The Anniversary Event in Anime Vanguards Update 9 brings the coveted Dio Over Heaven unit and a shop full of exclusive rewards, all purchasable with the new event currency: Cakes. Farming them manually can be a slow grind. This definitive Anime Vanguards Cake Farming Guide will show you the most efficient methods, including a powerful AFK strategy using macros, to maximize your Cake earnings with minimal effort.
Why Farm Cakes in Anime Vanguards?
Cakes are the lifeblood of the Anniversary Event. You need them to purchase limited-time items from the Anniversary Shop, including the powerful Dio Over Heaven character, special skins, and other valuable boosts. Without an efficient farming method, earning enough Cakes before the event ends can be a challenge.
Prerequisites: Unlocking the Best Farming Stage
Before you can start efficient farming, you must unlock the optimal stage.
Access the Event: Find the Anniversary Special Stage portal in the game world.
Complete Stage 8: You must first complete Stage 8 of the Anniversary Special Stage. This can be done solo or, more easily, with a team of other players.
Unlock Stage 9: After beating Stage 8, Stage 9 becomes available. This is the most efficient stage for AFK farming due to its enemy density and reward payout.
The Best Team Setup for AFK Cake Farming
Your team composition is critical for successful AFK runs. You need units with high Area-of-Effect (AoE) damage and survivability.
Core Units:
Toji Fushiguro: An essential unit for AFK farming. Place one on the left and one on the right of the main enemy spawn point to clear waves efficiently.
Broly: Provides massive AoE damage. Ideal for the center of the map to handle large groups.
Sukuna: Another top-tier AoE unit that synergizes well with Broly for clearing waves quickly.
Support Units:
Obito: Can be used for his utility and damage.
Escanor: A strong alternative for raw damage output.
Strategy: Place your two Toji units on the flanks. Position Broly and Sukuna in the center. Focus on upgrading your main Damage Per Second (DPS) units before the boss wave arrives to ensure a quick kill.
How to Set Up AFK Farming with TinyTask (PC)
Using a macro tool like TinyTask allows you to automate the process of restarting the stage, making farming possible while you sleep or are away.
Disclaimer: Always ensure that using automation tools does not violate the game’s Terms of Service. Use at your own discretion.
Download TinyTask: Find and download TinyTask (a lightweight, free macro recorder).
Record Your Macro:
Start a run in Stage 9.
Once the run is complete and you are back at the stage selection screen, start recording in TinyTask.
Click to restart Stage 9.
Stop the recording immediately after clicking. Your macro should be just a single click.
Set Up the Loop:
In TinyTask, set the playback to “Loop” and adjust the speed if necessary.
Before activating the macro, ensure your team is powerful enough to consistently beat Stage 9 without your input.
Activate the macro. It will now automatically restart the stage for you after each completion.
Tips for Optimal & Stable AFK Farming
To ensure your farming session runs smoothly for hours, follow these tips:
Prevent Disconnects: To avoid being kicked for inactivity, occasionally move your character manually or ensure the game window remains the active focus. Some players find that having game sounds on helps prevent the game from tabbing out.
Choose a Low-Population Server: Play on a server with fewer players to reduce lag and the chance of server restarts.
Upgrade Your Units: The stronger your team, the faster they clear the stage, leading to more Cakes per hour.
Check Your Farm: Periodically check on your game to ensure the macro is running correctly and you haven’t been disconnected.
FAQ: Anime Vanguards Cake Farming
Q1: Is using TinyTask or a macro considered cheating?
A: The use of automation tools is often against the Terms of Service of many games, including Roblox titles. While it is a common practice, there is always a potential risk. Using it for simple tasks like restarting a stage is generally considered low-risk, but be aware of the potential consequences.
Q2: What if I can’t beat Stage 9 yet?
A: Farm the highest Anniversary Stage you can consistently complete. While less efficient, it will still yield Cakes. Focus on upgrading your units or teaming up with stronger players to unlock Stage 9.
Q3: Besides Cakes, what else do I get from farming?
A: Farming Stage 9 also rewards a massive amount of Gems (over 100k per run) and reroll tokens, which are invaluable for obtaining other limited-time units.
Q4: Can I do this on mobile?
A: While the team strategy for Stage 9 is the same, the TinyTask macro method is exclusive to PC. Mobile players will need to restart stages manually.
Q5: What’s the best thing to buy in the Cake Shop?
A: The top priority for most players is the Dio Over Heaven unit, as it is a powerful, limited-time character.
Conclusion
Efficient Cake farming in Anime Vanguards Update 9 revolves around unlocking Stage 9, building a powerful AFK team with units like Toji and Broly, and automating the process with a macro tool like TinyTask. By following this guide, you can accumulate a vast stockpile of Cakes, Gems, and rerolls, allowing you to purchase every exclusive item from the Anniversary Shop and secure powerful units like Dio Over Heaven with minimal active playtime.
