AFK Arena Laios Guide: Introduction
AFK Arena Laios, also known as the “Monster Enthusiast,” is a unique hero. He belongs to the Dimensional Faction, distinguishing him from heroes of other native factions. As a Strength-type hero, Laios is categorized as a Warrior and primarily serves a Control role within team compositions.
AFK Arena Laios Guide: Skills
AFK Arena Laios possesses a set of skills that focus on control, sustain, and team support, often enhancing his synergy with Marcille.
Houndstooth
AFK Arena Laios mimics a dog’s stance, frightening and immobilizing enemies directly in front of him. This stance lasts up to 3.5 seconds, during which Laios cannot take any other actions. While active, he becomes immune to control effects, takes 60% less damage, and gains 60 Buffer points, though he cannot generate Energy during this time. If Marcille is present on the team, using Houndstooth grants her the “Loyal Hound” effect, increasing her Attack Rating by 40%. At level 2, the damage reduction increases to 80%, and at level 3, the Buffer gained increases to 80 points.
Monster Cuisine
At the start of battle, Senshi sets up a cooking pot that completes a meal every 8 seconds. These meals heal all allies for an amount equal to 200% of Laios’s Attack Rating. For six seconds after consuming a meal, allied heroes gain a 30% boost to their Attack Rating and receive 20 extra Energy when healed, which can trigger up to ten times per meal. If Marcille is on the team, she restores 50 additional Arcana for each meal she consumes.
At Level 2 The healing increases to 300% of Laios’s Attack Rating.
At Level 3 Marcille and Laios receive 80% extra healing from meals.
At Level 4 The Attack Rating boost from meals increases to 50%.
Local Ingredients
While Laios is alive, the battlefield becomes infested with monsters such as dreafs, slimes, or fiends. These monsters periodically appear, taunt nearby enemies, and drop ingredients when defeated. Senshi collects these ingredients to enhance the next meal, granting all allies 50 points of Vitality for six seconds. If Marcille is an ally, the summoned monsters are also affected by her “Rewrite” effect.
At Level 2 Meals containing fiend ingredients grant 25 Crit Rating and 25 Crit Damage Amplification for the rest of the battle, non-stacking.
At Level 3 Meals with slime ingredients provide 25 Tenacity and reduce incoming damage by 25%, also non-stacking.
At Level 4 Meals with dreaf seeds allow allied attacks to reduce the target’s Haste, Physical Resist, and Magic Resist by 25 points for five seconds, again non-stacking.
Monster Analysis
When Laios uses his Ultimate, he applies Analysis stacks to enemies he intimidates. Each second, enemies in front of him gain one stack, up to a maximum of six. Each stack reduces the damage that enemy deals to Laios by 5%.
At Level 2 This damage reduction increases to 10% per stack.
At Level 3 Each stack also increases the damage dealt to that enemy by 8%.
At Level 4 While the enemy is being intimidated, each stack increases the damage they take by an additional 10%.
AFK Arena Laios Guide: Signature Item
Kensuke
Kensuke was originally a sword wielded by a Living Armor, but after battle, it’s now wielded by Laois. The Living Armor still resides within it, so Kensuke can detect the presence of other monster, but tends to flee when encountering powerful ones.

Unlocked at +20 Each stack of Trust increases the damage dealt by allied heroes by 5%.
Unlocked at +30 While Laios is using his Ultimate, Kensuke flies from its scabbard and attacks 2 random enemies every 0.5 second, prioritizing enemy heroes suffering from control effects. Kensuke’s attacks are equivalent to Laios’ normal attacks.
Unlocked at +40 Trust can be stacked up to 15 times.
AFK Arena Laios Guide: Eternal Engravings
Eternal Engravings further enhance AFK Arena Laios’s core strengths by improving his survivability, boosting his team-oriented buffs, and amplifying his synergy with Marcille.
Local Ingredients
Engraving Level 30 Enhance the skill Local Ingredients: Meals containing dreaf seeds will cause the attacks of allied heroes to reduce their targets’ Haste by 25 points and their Physical Resist and Magic Resist by 25 points upon dealing damage. This debuff lasts for 5 seconds and does not stack.
