The thrilling hybrid of Vampire Survivors and Risk of Rain, known as Megabonk, offers players a vast array of characters and items, each essential for surviving relentless waves of enemies. However, just like its inspirations, once you unlock powerful combinations, gameplay can shift into overdrive quickly.
Unlike Risk of Rain 2, where randomness can derail your strategy from the get-go, Megabonk allows you to easily assemble strong builds. I’ve developed three effective strategies that can carry you through much of the game, assuming it doesn’t crash under the chaos of effects on your screen.
The Best Megabonk Builds
Sword Build
For simplicity yet effectiveness, the Sword build tops the list. It’s straightforward but can decimate zones when executed properly. Obtaining the following items early can set the stage for a successful run:
- Character: Sir Oofie
- First Weapon: Sword
- Second Weapon: Aegis
- Third Weapon: Chunkers
- Fourth Weapon: Any
- First Tome: Size
- Second Tome: Quantity
- Items: Favor Demonic Soul, Power Gloves, and Mirror
This build leans heavily on your Sword, which is why Sir Oofie is the optimal choice. You start with the Sword and can enhance it right away. Focus on increasing your projectiles, knockback, size, and damage. Before long, your sword swings will cover massive areas, allowing you to simply stand still and let the damage flow.
To speed up your progress, look for Idle Juice, which can double your damage when standing still. Additionally, the Shield Tome can supplement your build, enabling you to observe as enemies fall around you while taking minimal damage due to Aegis, Chunkers, and Mirror, making you nearly invincible.
Bullet Hell Build
The Bullet Hell build is all about maximizing projectile quantity and bounces, turning each shot into a lethal weapon against swarms of enemies. With enough damage output, even modest upgrades can create havoc among enemy ranks, although single foes, like bosses, may pose more of a challenge.
- Character: CL4NK
- First Weapon: Revolver
- Second Weapon: Bone
- Third Weapon: Bananarang
- Fourth Weapon: Bow
- First Tome: Quantity
- Second Tome: Projectile Speed
- Items: Battery, Gym Sauce, Demonic Soul, Beer, Backpack, Tactical Glasses, Boss Buster
This build floods the screen with projectiles, quickly eliminating most threats. Prioritize damage, attack speed, and projectile count, especially when facing bosses with hefty health pools. Keep an eye out for increases in crit chance and critical damage to enhance your offensive capabilities.
One Lucky Fox Build
For those who appreciate an element of unpredictability, the One Lucky Fox build is for you. This unconventional strategy taps into Fox’s ability to gain Luck with every level, creating a gameplay experience that varies greatly based on RNG.
Key items include the Clover and the Luck Tome, which can be elusive due to their reliance on drop rates. Initially, focus on leveling up as much as possible, perhaps adding Fox’s starting weapon and the Lightning Staff for solid early-game performance. Increasing crit chance when available can also be beneficial.
Once you’ve gained significant levels, venture into Shrines and Vendors where your heightened Luck will boost the drop rates for powerful items. Expect to discover impressive assets like the Giant Fork, which can create Megacrits, the Overpowered Lamp that doubles on-hit effects, or the Big Bonk, which can grant a x20 attack multiplier.
Fox has the highest odds of acquiring these rare items. With the right combination, especially if you’ve stacked attack speed and projectiles, victory becomes an achievable goal.
