The best Megabonk character tier list

Megabonk offers different characters to use in the game, and not all of them are built the same.

Your choices will be minimal when you’re just starting. You can unlock more characters by completing specific in-game conditions. Some of them are naturally stronger than the remaining choices, and this tier list will help you to settle on the best options.

Complete Megabonk character tier list

To classify the characters, I have used three different tiers.

• S-tier represents the best set of characters, who are extremely strong in the meta.
• A-tier represents strong characters who can do well in the hands of players who understand their kits.
• B-tier represents average characters who are helpful in niche situations.
• C-tier represents the weakest characters in the current meta.

S-tier

• Calcium: One of the most complex characters to master, Calcium can hit multiple enemies with the same shot. For building, it’s best to go full damage to make his Bones more powerful. His passive also automatically increases his speed over time. Alternatively, you can also power up his speed slightly.
• CL4NK: The best character in the game, and he can dish out massive damage quickly. It’s best to go with a hybrid of crit and damage as a build.
• Megachad: Arguably the tankiest character in the game, Megachad is perfect for completing the AFK challenge. You can improve his shield and damage for better results.
• Robinette: Pure DPS by abilities, you’ll do well to use a tome that improves her Gold income per level, as that will also increase her damage. You should also buff her crit.
• Dicehead: Dicehead is one of the most broken characters in the current meta, and it’s easy to build him up. Just go full crit and damage, and that will be enough.

A-Tier

• Sir Oofie: While Sir Oofie is slow, he is beginner-friendly and a good starter pick for all. You should aim to improve his attack speed to make him last longer.
• Ninja: While speed is no problem for Ninja, I will put a shield on him personally. Alternatively, you can go full damage and crit build if you want to one-shot enemies.
• Bush: Bush is a typical sniper who excels at precise shots. You should aim well and buff his damage and critical chance with the correct tomes.
• Ogre: Ogre is an all-rounder who doesn’t specialize in anything specific. I feel it’s just best to go with a complete damage build for him, as that will buff up all his all-around skills.

B-tier

There is not much to say about B- and C-tier characters. You can go with them, but the names on the tiers above are better across all situations.

• Athena: Athena is a great tank, but her playstyle is slightly clunky. You’ll consistently have to be in the face of your enemies, which can sometimes be a problem.
• Noelle: Noelle might be an amazing mage, but her signature weapon (Frostwalker) requires you to get close to enemies. Unlocking her also requires you to complete some complex tasks.
• Tony McZoom: McZoom has good speed and movement, but feels clunky. Wireless Dagger is a hard weapon to master, and there are better ranged characters (like CL4NK, for example).
• Amog: If you love to do tonnes of poison damage, go for Amog. His Poison Flask weapon might not have range, but it stacks heaps of poison. However, he is a character who does damage over time (rather than being direct), and this playstyle can be slightly tricky to master.
• Birdo: Birdo is fun, and he can float in the air. However, the movement mechanics have always confused me, putting him at the low tier.
• Vlad: Vlad is definitely stronger on paper than he is in reality. His blood magic abilities are fun, though, and try him out if you don’t care about the meta.
• Fox: As a starter character, Fox is easy to master. However, his kit is limited, and ranged characters have better alternatives.
• Monke: The only reason Monke is this low is the high skill ceiling. Monke offers the best vertical mobility of all characters, and he can reach positions on the map where enemies can’t hurt you. However, he is an extremely tough character to master.

C-tier

• Sir Chadwell: Sir Chadwell feels inferior to Sir Oofie in every aspect, and his unlock condition isn’t the easiest.
• Spaceman: If you’re playing in the Forest, Spaceman’s Moon Gravity allows you to escape enemies quite easily. However, the effectiveness of it goes down against harder enemies.
• Bandit: Bandit is just a character that does alright, but doesn’t necessarily shine in one department.

To use more characters (apart from Sir Oofie), you’ll need to unlock them.
