Top Monkey Builds for Megabonk: Stats, Projectiles, DPS Tank, and Tornado

Monke delivers an exhilarating gameplay experience in Megabonk, thanks to his unique arsenal and vertical traversal skills. These traits alone, however, won’t guarantee success. Below, explore three tailored strategies for diverse approaches, catering to newcomers and veterans alike.

Optimal Monke Strategies in Megabonk

Versatility defines Monke, leveraging agility, durability, and weapon scalability. The first setup maximizes innate abilities, while others experiment with unconventional techniques.

Strategy One – Hybrid Durability and Damage

This approach synergizes Monke’s health growth with ranged/melee hybrid offense for crowd control and boss elimination.

Weapons	Tomes	Items
Bananarang Aura Revolver Slutty Rocket	HP Tome Size Tome Quantity Tome Cooldown Tome	Gym Sauce Moldy Cheese Credit Card (Red) Beefy Ring Power Gloves Oats Medkit Beer Mirror Battery Boss Buster Brass Knuckles

Key Synergy: HP Tome amplifies Monke’s per-level health gains, enhancing early survivability and late-game endurance. Supplemental items like Oats and Medkit boost regeneration. Size upgrades expand Aura’s defensive range and Bananarang’s AoE potential. Revolver/Rocket focus on high-value targets, augmented by Quantity and Cooldown tomes for projectile volume and attack speed.

Prioritize damage-scaling items and shrines. Substituting HP Tome for Damage Tome accelerates offense but risks longevity in extended engagements.

Strategy Two – Ranged Barrage

Capitalize on Monke’s mobility with projectile-focused combat, clearing waves through aerial bombardment.

Weapons	Tomes	Items
Bananarang Revovler Bone/Katana Firestaff/Slutty Rocket	Quantity Tome Damage Tome Cooldown Tome Size Tome	Oats Medkit Backpack Modly Cheese Time Bracelet Gym Sauce Feathers Scarf Spicy Meatball Turbo Socks Beefy Ring Gas Mask Turbo Skates Demonic Soul

Core Mechanics: Early-game revolves around acquiring Revolver/Firestaff and Quantity Tome to unlock rapid-fire potential. Damage Tome ensures projectiles maintain threat parity, while mobility items like Turbo Skates enhance repositioning. Passive HP scaling suffices, but Chonkplate adds lifesteal flexibility.

Strategy Three – Precision Strikes

An unconventional critical-focused setup requiring specific early items for viability.

Weapons	Tomes	Items
Bananarang Revolver Katana Aura	Precision Tome Damage Tome Quantity Tome Size Tome/HP Tome	Gym Sauce Forbidden Juice Demonic Blade Beefy Ring Demonic Soul Battery Clover Time Bracelet Giant Fork Feathers

Execution: Precision Tome and Forbidden Juice enable frequent critical hits. Revolver/Katana benefit from crit scaling, while Giant Fork or Demonic Blade enhance sustain. Adjust between Size/HP Tomes based on early drops; pivot to Strategy Two if core items are absent.
