The new Anime Vanguards Update 9 brings tons of content — from powerful new units like Dio Over Heaven to the limited-time Anniversary Special Stage. But if you want to unlock everything in the shop, you’ll need a massive amount of Cake, the new event currency. Luckily, this guide covers the easiest AFK macro method to farm Cake efficiently while you sleep. Also check out Anime Vanguards Codes for more rewards!


How the AFK Cake Farm & What You need:

The method focuses on macro farming the 9th Anniversary Special Stage, which gives tons of Cake and gems with minimal effort. You’ll only need to clear Stage 8 once to unlock it — that’s the hardest part. After that, you can automate Stage 9 endlessly using TinyTask, letting your setup farm Cake overnight. Requirements Before You Start, before farming, make sure you have:

  • Stage 8 cleared (you can get carried if it’s too difficult).
  • Strong units such as Toji, Broly, and Sukuna for reliable DPS.
  • Optional units like Monarch Escanor or Monarch Obito can speed up your runs, but they’re not mandatory.
  • The TinyTask app (a lightweight macro recorder) – Download!

If Stage 8 feels impossible, team up with other players who already beat it. Once Stage 9 is unlocked, it becomes much easier to grind consistently.

Best Units to Use

How to AFK Farm Cake Anime Vanguards Update 9

  • Toji (Non-Monarch or Monarch) – Handles shielded enemies effectively. You’ll need two Tojis: one on each spawn side.
  • Broly – Great AOE unit for massive wave clearing.
  • Sukuna – Adds consistent damage across multiple enemies.
  • Obito (Optional) – Can teleport to handle stray enemies or switch positions fast.

Even if you don’t have Monarch versions, regular units still work well enough for this setup.

Step-by-Step Setup

How to AFK Farm Cake Anime Vanguards Update 9

  1. Start Stage 9 (Anniversary Special Stage).
  2. Place your first Toji at the left spawn side to handle the first wave’s shielded mobs.
  3. Set down Obito or another DPS unit nearby for backup damage.
  4. Add your Broly and Sukuna in central positions to control both paths.
  5. Place and upgrade farms early on until around Wave 9, then max your DPS units.
  6. Add a second Toji on the opposite spawn point to deal with additional shielded enemies.
  7. Max your Broly and Sukuna before the boss phase.
  8. Use Toji’s ability and Sukuna’s nukes during the final boss for faster clears.

Once your setup is complete, each run will finish in about 2–3 minutes, depending on your unit strength.

Setting Up the Macro

  1. Open TinyTask and go to Preferences → Continuous Playback.
  2. Set your Record Hotkey (F8) and Playback Hotkey (Print Screen).
  3. Start recording (F8) and perform your setup — place units, upgrade farms, and finish one run.
  4. End the recording with F8, then press Print Screen to loop it infinitely.
  5. Leave your PC running while you sleep or do other tasks.

When set up properly, the macro repeats your entire match perfectly, automatically replaying and collecting Cake nonstop.


Farming Results

If you macro this stage overnight, you can easily collect:

  • Thousands of Cake to clear out the Anniversary Shop
  • Up to 100,000 Gems
  • Enough rerolls to chase Dio Over Heaven or other limited units

This is currently the most efficient Cake farming method available in the update, requiring almost no manual input once started.


So, Make sure your game doesn’t disconnect due to inactivity — keep sound on or use an anti-AFK plugin. Avoid lag-heavy servers for smoother macro runs. If your macro breaks, simply redo the first recording more cleanly. Toji is essential — without him, shielded enemies can stall your runs.

Farming Cake in Anime Vanguards Update 9 doesn’t have to be a grind. With this AFK macro method, you can stack Cake, gems, and rerolls effortlessly while saving your time.

Once your setup is optimized, you’ll be able to unlock Dio Over Heaven and every anniversary item with ease. Set up your macro, let it run, and watch your Cake count skyrocket — this is truly the best AFK farming method in Update 9.
