Lone Gaze
Lone Gaze 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.
What’s the meta team?
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. 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
Season 2 Teams (Pre-Endless)
In Season 2 it will take a few weeks to unlock Endless mode and due to how True Damage works pre-Endless (it being weaker than normal damage), the meta will most likely look slightly different compared to the established Season 1 teams. Also, Season 2 comes with brand new Artifacts that also can have a big impact on the meta teams.
We will add the teams that work best for us every rotation here soon!

Boss Mechanics
The Dream Realm version of the Lone Gaze is basically a copy of the fight we know from the Primal Lord event. Here are the boss skills:
Skills
- Ultimate - Every 10, 40 and 70 seconds a mist will descend on the battlefield. It will shroud the Wolf King, allowing him to summon wolf packs to attack mist-covered enemies. The Wolf King has a chance to dodge attacks within the mist,
- Skill 1 - Charges towards the farthest target and strikes. Summons spectral wolves to attack the farthest target when the mist exists.
- Skill 2 - Deals damage twice to the targets within a 1-tile arc. Then deals damage to the enemies within 1 tile and inflicts an interruption effect.
- Passive - Gains stats boost when defeating a non-summoned enemy.
Tips and tricks
- Use a Healer and a Shielder. The damage the boss outputs is the highest and most consistent of all bosses - especially the phantom wolves that are summoned periodically. You need to ensure that the team is not only as close to full HP as possible, but you also need to bring a source of Shields to further increase the eHP of the team. And if someone from your team dies, the fight will snowball in the favor of the boss due to his passive.
- Consider using damage dealers who can keep themselves alive and provide additional utility to the team.
- The fight is very RNG heavy. The phantom wolves can one-shot one of your supports at anytime, instantly wiping your team. So if your team doesn't perform too well, give it a few tries before giving up or looking for a different formation.
