Clearing AFK Stages in AFK Journey requires constant upgrading of your heroes, involving both their stats and the equipment that they are equipped with.
Moreover, you can’t stop clearing AFK stages at any point. Every now and then, a mission will require you to reach a certain AFK stage.
What are AFK Stages?

AFK stages are basically battles that you have to win against the enemy team controlled by AI.
The enemies get stronger as you clear more stages, and there will be a stage where you can’t win anymore unless you improve the stats of your heroes.
There’s also an option called Auto-Battle, where you can set a formation and let your team compete in the battles automatically. The auto-battle will stop when your team loses a stage.
Tips to Clear AFK Stages
Following will be some tips that will help you clear AFK stages with ease.
1. Constantly Upgrade your Heroes

AFK Journey is all about enhancing your Resonance level and passing missions to complete the game.
And as I said, many missions require you to complete certain AFK stages, which require you to upgrade your heroes.
So, in short, this is the main aspect of clearing AFK levels.
2. Forge Equipment

Make sure you are equipped with the best gear for all hero types. Equipment helps you improve both your attack and defense, providing a substantial advantage over your enemies.
Also, don’t forget to open the equipment chests you get!
3. Make Tactical Formations

Don’t think that you can pass every stage with a single formation. There will be stages where you’ll need to move a certain hero somewhere else or swap him/her out.
There will be stages where the enemy team’s attack will be divided and stages where all of the enemy heroes will be attacking a single hero of your team.
In stages like the latter, you’ll have to make sure that you place your heroes in such an order that the attack on them is divided and a single hero is not taking all the damage.
Generally, you’d want your Tank heroes to take most of the damage, as they can endure a lot. The heroes with low HP should be kept away from the enemies’ initial attack.
4. Try out Different Team Combos

If the team you generally play with is losing a close battle, consider swapping out a hero or two and seeing if it works.
For instance, if the enemy team is super strong, you can have two tanks, a healer, and two attackers in your team.
Similarly, if the enemy team has healers like Hewynn, consider placing heroes like Vala and Reinier against them so these healers can be killed first.
AFK Stages Rewards

You will get rewards in the form of gold, diamonds, hero essence, equipment chests, and more after every few levels.
These rewards will help you upgrade your heroes and improve your team.
Conclusion
Clearing AFK stages isn’t very hard as long as you are implementing the tips mentioned in this article. The better your team and tactics are, the faster you will win.
