Starting fresh in Hunty Zombies can feel overwhelming. You have nothing, basic weapon, a few coins, and no pets, but with the right strategy, you can climb from absolute noob to boss-slaying pro. This guide lays out a step-by-step progression path: which modes to farm, which weapons and pets to prioritize, how to handle raids, and how to tackle every boss in the game.
Early Coins & Endless Mode (Quests)

The first step is to claim all available codes. On a fresh account, codes give coins, trait spins, perk spins, and pet resources. They act as a starter pack, boosting your account far beyond what early grinding can achieve. Once codes are used, focus on clearing early waves in Endless Mode.
School map is ideal because of its compact layout, which makes it easier to hit enemies efficiently. At this stage, your bat’s basic attacks are weak, but skill attacks will let you survive and generate coins. Mini-bosses like Cosplay Zombies are tough, so kiting and skill timing are crucial.

Guide quests are another early-game priority. Completing them rewards massive coin amounts, weapon spins, perk spins, and rerolls. This is where you can start pulling stronger weapons like Katana or Scissors and securing useful perks such as Undead for cooldown reduction and movement speed.
Early pets like Frog or Cat help with survivability, while later pulls like Penguin and P Fresh give skill damage and multipliers essential for boss fights.
Farming & Weapon Upgrades (Weapon Priorities)

Once you’ve got some coins and spins, it’s time to focus on weapons. Katana is an excellent starter weapon for skill-heavy builds, and rerolling traits like Focus III enhances your damage significantly. Scissors works well as a secondary weapon to maintain passive uptime while your main weapon is on cooldown.
Once you’re able to pull a divine weapon like Wizard, it becomes the cornerstone of your progression. Pair it with Critical Damage trait and skill-oriented perks to maximize effectiveness.
Weapon mastery should not be ignored. Grinding mastery levels, especially for Wizard, increases base damage, skill damage, and overall weapon performance. Even if the grind is slow, mastery levels create a smoother, more consistent damage output, making boss fights far more manageable.
Pets and Passives

Pets provide more than just stats, they give multipliers and healing that turn a strong account into an unstoppable one. Early pets improve survivability, but P Fresh and Penguin become essential for damage scaling. Passives are equally important.
Mythical ATK and AP passives unlock Berserker, which multiplies damage every fifth skill. This combination dramatically increases DPS during raid boss fights, making previously impossible fights feasible. Pet upgrades are costly, so focus on ones that provide skill damage or multipliers first.
Farming and Resource Management

Endless Mode is your primary farming tool. Even when you die, you keep the coins, making every run a step forward. Early waves should be cleared quickly to avoid overextension, while mid to late waves require careful positioning, skill rotation, and awareness of ranged enemies like Boombox Zombies.
Mastery farming, perk upgrades, and additional weapon rerolls can all be integrated into Endless runs. The key is steady progress: building coins, resources, and experience to handle more difficult bosses.
Boss Progression (How to Beat EACH Boss)

Shogun (Ashura Samurai) is typically the first raid to tackle. With Wizard as your main weapon and Scissors as support, focus on consistent skill damage and proper rotation. Avoid panic-spamming; discipline wins here. Once Shogun falls, move on to Reaper Side Boss. The strategy is similar: maintain passive uptime, rotate weapons, and focus on consistency rather than burst.
Joker introduces a bigger challenge due to his massive health pool. Build your Awakening bar carefully, and only unleash it at the right moment. Distance, positioning, and patience are key. Joker goes down quickly if skills and rotations are timed correctly.
Sukuna (Vessel) is the final test. Teleports, movement, and tricky mechanics make chasing him a fatal mistake. Instead, play for windows: wait for committed actions, punish appropriately, and use Awakening only when it will hit. Patience, rotation discipline, and proper passive stacking make Sukuna conquerable even on a fresh account.
Late Game Optimization

Cosmetics that boost walk speed, crit chance, crit damage, and skill damage become essential. By combining high-skill-damage weapons with optimized pets, Berserker passives, and strong perks, your build reaches endgame-tier power.
Additional weapons like Candy Cane can be added to diversify damage sources and maintain skill uptime. At this stage, farming for coins, pet upgrades, and mastery is the final push to make all raid bosses manageable.
Wrap-Up
Start strong with codes and guide quests, prioritize skill-oriented weapons, pets, and passives, use Endless Mode for farming and mastery, and approach bosses with careful timing rather than reckless damage. With this methodical approach, even a fresh account can defeat every boss in Hunty Zombies, including Shogun, Reaper, Joker, and Sukuna.
