MegaBonk Anvil Guide
The Anvil in MegaBonk is one of the most powerful items you can find. While many items add flat bonuses, the Anvil improves your weapon scaling directly. Knowing when to grab it and how to use it can turn a decent run into a broken one.
What the Anvil Does
The Anvil allows weapon upgrades to gain +1 extra stat each time you upgrade. Normally you’re limited to a set number of stat rolls, but the Anvil pushes every weapon upgrade further. This makes weapons stronger across the board without needing specific synergies.
Why the Anvil Is Strong
The longer your run goes, the more upgrades you’ll stack. Each upgrade benefits from the Anvil, which means its value keeps compounding. Early game, it’s only a small bump, but in late stages, it can push a weapon into absurd territory.
The Anvil also plays well with almost every build. Damage-focused weapons get more raw power, and utility weapons pick up extra stat coverage that makes them feel complete.
Best Strategies with the Anvil
Prioritize upgrades. The Anvil rewards you most when you spend resources upgrading weapons instead of spreading them thin.
Stack with scaling items. Beefy Ring, Gym Sauce, and Boss Buster multiply well when your weapons already hit harder.
Survive to thrive. Defensive tools like Campfire or Demonic Blade buy you time to take full advantage of the Anvil’s scaling.
Final Blurb
The Anvil is a scaling monster in MegaBonk. Alone, it’s a strong pickup, but combined with consistent upgrades and other damage boosters, it can carry you through the toughest stages. If you see an Anvil early, grab it and commit to powering up your weapons. The payoff is always worth it.
FAQ
Is the Anvil worth taking every run?
Yes. Even in short runs, the bonus stats are always useful, and in longer ones it becomes game-breaking.
What does the Anvil work best with?
It works with any weapon, but weapons you plan to upgrade multiple times get the biggest benefit.
Does the Anvil stack if you get more than one?
Yes. Multiple Anvils stack, letting each upgrade roll more extra stats. The more you find, the more ridiculous your upgrades become.
