'The King of Fighters AFK' (hereinafter KOF AFK) features basic dungeons where you can obtain growth materials. Each dungeon allows you to increase elemental damage by fielding fighters of a specific element, making them easier to clear. However, some users fail to clear these dungeons because they simply field their highest-level fighters regardless of element or fail to utilize synergy effects. Therefore, KookminTree introduces recommended decks that match the elemental requirements of each dungeon while also maximizing synergy effects.

Q. What kind of party should I assemble for the Gold Rush dungeon?
A. We recommend a Moon-attribute fighter combination that triggers Wedge 2 and Encroachment 2.

First, let's look at the 'Gold Rush' dungeon, where you can obtain large amounts of gold. In this dungeon, elemental damage increases for every Moon-attribute fighter fielded. The boss, G.G. King Slime, appears as a single unit initially, but splits into five G.G. Slimes once its health is depleted.

The most recommended party combination is 'Kula - Spooky Iori - Orochi Leona - Yashiro - Shermie'. Position Yashiro and Shermie in the front line, and the remaining three in the rear. This configuration provides Wedge 2, Encroachment 2, and Special 1 synergies.

Kula and Spooky Iori are fighters recently gaining attention from top-tier ranked players, characterized by their ability to deal powerful additional damage. By adding Yashiro and Shermie to activate the Wedge synergy, you can lower the enemy's defense and deal even greater damage.

For pets, we recommend 'Demonio', which was obtainable during the recent Spooky Night event, or 'Candy Sherbet', which can be summoned through the ongoing 'Cheer up' event. Both provide Encroachment synergy, which helps increase the damage of Kula and Spooky Iori. Since it is difficult to obtain pets with synergy effects at Unique grade or higher, if you do not have pets related to Wedge or Encroachment, use the pet with the highest grade.

Q. What is the recommended party for the Dark Martial Arts Hall dungeon?
A. We suggest a Mai and Athena build that prioritizes Patience and Fury synergies.

Another basic dungeon, the Dark Martial Arts Hall, rewards fighter EXP upon defeating the boss. In this dungeon, elemental damage increases for every Star-attribute fighter fielded. The boss, D. Stan, appears alone, and both its active and finish skills are projectile-based, meaning your fighters' counter-attacks will not trigger.

The recommended combination is 'Mai - Athena - Kensou - Kasumi - Orochi Leona'. Position Kasumi and Orochi Leona in the front line, while Mai, Athena, and Kensou deal damage from the rear. This team configuration activates Patience 2, Fury 2, and Special 1 synergies.

When positioned in the front line, Kasumi's max HP increases by 20%, and using an active skill provides a defense increase buff to allies in the same row for 2 turns, allowing her to endure attacks. Orochi Leona's passive skill, 'Immortal', prevents her HP from dropping below 1 for 1 turn, allowing her to effectively tank enemy attacks.

Mai is one of the Fury synergy fighters most utilized by rankers, and her advantage is that she recovers a large amount of PG when using her finish skill, allowing her to use it again quickly. Athena provides an attack increase buff and critical damage increase to allies in the same row, playing a role in boosting Mai's damage.

Kensou is included to activate Mai's Fury synergy. Among Star-attribute Legend fighters, both Shen Woo and Kensou have the Fury synergy, so it doesn't matter which one you use. For pets, we recommend Fury synergy pets like 'Koyo' or 'Anone' to increase Mai's finish skill damage.

Q. Which fighters should I use for the City of Rage?
A. Go for heavy hitters like Kyo, Spooky Mature, and Terry.

The final basic dungeon is the City of Rage, where you collect fuel for Lucky Ride. In this dungeon, elemental damage increases based on the number of Sun-attribute fighters. Enemies include multiple attackers such as Johnny, Jeremy, and James, appearing over four waves.

For this dungeon, we recommend fielding 'Kyo - Spooky Mature - Terry - Chizuru - Orochi Leona'. Chizuru, who can evade, and Orochi Leona, who has immortality, hold the front line, while Kyo, Spooky Mature, and Terry provide firepower. This configuration completes Execution 2, Fury 2, and Special 1 synergies.

Kyo and Terry have been consistently chosen by rankers as main dealers since their release. Kyo is currently ranked 1st in pick rate in ranked matches according to the Meca Ranking, and Terry is 3rd. The recently added Execution fighter, Spooky Mature, is popular as Terry's synergy partner due to useful effects such as powerful damage, HP recovery, and PG generation.

For pets, any pet with Execution or Fury synergy is fine. This is because you have already composed excellent dealers for both Execution and Fury. If you do not have Chizuru, Meitenkun can be a substitute, and if you do not have Terry or Spooky Mature, using KUSANAGI is also a good option.
