Top Tomes in Megabonk: Completing and Solving Secrets

Select Language:

Megabonk can be chaotic and oddly satisfying. The tomes you pick up are small power-ups that can help or hinder your progress. Some turn you into a destructive force, while others are more like polite suggestions rather than actual advantages.

If you’re aiming to push as far as possible without crashing into a swarm of enemies, choosing the right tomes can prevent mistakes. This guide breaks down each tome, ranking them from must-have to meh, so you can focus on defeating enemies instead of doubting your upgrades.

How Our Tome Tiers Work

Here’s how we categorize the tomes:

S Tier: Must-haves. Usually powerful and helpful in almost every situation.
A Tier: Excellent but situational; sometimes better options exist.
B Tier: Decent but require specific setups to be effective.
C Tier: Weak or unreliable; generally not worth prioritizing.

S Tier Tomes

These tomes are universally strong and provide significant boosts in nearly every run.

Tome	Effect	Why It’s Here
Damage	Boosts your base attack damage	Always useful; works well into late-game.
Cooldown	Improves attack speed and reduces cooldowns	Great DPS boost; stacks nicely with other tomes.
Size	Enlarges all attack sizes	Better mob control, safer gameplay, more damage.
XP	Grants more experience points	Faster leveling gives you a snowball advantage.
Precision	Raises critical hit chance and unlocks overcrit	Critical hits dominate with this; top-tier scaling.

A Tier Tomes

Solid options that add consistency or resource advantages but are a bit situational.

Tome	Effect	Why It’s Here
Regen	Increases health regeneration rate	Keeps you alive through minor damage.
Shield	Absorbs damage and regenerates if unhit	Adds extra survivability; acts as a safety net.
Agility	Boosts movement speed	Improves dodging, kiting, and item pickup efficiency.
Evasion	Raises chance to dodge	Powerful when paired with other defensive tomes; RNG-based.
Quantity	Provides more items/resources	Mid-to-late game snowball effect; slower early payoff.
Golden	Increase gold earned	Great for long-term resource farming.

B Tier Tomes

Decent choices that depend heavily on your setup.

Tome	Effect	Why It’s Here
HP	Boosts maximum health	Good buffer, but less effective without regen/shield.
Armor	Adds armor to reduce damage	Helps reduce chip damage, especially with sustain builds.
Knockback	Increases pushback distance	Fun for crowd control, less useful against bosses.
Bloody	Gradually heals you when you deal damage	Raises survivability through lifesteal.
Projectile Speed	Faster projectiles	Quality of life, especially for ranged builds.
Duration	Extends attack and projectile durations	Useful, but better options exist.
Luck	Increases your luck stat	Can be powerful but is unreliable and RNG-dependent.

C Tier Tomes

Currently weak with limited benefits.

Tome	Effect	Why It’s Here
Silver	Gains more silver	No in-run power boost; less useful.
Attraction	Brings XP toward you	Quality of life at best; not run-changing.
Thorns	Deals damage to attacking enemies	Niche effect; better options available.
