    MegaBonk Builds

    Black Hole + Size Tome snowball. Easy to run. Scales hard. Casual notes below.

    Core Build Concept

    • Main mechanic: Black Hole skill + Size Tome to create huge black holes for crowd control and farming.
    • Goal: stack size, experience, and luck to snowball levels, farm legendaries, and sustain into long overtime runs.
    • Results: 1M+ kills and top leaderboard placements with this setup.

    Weapons and Scaling

    Essential: Black Hole. Strong size scalers work great with it.

    • Katana (screen wide at high size)
    • Executioner
    • Aura
    • Flame Walker
    • Lightning Staff
    • Banana
    • Axe
    Example setup: Black Hole, Executioner, Katana, Lightning Staff.

    Tomes

    • Core Tome: Size Tome to scale black holes.
    • Scaling Tomes: EXP, Luck, Difficulty.
    • EXP for faster leveling. Luck for better items and legendaries. Difficulty for more mob spawns which means more EXP.

    Character Choice

    Preferred: Bandit for attack speed scaling. The build still works on many characters, so try stuff.

    Stage by Stage Strategy

    Early Game (Stage 1)

    • Do not level Black Hole early since the upgrades are weak early on.
    • Lean on strong early weapons like Aura, Lightning Staff, and Katana.
    • Boost projectile count through shrines or upgrades since you are not using Projectile Tome.
    • Valuable early items: Moldy Cheese, Poison, early legendaries.
    • Prioritize leveling EXP Tome. Add Luck once damage stabilizes.
    • Avoid Difficulty until you feel comfortable, then grab it.
    • Target: finish Stage 1 around Level 50.

    Make or Break Item

    Joe's Dagger (Legendary) gives a 1% execute chance. It is your late game win condition once raw damage falls off vs tanky mobs.

    Stage 2

    • Stabilize damage, then pump EXP and Luck Tomes.
    • Pick Difficulty only after you are stable.
    • Do not over commit to Size Tome unless you have no better options.
    • Goal: farm EXP and lock in Joe's Dagger before Stage 3.

    Stage 3

    By now EXP and Luck should be maxed or close.

    The Stage 3 chest is a prime time to chase multiple legendaries.

    Priority Legendaries
    • Joe's Dagger. Stack as many as you can.
    • Zaw Watada for a safety net so you can greed longer.
    • Magnet Legendary that auto collects EXP every 30s. This lets you AFK farm in overtime.

    No Magnet? Save on map magnets as a backup.

    Endgame and Overtime

    • Optimized runs can reach 60 plus minutes overtime in Stage 3.
    • At around 60 minutes, mobs become too strong for black holes to contain.
    • Without Zaw Watada, consider exiting at about 59 minutes.
    • With Zaw Watada, push until death then take the boss portal.
    • After the boss portal, repeat the cycle in the final stage for another big window of scaling.

    Quick Takeaways

    • Formula: Black Hole + Size Tome + EXP and Luck scaling + Joe's Dagger.
    • Stage 1: survive, farm EXP and Luck, hit around level 50.
    • Stage 2: stabilize, stack EXP and Luck, secure Joe's Dagger.
    • Stage 3: max tomes, hunt legendaries, farm long overtime.
    • Leaderboard viable and repeatable.
