MegaBonk Weapon Scaling Guide | Weapon Scaling Explained
Weapon scaling in MegaBonk isn’t always clear, and new players often miss how stats actually boost damage. Some weapons scale with projectiles, others don’t at all. Knowing which stats work for each weapon type can completely change how far you make it in a run.
How Weapon Scaling Works in MegaBonk
Each weapon in MegaBonk scales differently depending on its type. Some care about Projectile Count and Speed, while others rely on Attack Speed, Size, or Damage. The main thing to remember is that no single stat powers every weapon equally.
Projectile-based weapons like Revolver, Dice, and Shotgun scale mainly with Projectile Count, Attack Speed, and Damage. Each of these multiplies how often and how hard your shots land, making them ideal for burst and crowd clearing.
Melee weapons like Sword, Katana, and Axe scale better with Damage, Size, and Knockback. They hit harder per swing, but Attack Speed has less impact since they don’t fire multiple projectiles.
Aura-style weapons like Aura or Flamewalker rely on Attack Speed and Size. Projectile stats don’t affect them, but boosting Size increases the damage zone around your character, which stacks well with Damage Tomes.
Special weapons like Black Hole, Tornado, and Dexecutioner scale oddly. Black Hole benefits from Size and Cooldown reduction. Tornado relies on Size but not Quantity. Dexecutioner scales directly with Damage and Crit Chance, letting its executes snowball in power.
Best Stats for Weapon Scaling
Here’s what matters most depending on your weapon type:
Projectile weapons: Damage, Attack Speed, Quantity, Projectile Speed
Melee weapons: Damage, Size, Knockback
Aura weapons: Damage, Attack Speed, Size
Special weapons: Damage, Cooldown, Size, or specific effects like Crit
Attack Speed and Quantity are the most consistent scaling boosts in the game. They improve both raw DPS and how fast on-hit effects trigger. Cooldown reduction also helps weapons like Dexecutioner or Black Hole, where uptime means survival.
Tome Scaling and Synergy
Tomes are the main source of scaling beyond weapon levels. Damage Tome increases every weapon’s output, while Quantity Tome multiplies projectile-based builds. Cooldown Tome affects any weapon that relies on charge or repeating effects.
Aura or melee builds benefit more from Size and Attack Speed Tomes. These make close-range attacks hit more enemies and apply effects faster. XP Tome indirectly helps scaling by speeding up weapon upgrades through faster leveling.
How Items Affect Scaling
Items that trigger on-hit effects multiply with your weapon scaling. For example, Moldy Cheese, Lightning Orb, and Toxic Barrel all activate more often with fast-hitting weapons. Kevin, which causes self-hits, also scales with frequency, letting builds with lifesteal turn self-damage into huge value.
Items like Demonic Blood or Gym Sauce increase Damage directly and are good for any weapon type. Speed Boi and Turbo Socks boost scaling through attack or movement speed synergy.
Final Blurb
Weapon scaling in MegaBonk comes down to knowing what your weapon actually benefits from. Projectile builds love Quantity and Speed, melee builds need pure Damage, and aura builds rely on Size. Mix in the right Tomes and items, and every weapon can scale hard enough to melt bosses before they move.
