Pokepath TD — Fast Gold Farming (Wave 100 AFK Method)

This article explains a practical way to set up a reliable AFK gold farm in Pokepath TD around the boss wave. I rewrote and expanded the original flow to focus on actionable placement and optimization tips; the original guide that inspired this post is cited at the end.

Quick setup (what to do first)

These are the essential steps to make this farm consistent and low-effort:

Step 1 — Get to the boss wave consistently

The strategy hinges on reliably reaching the boss wave (Wave 100). Bosses typically spend more time on the map, which lets on-hit gold units rack up extra hits.

Step 2 — Use Auto Retry for fully unattended farming

Enable Auto Retry so the same wave restarts automatically after a failure — this turns a single successful configuration into a repeatable AFK loop.

Step 3 — Main combo: Persian + Ditto (copy the farmer)

  • Persian — your primary gold unit; earns gold every time it hits.
  • Ditto — duplicates Persian so you effectively gain a second copy that behaves the same.

Together these form the backbone of the method: one reliable money unit plus a Ditto copy.

Step 4 — Add crowd-control so the boss stays in range

Choose 1–3 control units to keep the boss inside Persian’s range longer:

  • Corsola — wide AOE slow that holds enemies in place.
  • Ampharos — dependable AOE stun to lock bosses briefly.
  • Optional: Cryogonal or Seel for additional slow/stun layers.

Practical tip: position slows/stuns where the boss path bends so it spends maximum time under Persian fire.

Step 5 — Leveling and cadence

Persian’s attack rhythm improves with levels. Players commonly report noticeably faster cadence when Persian is leveled significantly (e.g., late-game levels); prioritizing Persian upgrades will directly increase gold per run.

Team templates and alternatives

Core

  • Persian (gold on-hit)
  • Ditto (copies Persian)

Control (pick the best two you own)

  • Corsola — slow
  • Ampharos — stun

Optional support

  • Maractus — great AOE on grass tiles
  • Excadrill — armor-breaker for tankier waves
  • Gengar — single-target DPS for general stability

Placement & optimization tips (added)

  • Place Persian where the path causes enemies to turn or linger — bends and choke points are the most valuable spots.
  • Put Corsola early enough to tag enemies before they enter Persian’s zone, and Ampharos where enemies cluster so stuns land inside Persian range.
  • Consider leveling Persian before Ditto if you depend on late-game attack cadence. Ditto simply copies the current Persian stats at the time of transformation.
  • If you need stability, replace one optional slot with a hard wave-clear unit rather than another control unit.

Why the method is effective (short)

  • Boss waves tend to linger, producing many attack windows for on-hit gold units.
  • A Ditto copy effectively doubles your money-producing units.
  • Slows and stuns maximize the number of hits those units can land.

Troubleshooting

  • Persian feels slow midgame — prioritize reaching Wave 100 and adding control units; then continue leveling Persian.
  • Can't reach Wave 100 reliably — add 1–2 strong wave-clear units (Maractus / Excadrill / Gengar) and consider more durable support.

TL;DR

  1. Reach the boss wave reliably.
  2. Turn on Auto Retry.
  3. Run Persian with a Ditto copy.
  4. Add Corsola + Ampharos (or equivalents) for control.
  5. Level Persian for better cadence.
  6. AFK and collect gold.
