The AFK challenge is arguably one of the most demanding tasks to complete in Megabonk, which makes it all the more fun.
A key to surviving in Megabonk is to be constantly on the move to escape the enemies. However, the AFK challenge requires you to do the opposite. It involves clearing swarms of enemies without moving at all. This makes it fairly different from all other challenges available in the game, and quite hard as well.
Thankfully, specific tips and tricks will make this challenging task quite achievable.

How to finish the AFK challenge in Megabonk
The AFK challenge involves clearing enemies till you reach the final swarm. You can't move or jump while eliminating the enemies. You can keep improving your build with new tomes, weapons, and more. You can also pick up items as long as they're dropping around you to collect without any movement.
While the AFK challenge doesn't require you to use any particular character or weapon to clear the task, I have a recommended build to focus on.
Best build to clear AFK challenge in Megabonk
Here's what I feel is the best build to use to clear the AFK challenge.
- Character: There's one clear choice, which is Megachad. He arguably has the highest health pool and defense, and also offers a kit that does well on the offensive end. Since you can't dodge, it's advisable to use the tankiest character.
- Weapons: There are several weapons to consider, and my favorite is the Axe. It's easy to unlock, doesn't require any targeting, and scales up very well with most Tomes. The Aura is another good choice, and it works similarly to the Axe.
- Tomes: Try to scale up Attack Speed whenever you can, and more so if you're using either the Axe or the Aura. Shield Tome and Dame Tome are also good choices for empowering your AFK build. HP Regen is also a safe bet if you want to try and heal up between boss and swarm phases.
Ultimately, go for upgrades that scale up auto damage and sustains. While the former helps take the enemies, the latter enables survivability.
The Boss Stage is always the hardest part that most people get stuck on, and really, it's all down to RNG and luck to get high damage weapons before you get to this point. All I'm saying is, prepare to reset this challenge—a lot.
