What Is the Joker Raid in Hunty Zombie?

Hunty Zombie is a fast–paced Roblox survival game focused on mowing down zombie hordes, unlocking weapons, perks, pets, and cosmetics. At endgame, you unlock Raid mode: instanced boss fights that reward raid coins, rare accessories, pets, and weapon parts.

The Joker Raid was added in the Joker Update, which also introduced:

• Joker (Raid Boss)
• Joker Card (Mythic raid weapon)
• Joker (Divine perk)
• New cosmetics: Jester Staff, Jester Rings, Jester Hat, Jester Mask
• New pet: Pawker
• New traits: Midas, Yoriichi

Joker is currently one of the available raid bosses alongside Shogun and Grim Reaper. He is tuned as a late–game DPS and mechanics check, especially when fought solo.

How to Unlock & Start Joker Raid

• Reach late game and get comfortable clearing campaign maps and earlier raids (Shogun / Grim Reaper). Raids are designed for players who already have solid weapons, perks, and pets.
• Obtain Raid Tickets by running campaign maps. Any difficulty has a chance to drop Raid Tickets, which you then spend to queue into raids.
• From the raid interface, select the Joker Raid and start either solo or with a party.

Tip: For maximum Joker Coin income, solo clears are best, since raid coin rewards scale down heavily when you share with others or don’t top the damage charts.

Joker Boss Stats & Scaling

When the fight starts, Joker spawns with:

• Base HP: 3,000,000
• HP scaling in co–op: +500,000 HP per teammate

Examples:

• Solo: 3,000,000 HP
• 2–man: 3,500,000 HP
• 3–man: 4,000,000 HP, and so on

The fight is on a timer, so if your DPS is low and your build is not optimized, you’ll time out even if you don’t die. That’s why high–crit builds and optimized skill rotations are so important.

Joker’s Attack Patterns & How to Dodge Them

Understanding Joker’s moves is half the fight. Here’s what he does and how you should react.

1. Long–Range Laser Beam

What it is:
Joker fires a red laser straight ahead in a line that can easily one–shot squishier builds.

Telegraph:
He pauses, aims, and a laser line appears.

Important:
While channeling the laser, Joker cannot move.

How to deal with it:

• Always strafe and stay in motion; never stand still directly in front of him.
• When you see him wind up, sidestep out of the line rather than running backward in a straight path.
• Use this window to dump damage from the side or behind him since he’s rooted during the beam.

2. Aggressive Melee Rush

What it is:
Joker closes the gap quickly and applies heavy contact damage if he reaches you.

Telegraph:
A sudden, sharp movement or “lunge” animation right before he rushes.

How to deal with it:

• Maintain mid–to–long range positioning.
• When he twitches or lunges, dash / sprint sideways, not straight back.
• If he’s on top of you, use mobility skills or weapon dashes to escape, then reset distance.

3. Falling Cards (Explosive AoE Rain)

What it is:
Cards rain from above, land on the ground, and then explode in a large area.

Nature:
Randomized patterns that can quickly trap or delete you if you panic.

How to deal with it:

• Zoom your camera out so you can see the whole attack zone.
• Once you notice cards falling in a region, move decisively to a clear patch instead of micro–dodging each card.
• Avoid staying near the center of the spawn pattern; rotate toward an edge to reduce overlap.

4. Card Mines on the Floor (Area Control)

What it is:
Cards appear on the ground and act like mines. Touching them detonates an explosion.

Purpose:
Joker uses this pattern to restrict safe areas and funnel you into bad positioning for the next attack.

Duration:
The cards despawn after roughly 10 seconds.

How to deal with it:

• Don’t panic. Identify a larger open area and rotate toward it early.
• Avoid weaving through tight card clusters; one misstep will trigger a chain of hits.
• Once the safe pocket is found, stay there and be ready for the next mechanic (often laser or rush).

Recommended Builds & Best Loadouts for Joker Raid

There is no one “mandatory” build, but community testing and guides highlight a crit–focused, skill–spam setup with strong mobility and sustain as the most reliable way to solo Joker.

Below is an example high–performing endgame loadout archetype you can aim for.

Core Weapons

From existing community builds:

• Bow (Exclusive)
  • Great sustained DPS at range.
  • Strong choice for a main raid weapon due to reliable crit scaling and ranged uptime.
• Reaper Scythe (Exclusive or Limited, depending on version)
  • High burst and a good skill set for close–range punishes.
  • Excellent for weaving in high–damage skills when Joker is locked into his laser or other rooted animations.
• Wizard (Cosmetic / themed weapon)
  • Synergizes well with cooldown reduction builds.
  • Lets you rotate skills frequently for sustained DPS.
• Red Blade cosmetic
  • Often recommended for Joker setups because it buffs crit and damage output, making your entire kit hit harder.

You don’t need this exact combination on day one, but aim your progression in this direction if you want consistent raid clears.

Cosmetics

Several cosmetics are highlighted as very strong in Joker runs:

• Pumpkin Head / Pirate Hat – Popular head cosmetics that provide good offensive stats.
• Red Blade – As mentioned, a powerful crit–oriented cosmetic.

Later, from Joker drops and the raid shop, you can transition into:

• Jester Rings – Excellent offensive stats with crit chance, crit damage, attack speed, and even a bit of lifesteal.
• Jester Staff / Jester Mask / Jester Hat – Themed pieces that round out movement speed, health, skill damage, crit damage, and coin gain.

Perks & Passives

Strong perk/passive ideas for Joker raids include:

• Joker perk (Divine)
  • Grants a random level 5 buff (Strength, Regeneration, or Defense) for 15 seconds on activation.
  • Very strong for raids: you can roll into huge damage or survivability during tight windows.
• Double Damage (Mythic passive)
  • Greatly boosts raw DPS output, especially when paired with crit builds.
• Epic Health passive
  • Extra bulk to survive Joker’s chip damage and occasional mistakes.
• Mythic Ability passive
  • Helps your active abilities perform better and more frequently, improving burst windows.

Other strong raid perks include Vampire / lifesteal options to cover minor mistakes.

Pets

Recommended pets for Joker Raid:

• P Fresh bundle pets (e.g., Spirit Fire) – Great sustain and damage synergy in raids.
• Cosplay Pet – Solid offensive pet option.
• Penguin – Popular for general DPS or utility depending on your build.
• Pawker (Joker raid pet) – Long–term goal pet from Joker drops; expect strong synergy with Joker–themed gear.

In general, aim for pets that provide:

• Crit chance / crit damage
• Attack speed
• Lifesteal or HP sustain
• Movement speed for easier dodging

Skill Tree Setup

Guides strongly recommend leaning into the Crit Skill Tree for Joker raids:

• Max out Crit Chance and Crit Damage nodes.
• On the Wizard side, heavily invest into Cooldown Reduction so you can cycle skills constantly.
• For Bow, put 4–5 points each into Damage and Cooldown, balancing strong hits with frequent ability use.

The idea is simple:

Your build should be about spamming high–impact skills with huge crits while almost never relying on basic attacks.

Step–by–Step Strategy: How to Actually Beat Joker

Phase 0: Positioning & Warm–up

• At the start, establish your “kiting lane”: a wide semi–circle path that keeps Joker in front of you but at mid–range.
• Avoid hugging walls or corners so you always have room to sidestep lasers and card patterns.

Phase 1: Learn His Rhythm

• In the first 20–30 seconds, focus more on dodging than damage.
• Watch how he chains: laser → rush → cards → card–mines.
• Get used to dodging sideways and never tunnel–vision on damage when he twitches or raises his hand.

Phase 2: Abuse Safety Windows

Key punish windows:

Laser Beam:

• As soon as he locks in place for the laser, move out of the line and dump every high–damage skill you have.
• Swap weapons as needed to keep skills rolling instead of basic attacking.

After Melee Rush Misses:

• If he overshoots or ends a dash far from you, use that brief downtime to poke with long–range skills.

Between Card Waves:

• Once you escape a falling–card zone and reach a safe patch, drop your cooldowns aggressively, then reposition for the next telegraph.

Phase 3: HP Thresholds & Panic Moments

Around mid–HP, Joker tends to chain mechanics faster and overlap patterns more often. This is usually where runs fail because players get greedy.

Tips for this part:

• Use defensive perks (Joker perk’s defense/regen roll, health passives) and lifesteal pets to tank small mistakes.
• Stick to the rule: “Mechanics first, damage second.” Missing one DPS window is better than dying.
• If your HP dips low, kite wider, lay off melee range for a full rotation, and let regen/lifesteal pull you back up.

Solo vs Co–op Considerations

Solo Pros

• Lowest possible HP (3M baseline).
• Full control over boss positioning.
• Best Joker Coin income per run.

Solo Cons

• 100% of mechanics are targeting you.
• You need a fully optimized build and high comfort dodging everything.

Co–op Pros

• Extra bodies can soak certain mechanics and buy you windows.
• Easier early clears if your teammates are geared and know the fight.

Co–op Cons

• Boss HP increases by 500k per teammate.
• Coin rewards per person drop.
• If teammates die early, you’re left with higher HP on Joker for the same timer.

If your goal is first clear and learning patterns, co–op is fine. For farming Joker Coins and cards, aim to eventually solo.

Joker Raid Rewards & Drop Rates

From current guide data, Joker Raid drops include:

Guaranteed

• Joker Coins (raid currency, used in the Joker section of the Raid Shop)

Rare & Epic Accessory Drops

• Jester Rings
  • Big boost to movement speed, raw damage, attack speed, crit chance, crit damage, and a bit of lifesteal.
• Jester Staff
  • Blends walk speed, health, damage, skill damage, crit damage, and coin bonus.

Ultra–Rare Items

• Joker Card (raid item / weapon requirement) – very low drop rate; expect a long–term grind.

Approximate drop rates:

• Jester Rings: around 5%

How to Get Joker Coins, Joker Mask & Joker Weapon

Joker Coins

• Earned every time you clear the Joker Raid.
• Solo clears with high damage give the best coin yield per ticket.

Joker Mask

• Purchased from the Raid Shop (Joker tab) for 3,000 Joker Coins.

Joker Weapon (Joker Card weapon)

The Joker Card weapon is obtained through a combination of drops and raid shop purchases:

You need:

• 3,000 Joker Coins
• 1 Joker Card (raid drop)

Then you buy the weapon from the Joker Raid Shop.

The Joker Card weapon is a close–range, high–tempo weapon whose skills (like Joker Burst, Card Cyclone, etc.) reward aggressive play, frequent repositioning, and high crit builds.

Pre–Raid Checklist: Preparing for Joker

Before burning Raid Tickets on Joker, make sure you’ve ticked most of these:

Weapons:

• At least one strong DPS weapon (Bow, Reaper Scythe, high–mastery mythic/divine) and one backup you’re comfortable with.

Perks/Passives:

• A solid offensive core (Double Damage, crit–oriented perks) and at least one sustain/defense option.
• Joker perk if you have it for clutch buffs.

Pets:

• At least one pet providing lifesteal / regen, and others with crit / damage / movement speed.

Skill Tree:

• Crit tree filled out, CDR investment for Wizard/Bow, and enough damage nodes to beat the timer.

Movement:

• Accessories or traits that give walk speed make dodging much more forgiving.

Codes (Optional Boost):

• Redeem the latest Jester–update codes like Jester, TheClown1, NewClownboss, HAHAHAHA, and JKR5 for extra spins and coins to finish your build.

Joker Raid Farming Tips

Short sessions, high focus:
Joker punishes sloppy play. It’s better to do fewer, cleaner runs than spam tickets while tilted.

Track your failures:
If you keep dying to the same mechanic (e.g., card rain), prioritize fixing positioning rather than changing your build immediately.

Upgrade in small steps:

• First goal: consistent clears (even if slow).
• Second goal: faster clears by optimizing rotations and upgrading gear.
• Third goal: solo on farm, stacking Joker Coins, Jester gear, and hunting the Joker Card & Pawker.

Quick FAQ

Q: Can you solo Joker Raid in Hunty Zombie?
Yes. With a crit–focused build, good pets, and a solid understanding of Joker’s mechanics, it’s absolutely possible to solo him before the timer expires. Many builds specifically optimize for solo runs to maximize Joker Coins and drops.

Q: Is Joker worth farming compared to other raids?
Yes. Joker offers strong accessories (Jester Rings/Staff), the Joker Card weapon, and a pet, on top of raid coins. If you enjoy raids, it’s one of the best long–term grinds.

Q: What’s more important, damage or survivability?
You need enough survivability to learn the fight, but once you stop dying to mechanics, prioritize high DPS and crit scaling so you don’t hit the timer wall.
