Projectile Quantity has a unique interaction with Aura in MegaBonk that often confuses players. Unlike traditional weapons that gain clear benefits from this stat, Aura’s damage mechanics require a different approach. Here’s how to optimize your build:

Core Mechanics of Projectile Quantity

This stat increases the number of projectiles a weapon fires simultaneously. For instance:

• A bow with +1 Quantity shoots two arrows instead of one.
• It’s a universal multiplier for most projectile-based weapons, boosting damage and crowd control.

Aura’s Unusual Behavior

Unlike traditional projectiles, Aura creates a persistent damage field. Key observations:

• No projectile multiplication: Higher Quantity doesn’t create additional Aura fields.
• Inconsistent effects: Rare bursts may occur with Quantity boosts but aren’t reliable for scaling.

Optimal Aura Scaling

• Attack Speed Tome – Boosts damage ticks per second for sustained DPS.

• Damage Tome – Amplifies base damage output of each tick.

• Size Increases – Expands area of effect to hit more enemies.

• Projectile Quantity – Low priority; minimal impact compared to other stats.

Build Strategy

• Early Game: Prioritize Attack Speed and Damage relics
• Mid-Late Game: Combine Aura with ranged weapons (Bone/Lightning Staff) for coverage
• Quantity: Treat as a secondary stat if other options are unavailable
