MegaBonk Build Guide
Building your character to make strong runs in MegaBonk really comes down to stacking the right tomes, picking high-value weapons, and chasing synergies that scale into boss fights and swarms. With so many upgrades offered randomly, it’s best to focus on what gives the most consistent power.
Best Tomes to Upgrade
Attack Speed Tome
The most reliable pick early on. Faster attacks help clear hordes and bosses alike, and scale with nearly every weapon.
Luck Tome
Improves the quality of your later level-up choices. The earlier you grab it, the better your run scales.
XP Tome
Faster leveling means more upgrades before swarms. Breaking pots also helps unlock it, so always keep an eye out.
Damage Tome
Straightforward raw power. Always worth upgrading when it shows up.
Movement Speed
Essential for survival. It also synergizes with items like Turbo Socks, which increase attack speed the faster you move.
Strong Weapons
Revolver
One of the best all-around picks. High base crit damage and scales well with projectile upgrades.
Aura
A top-tier choice for area coverage. Strong for crowd control.
Sword (Sir Oofie)
Slow at first, but with Attack Speed and Attack Size tomes it becomes very strong. Needs commitment.
Bow (Robinette)
Synergizes well with crit-focused builds. Great when paired with Luck and Crit Damage upgrades.
Banana & Bones
Both grow insane with projectile count and bounces. Ideal for swarm clearing.
Key Items and Synergies
Purple Shoes: Attack faster the more movement speed you have.
Crit Chance + Crit Damage: Always pick both if you’re running Revolver or Bow.
Regen & Lifesteal: Core for surviving Final Swarm and Boss Curse runs.
Magnet: Grab whenever possible for massive XP spikes.
Boss Curse Strategy
Boss Curse shrines add extra bosses with slightly higher HP, but reward additional chests. If you plan on activating them, aim for high DPS builds like Revolver crit, Aura, or Banana spam. Make sure you have sustain (Regen, Lifesteal) and movement options before stacking curses.
Final Blurb
MegaBonk builds thrive on attack speed, damage scaling, and synergy between tomes and items. Revolver and Aura are the most reliable weapon picks, while crit or projectile builds scale best into late-game swarms. Always prioritize movement speed and sustain to survive Boss Curse runs and Final Swarms.
