Megabonk might have 20 characters for you to pick from for your run, but few are as fun as Monke.
This character has incredible speed and mobility and offers the ability to climb walls, which is unique. Unlocking him also differs from other characters, as you must find and release him in the Forest. Like every character in Megabonk, you'll want to use a build that suits his strengths and weaknesses.
Best Megabonk Monke build
Here's what I think is the best possible build for the ape in Megabonk.
| Type | Best Choices | Good Choices |
|---|---|---|
| Weapons | Bananarang (Primary) Aura Bone |
Katana Bow |
| Tomes | Quantity Size Projectile Speed HP |
Attack Speed Agility Damage |
| Items | Forbidden Juice Holy Book Gym Sauce Phantom Shroud |
Clover Slutty Cannon Anvil |
Bananarang is a difficult weapon to master in Megabonk, but it has dual benefits, although you'll have to be very good with your aim. To hit more enemies, you'll have to predict their movements and the trajectory of your weapon.
Bananarang has a great passive, which adds +2 Max HP per level. This also makes a good use-case scenario for Aura, which will naturally generate XP. The more XP you get, the quicker you level up (and hit the highest bonus of +100 max HP at level 50).
The Bananarang also allows you to climb up walls to reach areas many other characters (and enemies) can't reach. Use this ability to secure such positions and do damage from a distance. I have opted for Bone for its range, but you can also use Katana as the third choice.
Quantity and Size are essential tomes for Monke, considering how the Bananarang works. The former increases the number of attacks you can do, while the latter increases your shots' Size (and damage). Attack Speed and Projectile Speed are also good choices since the Bananarang can sometimes feel slightly sluggish.
Holy Book and Forbidden Juice are mandatory if they spawn on your run. Holy Book buffs your already max HP and regen to new levels, and the more you heal, the more you damage your surrounding enemies. Forbidden Juice, on the other hand, improves the crit chance by +10%. Gym Saunce is also a nice touch with its +10% boost to all forms of damage.
With Monke, you'll always want to plan ahead and use your Monke Grip to get on top of platforms. However, don't remain stuck in one position; pivot to new areas when required. Thankfully, my build has plenty of ways to buff Monke's health in emergencies.
