Fox - The Lucky Kitsune

Unlock: Default Character (Available from start)
Default Weapon: Firestaff (Piercing Fireballs)

🍀 Unique Passive: RNG Blessing

📚 Core Strategy: The Holy Trinity

The meta-defining tome combination used by top players

Luck Tome
Luck Tome
Priority #1

Effect: Increases luck progressively with each level
Unlock: Break 20 vases in a single run

The cornerstone of this build. Unlike a flat bonus, Luck Tome's effect compounds as you level it up. Take this IMMEDIATELY when it appears - it's non-negotiable.

🔥 MANDATORY - TAKE FIRST
XP Tome
XP Tome
Priority #2

Effect: +7% XP per level (post-patch 1.0.12)

Level faster = reach max luck from Fox's passive faster. Essential for any competitive build. Part of the universally-recognized "Holy Trinity" meta strategy. See all tomes here.

🔥 CORE - HOLY TRINITY
Cursed Tome
Curse Tome
Priority #3

Effect: Increases enemy spawns (high risk/reward)

More enemies = more XP = faster leveling = quicker luck scaling. Also means more chances for item drops. Completes the Holy Trinity.

🔥 CORE - HOLY TRINITY
💡 Pro Tip: Holy Trinity Timing

Top players recommend securing all three Holy Trinity tomes (Luck, XP, Curse) within the first 5 minutes of your run for optimal compound growth. This creates exponential scaling that dominates mid and late game. Check our tome tier list for more insights.

🎯
Luck Scaling

Luck scales continuously rather than in discrete breakpoints. Higher luck values progressively improve drop quality. Around 100%+ luck, effects become very noticeable. At 200%+ (achievable with Fox at level 100), you're operating at premium RNG levels. Learn more in our tips & tricks guide.

Recent Balance Changes

Patch 1.0.12 nerfed XP Tome from 9% to 7% per level and adjusted Mirror's immortality synergy with Kevin. Patch 1.0.17 buffed Fox's passive from +1% to +2% per level. The Holy Trinity strategy remains the dominant meta despite these adjustments.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What does Luck do in Megabonk?
Luck mainly increases the chance that your level-up choices, chests, shrines, and random drops roll higher rarities (Rare, Epic, Legendary). It doesn't directly raise your damage, but better rewards over an entire run snowball your build very hard. Check our item tier list to see which items benefit most from high luck.
Q2. Does Luck affect crit chance or on-hit proc rates?
No. Current guides and community testing agree that Luck only affects reward quality – things like upgrade rarity and loot from chests or shrines – not crit chance, damage procs, or on-hit effect frequency. Those mechanics are controlled by their own stats such as Crit Chance, Proc Chance, or specific item text.
Q3. How much Luck does Fox gain per level from RNG Blessing now?
As of patch v1.0.17, community databases and recent tier lists list Fox's RNG Blessing as +2% Luck per level with no cap, buffed from the older +1% value that many early guides still mention. That means hitting level 50 already gives roughly +100% Luck just from his passive alone. At max level (100), Fox has +200% luck from his passive.
Q4. What is the "Holy Trinity" of tomes in Megabonk?
When players talk about the "Holy Trinity", they mean XP Tome + Luck Tome + Cursed (Difficulty) Tome. XP Tome speeds up leveling, Luck Tome upgrades your reward quality, and Cursed Tome spawns more, tougher enemies for extra XP and drops – together they create a snowball build that used to dominate long leaderboard runs and is still very strong in the current patches. Check our tome tier list for more details.
Q5. Is this Fox luck build suitable for beginners?
Yes! Fox is a default character (no unlock required), and the Holy Trinity strategy is straightforward: prioritize getting three specific tomes early. The Firestaff starting weapon is reliable throughout the entire run, so you can focus on learning the build mechanics without worrying about complex weapon combos. For more beginner-friendly builds, check our complete build collection.
Q6. Can I combine this luck build with other strategies?
Absolutely! The Holy Trinity forms a solid foundation that works with many secondary strategies. Popular combinations include adding the Mirror for clone doubling, incorporating Lightning Staff for crowd control, or stacking additional survivability items. Check out builds like Kevin Mirror Immortality for alternative synergies.
