This was after Arc System Works released the trailer for the Strive's antagonist, which also show some of his moveset.
This was later further elaborated in a Character Guide video for him that was released by the developers through their YouTube channel.
In the said video, Happy Chaos fights his enemies with a gun in his hand, which he can fire after entering his At the Ready stance. While doing the said stance, he can no longer block any incoming attacks, but he can move around the stage freely.
Steady Aim, which is another one of his stances, can unlock his extra powerful shots, which can be denoted by its orange targeting reticle. During this stance, however, he cannot be moved or block any attacks until he drops it.
These stances will require him to use his Happy's Concentration meter, as well as a bullet meter, which can be depleted as he fires his shots. Once the said meter was completely depleted, it will force him to reload him gun manually.
He can also reload his gun automatically by using his Deus Ex Machina Overdrive, which can also track down his enemies upon start up in order to hit them no matter where they are in the screen.
His Super Focus Overdrive, on the other hand, will replenish his Happy's Concentration meter, and will make its gauge drain more slowly while doing his stances for a period of time.
Finally, he can spawn decoys called Scapegoats, which can be used in create some separation between him and the opponent in order to reload or recharge his Happy's Concentration meter. However, this will consume a portion of its Health.
Happy Chaos will be playable after the Patch 1.11 Update rolls out this November 30th as part of the aforementioned Season Pass 1.
He can also be purchased individually for the game's Steam version also on November 30th, and in PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions on December 3rd.
