Tony McZoom stands out in MegaBonk as a high-speed, projectile-focused character who excels at aggressive playstyles. While unlocking him requires effort, mastering his hoverboard-driven combat makes him a dominant force.
Unlocking Tony McZoom
Gaining access to Tony McZoom involves two steps:
- Complete two challenges of your choice after finishing a Tier 1 map with any character (challenges can be enabled one per run).
- Unlock the Wireless Dagger by reaching level 15 with the Lightning Staff in a single run. Its scaling damage makes this achievable if you survive the mid-game.
Optimal Build Strategy
Tony’s playstyle hinges on maximizing his mobility and offense while compensating for low defense:
Weapon Choices
- Essential: Wireless Dagger, Lightning Staff, Aura, Aegis
- Alternatives: Firestaff, Revolver
The Wireless Dagger is central to his kit, dealing high projectile damage and crowd control. Lightning Staff and Aura provide area coverage, while Aegis adds late-game durability.
Tome Priorities
- Focus on: Projectile Speed, Quantity, Size, Damage
- Secondary Stats: Luck, Cooldown, Agility
Projectile enhancements amplify Tony’s core weapons, overwhelming enemies before they close in. Cooldown and Agility improve ability uptime and evasion.
Item Recommendations
- Top Picks: Forbidden Juice, Gym Sauce, Turbo Socks, Turbo Skates
- Situational: Clover, Lightning Orb, Moldy Cheese
Turbo Socks/Skates synergize with his speed-based damage scaling. Forbidden Juice boosts critical hits, and Gym Sauce enhances overall damage output.
Effective Playstyle
- Stay mobile: Use Tony’s hoverboard to dodge while spamming projectiles.
- Aim precisely: Wireless Dagger requires accurate cursor placement.
- Manage crowds: Rely on Aura or Lightning Staff for grouped enemies.
- Prioritize sustain: Grab defensive tomes or items like Aegis during high-difficulty stages.
Though challenging for newcomers, Tony’s speed and damage potential make him a top-tier option for advanced players.
