Honor Duel Battle Mode Explained

Honor Duel is a Fair Play Battle Mode in AFK Journey. Irrespective of their rank and power, players start duels with random heroes. Following each battle, they can acquire additional heroes, Ascend their crew, or enhance their capabilities with Equipment. The player with nine consecutive victories wins the tournament.

Participating in Honor Duels requires “Honor Duel Letters.” Each player receives five free invitations per day. But if they want more, they must exchange some for gold.

You are rewarded for each separate win you accumulate, making Honor Duels a lucrative source of Diamonds, Gold, and Invite Letters. For the first three victories, you earn 200 Diamonds and 40,000 Gold. Upon achieving 12 victories, your rewards increase to 300 Diamonds, along with an additional 200 Diamonds and 40,000 Gold. Finally, upon amassing 15 wins, you unlock two Invite Letters.

As long as you have sufficient HP, you can continue the Duels at your desired pace. You have the option to leave the Battle Mode after each fight and return when you're ready. However, if you wish to end a session entirely, you must tap the "Forfeit" button in the main menu.

Honor Duel Rules

The rules are as follows:

Each player has three HP. (Once they lose three times, they’re disqualified.)
Nine wins are required to win the tournament.
Two Dupes of a Hero Ascend them to Legendary.
Six Dupes of a Hero Ascend them to Mythic.
Mythic is the highest tier in Honor Duels.
Each Hero can equip only one Equipment.
Arenas are subject to change after each battle.
Players reveal Heroes in two rounds. (Initially, they place three Heroes. After sixty seconds, they play the final two crew members.)
All matches use Auto Battle. (Players cannot intervene in the fights.)

How to Win Honor Duels

To win Honor Duels, you must capitalize on Honor Badges. These Badges are obtained by defeating enemies and enable you to unlock Heroes, upgrade the crew, and purchase Equipment. Utilizing different Heroes for each battle results in earning more Badges. However, the base reward remains consistent for both winners and losers.

Here are five tips for winning all Honor Duels:

Reveal the weakest early. In the first 60 seconds, show your weakest troops. It’s best to drop defensive allies to trick your opponent. Save your top fighters for the last formation round.
Unlock Wilders as soon as possible. Your team needs a Support character. Get more Wilder cards so you can draw a Healer early.
Exploit Equipment. Getting the right charm for each Hero should be your priority. There are game-changer items that can transform regular characters into undefeatable beasts.
Buy Dupes first. Instead of unlocking new cards, prioritize Ascending the main crew. (You need six Dupes of each Hero to get a Mythic.)
Refresh the Store regularly. Once you have accumulated over 100 Honor Badges, it becomes advantageous to reroll shop items for three Badges before entering a new match.
