In the AFK Journey, each time a hero is upgraded to Mythical+, he will get an exclusive weapon. Each exclusive weapon is unique for each hero. Once you unlock the hero’s exclusive weapon, you are able to upgrade it using essences. The problem is that obtaining essences, especially temporal and twilight, is extremely hard.
Now, combining the rarity of essences, the number of heroes in the game, and the amount of essence that you need for each upgrade, you will clearly see that it is impossible to upgrade Exclusive Weapon on each hero. That is why we created this list, so you know on what level you should upgrade exclusive weapons for each hero.
To know the optimal level of an exclusive weapon for each hero, you can simply read what bonuses they will get. Most heroes will get the majority of bonuses on level 5 and level 10 exclusive weapons. Upgrading further will only slightly increase those bonuses. When it comes to priorities, you want to focus on heroes that are the best in the game and that you are using all the time. You are basically wasting essence if you are upgrading exclusive weapons on heroes that do not perform well or that you do not use.
