Summer Portals Guide: How to AFK Farm the Scorching Fate...

Learn how to solo and AFK farm Anime Vanguards summer portals with the best team setup, macro tips, and drop rates for exclusive items like Escanor’s memoria.

Introduction

Summer has arrived in Anime Vanguards, and with it comes the limited-time Scorching Fate Trial—better known among players as the summer portals. These portals offer a chance to earn exclusive Vanguard familiars, powerful new memoria, and a rare Escanor memoria with only a 1% drop rate from secret portals. If you want to farm these rewards efficiently without burning out, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll break down how to set up a reliable AFK strategy for soloing Anime Vanguards summer portals, based on community-tested tactics and player experience from the latest updates. By the end, you’ll be able to macro through the trial and maximize your loot while you focus on other things.

What Are Summer Portals in Anime Vanguards?

The summer portals are a seasonal game mode called the Scorching Fate Trial. When you enter a portal, you face waves of enemies that scale in difficulty based on the tier you choose (tier 1–4). Higher tiers offer better rewards but also require stronger units. The main attractions from these portals include:

New Vanguard familiars for past summer units
Escanor’s memoria (secret portal only, ~1% chance)
Divinity memoria (used to boost your units)
Upgrade materials and currency

Because the mode can get laggy over long sessions (reported frame drops to 15 FPS after an hour), many players prefer an AFK macro approach. The community has developed a consistent solo team that can handle most tier 4 portals with minimal input.

Optimal Team Composition for AFK Farming

Based on player experience shared in a popular YouTube guide, the following six‑unit lineup works best for solo AFK farming of Anime Vanguards summer portals. Each unit uses a specific memoria and familiar to maximize damage and survivability.

Unit	Memoria	Familiar	Role
Agony / Pain	Divinity memoria	Nose	Main DPS (auto‑upgrade priority)
Naruto	Divinity memoria	Verb (own memoria)	Secondary damage, Kurama transformation
Rukia	Divinity memoria	Doctor	Crowd control / debuff
Alucard	Own memoria	Own familiar	Late‑game burst
Skeleton (Brooke)	None (optional)	Random	Leak defender (placed at back)
Fifth unit (flex)	Divinity memoria	Any	Extra buff/Filler

Key notes from the community:

Do not place Naruto early—his damage is not helpful during early waves
Always use Divinity memoria on your main carries to boost output
The Kurama transformation (triggered by left‑clicking every 10 seconds) adds significant AoE damage, so you must stay near the lane

Step‑by‑Step Guide to Solo Summer Portals

Follow this sequence to set up your AFK macro for the summer portals. The steps below assume you have the team listed above and a macro tool (e.g., a basic recorder with loop playback).

Step	Action	Tips
1	Enter the Scorching Fate Trial lobby	Pick Tier 4 for best rewards; secret portals are easier (Tier 1)
2	Lower your graphics settings	Prevents lag; avoid full‑screen mode
3	Position your character near the middle of the lane, facing the spawn point	Ensures your left‑click range covers the path
4	Start your macro with a 5‑second delay	Gives time to confirm portal entry
5	Place your first three units (Pain, Naruto, Rukia) in a tight cluster near the spawn	Center placement improves AoE coverage
6	Place Alucard and Brooke slightly behind as backup	Brooke (Skeleton) catches leaks
7	Do not place Naruto—leave him unplaced until later	Saves money and doesn’t help early waves
8	Immediately auto‑upgrade Pain to max as soon as you have gold	Prioritize Pain’s upgrades over all others
9	Left‑click continuously when near the lane (macro or manual)	Triggers Kurama transformation every 10 seconds
10	Around 2:30 game time, auto‑upgrade Alucard	Use excess gold to boost him
11	At ~3:30–4:00, place Brooke (if not already) and upgrade	Solidifies leak defense
12	Wait until wave 37 before attempting to portal out	Ensures you have enough progress
13	Use the portal command `/tri` (or type TR I) to exit	Select the first or second option depending on your goal
14	Rejoin the lobby every 60 minutes to reset lag	The game mode is not optimized; FPS will drop

Macro settings: Use continuous playback at 1× speed. Place your character close to the lane so left‑clicks hit enemies. If you encounter an extremely hard portal (e.g., rare bosses), this solo setup may fail—community reports suggest a 90% win rate on normal tier 4 portals.

Tips for Consistent Wins

Unit Placement Matters

Many players make the mistake of putting units too far forward. According to the video guide, placing them slightly behind the spawn point reduces the chance of leaks and gives your units more time to kill enemies. Here’s a recommended layout:

[Spawn] ─── [Pain / Naruto / Rukia] ─── [Alucard] ─── [Brooke] ─── [Base]

Combat Lag Issues

Lower your graphics to minimum before entering
Don’t run full‑screen—windowed mode reduces lag
Restart the game every hour; after 60 minutes the mode becomes nearly unplayable at 15 FPS
Avoid using too many particle‑heavy abilities simultaneously

When to Skip a Portal

If the portal is a “hard” variant (community reports mention extremely tanky bosses), it’s often impossible to solo even with perfect execution. In that case, teleport out early using /tri and enter a new portal.

Farming Rewards: What You Can Get

The summer portals drop a variety of exclusive items. Based on community data and the video creator’s experience, here are the most sought‑after rewards:

Reward	Source	Estimated Drop Rate
New Vanguard familiars (summer units)	Standard portals (Tier 1–4)	~5% per completion
Divinity memoria	Any portal	Common (~20%)
Escanor’s memoria	Secret portals only	~1% (very rare)
Gold / XP	All portals	Guaranteed
Upgrade stones	Tier 4 portals	~10%

Note: Secret portals are identified by a different visual effect and have a lower difficulty (Tier 1). If you see one, run it immediately—it’s easy and has a shot at Escanor’s memoria.

Community Strategies and Common Pitfalls

Several players on YouTube and Discord have shared their own experiences with Anime Vanguards summer portals. Here are the most common mistakes and fixes:

Placing Naruto too early: His damage is negligible until late game; save gold for Pain.
Not using left‑click for Kurama: The transformation deals massive AoE. If you’re running a macro, include a left‑click command every 10 seconds.
Ignoring the secret portal: Many players skip it thinking it’s a waste, but it’s actually the easiest and most rewarding.
Running the game for hours straight: The mode becomes laggy and unstable. Set a timer to rejoin every hour.
Using wrong memoria: Divinity memoria is mandatory for damage output—don’t use random ones.

The team described in this guide is not the absolute best (a fully maxed meta team would be stronger), but it’s one of the most consistent for solo AFK farming. If you have access to a stronger unit like Escanor (from the secret portal), replace one of the weaker units for a higher win rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I AFK farm Anime Vanguards summer portals without a macro?

Technically yes, but you’ll need to manually left‑click every 10 seconds and upgrade units. A macro saves significant time and effort. The community strongly recommends using one for consistency.

2. What is the best tier to farm for Escanor’s memoria?

Secret portals (Tier 1 difficulty) have the highest chance—around 1% per completion. Since they are easy to solo, you can chain them quickly. Tier 4 portals do not drop the memoria.

3. Why does my game lag so much during the summer portals?

The Scorching Fate Trial is not well optimized. Lower your graphics, play in windowed mode, and restart every 60 minutes. If your FPS drops below 20, consider reducing your macro loop frequency.

4. Can I use a different team to solo summer portals?

Yes, but the Pain/Naruto/Rukia/Alucard/Brooke lineup is the most consistent according to player experience. Substitutions like Ichigo or Luffy may work, but you’ll need to adjust placement and memoria choices.

Whether you’re chasing the elusive Escanor’s memoria or just want to stock up on Divinity memoria, the Anime Vanguards summer portals offer a fantastic opportunity to power up your roster. Use the AFK strategy outlined here, and you’ll be raking in rewards while you sleep. Stay tuned for more seasonal event guides on our site!
