are already inconsistent enough...
Most Wilders are also Ya.
Is that a new bit of lore? Whatās a Ya again?
Alchemical man/animal hybrids crafted by ancient Lightbearers and then exiled by them, in subsequent millennia populating on their own and then splitting over political reasons.
@summer bane ancestor of maulers and wilders before splitting
Ok.
Great way to dive into the furry market when they first thought nekomimi market was the way to go.
Ok rant end. Thanks guys
tbh since the ya are literally experiments done by humans the inconsistencies make sense

To reinforce my guess above. Khazard's lore in cn does mention that elemental guardians serve their own temple.
So the next hero could be a new elemental guardian or perhaps an undead elemental guardian.
It sounds kind cool to me
Well that consistency is just your assumption tho, the core design of maulers is just [human + beast]. The fact that lilith has been trying to play safe by giving all females pretty faces actually annoys a lot of us.
And you can see at least golus has human face since he's a centaur (similar to safiya the sphynx) and anoki has a very humanoid face so the assumption that all males are beast like is false :safiyasmile:
Finally a non-3/4 humain female in pugilists! Ses so pretty!
now that match with her maniac vibe
The eyes hit me different
yes, but the chin changes too, now is humanoid chin
Dammit, if they shorten her snoot length...
They did give her fur speckles, though.
Though I am still convinced there's a species match.
one is a jackal 
and one is a fennec fox (most probably)
well khasos on that voice actor page is jackal warrior or whatever it is, i just remember jackal
bloodsnarl is a yeen and they call him jackal? lmao
Look how much the game changed
From that basic khasos to this
bruh I want the old art, y change the chin
Ugh, after new union story I wanna hug Rowan soooo hard 
Yeah the chin is problem
The only problem was her mouth
They changed that and the eyes and chin
The eyes and mouth are fine but the chin is a bit meh
Lorsan just want Rigby to have healthy life
She was cuter before ;ā;
#545919777907015684 or #memes dude
mk
Satranna isnt a fennec fox, which would make sense if she was but no, shes a red fox for some reason
is rosaline and gwyneth good duo?
Wk
Finally read that new union lore and... oh boy.
I already knew what happened to Reginald because of the Forsaken Family union story, but I wasn't aware that Rowan didn't.

Yeah we knew Reginald died
And both Rowan and Angelo didn't know
They never got the chance to say goodby

I think what's most disturbing about this is how it was the very end of the story. We don't see Rowan's reaction at all, leaving our imaginations to fill in the blanks.
I can only assume that he really, really didn't take it well.
Not furry enough. When in doubt, check the snout
@crystal tapir boy will be devastated when he hears the news of his father murdered.
Not to mention he seems to be a bit mentally unstable on top of how anyone else would react.
Along with how his presumably lifelong goal of getting Reginald's approval was finally in sight, only for it to be suddenly slammed in his face.
In other words, everything he's worked for for the past who-knows-how-long of his life was all for nothing.
noooooooooooooo
it looks so much better with the obvious snout aaaaaaaaaa
I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and say it's perspective/the angle it's pointed/foreshortening.
That would give her a very square muzzle, but that would be better than a human one.
In her sprite her face looks more human like her snout is more flattened than her portrait
A shame they always find a way to make the females look more human
but satrana and antandra actually look good as more-humans, thali looks uncanny
At any rate, here's hopening the fan artists will right this grievous wrong.
since we're on the topic, snout suggestion more than halfway to visible, pls vote (positive :x) if you haven't

torne remake inn quotes
"robbing isn't thieving!" - torne
no he just taking the possessions of somone who doesnt need them anymore since he killed them
"technically it's murder so im not stealing anything"
Its not stealing if the person isnt alive ^^
Three brains are better than none
I mean they have a point
If the person is dead it's not robbing, it's looting
Shes so cute
Oh yeah wish came true, finally more animalistic female
Admittedly not all the way there but
She's cool
"They don't count as stolen if I kill the guy first." - Torne
"That's Skyrim, you idiot." - Porter
Thinking about it, though, they're probably going by viking logic.
"No, no, you see, thieving is being sneaky and going behind the victim's back. That's the coward's way out. You have to steal like a real man, by beating the ever-loving crap out of them face-to-face!"
I mean at least one of Torne's heads thinks that way
Agreed. She's in the category of "hugging her would probably be the last thing you'd ever do but it would probably be worth it".
Is she a frontline?
No she is a stationary backline unit from what I've heard. So benefits from Safiya comps and Desira comps.
so wholesome, thanks afk arena's best pirate š š
Yudiat already posted the translation tho
What was Torns old Inn quote?
idk... i remember that his old inn quotes are like... tell us to leave him alone
Man's probably starting to come to terms with his hatred for his 3 heads
One of them did say in lore that they have a whole eternity to come to terms with it
Also, pirate union when
I still think new hero is a Wilder Golem
What new hero?

you made me check reddit for an inexistent hero
XD
No, the one Dolly is talking about
oh that one
Yeah, I'm Imagining a Mayan Style temple gaurdian
I doubt the wilders who are generally celtic based are gonna have a mayan styled hero
Also where does dolly talk about this?
I dont recall a dollys corner mentioning a new hero other than the recent issue for thali
@bleak hull new patch is already live on test server and dolly new line for the new hero. You can scroll up a bit to read it.
Oh hey,
has a name now.
Estrilda's horse, used to be Baden's horse
New comic was fantastic
Apparently it's a she, Amanda
And of all things Baden remembered it was the horse
very funny
.
Yo this new VoW has a relic shop
Yeah, just like the 2nd anniversary event
why
Rowan and pippa arent knowingly that close in lore
From the VoW. Do both reside in Rustport or do they just travel around being bounty hunters?
They are bounty hunters
Hungry maulers
Well shit i destroyed the maulers
WHYYY, Rigby was rigging all that
Noooo
How do u get him to talk lol
You have to talk to Rigby x2, then go to the other village and you'll talk with Rosa
Ok thx
More reason why LBs is just bad and lilith are trying to drag maulers reputation down
that's been a thing for a long while
Lol
Honestly, considering how popularized it's become on the commercials, I don't think beer is that much of a problem.
And jeez, if they try to raise the rating from that, just call it something like rootbeer (for you Soda Dungeon fans out there: Lootbeer works too)
every vow involving them ever
...in china?
Didn't know that Rigby was this much of a prick
It wasn't really Rigby.. They're just placeholders for other unimportant folks in Rustport
"satrana" was a mom in the time traveling voyage if you judged by the art lol
Just remember society in different cultures are insanly different, beer may not need censoring in countries like america or countries in Europe but for example in china it might not be very suitable
Sometimes they remove a hero's accessories so the image is more versatile. Nemora doesn't always have her staff, Mirael's fireball becomes a diamond, etc
Not to mention Ainz has to wear that New Year's mask of his in the Chinese version. Because skeletons offend the Communist party or something? I don't know.
Nah communism has nothing to do with skeletons. It's just something to do with fear of affecting children mind ;\ which is pretty much bs
Fair, I'm just too used to American society & luxuries.
wait... in the union story, Lorsan has been scammed but he still =)
he didn't know he has been scammed
Wasn't he participating in the scamming with the hairpin thing?
Tfw you realize this bunbun can probably track these scammers down by listening to the wind for their conversation/tinkling of his coins or asking the wind spirits. And also capable of stirring up a concentrated mini downburst to tear you to shreds.
'They-took-my-coin, I-took-their-lives' Lorsan
Beware the quiet and nice ones indeed
I love Lorsan so much after reading his union lore
Imagine what happens when this soft bunbun attacs
But that he forages and meditates, its so precious
wind are calm and harsh as the same
bet he do yoga and meditation
and healthy diets
btw.. what's wilder meals look like? fruits, vegetables, fishs or some meat for some carnivore Wilder like Ira, Kaz,
is Grovo carnivore?
Most turtles are omnivores. Some are herbivores and some are carnivores, though.
maybe Grovo could eat some fish and fruits
It'd be a bit awkward if they introduce a fish hero into the game.
Or maybe it wouldn't. Some fish eat other fish.
small fishs meals
š
they eat organic
Wolves and foxes eat rabbits
Fish


He serves as a story teller of the game and it seems to remain that way. I highly doubt that he'll ever be a playable hero.
Next hero has to be definitely a graveborn
Tim Simmons was hired as a voice actor again
Or a celestial
Has anyone ever wondered how Alna became celestial? Was she originally a mortal that got ascended like zapharael, or was she just originally something without consciousness like Orthros, flora, athalia... we know the origin of all of the celestial heroes except for Alna's
Where do we learn he wrote it all
@sudden thicket not all but a lot of stuff were told by hawke. And i just realized gretel hawke is a female lol
Ok
Well she went from a god to a demi god so if she was ascended, the god who ascended her couldnt make up their mind but that is unlikely, also most celestials who were ascended were done so for the purpose of war, and alna brought winter to Espiria for the first time which sounds like a time far before the war so i would originally assume she was born a god
@bleak hull very good point. Consider she was the one that triggered flora's birth, and flora haf almost destroyed orthros before he gained consciousness, Alna is as old as she could be. However, what bothers me is that all of the other celestial heroes have very clear background, but for alna, we have to do the guessing game.
Also as for how alna and other god being demoted to demigod, it is because of the plummet of Sanctum, home of the celestial, onto the ground.
Alna was always a god
@bleak hull the new celestial tower's lore clearly states that. And it was explained further in the background story for the celestial faction in cn that I have shared in here a while ago.
Why is the temple of light so mean like in rosalenes story they just like yeet her family
Its particularly the devotes at the temple of ascension who are the cruelest of the entire order of light
Who else did Mr Tim Simmons voice btw?
Izold, Mezoth and Orthoros
he did all the male hypos actually
Think of them as the spanish inquisition
I personally I think just the unfortunately harsh devotes at the temple of ascension since theyre the only ones said to be negatively described
And the good ones aren't exactly fighters.
belinda?
Yes
tw death
...
anything about... funeral traditions and ritual?
There isnt much about funerals in lore apart from the fact graveborns dont have them
I thought about some Ferronn angst... that involved "funeral"
Oh yeah, dont they get taken to the core's cradle
@bleak hull how could you forget that... We even had a heated debate on where the cradle core is on the world map, remember? 
Ferronn is a name of a ship, like Thaden
Lol. That flew over my head. Why the ship though? 
angst and due to lack of stuff and idea
Anyone notice the similarity between Thali and Mirael? Both are pyromancer. The two of them act recklessly and love to destroy stufff They also love to stand up for their friends.
Well one of them uses their destructiveness in a helpful way while the other uses it in an illegal way
But i can see the similarities none the less
i see more similarities between satrana and mirael
mainly because they both use the same incantations for aome of their abilities
like magnior tormenum
Satrana and mirael?? The only similarities i see with them is fire magic and that incantation other than that i would say theyre nothing like eachother
Thali and mirael are pyromancers but satrana uses a different kind of magic
Perhaps a specific type of voodoo magic since the maulers are well known for that magic
Its not the same type of magic
Pyromancy is different to twirling heat crystals
Ive said this before a while ago, pyromancers are born with the ability and can conjure fire from their bare hands, satrana was taught her magic which is harnassing the power to release fire from her crystals when she wants and how much she wants to release
In her lore its says she is taught it at the temple of seers and her sig item says the crystals hold fire
I find it weird that they only imply Warek was the strongest opponent Tidus ever faced, yet don't acknowledge him by name.
Meanwhile with Warek himself, his story was that he was fighting all his life as a means to cope with his entire Bear clan being overthrown and used for slave labor, no mention of Tidus at all.
One's a bloodthirsty warrior who treats battles as a passion as his brain snapped, the other treats it like a viable job away from his lowly ranks because he snapped when he was younger.
And yet in-lore, they're the strongest ones to fight in The Pits.
TLDR: I'm annoyed they don't have a Union together yet, one as The Immovable Object, the other as the Unstoppable Force
@wanton tangle tidus was mentioned in warek cn lore though. The eng version butchered that part
Cn?
Well alright, I'll chalk that part as a mistranslation. I'm still sad that with their backstories, they have yet to get a Union.
@wanton tangle older lores are much more detailed in chinese compare to eng version. Lilith hired some shitty translator in the early part of the game and
I am to assume Walker is Warek in this case.
Because I find a cowboy fighting either a werewolf or a bear impossible, let alone LB Walker
Yes, it's warek. Auto translator is not very accurate on the naming
All good then.
Still sucks the English lore got butchered
They got fascinating stories together, and it almost makes me wanna build them
Cn lore also stated that warek's brother was the former chieftain of their bear clan, while in eng lore, the chieftain was some other unknown bear.
So that was his brother!
So there's some inconsistency that may interest you
And I tried reading up through Brutus's lore to find out if he killed Baden...
So he left a "dirt clad human" alive, no mention of the fellow being dead.
And meanwhile Baden was killed by "a mauler" and that same mauler ate Thane's arm
Yes, brutus killed baden and cut off thane's arm
Hate when it gets all vague by the end-mid parts of their stories
Honestly though, it would've been better if Tidus was the one landing all the killing blows. Brutus seems more dignified than the guys in The Pits.
It matches up his nature perfectly as a savage mauler that mangles and tears opposers
Tidus is a sort of gladiator, he fights where he is more familiar with that being The Pits, Brutus is apart of the mauler military so it makes sense hes the one fighting
Him being more dignified doesnt slim his combat skills any less
By gladiator i just mean he reminds me of one since they both fight in arenas
Prince of Persia at the inn
he tell the sad truth
I'm aware. Gladiators tend to actually just accentuate fighting over all else. Not out of fight or flight, but out of sheer adrenaline and "fun".
It just happens to be that Tidus emits some joy out of doing his deeds, and it's kind of neat.
The way Warek handled it, as his own gladiator self no less, made it seem like Tidus finally had to train harder just to land an actual punch to Warek
The first time they fought, Tidus literally ran out of energy to land any of his sharper blows.
It got so bad, he was breathless when the match was drawing to a close, as Warek was plenty full of energy to keep on fighting.
I hear sometimes Brutus attends these hideous combats, mostly because it's exciting to witness warriors fighting for the sake of it.
It's not that I demean Brutus, it's just that compared to Pit Fighters, he seems far more reserved in drawing his blades for death.
...Yet he himself enjoys basically Colosseum-level matches.
tf he means mortals? Is this MF a god?
Merlin's dialogue fits him so well!
He counts himself in,
But like:
Time is selfless to mortals
that's nice Merlin
someone has the dolly speech about the new heroes in Tavern
mountain guardians
I hope my guess is right that the new hero is an elemental guardian. That would leave 2 left: fire and nature
Satrana being 15 is an interesting choice.
this looks unique
gives me good vibes about this guy
he might be good
Guardian alway stay with their duty
@trail kite not really. Look at Khazard
Can you please send me the link as well? I wish to see respen in his full glory
Either celestial, hypogean or graveborn
if they release one more hero Iām gonna snap
why not wilder if its described as protector of the mountains
i lean to wilder/cele
Imo the new hero is more likely to be anything but a graveborn. Wilder > hypo > celes
from the silhouette hw doesnt seem wicked enough to bw hypo
could be a resurrected stone warden as gb but doesnt look corrupt either so im sticking with just cele and wilder
He just gonna be another wilder. Simple 
Gb faction already has 15 heroes, while wilder only has 14
The silhouette looks like a chess piece
Celestial.
The wilder territory has no mountains
Probably a stupid question. I was gonna ask if it the other elemental guardian is Ulmus, but you said nature, so its probably some icey character like Khazard?
Dollys corner mentioned it died so im assuming either celestial or graveborn
@magic flicker ulmus is not an elemental guardian.
Again it said it died so i dont think its an elemental guardian since they reincarnate when they die
There is not yet an nature elemental guardian in the game
So who already in the game is an elemental guardian? Is it Khazard, or is it someone else like Seirus?
@bleak hull i have interpreted that part before. Since each elemental guardian has a life and death cycle, as soon as one die another one will be born, so dolly's dialog could just be referring to that process.
Respen and seirus
Khazard is an ex elemental guardian
@magic flicker respen is wind elemental guardian. Seirus is water. Also khazard is the predecessor of seirus, he was supposed to die but was "hypogeanized" by Gouldos and broke the life and death cycle of a guardian
Okay, I thought Khazard was one, I vaguely remember reading his bio when I rolled him. I don't have the others (Ulmus/Seirus/Respen) yet though so I didn't read their bios yet.
Thanks!
So that would make the 5 elements Water, Wind, Fire, Nature, and uh... I guess for this next hero, Earth?
Yeah earth or mountain. The game uses the term "mountain" so we can just go with that
Alright, cool. And I can see from the above conversation that the Mountain Guardian's faction is still up for speculation.
celestial?
Elements in the game and their elemental guardians
Water (supports): Seirus
Wind (mages): Respen
Fire (warriors):
Earth (tanks):
Nature (rangers):
@nova marten could be. We cant be 100% sure on the new hero's faction
Everyone must have thought i was talking gibberish when i said the new hero could be an elemental guardian 2 weeks ago. Lol
All hail chinese lore 
I wish to have this plz and thank you lilith 
In that one PoT. It calls the nature elemental guardian 'wood' instead of nature which never made sense to me but now i know it really meant nature that makes way more sense
@gritty trail that look strikingly similarto the silhouette
Right??? Alexander in AFK Arena, my wishful thinking
@bleak hull lol we share so many similar thought. I also once asked in here if it was a wood or nature when talking about the 5 elements
All I think is that the signs are there:
Guardian
Dead
Golem/Homunculus(?)
Corrupted from original life and purpose
Very protective of a region no sane mortal would cross
His horns are just absurdly stretched out, both on arms and head. Yet he's like a gigantic stone pillar of death.
Im guessing its from the snowy regions of Espiria since theres alot of mountains with sacred temple surrounding it
Well yeah, and the Lost Halls were once a sacred place, only given into unholy Void energies.
Unlike whats probably going on with The Guardian's story, this guy was made to be a Paladin in a Golem's body. The problem is the spell got corrupted so the Paladin's soul is just floating while the Void Entity just filled out the rest of it.
He was meant to kill Oryx, but instead is built to kill the rest of the Realm.
Just like how Graveborns are most times reawakened in a more corrupt state than before.
Baden fighting his zombie urges, Thoran being brain-dead long enough that he forgot himself, and I think Niru forgot he had a family when he revived.
Final fantasy collab when?
Dragon ball collab 
You dont need the heroes to read their bios
Just go to portraits
ye some ppl that it might be dimensional
i forgot the dude's name but looks similiar
but i dont think it will dimensional since merlin is still up
and nothing about that in files
i feel either celestial or wilder
Zero chance to be a dimension lore wise.
Yea
not too far off tbh
same >:(
What if he turns out an lb?
I support thee, totally believed that
Well, in Chinese culture ig wood metal fire wind and water are 5 elements
metal wood water fire earth
No wind
so def not chinese elements haha
not another walker

Hopefully he doesn't suck š
he doesnt look like
still waiting for our almight hero god ultimate holy loyal teacher baker doctor astronaut Mr.Panafonic to reveal us the full shape of this new hero using his ultimate legendary skills of datamining 
@agile tartan isnt he retired from the game already? Man was so resourceful with his leak.
ye i know
he still data mines tho
but i do appreciate his help on finding the new heros
but if he is retired he shouldnt really stretch himself
eventually will see the hero
Honestly im leaning towards wilder tank or a celestial type similar to orthoros
Graveborn could work too but we had desira recently so that probably isnt it
Lore wise why does lucretia turn back into a human after sheās defeated?
The explanation for that is simple, it isnt lore wise at all
Its her gameplay
Lore wise she hasnt turned back into a human since she became a hypo but her turning into a human after being defeated in gamplay is just a nice idea for her defeat animation
Wilder Tank already has 2 tanks, and they both suck.
Celestial Tank is a plausibility, considering they only got Orthos.
Judging by it saying he used to be a fine guardian, it's leaning towards Hypo or Graveborn. He's been corrupted/wanting vengeance, if we take what Dolly says seriously.
After all, a while after Peggy, we got Walker. I can see the Graveborn possibility be hit.
Yeah, the thirst is real. I want to see this guy without the silhouette. Badly.
I'll take anything as long as it's not another Walker
He's a fat boi, so I can definitely tell he ain't a Walker.
However, I worry he's an evil offensive Ulmus. Like sure he hits hard, but it's deliberate and slow.
I mean
Tony already gave implication to it being celestial
Given he reacted to someone saying it may be celestial with the pippogies emote
Thought you meant the non staff toni and was like "wait what he knows?" Lol
It's a shame Walker has a nice design but shit abilities
Those pecs are wasted on him
I want a Walker rework like Raine
Just my phone rn?@viscid steppe
Screw walker thane rework and buff when????!
that's me
so ye it does seem to be a celestial from what tonyy's showing
so...the magician hat dude name Wake
idk
Celestial faction... that makes it very interesting lore wise.
i always thought he would be a holy like white and gold guardian
that still isnt confirmed but i feel its like that
also name titus doesnt really fit him honestly
even if tidus didnt exist
i feel he wouldve got a better name
Cyclist should be walkers cool uncle
when the dev ran out of name idea
they will take the name of a character and change em
morael example
athalia > thali
mirael > morael
tidus > titus
walker x useless
oh a real name
ye cyclist looms good
walker x wheelchair

age out of walker, enter the wheelchair era
I had to look twice when i thought these were ships 
when the dev lazy to name the new heroes
example like morael is just mirael with an "O"
These names sound quite different in chinese though
This is the new hero's name... it sound like tee-bee-luee, and tidus sounds like tee-das. So the similarity is only exclusive to the eng version
I also wonder why lilith named the new hero titus... it doesn't sound very pleasant to me lol
Tiberius should be the new hero name
Tiberius also a name of a Roman Emperor
That's the Chinese name
Tiberius/Tiderius/Titerius ā Awesome, spectacular, marvelous, amazing, showstopping
Titus š½ Tidus' long lost cousin
If Titus isn't shirtless I'm going to commit geometry
What if it's the silhouette that tricks us and he's in fact skinny legend

Hendrik
Hendrik, rigby, niru and angelo (dad in future)
Zaphrael too
Oh how could i forget zaph. Worst father imo
Nooo you shouldn't kill your son, you're hot

He is dust now
Just like Owain
Hendrik best dad. Would love to see a cinematic scene depicting his union story.
Best dads in the game are Hendrik and Niru, for taking responsibility on his actions
Oh, there is aslo Baron Vedan, adopted father of silvina and isa.
i meaaaaaaaaaans he kind of doomed daimon to eternal pain when poor kid could have just been at rest
Imagine dying because you diarrhea'd so hard, and instead of taking a final nap, your dad being a zombie jackass decided to revive you for his weird death-fetish.
And you're STILL sore.
I suppose the only thing redeeming is that he made his doll into an extremely powerful ally now. Allegedly
i feel like that's more shemira's contribution tho
unless it's stated somewhere niru deliberately worked on that
a temple guardian


What's the problem?
new heroes are constantly being released
if they keep doing this im not sure new and casual players will actually stick with this game
@obtuse coral got smth for you to remove
in #afk-fan-art and #545919777907015684 too
Thanks @lament meadow
._.?
so new gb pirate summmoner?
Why flora doesn't have yellow light eyes ,Like other gods ?
Oh I get it, like Hodgkin's!
Because this game's kinda getting cancer.
I've never been so disappointed in my time on this game we just got a celestial brick wall that only, really functions as that. It hit hard, it live hard, it hard.
And Titus is not even special to back it all up.
Not THE FORGOTTEN SENTINEL! Not a Marbled Collosus possessed to kill kingdoms, not even another elemental.
Just a pile of pillars with pubes.

Graveborn army time
Fake god ?
She is still a Celestial. She's just weaker
And the amber eye color just looks nice with the celestial color scheme
Flora has light green eyes
Flora lore is basically just her failing to be other celestial's apprentice
I am suprised ansiel decided to revive Titus.
Is his lore actually decent?
Lilith has been releasing heroes at the same rate since the beginning, so I don't see any problem with that.
In fact, lilith has been a little more aggressive at releasing new heroes in 2019 compare to 2021 
that's when the game lacked content
releasing a bunch of heroes, with heroic rewards and fabled realm implemented just make people feel exhausted
not to mention the way they hinted new heroes is so clear that you just got a new one and dolly already talked about the next one right away and it's suffocating. also people have been asking for old adjustment first but most of new things they have been releasing are just new heroes
maybe it's time they span out the hero release schedule.
Honestly, hero reworks>>>>new heroes
So many heroes need a rework man
Most notably Wanker, Thane, Baden, Ulmus, even Orthoros because for a celestial, he sucks
In a combat way yes she is weak, but in her own way she has her strengths other celestials dont have
They mentioned that in lore, I think she's neat.
Where did you find this?š¤
Walker shouldn't* exist
be careful ariii, some would claim mezoth shouldnt exist
Now get him to 309
What 
@spiral estuary from origins of gb lore published on afk official fb page.
Guess we're getting Sailor Jerry aboard the GB Train
I just hope he's not trash like the last 3 guys we got.
Blessed
King daddy
Gay
Thoran notice him, please

And they were roomates.
Seems kinda gey to me
...i knew he died for thoran but i still didn't expect that one
grez: i freaking died, this is NOT moving too fast i'm trying to touchdown ok
Poor izold . He is silas's toy
silas kinda cool tho
Silas is a bro, he knew Izold would've just killed himself otherwise
Grez...is weird.
But I love him for looking like Hades.
Grez is weird and I love him 
grez is gay(homo(sexual))
(not straight)
gay
queer
the opposite of heterosexual
(my point is, hes gay)
(he likes men)
It would be horrifying to think he had a crush since he was a child, to the damn King no less.
Remember he was a child prodigy for the Elite Guard. As soon as he graduated, he got the highest ranks among the king's men.
What??
Where did you get this 
The in game lore
He was training since childhood because his parents said the King was like the best place to get employment
And that's an easy button right there.
Hate mobile discord, but hate uncultured swine more.
what
someone didn't read the lore, Claux
No point in arguing with idiots, absolutely no point in it 
lol i read every heroes lore as theyre released
i interpreted it as young teen for when he started training
like 11-12
Interesting, but to me, 14-16 is a child regar-oh that's worse
;-;
He just admired Thoran(?)
but nobody said he had a crush on thoran as a child anyways
We just joking a little with the lore in here, Raidana
im just saying hes gay gay homosexual hay
Yeah none of it was funny
Made yourself seem pretentious and dumb
;-;

Hardly fun
Not as droll as Titus being a lame guard
wait is tiberius' lore out yet
It was leaked here a while ago, but it went like this:
I think he's on test rn so probably
oh i never saw it
"I love birds, this earth is nice. Oh shit, demons. I'm dead. Oh hey, Hesphaestus's knockoff revived me, and I think I saw God. Woah, I'm a giant robot."
Here!
thanks jin
Ty Jin 

And Raidana 


This is probably the best way to describe it all.
Yeah, he's one of the less-engaging additions for sure.
But you know what they say. One that works is on the grave of a hundred that fall flat.
Let's see... how I'd rate every hero that's been added since my joining:
- Zaphrael/Lucretia: One of the strongest backstories.
- Pippa: Bestest bby. One of my favorite heroes in the entire game.
- Silas: I got a chuckle out of how crazy he was to be THAT prepared, but not much memorable about him.
- Mortas: Didn't land with me, but I'm holding out until heroes with connections to him expand on what his deal is a bit.
- Ainz/Albedo: Got me interested enough to check out the show, at least.
- The Frozen Mother---ker: I don't think I've ever actually read her lore, come to think of it.
- Joker/Makoto: Disappointing. I think the game assumes everyone is already intimately familiar with Persona 5, and even then, they're just kinda there.
- Kren: The weakest of the durri, but a durri nevertheless, and as more of him shows up, he is getting a bit more likable.
- Elucard: His story is pretty much exactly the same as Cecilia's.
- Frickin Leo: My only reaction to him is "why is he here?" Though like Mortas, he'll probably get more interesting as connections build.
- Peggy: Way more likable than I expected.
- Raku: Wasn't expecting him to be out-rascalled by Peggy. Overall, I like him.
- The Hero Formerly Known As Prince: I appreciate that they tied his story into what was already established. They need to do that with more dimensionals.
- Desira: Her design doesn't do it for me, but her backstory got my attention.
- Walker:
- Merlin: Not really sure what to think, TBH.
- Thali: All of my yes.
- Titus: Android 16 meats Conkeldurr.
I didnt bother with walker lore
Also, alna's lore is ok but the video for alna's lore

Akira/Makoto: They're cool, never watched or played Persona but I heard of them. Queen has nice stuns and Joker looks cool (skills are awesome.)
Eluard: cool immunity dude (he looks like Cecilia's wife.
Kren: awesome bombing dude (I thought he was shit before but that was when I was super early in the game)
Respen: he has awesome skills and stuff (design is one of my favorites tbh, dazzling)
Raku: Cool raccoon that does so much damage and carried in WT! (Nice friends with Pippa and shes awesome too)
Peggy: annoying at first but I seem to like her now tbh. Nice skills that do damage in LT.
Morael: Honestly, she's pretty. I like galaxies so there's that. Never read her lore tho.
Leo: I feel like he can be used in bosses for his debuffing and stuff. Like his portrait art.
Desira: she is also pretty and loved her lore.
W*lker : 
Merlin: awesome support, he is super cool and nice healing.
Thali: helped so much in MT, honestly I love her, crazy yet awesome!
Titus:
Hey at least Walker still better then whatever Joker and Queen have as "lore" 
They both stole my heart, can't have shit in AFK Arena
I really liked how well Ainz's story integrated his anime backstory with the format of a crossover in a phone game and how it's a little heartbreaking too. He's so lonely š„ŗ
If only they put in the same effort for Joker/Queen
I have a sneaking suspicion that nothing could be said about them for copyright reasons.
Sort of like how Cloud in Smash Bros. could only have the bare minimum of details about him for ages.
obviously, Atlus is ungodly strict with collabs
Also she's not hot and she either dies on your team easily or she kills your ass with that weird blue Sun.
We don't count that one Voyage where they obviously made her OP.
Meanwhile, Mirael is superior.
For celestials who symbolise unity and harmony, their inn dialog is, um, interesting
sibling bickering
10/10 summary
Poor Leo
Nooooo
underrated Leofric
There's reasons I call him "Frickin' Leo" besides the lame pun. 
Leofric lore lowkey seems like vedan's lore with the whole "nobleman with dangerous dark secret" thing
Yes
Too bad he doesn't adopt any kids.
Same!!
Quite a bit of it is left up to interpretation, it's fun
And generally the way it's written as a diary from the perspective of a crew member is very cool 

Thank you for sharing
Is the background the same for the Hypogeans? Doesnāt seem like Ansiel would want to share this new power with the Hypos
@rancid terrace not sure about that since i don't have any 1 star ascended hypo on test server 
Ah, I forgot that you need one to view the backstory. Lol I donāt have a 1 star ascended hypo on global server
. Hopefully someone can answer this after the patch
Give me 10 stragaze
Cream
Eluard
iron man
Leofric mvp 
So Leofric isn't just bumming around with humans but actually is helping the other hypos. Good for him and his dog
Thank you for always sharing screenshots in this chat! 
I think...
that's totally Leofric
Titus is the embodiment of the "i sleep"/"woke" meme
titus go "You spin me right round, baby right round" then sleep
Someone in the main chat said washing machine mode and i couldnt agree more
Adam warlock*
Is the enteral engraving the same for all celestial and hypos or different for each one? Like celestial all have same for their faction or is it different? Vise verse for the hypos
In Eternal Engravings does every Celestial/Hypogean hero have their own symbol or is the tree looking one limited to Celestial and the arrow one to Hypogeans
Havent got a single ascended Hypogean so rip me I guess
it looks like they might each have their own symbol...heres mezoths engraving
LB church officials
I told u guys Leofric OP
Perhaps
He is
Leofric can shape-shifting into a human
Yeah, it is when using bad translation
éæč«¾å„
éæčÆŗå„
The first is in traditional and the second one is simplified chinese
Anuochi
i thought there will be new mauler or something ugh
Now usually I don't like having many celehypos in a few months but
Titus looks really awesome
...which part?
The pillar part obviously
I am fond of the other pillar part myself
So umm... any thoughts about what kren and lucretias interaction might imply? ->_-> [kren is a bad influence]
Naw nothing bad
Btw I just read the traveling trio lore and towards the end rowans father got murdered. I wonder if Grez killed him
@undone umbra nope. Rowan's father was murdered while having tea with the financial minister, so i guess it's the work of some unknown noble man. The closest wild thing that we might draw a connection is that Oscar killed rowan's father, but that is unlikely to happen.
Ah ok
I'd suppose it's like
Shied pattern for tanks
Bow and arrow for rangers
Circular mandala for mages
Tree for supports
Hammer for warriors
I personally think Leofric had something to do with it
It might have been Kane, but I'm not sure.
I don't think Kane would be as subtle as leofric.
He threatens her to bomb her basement bc she hasnt got 3 mythic furniture equipped
I am more suprised Lucretia decided to give up.
well she knows he's not a fool that would come at her alone
Lucky lucky
this would've been so good in like 2019(if real p pull)
also wrong channel
Wait , is that a fĆŗcking six pull?
is that rven possible
Sorry all
np
How do know?
Magic perhaps?
magician
Also this is the last message regard this topic, if you want go to #classic-chat
ah okay
Let's change the topic to lore.
We have already discussed the strongest hero.
But who is the weakest hero in lore.
Dreaf
If we narrow it down to the commons, then dreaf would be the weakest since its the only one with weapons or armour
Dreaf is the weapon
.... what do you mean by that?
afk arena: the only game where a maid has more combat rating than a man in full armor
not by stats and abilities but the appereance and story
...well. There are more games that take that concept to a ridiculous extreme 
You know like how ortheros and the evil ortheros are considered the strongest heroes lore wise? It's kinda like that.
Also, yeah, I can see that. Don't really know about any others who might be weaker than him
But what about walker
We talking about in lore. Not in real world. Although it would be a bit embarrassing if walker lost to dreaf.
Hmm idk
By evil otheros do u mean zolrath
Yup.
investigations 
@dark heath
If we go weakest by lore, then probably either Rowan, Peggy or Rosaline
Even weaker than dreafs?
Theyre certainly arent the weakest
never weak
PIRATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Gb pirateeeeeeeeee
I NEEDDDDDDDDDDD
Need GB
So it should be Hodgkin right?
torne's homie looks thicc š©
This seems like Haarman tbh, hopefully it's him š
rowan has a stick, peggy has magic scrolls that summon armored men, rosaline has broomstick
why does no one agree that the Forsaken Family has one of the coolest union backstories
Wrong channel, post memes in #memes
You described them in the worst way possible
Theyre all supports so their strength cant be told as physical strength
And yes dreaf is just a walking flower
I mean
Dreaf doesn't have much significance in lore
so only way to assume his strength is through ingame abilities
Dreaf is better than Rowan
Peggy's magic scroll is only for healing
I think kids would still be better than a flower.
I sometimes think of this but who would be the richest hero lore wise?
At first some would think peggy but i doubt she has any actual money of her own
And it wouldnt be an graveborns, hypos or celestials
By best guesses though are safiya, skriath and estrilda
God Safiya she is full of her self and so prissy
That is exactly what makes her good.
Rowan definitely
I thought safiya is an exiled queen though
Her union story with ankhira was about her asking the arachnids for help. The ending doesn't really show whether or not she got her throne back
@barren haven her eng lore is not very clear about that part, but her lore in cn does state that she regained the highest position in her clan .
Oh ok then
I do like her tho
Safiya's thirst for power is endless. I once mentioned that she might be the one that is responsible for the assassination of the former grand chieftain of the mauler tribes
Power greed
Why havenāt they made an Edwin hero yet? Heās a huge component in many Graveborn storiesš
That'd be seriously sad lore wisr, thoran and grez became gb just to kill him and then he's now gb (since lore wise he's dead) and so their sacrifice becomes useless and the battle is now for eternity and no revenge for thoran or grez
But itād be so cool for the whole cast to be in the gameš
But you know youāre right, I suppose it wouldnāt make that much sense
He's canonically dead, and essentially you can't be turned into a graveborn once your body is basically gone and spirit laid to waste over time
Man thatās disappointing, heās such an essential character to a lot of plot
yeah but he's dead at the end of it 
let me dreammmm
@gritty trail edwin was brought back to life though.
