Amog - The Plague Spreader

Unlock: Poison 50,000 enemies with Moldy Cheese
Starting Weapon: Poison Flask
Character Tier: C-Tier (but A-Tier with poison build)

โ˜ ๏ธ Passive: Plague

Poisoned enemies explode upon death, spreading poison to nearby enemies. This creates devastating chain reactions that wipe out entire hordes!

Unlike other builds that rely on direct damage, Amog excels at turning every kill into an area-of-effect poison bomb. Combined with lifesteal items, you heal while poison ticks spread across the screen.

โ˜ ๏ธ How Poison Works in Megabonk

๐Ÿ’€
DoT Damage
Poison applies damage over time. Enemies take continuous damage even after you've moved away - perfect for kiting.
๐Ÿ“Š
Stacking
Multiple poison applications stack! Each hit adds another layer of DoT, exponentially increasing total damage output.
โฐ
Duration
Poison lasts 5-8 seconds depending on items. Duration Tome extends this significantly for more total damage.
๐Ÿ’ฅ
Chain Reactions
Amog's passive makes poisoned enemies explode on death. One kill can poison an entire screen of enemies instantly.

Priority #1

Level faster for stat scaling. Standard for all meta builds. More levels = stronger poison damage and better healing from lifesteal.

๐Ÿ“•

High Value

More enemies = more poison targets = more healing opportunities. Your sustain handles the increased difficulty easily in mid-late game.

๐Ÿ’š
Regen Tome
Extra Safety

Passive HP regeneration combines with lifesteal for massive sustain. Heals you even when kiting without attacking.

๐ŸŽฎ Gameplay Strategy

Phase 1: Early Game (0-10 minutes)

Poison Foundation

Priority Goals:

  • Unlock Amog first (poison 50,000 enemies with Moldy Cheese)
  • Get XP Tome for faster progression
  • Pick up Bloody Tome ASAP for lifesteal
  • Your sustain is weak early - play safe and kite
  • Focus on applying poison to multiple enemies
๐Ÿ’ก Hit enemies and kite away - let poison DoT do the work
๐Ÿ’ก Watch for chain reactions when poisoned enemies die
Phase 2: Mid Game (10-20 minutes)

Sustain Activation

Key Actions:

  • Core build: Poison Flask + Bloody Tome acquired
  • Add Duration Tome to extend poison duration
  • Get Regen Tome for passive healing
  • Your healing is now significant - play more aggressively
  • Can safely take Cursed Tome at this point
๐Ÿ’ก Notice your health bar constantly regenerating
๐Ÿ’ก Poison chain reactions now clear entire screens
Phase 3: Late Game (20+ minutes)

Immortal Plague Doctor

Optimization:

  • Full build: Poison Flask + Bloody Tome + Duration Tome + Regen Tome
  • Add Cursed Tome for maximum spawns
  • You're healing faster than enemies can damage you
  • Poison explosions chain across the entire map
  • Can tank boss attacks and outheal the damage
๐Ÿ’ก You're nearly unkillable - play ultra-aggressively
๐Ÿ’ก Let plague explosions do most of the work automatically

๐Ÿ’ก Advanced Tips

๐ŸŽฏ
Poison Management

Always maintain poison on as many enemies as possible. The plague passive creates chain reactions - one kill can poison dozens more enemies.

๐Ÿ’š
Healing Optimization

Lifesteal works on poison damage ticks! Stack as much poison as possible for constant passive healing even while kiting.

โšก
Boss Strategy

Stack poison on bosses immediately, then focus on adds. The boss takes continuous DoT while you heal from killing adds and triggering explosions.

โœ… Pros & Cons

โœ“ Strengths

โœ“ Infinite Sustain: Lifesteal from constant poison ticks
โœ“ Chain Reactions: Plague passive spreads poison automatically
โœ“ Safe Playstyle: Apply poison and kite while DoT kills
โœ“ Scales Exponentially: More enemies = more explosions
โœ“ Boss Melter: Poison stacks shred high-HP targets
โœ“ Forgiving: Healing compensates for positioning mistakes

โœ— Weaknesses

โœ— Unlock Requirement: Must poison 50,000 enemies first
โœ— Slow Damage: DoT takes time compared to burst builds
โœ— Item Dependent: Needs Bloody Tome to really shine
โœ— Weak Early: Takes time to ramp up sustain
โœ— One-Shot Vulnerable: Can't outheal instant death early

Embrace the Plague

Become the unkillable plague doctor. Spread poison, trigger explosive chain reactions, and outlast everything Megabonk throws at you with constant lifesteal healing.
