AFK Journey Skyclops

Skyclops is one of the 8 available Dream Realm bosses you will encounter in AFK Journey. In this guide we will go over the boss mechanics and the best characters and teams to use against him.

Realistically speaking, your meta team will depend on your specific box, and your account focus, so use your highest rarity DPS carry characters, along with whoever can best boost their damage. Try running Dual/Triple carry, as currently there is no way to boost a Hypercarry’s damage high enough to make it worth running only one. Keep faction bonus in mind but don’t run suboptimal characters just to force it.

Still, below you can find a few example teams. Big thanks to

AFK Analytica for the team building tool. You can find their website here and their discord here.

• Team #1 - Best Team
• Team #2 - Alt Team
• Team #3 - Alt Team
• Team #4 - No Celehypo

At the start of the battle, Skyclops will designate the player’s closest character as the “Tank” and will keep attacking that character, pausing to summon 4 minions from time to time, or to use a sweeping laser attack that covers the entire area. In the early game, this tank can be any traditional frontline tank character. But this does not contribute much to your damage so you might want to switch to a more aggressive strategy!

When Skyclops summons his minions, he will gain 90% physical damage resist or 90% magic damage resist, alternating between them each time, making characters who deal true damage all the more valuable here.

In the mid to late game, it is prudent to let

Smokey & Meerky or

Kruger tank this boss as long as they can survive for the duration of the encounter, because this enables you to run as many damage dealers and buffers/debuffers as possible in order to maximize damage. Be sure to kill mobs as soon as they spawn in order to keep your tank alive. Characters who can protect your tank or who have inherent AOE or kill chaining abilities are great here.

You will want constant healing in order to deal with the dangerous sweeping laser attacks, which will be the main reason for party wipes in the early stages of the game before you can get to the end of the endless mode timer.

This stage does not feature skill channeling interruption, so

Smokey & Meerky is king here as they are able to keep buffing the team throughout the entire fight with little trouble.

Skyclops takes about 38-39 actions in the span of 90 seconds (the full length of the battle - if you survive through all of it that is). Here's a list of all possible actions:

• melee attack (up to 9 times per cycle)
• ranged attack (up to 9 times per cycle)
• summon 4 minions (3 or 4 times total)
• sweeping laser attack (4x)
