Find the Megabonk guide for your next decision

Direct answer: start with the question that is costing the run. Use build planning for a target, meta explained for a disputed strategy, and progression for unlock or patch decisions. Every route listed below is complete.

Version boundary: 1.0.69 is the current official context. The build leaderboard source is historical 1.0.65 observed data, and the final-swarm rework is an older official 1.0.12 mechanic that still changes how survival advice should be read.

Build planning

Choose a build by run goal

Which route fits a first clear, 300K kills, or a high-score attempt?

Build a first consistent clear

How do you preserve movement, coverage, and boss-learning room without copying a leaderboard setup?

Plan a 300K kills attempt

How do you balance economy, crowd control, routing, scaling, and recovery for a high-kill push?

Plan a defensible high-score run

How do you separate score, kills, and clears while checking whether the evidence is reproducible?

Meta explained

Decide whether the Holy Trinity fits

When should XP, Luck, and Difficulty stay together, and when should one part be delayed or skipped?

Compare characters by goal

Which starting recommendation fits learning, and which characters have historical high-kill evidence?

Survive the final swarm

Is the run failing from low damage, lost control and mobility, or late choices that diluted scaling?

Progression

Prioritize unlock categories

Which unlock categories improve future choices first without pretending the requirements are a fixed database?

Check the current patch

What is the current official version, what version labels public build data, and which fixes change guide advice?
