How to Get Soul Sigils and Acorns to Ascend Heroes

In AFK Journey, leveling up your heroes is a vital part of progression, and it requires acquiring two important resources: Hero Soul Sigils and Faction Acorns. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to obtain these valuable materials:

1. Recruitment

Opening invitation letters is the quickest way to earn Faction Acorns and Hero Soul Sigils. You can create a hero wishlist to prioritize the heroes you want to ascend, ensuring you receive the right materials. While invitation letters are a primary source, it’s recommended to earn them through gameplay rather than spending diamonds to purchase them.

2. Legend Trial

Engage in Legend Trial battles to significantly boost your collection of Faction Acorns. This battle mode serves as an excellent source of these essential materials.

3. Nobel Path

Similar to a battle pass, the Nobel Path offers various rewards, including invitation letters and Faction Acorns. By collecting 60 soul stones, you can create a Hero Soul Sigil. Consider upgrading to the premium Nobel Path for even more rewards if you plan to play long-term.

4. Dream Store

Visit the Dream Store to purchase Hero Soul Sigils for epic heroes using Dream Fragments, which can be earned in the Dream Realm battle mode.

5. Arena Store

The Arena Store allows you to purchase Hero Soul Sigils, particularly for epic heroes that are rare in invitation letters. Accumulate arena coins by aiming high in the rankings to access this store.

6. General Store

While the general store may offer Faction Acorns and invitation letters, it’s advisable not to spend diamonds here. There are more efficient ways to utilize your in-game currency.

Each of these methods provides a unique opportunity to gather the necessary materials for hero ascension. Plan your strategy accordingly to maximize these opportunities and progress efficiently.

Hero Ascension Strategy

Once you’ve collected enough Hero Soul Sigils and Faction Acorns, head over to the Resonating Hall to upgrade your heroes. Select the hero you wish to ascend and proceed with the ascension process.

Keep in mind that each hero belongs to a specific faction and requires Faction Acorns unique to their faction for ascension. For example, heroes like Valen and Lucius both belong to the Lightbearers faction, necessitating careful planning and resource allocation.

As a beginner, it’s essential to avoid distributing Faction Acorns indiscriminately across multiple heroes. Strategize and prioritize which heroes to invest in to prevent resource shortages when ascending preferred heroes for your team.

For additional guidance on hero selection and prioritization, consult the AFK Journey tier list to identify top-performing heroes in the game.

By following these tips and strategies, you’ll efficiently gather the necessary resources and ascend your heroes effectively in AFK Journey. Unlock new abilities and strengthen your team to conquer challenges and dominate in battles!
