Dream Realm is one of the Battle Modes feature in AFK Journey, which unlocks after reaching AFK Stage 20. The monster of Dream Realm changes every day for players to challenge, and each has multiple difficulties and becomes stronger as it increases.
The rule is simple. Defeat the boss within 90 seconds to be ranked and receive hefty rewards! This guide will provide some of the best teams for each Dream Realm boss.
Dream Realm Skyclops
One of the four Dream Realm bosses is the Skyclops. During the battle, Skyclops summons four minions occasionally, then a sweeping laser with global range. Fortunately, Skyclops is one of the easiest bosses to tackle, given you have a healer that provides constant healing. Here are the recommended teams for Skyclops:
Team Recommendation
| Team 1 |  Marilee |  Kruger |
 Odie |  Korin | |
 Smokey & Meerky | ||
| Team 2 |  Shakir |  Scarlita |
 Reinier | Odie | |
Smokey & Meerky | ||
Skyclops Skill Overview
| Skill 1 | Summon 4 Wings of Light. Gains magic damage immunity. 40% decrease in physical damage received (+10% as difficulty level increases). |
| Skill 2 | Summon 4 Wings of Darkness. Gains physical damage immunity. 40% decrease in magic damage received (+10% as difficulty level increases). |
| Skill 3 | 15% increase in physical damage when Wings of Light are summoned. 15% increase in magic damage when Wings of Darkness are summoned. |
| Ultimate | Shoots a laser beam through all the tiles, dealing +260% damage to all enemies touched. |
King Croaker
King Croaker is one of the four bosses available and, just like any boss, will focus on the frontline tank but occasionally attack the backline with a ranged AoE or use his Instakill bubble on the closest hero in his range. With an Instakill bubble that could rid your frontline quickly, you would want a close-range Tank such as Thoran, which can easily absorb the bubble.
Team Recommendation
| Team 1 |  Thoran | Marilee |
Reinier | Kruger | |
Smokey & Meerky | ||
| Team 2 | Odie | Marilee |
 Koko |  Cecia | |
Smokey & Meerky | ||
King Croaker Skill Overview
| Skill 1 | Releases THREE magic bubbles 15s, 35s, and 55s into the battle. These bubbles instantly defeat the enemy they hit. |
| Skill 2 | Launches a water bomb that deals 220% AoE damage. |
| Skill 3 | Knocks back the enemy 1 tile, deals +240% damage, and stuns them for 2.5s. |
| Ultimate | Regain 60 Energy per second. Upon reaching full Energy, King Croaker generates a magical barrier that shields against damage, halting Energy recovery. Following the barrier's expiration, King Croaker converts Energy into offensive power: At level 1, loses 75 Energy for -50% damage. At level 2, loses 50 Energy for -60% damage. At level 3, loses 50 Energy for -70% damage. At level 4, loses 40 Energy for -80% damage. At level 5, loses 33 Energy for -90% damage. At level 6, loses 25 Energy for -90% damage. |
Snow Stomper
Snow Stomper is a Dream Realm boss capable of melee and range attacks and an occasional AoE breath and blizzard attack that could freeze your units. The longer you stay in battle, the more difficult it gets to clear this boss. The ideal approach is to have a debuffer/buffer in your team and your strongest DPS to take down the boss quickly.
Team Recommendation
| Team 1 | Shakir | Thoran |
Kruger | Odie | |
Cecia | ||
| Team 2 | Kruger | Odie |
Marilee |  Rhys | |
Smokey & Meerky | ||
Snow Stomper Skill Overview
| Skill 1 | Summons a blizzard after 10s, 40s, and 70s in battle. The blizzard lasts for 20 seconds, silences all enemies, and makes them lose 0.5% HP. HP loss increases by 0.1% with every boss level. |
| Skill 2 | Fires ice bites at the enemy with damage equal to 5% of the target’s total HP. Causes bleeding for 8 seconds and the enemy loses 0.5% of their max HP per second. HP loss increases by 0.1% with every boss level. |
| Skill 3 | Conjures a snowball and launches it towards the enemy with the highest HP. Knocks down the enemy for 1 second and deals 180% damage. |
| Skill 4 | Launches multiple waves of frost 3 times to deal 120% damage. Targets front-row enemies. |

Necrodrakon
Necrodrakon, like every Dream Realm boss, attacks the closest character as a tank and will continuously attack them. He will cast a ‘Crest' status on every character during the battle. This ‘Crest' will explode if the character doesn't move for 15s, dealing massive damage and debuff. You would want heroes who move around to counter this.
