Best Megabonk Characters, Ranked (All Characters Tier List)

In total, there are 21 characters in Megabonk, most of which are locked at the start of the game. Each character has a starting weapon and a unique passive ability that grants stat bonuses with every level-up or other benefits. But not all Megabonk characters are made equally. Though the game gets a lot of balance updates, some consistently stand head and shoulders above others.

It’s true that players can complete a run with any character in Megabonk because the game’s randomized nature means they will eventually stumble into a powerful build. But the best characters in Megabonk have a significantly easier time completing Tier 3, reaching the third Stage, and defeating the final boss.

This character tier list ranks all 21 characters based on their scaling potential, starting kit, and other factors that separate the worst from the best characters in Megabonk.

Updated on December 27, 2025, by Ashely Claudino: The Spooky update introduced players to several items as well as a brand-new character with a unique starting weapon. Once players gain access to the Graveyard map in Megabonk, they can start working towards unlocking the Scythe and Roberto. This guide has now been updated, and it features the latest character to be added to Megabonk.

This list is, of course, subjective. Players might not do well with an S-tier character and have a much easier time making it to the Final Swarm or Tier 3 stage boss with another character. This will depend on players’ own playstyle, the items that they pick up along the way, and the shrine perks that they pick. The leaderboards are constantly changing, and this might be due to some new exploit or a recent patch. When that is not the case, there will be a healthy mix of all available characters

S Tier Megabonk Characters

Calcium, Bandit, Dicehead, & Robinette

The best Megabonk characters (in no particular order) are Calcium, Bandit, Dicehead, and Robinette. These four best characters in Megabonk rank so highly on this Megabonk characters tier list for the same reason: their scaling potential.

• Calcium’s passive increases his damage based on current movement speed, which can be pushed to ridiculous heights by the third stage.
• Dicehead’s passive was absolutely busted in the launch version of the game, but it remains an extremely strong ability if players can get a lot of XP gain early.
• Bandit’s Dexecutioner proc occurs more often as they increase Attack Speed (and get some Joe’s Dagger items).
• Robinette’s Bow is great for clearing waves, but her passive becomes more and more powerful as the player’s run progresses. By the third stage, with tens of thousands of Gold on hand, she can pump out game-breaking damage numbers.

A Tier Megabonk Characters

CL4NK, Megachad, Monke, Sir Oofie

The four A Tier characters are far from the worst characters in Megabonk, but they don’t quite have the starting bias and scaling potential of the best classes. If you play into each of these characters’ strengths, you’ll find it easy to reach Stage 3, but it’s not quite a cakewalk like it is with the S Tier characters.

B Tier Megabonk Characters

Athena, Bush, Tony McZoom, Vlad

After the best characters in Megabonk come four characters who can become broken, but just aren’t on the power level of S and A Tier characters. Players shouldn’t find it too hard to get to Stage 3 with these B Tier Megabonk characters, but they won’t have as easy a run as they might with higher-tier characters.

Still, some of these characters are very popular amongst the Megabonk fanbase – Vlad and Athena, especially, can turn into powerhouses and easily survive to the final boss fight. It just takes a bit more effort, and more niche builds/better luck, to get them to that point compared to the best Megabonk characters.

C Tier Megabonk Characters

Amog, Birdo, Fox, Ninja, Noelle, Ogre, Sir Chadwell, Spaceman, Roberto

Generally speaking, there aren’t any bad characters in Megabonk, but some characters are just harder to play, don’t have a good starting weapon or a useful passive ability, or can be difficult to min-max unless you get very specific items during your run.

Spaceman, for example, starts off with the Black Hole item, which has its uses, but if he can’t find other powerful items, weapons, and upgrades, he won’t be able to do much except reposition enemies.

Birdo’s Tornado starting weapon is considered one of the worst in the game, but his passive ability synergizes extremely well with the Scarf item, which increases damage while airborne.

Roberto’s starting weapon, the Scythe, is a good addition to Megabonk because it slashes enemies in every direction. His floating ability is also good because it allows players to jump over some enemies and avoid taking hits in the early game. Additionally, the free chests that he receives periodically are awesome. However, his other stats leave a bit to be desired, and he isn’t particularly strong at anything.

Players shouldn’t necessarily avoid playing as these characters in Megabonk – many are useful for certain challenges or have Unlocks associated with them. But if they want to play an easy character who can make it to the final boss without too much effort, look elsewhere.
