Joy is a Killer added in Version 1.50. Joy originates from the game RUN.
Appearance
Joy is a giant yellow ball with the epic face. While asleep, its eyes will be closed, opening them upon awakening.
Behavior
On spawn, Joy will overwrite the timer to 2:25 - 3:00 randomly. After waiting out the extended time, it will wake up and proceed to give chase. Throughout the round, it will choose a random target to chase, floating, stalking, and flying towards them while killing anything that comes in contact with it instantly. Aside from ally NPCs, Joy will only target players who are alive. It may perform a speed boost which is greatly faster compared to the Emerald Coil. If it takes too long to kill its target, it may switch targets. The time it stays on its target is random.
Notes
- Joy will target ally NPCs (excluding Toast), making ally spawning items like the Noob Tube helpful for distracting Joy.
- Joy is one of the few killers that will chase Epic Orb spawned from Stress Ball. Although, it will still kill it in one blow despite it's great health pool.
- If Joy cannot find a target due to the effects of Killer Ignore or when all available targets are eliminated, it will become immobile and harmless (until a new target becomes available).
- While Joy cannot harm players with Invulnerability or Killer Ignore, Joy will not change targets even when players use Invulnerability Items like Blue Relic or Killer Ignore Items like Cloak of Invisibility.
- If the last player remaining uses any form of Invulnerability or Killer Ignore, Joy will immediately retarget onto the same player unless an ally NPC is alive or is spawned before the end of the duration of the Invulnerability/Killer Ignore.
- During a Ghost round, Joy's face will be visible only from the front view.
- Joy will sometime remain briefly immobile as it stares at its target.
- During Clones round, due to multiple instances of Joy spawning, the timer will be overwritten three times, having the timer extended by the duration of the most recent Joy that spawned.
- Since the duration of the time extension of each Joy is randomized, each Joy may awaken at different times, with two Joys awakening before or after the two minute mark while one awakening at the usual two minute mark.
- Despite its large size, Joy can still be relocated by Relocate Trap.
- Joy can possibly be outrun with Decay Coil.
