Attributes

**Attributes** are a core feature of AFK Arena. They are stats that heroes possess, which aids in determining how the hero will best function in a battle. Understanding how each stat works is a crucial component in a player's decision to buff their heroes in specific areas.

## How to Boost Attributes

There are numerous methods to increase attributes in AFK Arena. The most basic way is through leveling and ascending the hero. This is especially of note for Oak Inn Furniture since the level and ascension tier of the hero directly impacts how high the furniture's attribute bonuses will be.

Players can also enhance their hero's attributes by equipping Gear, leveling The Elder Tree, placing the hero into their Library Unions (if applicable), equipping and upgrading Signature Items, and unlocking glyphs via Eternal Engravings.

Additionally, players can make use of formation bonuses in battle which are as follows:

 Increases the stats of all allied heroes when 3 heroes of one faction and 2 heroes of another faction are used together.
 Increases the stats of all allied heroes when 4 heroes of the same faction are used together.
 Increases the stats of all allied heroes when 5 heroes of the same faction are used together.
 Use one Hypogean hero in the formation.
 Use two Hypogean heroes in the formation.
 Use three Hypogean heroes in the formation.
 Use four Hypogean heroes in the formation.
 Use five Hypogean heroes in the formation.
