Let’s explore what exactly Happiness is and what it does in Yet Another Zombie Survivors.

Yet Another Zombie Survivors: Happiness Explained

Your squad is made up of several different characters, and each one has stats that you will want to level up through training. The general stats are Endurance, Charisma, Strength, Intellect, and Agility. These stats are leveled up when you spend training points on them, however, one stat is different: Happiness.

Happiness actually resets every time you load up a new match, and is not leveled up with points like the others. You can think of Happiness as a luck stat that affects your match; with higher Happiness, you receive better and more frequent drops to help you heal up and protect yourselves.

So how do we get more Happiness? There is only one way to increase Happiness during each match and that is to find and open yellow chests and choose to buff the Happiness option. While it isn’t essential, it is definitely recommended to choose Happiness if you want a long run thanks to having more Health and Protection items during the match.

You will have the choice between Happiness and one other upgrade but it is best if you choose Happiness, especially at the start of the match, to get the most out of its effect. Try it out and see if it makes a difference to your Yet Another Zombie Survivors runs!
