Tiers Explained

• S Tier: The best weapons in Megabonk and the ones used in almost all the meta builds. These are the weapons that you want to use, and most of the time, nothing but them.
• A Tier: Very good weapons that can be excellent options depending on what kind of interactions you’re targeting with your items, tomes, etc.
• B Tier: Weapons that heavily rely on what other weapons you’re using and your build. More often than not, they aren’t the best-in-slot options.
• C Tier: Extremely bad weapons that are borderline useless or so niche that there is no reason to go for them.

In the tier list above, we ranked all weapons in Megabonk based on their overall strength and versatility. Generally, Dexecutioner, Katana, Axe, and Flamewalker will be the best-in-slot weapons for almost every good build due to their DPS and utility.

There are many other weapons that can be viable, though they require non-meta tomes, certain items, or characters to make the most use of them. Also, check out Megabonk’s damage formula below to learn which weapons’ damage stacks and how.
