Alpha Bear AFK Journey: the best team comps

The Alpha Bear is the new boss of AFK Journey's Dream Realm, released to coincide with the Song of Strife season. He joins Skyclops, Snow Stomper, King Croaker and Necrodrakon. The Alpha Bear is known for marking enemies with honey and then inflicting massive damage. To beat this boss, you'll need the right training to avoid one of his AoEs, as well as the most appropriate heroes. Let's see which is the AFK Journey Alpha Bear best team.

AFK Journey Alpha Bear best team in early game (F2P)

For this fight, you'll need a tank that can not only heal itself effectively, but also apply healing to the rest of the team. That's why we suggest Smokey & Meerky for the AFK Journey Alpha Bear best team in F2P. You should also opt for ranged DPS, so that you can avoid the boss's direct attacks.

To complete this team, two artefacts can be considered:

• The Awakening spell, if you're having trouble surviving this fight,
• The Starburst spell to boost your damage.

As with all the other bosses, don't forget the faction bonus conferred by using several heroes of the same class. You now know the AFK Journey Alpha Bear best team in F2P for the early game.

AFK Journey Alpha Bear best team: optimal comps of the current meta

To survive this fight, you need to prevent the massive boss AoE that occurs when no hero is marked by the honey from the swarm he summons. So in the AFK Journey Alpha Bear best team, you'll need a range 1 hero capable of tanking the boss.

As for the artefact to use in the late game, it's best to choose the Stellar Shard spell to boost your damage.

First meta team for the Alpha Bear in the late game

• Smokey & Meerky
• Koko
• Korin
• Marilee
• Reinier Mythic +

In this configuration, Koko plays the role of tank. She can't be separated from Reinier Mythic+, who can transport her to the side of the boss. Marilee can also be replaced by Vala, who will be particularly effective when the boss is mid-life. That's an initial suggestion for the AFK Journey Alpha Bear best team.

Second meta team for Alpha Bear in late game

• Thoran
• Marilee
• Odie
• Reinier Mythic +
• Smokey & Meerky

Koko is replaced by Thoran and Korin by Odie, as the main DPS. You can also choose Cecia, a ranged DPS who is also a good alternative.

Strategy for beating the Alpha Bear in AFK Journey

First of all, the Alpha Bear will summon a swarm that generates 80% damage to the heroes in your team. This swarm will also mark them with honey. When all your heroes are marked, a larger swarm will be summoned to inflict 250% damage per second until the end of the fight.

When there are no heroes marked with honey around the boss, the boss will generate an AoE that causes 400% damage. That's why it's so important to have a range 1 tank in your formation, as well as a healer capable of healing at all times.
