Megabonk Character Tier List โ FAQ
Common questions about Megabonk character rankings and tier list updates
What is the best character in Megabonk?
Dicehead remains a strong scaling pick: Gamba applies a random eligible stat reward on every level gained at a 75% multiplier with a 6% minimum. His Dice weapon separately gains Crit Chance from rolling 6s. CL4NK and Robinette offer more predictable scaling.
Which Megabonk characters are S-tier?
The S-tier characters are Dicehead, CL4NK, Robinette, and Megachad. These four characters have exponential scaling mechanics that dominate late-game content. Dicehead offers random stat scaling, CL4NK provides reliable crit chance growth, Robinette excels with gold-based damage, and Megachad delivers near-invincibility for AFK runs.
Which Megabonk character should beginners pick?
Sir Oofie and Megachad are the best beginner choices. Sir Oofie gains +1% armor per level, making him extremely forgiving for new players learning game mechanics. Megachad blocks damage with his Flexing passive and becomes nearly unkillable by late game, making him perfect for first-time players or AFK runs.
How often is this Megabonk tier list updated?
This tier list is updated whenever major balance patches are released. We cross-reference rankings with current leaderboard data, community consensus tier lists from multiple sources, and expert gameplay guides to ensure accuracy. The current version reflects game version 1.0.64.
What makes a character S-tier in Megabonk?
S-tier characters have exponential scaling mechanics that break game balance in late runs. Key factors include: guaranteed stat growth per level (like CL4NK's +1% crit chance), synergy with meta items, strong starting weapons, and the ability to clear high-difficulty content consistently. Characters need both strong early game survival and late-game scaling to reach S-tier.
Are there any Megabonk characters that are currently broken or bugged?
No. Spaceman's passive works correctly and grants +1.5% XP per level. V1.0.64 also added +5% flat XP Gain, and he no longer takes fall damage.
Which character has the highest DPS in Megabonk?
Robinette has the highest raw DPS potential in long runs because damage scales with carried gold. With proper gold farming and the Stonks passive (+1% gold per level), Robinette's damage grows exponentially. Dicehead and CL4NK compete for second place with their crit-focused builds once they reach critical mass around level 50.
What is the tier list methodology for Megabonk characters?
This editorial ranking weighs scaling, the starting kit, survivability, mode versatility and version-tagged high-score evidence. Leaderboard representation supports the review, but it is not treated as a win rate or an automatic tier assignment.
