Summer Event AFK Farm Guide: Best Macro Setup for Update...
Learn how to AFK farm the Anime Vanguards Summer Event using a free macro. Best team comps, auto-play settings, and step-by-step recording guide.
Why You Need an AFK Farm for the Anime Vanguards Summer Event
The Anime Vanguards Summer Event (Update 13.5) dropped a wave of fresh content: summer portals that drop capsules, memorias, and exclusive Vanguard familiars. The catch? The grind is absolutely brutal if you’re clicking through every portal manually. Within hours, the community figured out that the only way to stay sane is to set up an AFK macro. As one player reported, “This new update is a pretty brutal grind if you were to do this manually.” That’s where automated farming comes in.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through a proven Anime Vanguards Summer Event AFK farm setup that uses a free macro tool called Informal Task. We’ll cover the exact team compositions, in-game settings, and recording steps so you can collect capsules and memorias while you sleep, work, or just chill.
Important: Always use automation tools at your own risk. Roblox’s Terms of Service do not explicitly forbid macro programs, but they could be considered against the spirit of the game. No bans have been reported for the methods described here, but that may change.
Team Compositions That Survive Any Modifier
Your squad is the backbone of any reliable AFK farm. Based on extensive testing by the player who created the original macro, three variations of the team have proven effective against all modifier combinations in tier‑4 summer portals. All of them rely on two DPS units (Luffy and Ichigo) plus two supports chosen from Alucard, Rukia, and Madara.
| Variation | DPS Slot 1 | DPS Slot 2 | Support 1 | Support 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V1 (most consistent) | Luffy | Ichigo | Alucard | Rukia |
| V2 (recommended for macro) | Luffy | Ichigo | Rukia | Madara |
| V3 (alternative) | Luffy | Ichigo | Alucard | Madara |
Why these specific units? Luffy and Ichigo provide massive area damage and can clear waves quickly even with chaotic modifiers. The supports add buffs, stuns, or debuffs that prevent leaks. According to the player’s experience, the V2 team hasn’t failed a single tier‑4 portal across two hours of AFK farming. Even if a run does fail, the macro simply restarts from tier one and works its way back up — so your uptime remains close to 100%.
Important: Disable Rukia Auto‑Placement
If you use a variation that includes Rukia, you must manually disable her auto‑place in the game’s auto‑play settings. Otherwise, she might be placed in an inefficient spot and waste your resources. Click the “X” on Rukia’s slot so it turns red. This forces the game to place her only when you manually drag her, but since the macro doesn’t manually place units, she will stay unplaced — and that’s fine because the other three units handle everything.
In‑Game Auto‑Play Settings for Maximum Efficiency
Before you record the macro, configure your auto‑play settings exactly as shown below. These ensure that your team deploys units automatically and that the portal runs as fast as possible.
| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Auto Skip Start | ON |
| Chaos Mode | ON |
| Unit Auto‑Place (if using Rukia) | OFF for Rukia slot |
| Start Tier | Any (macro will upgrade) |
Chaos mode is essential because it reduces the number of waves and introduces more modifiers — which actually speeds up your portal completion. Combined with auto skip start, you’ll finish each run in roughly two minutes.
Pro tip: If you’re farming for capsules and memorias exclusively, you don’t need to worry about secret portals. The macro can be set to ignore them.
Step‑by‑Step: Recording Your AFK Macro with Informal Task
The video creator used a free program called Informal Task (a superior alternative to TinyTask). Below is the exact sequence recorded to create a loop that farms summer portals indefinitely.
- Clear any summer portal manually (tier 1 is fine). This ensures you start from a clean state.
- Press your record keybind (e.g., Ctrl + R in Informal Task).
- Click on the portal selection button – choose “Select” and then “Yes” on the pop‑up.
- Click on the “Portals” tab after the previous run ends.
- Type “TE space TR” in the search bar. This specific string filters only summer portals and ignores secret ones. Avoid typing letters like A, O, or I because they might trigger camera zoom or character movement.
- Click on the summer portal that appears, then click “Yes” to start the run.
- Stop the recording. The macro will now repeat these actions after every completion.
Tip: When typing the search string, pause for a moment between keystrokes so the macro can accurately replay the timing. If your connection is slow, you may need to add small delays within the macro (Informal Task lets you edit the recorded steps).
Testing Your Macro
Before leaving it unattended, run the macro for at least five full cycles while you watch. Verify that:
- It always picks a summer portal (never a random one).
- It does not get stuck on any UI elements.
- Your team can handle tier‑4 modifiers (the first few runs may be lower tiers as the macro climbs back up).
Once stable, you can let it run for hours. The player who tested this left it running for two hours with zero issues.
Risks and Precautions When Using Macro Tools
Anime Vanguards, like most Roblox experiences, does not have an official stance on third‑party macro software. However, the community widely uses programs like TinyTask and Informal Task without bans. Still, you should be aware of the potential downsides.
| Risk | Explanation | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Ban wave | Roblox could update their anti‑cheat to detect keystroke replay programs. | Use at your own risk; no bans reported as of June 2026 |
| Roblox crash | If your game crashes while the macro is running, it may start clicking on your desktop. | Test stability first; run macro only when you can check periodically |
| Wasted resources | If your team fails repeatedly, you may lose potential rewards. | Use a proven team (V2 recommended) and set a timer to check after 1 hour |
The player emphasized that they had no connection to the program developer and weren’t being paid. Informal Task is completely free and includes a guide and Discord server for troubleshooting.
FAQ
Q1: Can I use TinyTask instead of Informal Task for the Anime Vanguards Summer Event?
Yes, TinyTask works similarly, but Informal Task offers more features like delay editing and is considered more reliable by many players. Both are free and safe if used cautiously.
Q2: Do I need to unlock Luffy and Ichigo first?
Absolutely. This AFK farm relies on those two DPS units. If you don’t have them yet, focus on trading or summoning before attempting the macro.
Q3: Will this method get me banned from Anime Vanguards?
As of June 2026, no bans have been reported for using keyboard‑recording macros for the Anime Vanguards Summer Event. The game’s rules don’t explicitly prohibit macros, but use discretion. The player who tested this said, “most likely you won’t get banned.”
Q4: How many capsules and memorias can I expect per hour?
Rough estimates from the community suggest 12–15 capsule drops and 6–10 memorias per hour when running tier‑4 portals with chaos mode on. Your results may vary based on luck and team efficiency.
Final Thoughts
The Anime Vanguards Summer Event is one of the best farming opportunities in the game right now, but the manual grind is unsustainable. By setting up a simple AFK macro with Informal Task, you can collect all the new summer rewards without burning out. Follow the team compositions and settings above, record your macro carefully, and you’ll be swimming in capsules and Vanguard familiars in no time.
