Unlocking the Fox character in Megabonk is an exciting moment that significantly boosts your gameplay. With a starting Luck boost of 15%, Fox allows you to secure premium upgrades early, enhancing your power progression. The ideal Fox builds skillfully utilize this Luck to deal ranged damage and fend off nearby enemies effectively.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through the ultimate Fox build in Megabonk, along with alternative options in case your preferred Tomes and Weapons aren’t available.
Best Tomes, Weapons, and Items for Fox
| Type | Best Choices | Good Choices |
|---|---|---|
| Weapons | Fire Staff (Starter), Aura, Lightning Staff, Aegis | Sword, Bow, Bananarang |
| Tomes | Luck Tome, Agility Tome, XP Tome, Cursed Tome | Damage Tome, Cooldown Tome, Quantity Tome |
| Items | Clover, Credit Card (Green), Coward’s Cloak, Electric Plug, Ice Cube | Slippery Ring, Gym Sauce |
For Fox, the top weapon choices include Aura, Bananarang, and Aegis. Aura and Aegis excel at preventing monsters from closing in on Fox. Aura inflicts substantial area damage as you enhance it, while Aegis offers protective shielding. Pairing Lightning Staff with Fire Staff can add exciting projectile bounces that Fox’s starter weapon doesn’t provide.
Although the Sword isn’t as effective as Aura or Aegis, it can still keep adversaries at bay when better options are unavailable. The Bow and Bananarang serve as solid ranged damage alternatives to Lightning Staff.
The optimal tomes for Fox are Luck, XP, Cursed, and Agility Tomes. Luck is essential for reaching the cap quickly and obtaining superior upgrades. The XP Tome is necessary for surviving Tier 2 and Tier 3 runs, as it helps counteract enemy scaling. The Cursed Tome, while boosting difficulty, allows for faster leveling due to increased mob spawns. While Agility Tome is beneficial for survivability, you can swap it out for Damage or Cooldown if needed. If choosing the Quantity Tome, consider replacing Aura with another ranged weapon like the Bow or Revolver.
Concerned about ramped-up difficulty from the Cursed Tome? Prioritize upgrading your weapons and tomes first. Just ensure to periodically upgrade the Cursed Tome to keep pace with Tier 2 and 3 mobs.
For items, the best choices for Fox include Clover and Credit Card (Green) to quickly increase your Luck. After maxing out Luck, switch focus to items that enhance movement speed like Coward’s Cloak or those that debuff enemies, such as the Electric Plug’s knockback or Ice Cube’s freezing effect. The Slippery Ring offers extra evasion, while Gym Sauce provides a boost in damage.
When it comes to Attack Speed, Size, and Movement Speed, concentrate on these in Shrines, as they shouldn’t take up any Tome slots.
