Megabonk is a huge hit among fans of hardcore roguelites, and players looking for particular builds should know that there are 29 different weapons in this game. Some weapons are ideal for melee builds, while others are better for ranged combat.
Meanwhile, there are weapons specifically designed to fight against swarms, and combining them in a balanced way will be the key to climbing the tiers and the rankings. The following guide will cover some of the most broken weapon combos to slay hundreds of enemies and live to tell the tale.
Best Melee Damage Weapon Combos in Megabonk
Characters like Megachad, Sir Oofie, Bandit, Ninja, or Sir Chadwell will always start with melee weapons and have passive abilities that benefit from building this type of killing tools. So, the best approach for players who like to play melee characters is to pick some of these builds to maximize damage.
- Best Boss Damage Build: Sword + Hero’s Sword + Corrupted Sword/ Aegis- This build combines three strong weapons for melee attacks, plus the Aegis effect to mitigate and add knockback. Players will want to mix stat boosts like Attack Speed, Lifesteal, and Damage (from Tomes, Items, and Shrines) with Items that increase health, like Chunkplate and Oats, to make it work.
- Balanced Build: Hero’s Sword + Axe + Wireless Dagger/ Katana – This build is ideal for swift takedowns in a moderate radius. Enemies approaching will receive considerable damage, and players will be able to move leisurely as they kill. Works best with Triggering Effects like Spicy Meatballs, and Slurpy Gloves. Add Attack Speed Tomes and Items for a brutal effect.
- Critical Build: Katana + Dexecutioner + Wireless Dagger or Hero’s Sword – This build works better with characters like Ninja, Tony McZoom, or Bandit. Maximize Critical Chance and Critical Hit Damage to cause tons of hurt.
Best Anti-Swarm Weapon Combos in Megabonk
Combining melee, AoE, and Ranged weapons, players can get decent coverage and protection against swarms. The longer players take to level up and get bonuses and items, the harder it will become to snowball. Try these builds to effectively deal with large groups of enemies.
- Best Swarm Clear Build: Revolver + Bow + Aura or Lightning Staff – Offers tons of range and area clear, combined with decent damage, Projectile+, and Attack speed, it can become a swarm destroyer and escalates really well in higher tiers.
- Balanced Build: Firestaff + Sword + Bow or Revolver – Easy to pair with random bonuses (Shrines, Items, etc.) and offers decent cover against swarms. Takes longer to snowball, and causes less damage to bosses, so prioritize adding Damage To Elites and Bosses whenever there’s a chance.
- Control Build: Bow + Dragon’s Breath + Black Hole, Aegis, or Tornado – Adds a little bit of AoE damage. Ideal for combining with On-Hit Effect items like Ice Cube, Spicy Meatballs, or Moldy Cheese.
Best Range Weapon Combos in Megabonk
Ranged weapons are ideal for characters like Robinette, CL4NK, or Bush. But players can pick them up no matter who they choose to play with, since all available characters in Megabonk can use any weapon.
- Best Speed Clear Build: Revolver + Bow + Fire Staff or Hero Sword – Offers a lot of coverage, great snowballing in later levels, and decent Knockback to deal with swarms.
- Best Balanced Build: Lightning Staff + Shotgun + Slutty Rocket or Revolver – This build covers most angles and will scale nicely with Attack Speed and Projectile Number.
- Best Effect Combo Build: Poison Flask + Frostwalker + Black Hole or Aura – These weapons combined are currently the most broken build for damage scaling. Combined with Moldy Cheese, Moldy Gloves, and Damage Scaling, it slays entire swarms and bosses in a matter of seconds.
