Best Abilities in Yet Another Zombie Survivors

There are six characters in Yet Another Zombie Survivors and each of them has two unique abilities that players can upgrade during a run.

However, you can only have three survivors in your squad and you can’t upgrade every ability early on. Thus, it’s important to know which ones to prioritize.

In this guide, I will list the best abilities in Yet Another Zombie Survivors to help you decide which ones to get first.

Combine this with our guide on the best Team Leader in Yet Another Zombie Survivors to make sure you’ve got the most optimal build.

Best Abilities in Yet Another Zombie Survivors

Best abilities in Yet Another Zombie Survivors.

Without further delay, here are the five best abilities in YAZS:

5. Shuriken (Ghost)

The Shuriken is an ability used by Ghost that shoots three Shuriken in front of him to damage enemies. These go through enemies, deal solid damage, and have an extremely short cooldown.

Due to that, maxing it out early on will help you survive longer as the Ghost, especially since it’s his only ranged ability.

4. Helicopter Strike (SWAT)

Helicopter Strike is a SWAT ability that calls a helicopter to clear a random path through the map. While the path is random, if you position yourself properly and get slightly lucky, you can have that helicopter clearing even hundreds of zombies.

It’s an easy get-out-of-jail card and upgrading it will lower its cooldown significantly.

3. Eagle Eye (Huntress)

Best abilities in Yet Another Zombie Survivors.

Eagle Eye is an amazing passive by Huntress that increases the Critical Hit Chance of all allies. If you want to focus on a Critical Build, this ability is a must-have as it will make it easier to take down bosses.

Combined with some Critical Hit Chance/Damage items and some of the best upgrades in the game like Hawk Eye and Boom Headshot, you’ll make the best Huntress build in Yet Another Zombie Survivors.

2. Arrow Rain (Huntress)

Arrow Rain is the second of Huntress’ abilities. It shoots arrows from the sky in an AoE area in front of her to damage enemies.

Any AoE ability is useful in this game and Arrow Rain is a great choice for clearing hordes of enemies. Upgrading it will increase its damage and reduce its cooldown to the point where it will help you clear waves single-handedly.

1. Electrocute (Engineer)

The best ability in Yet Another Zombie Survivors is Electrocute, which is an Engineer ability. Electrocute zaps all enemies around you and damages them. It deals enough damage to one-shot all small enemies and has a great range.

If you can, I recommend having the Electrocute ability on every run as it will clear all enemies surrounding you every few seconds.

At max level, it deals even more damage and has a lower cooldown so that you’ll always have a get-out-of-jail card.

Should you Upgrade Abilities or Weapons First?

In general, I highly recommend picking up each ability once, then fully upgrading weapons, and then upgrading the best abilities.

Weapon upgrades can help you clear runs significantly easier and are more consistent than most ability upgrades.

Every ability can be helpful to some extent but exactly because of how inconsistent most of them are, they aren’t worth inventing much early on.

Combined with the best upgrades in the game, you’ll get more value by upgrading your weapons first in Yet Another Zombie Survivors.

Wrapping up

To sum up, these are the best abilities in Yet Another Zombie Survivors.

Pick every ability at level one when available, upgrade your weapons, and then upgrade the best abilities to have the most optimal setup in the game.

What’s your favorite ability overall? Do you think it’s worth upgrading some abilities before weapons? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
