Megabonk Monke Build Guide

Megabonk gives you a roster of 20 characters (currently) to choose from for each run, and Monke is easily one of the most entertaining picks in the lineup. Even though at first, he might look like a joke pick in Megabonk, once you unlock him and get a feel for his movement, you’ll quickly realize how powerful this wild ape truly is.

What makes Monke stand out is how his agility turns defense into offense. If built correctly, Monke is one of the safest yet deadliest characters in Megabonk so far. This guide covers the best weapons and items for the ultimate Monke build.

Best Weapon Combos for Monke in Megabonk

Monke starts with the Bananarang, a banana-shaped boomerang that hits multiple enemies in one throw. It’s a little tricky to master at first, since you’ll need to predict enemy movement and the weapon’s curve, but once you do, it’s lethal. The Bananarang scales beautifully with Monke’s passive and works perfectly with projectile or size-based upgrades, so it should always stay in your loadout.

Here are some of the best weapon setups for him:

• Bananarang + Katana + Bow: A well-rounded build focused on critical hits, long-range coverage, and boss damage.
• Bananarang + Aura + Bone: An aggressive setup for players who like to get up close. Increasing Aura size turns your mobility into a damaging shield.
• Bananarang + Rocket + Katana: High-risk, high-reward combo built for massive Crits and explosive burst damage.
• Bananarang + Bow + Bone: A safer ranged setup that takes advantage of Monke’s wall-climbing for hit-and-run tactics.

The Katana naturally boosts Crit Chance in Megabonk and pairs perfectly with Forbidden Juice, while the Slutty Rocket shines in boss fights and Elite farming because of its powerful area damage. The Bow and Bone are great for players who prefer keeping their distance while still clearing crowds efficiently.

Best Items for Monke in Megabonk

Monke benefits the most from items that increase damage output, mobility, and scaling survivability. His passive already grants a steady HP increase each level, so it’s best to focus on stacking Crit Chance, overall damage, and movement to make the most of his agile playstyle.

For early and mid-game, use Forbidden Juice and Gym Sauce. Forbidden Juice adds a flat +10% Crit Chance, perfectly complementing weapons like the Katana and Bananarang that hit multiple times per swing or throw. Gym Sauce, on the other hand, boosts all forms of damage by +10%.

Best Tomes for Monke in Megabonk

Monke thrives when his weapons scale, so the following tomes should always be prioritized:

• Quantity Tome: More projectiles mean more damage, especially with Bananarang and Rocket.
• Size Tome: Increases Katana and Aura effectiveness, making crowd control easier.
• Precision Tome: Boosts Crit chance and damage.
