Megabonk Characters Tier List
Tiers Explained
- S Tier: The best characters in Megabonk. Their passives are OP, and if you build them right, you’ll be topping the leaderboards.
- A Tier: Very strong characters that can reach high kill counts with proper builds and are useful for a lot of challenges.
- B Tier: Niche characters that are either useful for certain challenges or just aren’t as strong as A/S-tier characters.
- C Tier: Bad characters that underperform in most circumstances.
In the tier list above, we ranked all characters in Megabonk by their overall strength and potential to reach extremely high kill counts and top the leaderboard. Passive abilities and basic weapons are what define each character. Some characters have god-tier passives, while some have garbage-tier ones. Basic weapons are also important, but not nearly as much.
The best characters in Megabonk right now are Fox, Bush, and Noelle, while the worst ones are Tony McZoom, Athena, Ninja, Monke, and Sir Oofie.

Sir Chadwell |  Corrupted Sword Slashes in both directions.

Rolling a 6 increases your Crit Chance permanently. |  Gamba Roll the dice and upgrade a random stat on Level Up! | + Has a Chaos tome built into its kit + Dice is a very good early-game weapon that scales quickly – Chaos tome provides much better stat boosts – The passive has diminishing returns the longer the run is |
