This setup is currently considered the strongest overall build in Hunty Zombies. It delivers top-tier damage, excellent cooldown rotation, reliable survivability, and effortless boss clearing. Everything in this guide is designed to work together, giving you a build that performs consistently without requiring expensive items or rare luck.
Core Weapons
Your weapons define your entire damage flow, so the goal is to combine long-range pressure with automatic damage-over-time skills.
Bow – Main Weapon
The Bow sits at the center of this build thanks to its range, skill power, and overall versatility.
Why the Bow is essential:
- Strong single-target and multi-target damage
- Excellent skill scaling
- Works well in every type of activity
- Smooth cooldown rotation with the right upgrades
How to obtain it:
Purchase from the Shogun Raid Shop for 600 Raid Coins.
Recommended upgrades:
- 5 Cooldown upgrades
- 2 Damage upgrades
This gives around 36% cooldown reduction and over 20% extra base damage, keeping your attacks flowing nonstop.
Best traits:
- Critical Damage
- Prodigy
Reaper Scythe – Secondary Weapon
The Reaper Scythe is your burst and damage-over-time engine. Its job is simple: unload all skills, let them tick, and switch back to the bow while the scythe continues damaging enemies automatically.
How to obtain it:
Buy from the Grim Reaper Raid Shop for 1,000 Reaper Coins.
Recommended upgrades:
- 7 Cooldown upgrades
This pushes the Scythe to around 50% cooldown reduction, letting you rotate abilities extremely quickly.
Best traits:
- Critical Damage
- Prodigy
Why Bow + Scythe is the best combo:
- One covers sustained DPS
- One provides high burst and ongoing ticking damage
- Zero downtime in rotations
Recommended Cosmetics
Cosmetics play a large role in your stats. These items boost skill damage, cooldowns, mobility, and critical power.

A balanced cosmetic that improves both offense and cooldown flow.
Pirate Hat

Stats include:
- 10% Move Speed
- 5% Coin Gain
- 15% Critical Damage
- +5 Flat Damage
- +50 Health

Best Passives
Passives remain active at all times and unlock strong synergy bonuses when combined correctly.
Recommended passives:
- Mythical AP Passive
- +20% Skill Damage
- Epic HP Passive
- +80 Health
When both are equipped, you unlock Healthy Power, a bonus that increases total damage by 15% whenever your HP is above 80%.
This is why life steal becomes vital for this build—remaining above 80% HP dramatically boosts DPS.
Best Perk
Mythical Double Damage Perk
This perk is ideal because it boosts Strength, which amplifies all weapon damage types, including skill damage and critical hits. It also synergizes perfectly with the crit-heavy nature of the build.
Best Pets
Pets provide major stat boosts and unique effects, making them essential for pushing this build to high performance.
Spirit Fire (Legendary)
Comes from the Presh Pack.
Stats include:
- +10 Walk Speed
- +150 HP
- +10 Damage
- +2% Life Steal
- +10% Critical Damage
- +15% Attack Speed
The life steal and attack speed combination keeps you healthy and consistently damaging enemies.
Presh Pet (Mythical)
Also from the Presh Pack.
Stats include:
- 5% Critical Chance
- 25% Critical Damage
- +10 Walk Speed
- 3% Cooldown Reduction
- 5% Coin Gain
- Special effect: every 10th attack or skill deals double damage
This effect triggers often enough to significantly increase your average DPS.
How to Play the Build
Using this setup feels smooth and powerful once you get into the rotation.
Step-by-step rotation:
- Start fights by activating all Scythe skills.
- Switch to the Bow immediately after.
- Attack continuously with the Bow while Scythe skills tick in the background.
- Rotate back to the Scythe whenever cooldowns finish.
- Stay above 80% HP to maintain the 15% Healthy Power bonus from passives.
- Pets keep you healed, increase crits, and multiply your burst automatically.
There is no need for risky timing or complicated setups—everything naturally fits together.
Why This Build Works So Well
- Constant damage with zero downtime
- Strong burst and strong sustained DPS
- Lifesteal keeps your HP high, activating multiple damage bonuses
- Easily farmable thanks to raid shops
- Works in every type of content (bosses, events, farming, raids)

This build succeeds through reliability. Even in long boss fights, you maintain pressure and stay alive without slowing down.
