In **MegaBonk**, mastering the **Duration stat** is crucial for optimizing builds. Many weapons scale with Duration, transforming them from situational tools into screen-clearing powerhouses. Here’s a breakdown of how Duration works and which strategies maximize its potential.
Duration Weapons Explained
- Duration weapons have effects tied to their **active uptime**, such as lingering projectiles or area-of-effect fields.
- Examples include **Axe**, **Aura**, and **Tornado**—each benefits from increased Duration to deal sustained damage.
- Unlike raw damage boosts, Duration extends how long these weapons persist, letting them hit enemies repeatedly.
Top Duration-Scaling Weapons
- Axe: Spins longer, hitting more enemies with overlapping swings.
- Aura: Extends the duration of its damaging pulses.
- Tornado: A late-game monster when Duration keeps its gusts active.
- Space Noodle & Mines: Lingering attacks and delayed explosions benefit from extra uptime.
Optimal Tomes and Items
- Duration Tome: Essential for maximizing weapon uptime.
- Quantity + Size Tomes: Expand coverage while effects last longer.
- Utility Items: Overpowered Lamp synergizes with frequent procs; Medkit or Regen Tome enhances survivability during prolonged fights.
Build Strategies
- Focus on **1-2 core Duration weapons early** (e.g., Axe + Aura).
- Avoid single-hit weapons—Duration scales poorly with them.
- Combine with defensive tools like **Armor** or **Shield Tome** to survive while your effects whittle down enemies.
