Start your Megabonk journey with these proven, beginner-friendly builds. Featuring Fox and Knight - the two most forgiving characters that teach core mechanics while remaining competitive.
Beginner builds prioritize three things: survivability, simplicity, and scaling potential. You want builds that forgive positioning mistakes, don't require complex item synergies, and naturally grow stronger as you level up.
Fox and Knight excel at all three. Fox offers safe ranged combat with straightforward damage scaling through luck. Knight provides face-tanking survivability with armor that builds automatically. Both characters teach you game fundamentals without punishing you harshly for mistakes.
