  • ----------------------------
  • Joy spawns with 200-250 seconds on the timer at random.
  • When Joy spawns, the round will be taken over with "Joy will soon awaken.". Joy will remain asleep over the thorn until the time is around 180. After 180, it will wake up indicated by a loud warning and reveal it's thruster & open it's eyes. When this happens, the round take over becomes "Joy has awoken.".
  • Joy will target random spots near players at random and occasionally track players. Joy has two types of movement, one behavior where it will rocket around at high speed, and another where it will 'stalk' players. Contact with Joy causes instant death alongside an explosion sfx, bypassing all forms of protection.
  • While rocketing, Joy has little control over its direction and will move forwards very quickly at a pseudo random speed. Due to Joy's turning, it typically does circles when moving like this. When a target is far from Joy, it also may try to gain height. After a random amount of time, it will shift into stalking behavior.
  • While stalking, it emits a loud vocal sound, Joy moves continuously at a slower but still very fast speed towards a location or target. Joy also may strafe to resync its position. Joy can also rotate freely to aim itself wherever it wants during this time, making it very difficult to get away from if a player is being targeted. It may also drift to get a better angle. After a random amount of time, Joy will begin rocketing around again. Occasionally after entering its stalking movement, it will either fire off a barrage of missiles which then impact nearby players; dealing heavy damage and inflicting burn, or charge up and fire two beams from its eyes, inflicting heavy damage and inflicting burn.
  • ----------------------------
  • Joy's mechanical appearance is inspired by the Mechanical Bosses from Terraria.
  • Joy was originally completely round to look exactly like Joy in Midnight Horrors. Additionally, it used to be larger and target much faster.
