The sheer number of Characters, Weapons, Items, and Tomes in Megabonk allows you to create all sorts of character builds. But if you’ve done your fair share of experimenting and still can’t make it past the first swarm, try some of our Megabonk builds. These will not only get you past the swarms but also help you climb up the leaderboard. So, let’s get straight to it!

Best Builds for Every Character in Megabonk
Every character in Megabonk has one starter weapon and one passive skill. To create the best build, focus on that character’s starter weapon and skill, and choose upgrades that synergize with them the best. That said, some characters do shine with unorthodox builds, and you’ll see exactly which ones as you read on.
Weapons and Tomes are written in a descending order. So, if you haven’t unlocked more slots, prioritize the top spots. If you're yet to unlock a suggested weapon, try the bottom ones.
This guide is a work-in-progress. As we experiment more and figure out what works and fails for different characters, this list will be updated accordingly. If you don't find the character build you're after, make sure to check back later.
| Character | Build | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Fox Starter Weapon: Firestaff Passive: RNG Blessing - Gain 1% Luck per level. | Weapon 2: Aura Weapon 3: Bananarang Weapon 4: Dragon’s Breath Tome 1: Quantity Tome Tome 2: Damage Tome Tome 3: Agility Tome Tome 4: Luck Tome Items: Clover, Moldy Cheese, Slippery Ring, Credit Card (Green). | - Firestaff, Aura, and Bow/Bananarang synergize well with Quantity and Damage Tome, massively scaling Mr Fox’s damage output. - Clover and Credit Card (Green), along with Mr Fox’s RNG Blessing, will max out your luck quickly, so you get better items from chests, shrines, and vendors. - Precision Tome and Projectile Speed Tomes are also good choices if Quantity and Damage are not showing up. - Agility Tome is a must for late to mid-game. It improves the movement speed, helping you manually evade enemy attacks. |
| Sir Oofie Starter Weapon: Sword Passive: Reinforced - Gain 1% Armor per level. | Weapon 2: Lightning Staff/Firestaff Weapon 3: Aura Weapon 4: Bone Tome 1: Attack Speed Tome Tome 2: Agility Tome Tome 3: Quantity Tome Tome 4: HP Tome/Armor Tome Items: Gym Sauce, Oats, Beefy Ring, Spiky Shield | - This build goes all in on the tankiness of Sir Oofie while boosting his attack and improving movement for early-run farming. - Lightning or Firestaff will add ranged attacks to take care of elites and mini-bosses.- Aura and Sword (sped up with the Attack Speed Tome) will make light work of hordes and bosses. - HP Tome scales the armor, making you almost invincible against normal enemies. - For the final stretch, give another boost to your armor with the HP Tome or the Armor Tome and keep upgrading the Agility Tome. |
| Calcium Starter Weapon: Bone Passive: Speed Demon - Speed builds up over time, but is halved when you take damage. Also, gain damage based on speed. | Weapon 2: Revolver Weapon 3: Flamewalker Weapon 4: Bow Tome 1: Quantity Tome Tome 2: Attack Speed Tome Tome 3: Movement Speed Tome Tome 4: Damage Tome Items: Turbo Socks, Turbo Skates, Slippery Ring, Phantom Shroud | - Calcium’s damage scales with his movement speed, so his best build is based on mobility and keeping his distance from enemies. - Bone and Revolver are both potent, ranged weapons that can take care of normal enemies, Elites, and Bosses from a distance, minimizing damage to Calcium. - Start focusing on Quantity and Attack Speed Tomes early on to scale damage faster.- Items like Turbo Socks and Skates will synergize with Calcium’s passive, increasing movement speed and damage output as well. - Flamewalker adds a nice passive attack that scales with the constant movement. |
| Megachad Starter Weapon: Aura Passive: Flex - Stops damage and stuns enemies. Decreases cooldown by 0.2 per level. | Weapon 2: Aegis Weapon 3: Axe Weapon 4: [TBA] Tome 1: Size Tome/Damage Tome Tome 2: Shield Tome Tome 3: HP Tome Tome 4: Regen Tome Items: Idle Juice, Moldy Cheese, Mirror, Overpowered Lamp, Big Bonk, Giant Fork | - This build improves Megachad’s survivability, helping you turn every run into a god run. However, you will have to rely on Charge Shrines and Treasure Chests to scale damage if you haven’t unlocked all Tome slots.- You need to continuously scale Aura and get the Damage Tome to further boost damage because the base damage will only get you so far.- Idle Juice is made for Megachad. That said, any item that can boost damage, Crit, and armor/shield will work well. |
| Ogre Starter Weapon: Axe Passive: Warrior - Gain 1% damage per level. | Weapon 2: Aura Weapon 3: Bone/Bananrang Weapon 4: Katana Tome 1: Quantity Tome/Duration Tome Tome 2: Cooldown Tome Tome 3: Size Tome Tome 4: Agility Tome Items: Gym Sauce, Moldy Cheese, Time Bracelet, Turbo Skates, Turbo Socks | - One of the slowest characters in the game, especially early on. Even slower than Sir Oofie. Axes won’t deal much damage due to low projectile count, so grab Aura as soon as possible to start earning some XP and Gold. - A ranged weapon that scales with Ogre’s passive will be a game-changer. - Quantity and Cooldown Tomes will massively improve the damage output of Axe and any secondary weapons that you choose. - Ogre’s slow speed will eventually get you in trouble, so get that Agility Tome in the final slot. - The listed items will cover two of his major weaknesses, movement and low early-game damage. |
| CL4NK Starter Weapon: Revolver Passive: Crit Happens - Gain 1% Crit Chance per level. | Weapon 2: Bone Weapon 3: Bananrange Weapon 4: Aura Tome 1: Precision Tome Tome 2: Damage Tome Tome 3: Quantity Tome Tome 4: Cooldown Tome Items: Dice, Gym Sauce, Turbo Socks, Demonic Blade, Forbidden Juice, Giant Fork, Joe’s Dagger, Oats | - CL4NK is one of the best ranged characters in Megabonk, but is clunky and has the lowest HP. But a Crit-based build covers up almost all the cracks. - Using ranged weapons makes it easier to scale damage by only leveling up the weapons and the Damage Tome. - Precision Tome, along with Dice, Gym Sauce, and Demonic Blade, will boost damage and Crit damage until you achieve Megacrit. - Once this build is in full flow, very few enemies will break through the projectiles. Those who do will be taken care of by Aura. |
