Megabonk FAQ
Why are some characters considered S-tier in Megabonk?
S-tier characters like Dicehead and CL4NK dominate because they scale fast, synergize with most tomes, and remain strong across both early and late game without heavy RNG reliance.
Which character should new players start with?
Sir Oofie is the safest pick for beginners thanks to his high defense and forgiving passive. He lets you focus on learning enemy patterns instead of dodging perfectly.
Why do some A-tier characters feel stronger than S-tier ones?
A-tier characters such as Calcium or Tony McZoom can outperform S-tier picks in skilled hands. Their potential is high, but they rely on precise movement or item luck.
Which character has the best late-game scaling?
Robinette and CL4NK both excel in the late game. Robinette’s gold scaling keeps compounding, while CL4NK’s crit builds snowball once key tomes are unlocked.
Who is the hardest character to master?
Calcium is widely considered the hardest — his Speed Demon passive resets on taking damage, so staying hitless is key to maintaining insane DPS.
Are weaker-tier characters worth playing?
Yes. C-tier heroes like Fox and Monke are great for learning specific mechanics such as mobility or spacing. They can still clear late waves if played strategically.
How often does the character meta change?
The meta usually shifts after major patches or new tome additions. For example, the ‘Crit Happens’ tome pushed CL4NK and Dicehead into S-tier last update.
