Besides fighting regular mobs in the open world, you can also challenge several powerful monsters in the Dream Realm. Among them is a frog mage called King Croaker, who can cast several deadly magic that can kill your whole team. To defeat King Croaker in AFK Journey, you must use the best characters and proper team composition. Of course, it won’t be easy, especially due to the boss’ massive HP bars and the time limit.
How To Beat King Croaker in AFK Journey
In order to beat this Dream Realm boss, you must understand King Croaker’s skills in AFK Journey. Here are the details:
| Ability | Description |
|---|---|
| Ultimate | King Croaker recovers 60 Energy every second when the battle starts but will not recover Energy due to other circumstances. When its Energy is full, it will gain a magic shield, which prevents it from recovering Energy. If the boss takes damage, it will lose 75 Energy but reduce incoming damage by 50 percent. |
| Skill 1 | The boss shoots a magic bubble at the closest unit at 15/35/55 seconds after the battle starts. Any character will be instantly killed if they get hit. |
| Skill 2 | After charging its power, King Croaker will launch a water bomb at the area with the most heroes, dealing 220 percent damage to units within two tiles. |
| Skill 3 | The boss deals 240 percent damage to units within one tile. This skill will also knock the characters back by one tile and stun them for 2.5 seconds. |
Best Characters & Teams
As you can see, King Croaker is extremely dangerous because of its high damage and instant kill skill. If you wish to beat this boss, you need to use the best characters; here are my recommendations:
| Class | Units |
|---|---|
| Tank | Thoran |
| DPS | Marilee, Odie, Korin, Kruger |
| Support | Lyca, Koko, Reinier |
| Healer | Smokey & Meerky, Hewynn, Rowan |
Thoran is the best Tank that you can use to beat King Croaker in AFK Journey. His Ressurection skill lets him return to the field with 40 percent HP after being downed. You can use other Tank units in this battle, but they will likely die not long after the fight starts because of the instant kill skill.
For DPS, Marilee and Odie are great options since the two can hit King Croaker from afar. You may also want to bring support units, such as Lyca and Koko, who can provide buffs for your team. Lastly, Smokey & Meerky is the best healer you can use since he can heal and give buffs to nearby allies continuously.
Here are some team compositions you may use to beat King Croaker in AFK Journey:
| Team | Units |
|---|---|
| Optimal Team | Tank: Thoran DPS: Marilee, Odie Support: Lyca Healer: Smokey & Meerky |
| Alternative Team 1 | Tank: Thoran DPS: Korin, Kruger Support: Koko Healer: Hewynn |
| Alternative Team 2 | Tank: Granny Dahnie DPS: Marilee, Korin Support: Lyca Healer: Rowan |
