Hello, fellow Anime Vanguard enthusiasts! Are you tired of the endless grind for Igris? Do you dream of a world where your units fight tirelessly while you go about your day? Well, you've come to the right place! AFK farming Igris in Anime Vanguard is not just a dream, it's a strategy, and I'm here to show you exactly how to make it a reality. Let's dive in!
The Ultimate Guide to AFK Farming Igris in Anime Vanguard
AFK (Away From Keyboard) farming allows you to automate repetitive tasks in games, like clearing the Double Dungeon Disaster stage Act 3 repeatedly to try and get the elusive Igris unit. While the drop rate for Igris is a very low 0.75%, consistency is key, and AFK farming provides just that.
Before We Begin: Essential Preparations
Before you even think about setting up your AFK farm, you need to ensure you're ready. This isn't just about having the right tools; it's about having the right mindset and in-game progression.
1. Game Progression is Key:
- You must have completed the entire Story mode, including all 18 stages across all acts.
- You need to have cleared the Sand Village levels to unlock the Double Dungeon Legend Stage.
- Crucially, you must have cleared Act 1 and Act 2 of the Double Dungeon to unlock Act 3: Double Dungeon Disaster. This is the stage where Igris can drop.
- Your in-game level needs to be 21+ to enter Act 3.
2. Essential Units for Success:
- While you can attempt this with various units, a strong team is paramount. You want units that can clear waves quickly and deal significant damage to the boss.
- Damage over Time (DoT) units or units with high area-of-effect (AoE) damage are highly recommended for clearing the initial waves of enemies.
- For the Igris boss itself, units with a boss-damage bonus or high single-target damage are ideal. Igris has a passive called "Rulers Hand" which deals +40% extra DMG to a boss, making him a fantastic unit if you manage to get him!
- Consider units that can stun or slow enemies, especially when the statues come alive after wave 13, as they can stun your units.
- Having good money-generating units at the start of your placement strategy is crucial to afford your powerful attackers.
3. The Auto-Clicker/Macro Tool:
- This is the heart of AFK farming. For PC users, programs like TinyTask are popular choices. For mobile users, various "Auto Clicker for Games" apps are available.
- Ensure your chosen tool can:
- Record mouse clicks and keyboard inputs.
- Loop the recorded actions infinitely.
- Set customizable delays between actions.
- Familiarize yourself with its interface and basic functions before starting.
4. Stable Internet Connection and Power Source:
- An interrupted connection or a dead battery can ruin your AFK run. Ensure your device is plugged in and you have a reliable internet connection.
Step 1: Setting the Stage - Optimizing Your Game Environment
Alright, are you ready to transform your grind into a hands-off operation? The first step is to prepare your game in a way that makes your AFK run as smooth as possible.
1. Join a Private Server (Recommended):
QuickTip: Skim the ending to preview key takeaways.
- This is highly recommended to prevent any interruptions from other players or server-related issues. A private server ensures a consistent and stable environment for your AFK session.
2. Graphic Settings and Performance:
- Lower your graphic settings to the absolute minimum. This reduces strain on your device and minimizes the chances of lag or crashes during long AFK sessions. Performance over aesthetics!
3. Zoom Out and Position Your Camera:
- Enter the Double Dungeon Disaster (Act 3).
- Once inside, zoom out your camera as much as possible so you can see the entire map or at least all the key unit placement spots and the "Replay" button. This is crucial for accurate macro recording.
- Position your camera in a way that the "Yes" button (to confirm starting the round) and the "Replay" button (after finishing a round) are clearly visible and easily clickable.
4. Clear Your Inventory (Optional but Recommended):
- While not directly impacting the AFK farm, clearing your inventory of unnecessary items can prevent it from filling up and potentially causing issues or missed drops if the game prompts you to manage inventory.
Step 2: Crafting Your AFK Macro - The Recording Process
This is where the magic happens! You'll be recording a sequence of actions that your auto-clicker will then repeat. Pay close attention to timing and precision.
1. Start Your Macro Recording:
- Open your chosen auto-clicker/macro software.
- Position your mouse cursor over the "Yes" button to start the game.
- Initiate the recording.
2. The Initial Click Sequence (Starting the Game):
- Click the "Yes" button to begin the Double Dungeon Disaster.
- Immediately after, you'll likely need to click to skip any pre-game dialogues or pop-ups. Spam click for a few seconds to ensure everything is dismissed.
3. Strategic Unit Placement:
- This is the most critical part. You need a consistent and effective unit placement strategy that can reliably clear Act 3.
- Early Game (Money Units): Start by placing your money-generating units. Click on their icons, then click on their designated spots on the map. Ensure you click on the exact same spots every time during recording.
- Main Damage Dealers: Once you have enough cash, place your primary damage units. Again, be precise with your clicks.
- Support/Utility Units: Place any support units (stunners, debuffers, buffers) in their optimal positions.
- General Tip: Consider using intelligent units first to ensure you have enough gold to deploy your main attackers quickly.
4. Unit Upgrades (Crucial for Sustained Damage):
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
- As the waves progress, you'll earn money to upgrade your units. Your macro needs to account for this.
- After placing your initial units, start clicking on their upgrade buttons as money becomes available. You might need to spam click the upgrade button for each unit for a few seconds to ensure they upgrade as soon as possible.
- Many users suggest pressing the 'T' key to upgrade units if your auto-clicker supports keyboard inputs, or simply clicking the upgrade icon. Consistency is key.
5. Handling Wave 13 (Statues):
- Around wave 13, the statues on the map come alive and can stun your units. Your strategy should account for this.
- If your units are getting stunned, consider placing a strong unit directly in front of the statues to destroy them quickly. Integrate these placements into your macro.
6. Waiting for Completion and Replay:
- Once the boss is defeated and the "Victory" screen appears, you need a delay before clicking "Replay." This delay should be long enough to allow the game to fully register the victory and present the "Replay" option.
- Many users suggest a 10-20 second delay after completing the stage.
- After the delay, position your mouse over the "Replay" button.
- Spam click the "Replay" button for about 3-5 seconds to ensure it registers and you re-enter the dungeon.
7. Stopping the Recording:
- Once you've successfully initiated the replay and are back at the start of a new round (or the initial game screen), stop the macro recording.
Step 3: Saving and Looping Your Macro
You've captured the essence of your farming run! Now, to make it truly AFK.
 |
1. Save Your Macro:
- Give your macro a clear and memorable name, like "IgrisAFK_Run_V1".
2. Configure Loop Settings:
- In your auto-clicker/macro software, set the macro to loop infinitely or for a very large number of repetitions (e.g., 999999). This will ensure continuous farming.
3. Test, Test, Test!
- Do not walk away yet! Run your macro for at least 5-10 full cycles to ensure it runs flawlessly.
- Observe closely:
- Does it click "Yes" and start the game correctly?
- Are all units placed at the exact right spots?
- Do units upgrade as intended?
- Does it handle the statue waves effectively?
- Does it successfully click "Replay" and restart the dungeon without errors?
- Are there any unexpected pop-ups or delays that throw off the timing?
Troubleshooting Tips during Testing:
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
- Missed Clicks: If clicks are missed, increase the duration of your "spam clicks" or adjust the mouse pointer's position slightly during recording.
- Timing Issues: If the macro is too fast or too slow, adjust the delays between actions. Some auto-clickers allow you to insert specific delays.
- Stuck Screens: If the macro gets stuck on a screen (e.g., victory screen not disappearing), increase the delay before clicking "Replay."
Step 4: The AFK Grind - Letting the Macro Do the Work
Once you're confident in your macro, it's time to let it do its job.
1. Minimize or Run in Background (if possible):
- Depending on your auto-clicker and operating system, you might be able to minimize the game window or run it in the background while the macro is active. However, always monitor it initially.
2. Monitor Periodically:
- Even with a perfect macro, things can go wrong (game updates, random lag spikes, etc.). Check on your AFK farm periodically to ensure it's still running as intended.
3. Enjoy the Fruits of Your Labor:
- Go do something else! Work, study, watch anime – your units are tirelessly grinding for that elusive Igris.

Optimizing Your Igris AFK Farm
Beyond the basic setup, there are ways to make your AFK journey even more efficient.
- Unit Synergy: Focus on building a team where units complement each other. For example, a strong AoE unit paired with a single-target boss killer.
- Aura and Trait Optimization: If your units have specific Auras or Traits that boost income or damage, utilize them. Monarch trait on your money units is incredibly helpful for early game economy.
- Strategic Targeting: While AFK, you can't manually change targeting. Ensure your units' inherent targeting (first, strongest, last) works well with your overall strategy for Act 3.
- Internet Stability: A wired connection is always more reliable than Wi-Fi for extended AFK sessions.
- PC/Mobile Optimization: Close all unnecessary background applications to free up resources for Anime Vanguard and your auto-clicker. This minimizes lag and potential crashes.
- Lucky Potions (Debatable): Some players wonder if lucky potions affect Igris drop rates. Generally, lucky potions only affect summon rates, not direct boss drops. So, don't rely on them for Igris.
FAQs: How to AFK Farm Igris in Anime Vanguard
Here are 10 frequently asked questions to clarify common concerns about AFK farming Igris:
How to Start AFK Farming Igris? To start, you need to have completed all story stages, unlocked and cleared Double Dungeon Act 1 and 2, be level 21+, and then use an auto-clicker or macro software to record and loop your gameplay actions in Double Dungeon Act 3.
How to Choose the Right Auto-Clicker for AFK Farming? Look for an auto-clicker that allows you to record mouse and keyboard inputs, set customizable delays between actions, and loop the recorded sequence indefinitely. Popular choices for PC include TinyTask, while mobile users can find "Auto Clicker for Games" apps.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
How to Ensure My Units Don't Die During AFK Farming? A strong and well-balanced team is crucial. Prioritize high-damage units, good money generation at the start, and units that can handle the unique challenges of Act 3, such as the activated statues at wave 13. Test your strategy thoroughly before leaving it AFK.
How to Improve Igris Drop Rate While AFK Farming? Unfortunately, the Igris drop rate (0.75%) is fixed and cannot be improved by in-game items like lucky potions or by any AFK farming method directly. The only way to "improve" your chances is to run the stage as many times as possible, which is exactly what AFK farming facilitates.
How to Set Up Delays in My Macro for Optimal AFK Farming? When recording your macro, pay attention to screen transitions (e.g., after a wave clears, or after the victory screen). Introduce sufficient delays (e.g., 5-10 seconds after a wave, 10-20 seconds after victory) to ensure the game registers actions and the next clickable element appears.
How to Handle In-Game Pop-ups During AFK Farming? If there are consistent in-game pop-ups (like daily rewards or event notifications), try to incorporate clicks to dismiss them into your macro. If they appear randomly, you might need to check on your farm periodically to manually dismiss them.
How to AFK Farm Igris on Mobile Devices? Mobile AFK farming typically involves using a dedicated auto-clicker app from your app store. These apps usually overlay on your screen, allowing you to record touch gestures and set repetition loops. The principles of unit placement and timing remain the same.
How to Recover from a Failed AFK Run? If your AFK run stops or fails, it usually means your macro's timing or placement was off, or an unexpected event occurred. Observe the point of failure, adjust your macro recording (e.g., add delays, modify click positions), and re-test thoroughly.
How to Minimize Lag During Long AFK Farming Sessions? Lower your in-game graphic settings to the lowest possible, close all other applications on your device, and ensure your device has adequate cooling. A wired internet connection can also help reduce latency issues.
How to Know if My AFK Igris Farm is Successful? The ultimate success indicator is acquiring Igris! Beyond that, a successful AFK farm will continuously clear Double Dungeon Act 3 without manual intervention, restarting smoothly after each completion, and you'll accumulate resources and potentially other drops from the dungeon.
