The New Joker Character: Abilities and Strategies

The star of Update 14 is undoubtedly the new Joker character. This enigmatic survivor brings a completely new playstyle to Hunty Zombies with his unique abilities and quirky personality.

Joker’s Background

According to the game’s lore, Joker was once a circus performer who survived the initial zombie outbreak by using his acrobatic skills and quick thinking. His backstory reveals he lost his family during the outbreak, which has made him somewhat unhinged but also incredibly resourceful.

Joker’s Unique Abilities

Chaotic Dodge – Joker has a 25% chance to dodge any incoming attack completely. This passive ability makes him surprisingly durable despite his average health pool.
Trickster’s Gambit – Active ability that allows Joker to create decoys of himself for 10 seconds. These decoys attract zombies, giving you time to reposition or attack. Cooldown: 45 seconds.
Wild Card – Ultimate ability that randomly enhances one of your weapons for 30 seconds with a special effect (increased damage, elemental damage, or infinite ammo). Cooldown: 120 seconds.

Best Strategies for Playing Joker

Based on my experience with the character, here are the most effective strategies:

Aggressive Playstyle – Joker excels at close to mid-range combat. His Chaotic Dodge ability allows you to take more risks than other characters.
Decoy Placement – Use Trickster’s Gambit to create chokepoints or escape routes. Placing decoys at narrow passages can funnel zombies into kill zones.
Weapon Versatility – Since Joker’s Wild Card randomly enhances weapons, carrying a variety of weapon types ensures you’ll always benefit from the ability.
Team Support – In multiplayer modes, Joker’s decoys can save teammates by drawing enemy attention during critical moments.

New Weapons in Update 14

Update 14 introduces five exciting new weapons that perfectly complement Joker’s chaotic playstyle. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each:

1. Chaos Staff (Legendary)

Damage: 65-80
Fire Rate: Medium
Special Effect: Has a 15% chance to apply a random status effect (burn, freeze, or electric) to enemies

2. Joker’s Wild (Epic)

Damage: 45-55
Fire Rate: High
Special Effect: Every 5th shot deals 3x damage and has increased knockback
Best Use: Close-quarters combat against elite enemies

3. Prankster’s Pistol (Rare)

Damage: 30-35
Fire Rate: Very High
Special Effect: Headshots have a 20% chance to cause nearby enemies to briefly attack each other
Best Use: Precise targeting to create chaos among enemy ranks

4. Laughing Gas Grenade (Epic)

Damage: 25 (initial) + 50 (over 5 seconds)
Fire Rate: N/A (Throwable)
Special Effect: Creates a cloud of gas that damages and slows enemies
Best Use: Area denial and controlling enemy movement

5. Deck of Throws (Legendary)

Damage: Varies (40-100)
Fire Rate: Medium
Special Effect: Each throw uses a random card type with different effects (damage, heal, or status)
Best Use: Versatile combat tool for various situations

Weapon Upgrade Paths

The new weapons follow the same upgrade system as existing ones, but with unique branching paths:

Chaos Staff can specialize in either elemental damage or crowd control
Joker’s Wild can focus on either critical hits or rapid fire
Prankster’s Pistol can be upgraded for either accuracy or status effect duration
