The Megabonk Character Tier List 2025 ranks every playable hero from S-tier powerhouses to F-tier grinds, helping you choose the best character for your playstyle and unlock progress. Whether you’re a beginner starting with Fox or an endgame player chasing Spaceman, understanding character rankings can dramatically improve your success rate.
Here’s what makes this tier list different: Rankings are based on 40% accessibility (how easily you can unlock them), 30% power level (blessing strength and weapon quality), 20% consistency (performance across different situations), and 10% uniqueness (special mechanics). This approach prioritizes characters you can actually play, not just theoretical power.
Key takeaways from the 2025 meta:
- Fox and Sir Oofie remain S-tier due to default availability and powerful scaling mechanics—luck blessing and infinite armor respectively
- Ninja and Calcium offer high skill ceilings for players seeking challenging, rewarding gameplay with execute mechanics and speed scaling
- Late-game characters like Spaceman and Amog rank lower despite potential power because their unlock requirements (6 challenges, 50k poison kills) place them out of reach for most players
- CL4NK provides the best early unlock with Forest Tier 1 completion offering reliable crit scaling without excessive grinding
The 2025 meta rewards players who understand their character’s blessing mechanics and synergize weapons accordingly. Whether you prioritize survival, damage output, or unique gameplay mechanics, there’s a character positioned perfectly for your goals. Let’s break down every character and find your perfect match.
Megabonk Charater Tier List
Fox and Sir Oofie headline S-tier thanks to starter access and blessings that scale every level (luck and armor). Ninja and Calcium round out A-tier as strong unlocks with high ceilings. The rest land from B to F based on grindy unlocks, niche kits, or inconsistent power.
S-Tier — Meta Defining 🏆
Why these are S: easy access, reliable scaling each level, and weapons that carry weak shops or bad rolls.
| Character | Score | Unlock | Weapon | RNG Blessing | What Makes Them Nuts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fox 🦊 | 96/100 | Default | Firestaff | +1% Luck per level | Luck quietly boosts drops and roll quality every run, smoothing bad RNG into good outcomes. |
| Sir Oofie 🛡️ | 94/100 | Default | Sword | +1% Armor per level | Infinite armor growth = late-game bully. Slow start, steamroller finish. |
Play notes:
- Fox: Firestaff pierces and the luck blessing keeps paying dividends. Runs feel “richer” the longer you live.
- Sir Oofie: Soaks mistakes. If your dodging’s meh, he’s your safety net.
A-Tier — Excellent Picks You’ll Feel Right Away 💥
| Character | Score | Unlock | Weapon | RNG Blessing | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ninja 🥷 | 91/100 | Desert T1 + Katana | Katana | Execute on evade + +0.5% Evasion/level | High skill ceiling, huge payoff, stylish clears. |
| Calcium 💀 | 87/100 | Kill 1,000 Skeletons | Bone | Speed builds over time; halved on hit; damage scales with speed | Snowballs hard if you don’t get tagged. |
| CL4NK 🤖 | 85/100 | Forest T1 + Revolver | Revolver | +1% Crit Chance per level | Predictable growth and safe ranged lines; crit chance is a classic DPS multiplier. ([Wikipedia][4]) |
| Megachad ⚔️ | 84/100 | Damage Tome Lv7 + Aura | Aura | Stops damage & stuns; −0.2s CD/level | Crowd control king with timing mastery. |
My take:
- Learn Ninja if you love skill expression.
- Calcium is a thrill ride: flawless or flustered—no middle.
- CL4NK is the comfy chair of damage scaling; the crit curve feels fair.
- Megachad shines in elite waves and bosses when stuns chain.
B-Tier — Good, With Strings Attached 🎯
| Character | Score | Unlock | Weapon | RNG Blessing | Style |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Athena 🏛️ | 82/100 | Thorns Tome Lv9 + Aegis | Aegis | More damage on low HP + +1 Thorns/level | Risky low-HP tech with payoff. |
| Ogre 👹 | 79/100 | Kill 15,000 Goblins + Axe | Axe | +1% Damage/level | Straight shooter; gigantic grind. |
| Monke 🦍 | 78/100 | Find in Forest + Bananarang | Bananarang | Climb walls + +2 Max HP/level | Exploration perks; combat is situational. |
Tip: Ogre hits like a truck but the unlock is a marathon. If you’re still filling your roster, postpone that grind.
C-Tier — Average, With Unknowns Or Gaps 🤔
| Character | Score | Unlock | Weapon | RNG Blessing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bush 🌳 | 75/100 | Find & defeat in Forest | Sniper Rifle | TBD | Hidden boss vibes; long-range play. |
| Tony McZoom 🏃 | 73/100 | Complete 2 Challenges | Wireless Dagger | TBD | Mobility-heavy; blessing unclear. |
Should you rush these?
No. Cool finds, but info gaps mean inconsistent returns.
D-Tier — Very Niche, Very Specific 🧩
| Character | Score | Unlock | Weapon | RNG Blessing | Why So Low |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Birdo 🦅 | 68/100 | 100 Tornado kills while carried | Tornado | TBD | Painfully specific unlock; narrow use. |
| Noelle ❄️ | 66/100 | Microwave Ice Crystal ×3 | Frostwalker | TBD | Multi-step unlock; puzzle-y flow. |
| Amog 🧪 | 65/100 | Poison 50,000 enemies | Poison Flask | TBD | Time sink; DOT only shines in certain maps. |
F-Tier — Powerful… After a Lifetime Of Unlocks 🕳️
| Character | Score | Unlock | Weapon | RNG Blessing | Reality Check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spaceman 🚀 | 62/100 | Complete 6 Challenges | Black Hole | TBD | Ultimate late unlock; cool kit, late payoff. |
| Vlad 🧛 | 60/100 | Desert T2 + Blood Magic | Blood Magic | TBD | Advanced mechanics, very late access. |
| Sir Chadwell ⚔️ | 58/100 | Forest T3 + Corrupted Sword | Corrupted Sword | TBD | Endgame gatekeeping galore. |
Note: F-tier here reflects accessibility and consistency, not raw style points. Some of these could be cracked after months—but you want wins this weekend, right?
My Recommended Unlock Path 🗺️
Fast, low-friction order:
- CL4NK — Forest T1 is manageable; crit scaling feels great early.
- Calcium — 1,000 skeletons happen naturally while practicing.
- Ninja — Clear Desert T1 once you’re comfy dodging.
- Megachad — Push Tome Lv7 when your shop sense improves.
- Athena — For advanced thorns tech and low-HP routing.
Most accessible S-tier (no work required): Fox and Sir Oofie.
Best Builds At A Glance 🧱➡️💥
- Fox: Stack pickup radius, rarity, and XP. Luck keeps the shop honest.
- Sir Oofie: Armor, regen, and any on-hit effects—he turns into a bulldozer.
- Ninja: Evasion, dash cooldown, and execute windows. Like threading needles at speed.
- CL4NK: Crit chance → crit damage → attack speed. Classic, clean scaling.
- Calcium: Movement speed, then more speed. Getting hit cuts your fun in half—literally.
RNG in games powers loot rolls, crits, and events; it’s the math behind “lucky” runs.
Meta Snapshot (2025) 📈
- Why S-tier wins: linear, level-based blessings that don’t care if the shop is stingy.
- Why late unlocks lag: time gates suppress pick rate and practice, which lowers consistency.
- Why crit/ranged feels comfy: you control space, then scale numbers. That combo ages well across patches.

How I Rank (Weights & What They Mean)
| Factor | Weight | What I Looked For |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40% | Can the average player unlock it this week? |
| Power Level | 30% | Blessing strength + weapon synergy |
| Consistency | 20% | Works with mediocre shops and map RNG |
| Uniqueness | 10% | Mechanics that create distinct play patterns |
I prioritize characters most folks can actually play today. Endgame toys get lower marks if they demand a saga to unlock.

FAQ 💬
Q: I’m brand new. Who should I start with? A: Fox. Luck per level smooths out scuffed shops and lifts your entire run.
Q: I keep dying early. Any rescue picks? A: Sir Oofie. Stack armor and regen, then outlast everything.
Q: What’s the first unlock to chase? A: CL4NK. Forest T1 is realistic, and crit brings steady damage growth.
Q: Is Ogre worth the grind? A: If you love raw damage, yes—eventually. But the 15k goblins requirement is a wall for casual players.
