Happy Face

Happy Face is the rare reward for completing the Angry Face sidequest. At the start of each battle, the wearer spawns near the enemy line and takes a bonus turn before the normal initiative order — but that bonus turn is AI-controlled, meaning you get early aggression without controlling how it plays out. This makes Happy Face a chaotic but powerful opener, best on cats with strong auto-targeted abilities. It's the friendlier counterpart to the Angry Face, which makes the cat fight against you entirely.

The spawn near the enemy line means the wearer begins combat in aggressive positioning, and the AI-controlled bonus turn typically results in an attack against the nearest enemy. Because the bonus turn is AI-controlled, the wearer will generally take whatever action seems most natural given their loadout — melee attackers will swing, ranged attackers will fire, and casters may cast a spell. The key is having abilities that work well when auto-targeted.

Happy Face excels on aggressive cats with AoE or melee abilities that benefit from forward positioning. A high-STR Monk or a Butcher with cleave attacks will auto-attack into enemy clusters effectively during the bonus turn. Cats with targeted debuff abilities are less ideal since the AI may not choose the optimal target. The opening forward spawn also positions the wearer as an early distraction, drawing initial enemy attention away from your squishier allies.
