# Kids’ Characteristics

All Donut Punks’ heroes have certain characteristics that can influence the outcome of any battle.

## Vitality

Set of stats that make up a character's ability to survive in the zombie world.

**Health**: the amount of damage a character can take in battle before being defeated. There is a standard health indicator that is the same for each character. And additional damage modifier (for example, +50), which increases as the character levels up.

**Stamina**: character’s ability to withstand opponents’ perks. The higher the stamina, the shorter the perk effect.

**Speed**: the speed and pace with which the character runs.

## Attack

Attack stats describe character's weapons and their effectiveness when fighting zombies.

**Damage**: the amount of health damage an attack can cause zombies.

Any character has a standard damage indicator and damage modifier that increases as they level up.

**Attack speed**:  The rate at which the character can fire. Higher speed means more shots. The number of shots fired before reloading can also depend on speed.

**Range**: determines how effective a character's shot is, distance-wise.

## SuperAttack

SuperAttack stats describe special combat techniques which are unique for each character.

**Damage**: the amount of health damage an attack can cause zombies.

Standard damage indicator and damage modifier.

**Charging** **speed**: Determined by the number of batteries you need to collect to charge your attack.

**Range**: Identical to normal attack — determines how effective a character's shot is, distance-wise.

## Perks

Perks — coolest combat techniques. That’s why besides your standard stats it’s important to know in and outs of the perk. You can find out more about perks in each character’s profile(link).

**Duration**: how long perk’s effect lasts.

**Recovery** **rate**: time needed to recharge the perk.

**Aim** **type**: indicates perk’s target. It can be players, zombies, items, and even the characters themselves.

**Range**: determines how effective perk is, distance-wise.

# Levels

Levels show how developed the character is. The higher the level, the more health and damage to zombies can be caused.

## Leveling Up

Leveling up in the game comes down to achieving higher levels of each character. Two things you need to do for that:

1. Collect the required number of Leveling Up Cards. They are different for each character. You can find them in Donut Pass backpacks.
2. Have enough donuts necessary for leveling up.

Once the character has the required number of cards, it will be reflected in the Arsenal section. All you need to do then is pay a certain amount of donuts and you’re good to go! Your character is stronger than ever!

The character’s leveling up has nothing to do with their real combat experience. You can easily level up a new kid without ever going into the battle. All you need is Leveling Up Cards & Donuts!

## Leveling Up Cards

* You can find Leveling Up Cards in the Donut Pass backpacks.
* Each character has its own cards.
* To track card collection just check out the character's profile.

# Ranking

* Your ranking goes up as your reputation does. That can be earned only via battles.
* Ranking reflects experience, mastery and endurance of a particular character.
