CL4NK Guide - Best Glass Cannon Crit Build

TL;DR 📝

🎯 Core Strength: Highest damage potential in game with auto-scaling crit chance

⚡ Key Strategy: Distance management + crit scaling, never waste upgrades on crit chance

💪 Why It's Meta: Revolver is S-tier weapon, +1% crit per level stacks automatically

🚨 Main Weakness: Smallest HP/armor pools in game, dies instantly in close combat

Overview

Glass cannon ranged character focused on critical hits. CL4NK is the ultimate glass cannon character in Megabonk, offering the highest damage ceiling in the entire game at the cost of having the smallest health and armor pools. This isn't a character for beginners—CL4NK demands precise positioning, excellent kiting skills, and deep game knowledge to survive.

What makes CL4NK truly special is the automatic crit scaling. With +1% Crit Chance per level, you never need to waste upgrades on crit chance—it builds itself. This frees up your item and upgrade choices to focus purely on crit damage, attack speed, and raw damage multipliers. Pair this with the Revolver (an S-tier weapon) and you've got a character that can absolutely shred bosses and elites.

The Revolver fires multiple bullets with incredible crit synergy, making it perfect for CL4NK's automatic crit scaling. When properly built with items like Battery, Gym Sauce, and Forbidden Juice, CL4NK becomes a damage-dealing monster. Just remember: enemies getting close means death. Distance is survival.

Strategy & Tips

Learning Distance Management

Keep moving constantly: Never stop moving. Make circular patterns to avoid getting cornered.
Distance is survival: Enemies getting close = death. Always maintain maximum range with Revolver.
Start with Bone secondary: Bone weapon clears swarms without aiming, giving you breathing room.
Prioritize HP items early: Grab Oats first to survive longer while learning positioning.
Use Charge Shrines: Buff your weak base stats with Charge Shrines whenever possible.
