S Tier

These are the best Tomes in the game. They boost your power in meaningful ways and work well no matter what weapon or character you’re using in Megabonk.

Tome	Effect	Description
Cooldown Tome	Reduces attack cooldowns.	This is the strongest scaling Tome in the game. Faster cooldowns mean faster attacks, higher DPS, and more chances to trigger other effects. You’ll find this Tome in nearly every powerful build.
Quantity Tome	Increases the number of projectiles or attack instances.	Simply put, more projectiles mean more hits, which equals more damage. This one doubles your offense and mixes well with nearly every weapon in Megabonk.
Damage Tome	Boosts base attack damage.	This one looks simple but is brutally effective. It makes weapons scale up more in late-game waves.
XP Tome	Increases XP gained from all sources.	Leveling up quickly gives you upgrades sooner and snowballs your build early. In longer runs, this Tome can help you dominate.

A Tier

A-tier Tomes are pretty good but tend to be more situational. They add valuable utility, survivability, or scaling, but don’t always outperform the top-tier options.

Tome	Effect	Description
Precision Tome	Increases crit chance and unlocks Overcrit scaling.	When combined with other damage boosts, this Tome can push your DPS through the roof. It’s perfect for crit-based builds.
Agility Tome	Increases movement speed.	Since Megabonk is so fast-paced, movement speed is life. It doesn’t matter if you’re dodging bosses or killing enemies, Agility gives you much-needed control and safety.
Evasion Tome	Gives you a chance to dodge incoming attacks.	Even though it’s RNG-based, it’s extremely satisfying when it works. Pairs well with Ninja and other high-dodge characters.
Bloody Tome	Restores health when you deal damage.	Think of it like a built-in life steal. Helps sustain you in chaotic waves and pairs well with high-hit-rate weapons.
Size Tome	Increases the size of your attacks, explosions, or projectiles.	Bigger attacks mean more coverage and better mob control. It also increases damage indirectly by hitting more enemies at once.
Silver Tome	Increases silver gained during runs.	This Tome speeds up your overall progression and scaling builds. It’s perfect for long silver farming sessions.

B Tier

B-tier Tomes have solid effects, but they don’t always feel impactful. They can still be great if your build happens to benefit from them.

Tome	Effect	Description
Regan Tome	Gradually restores HP over time.	Consistent healing, but weaker than Bloody Tome’s faster sustain. Still solid for beginners or slower-paced runs.
Shield Tome	Generates a shield that regenerates after avoiding damage.	This Tome is great for casual or defensive runs. However, it breaks easily in late-game chaos, so its reliability drops off.
Luck Tome	Raises your Luck stat for better drops	While it occasionally rewards rare items, this Tome relies too much on RNG to be consistent.
Armor Tome	Reduces incoming damage.	A steady defensive boost, best when paired with regen or shield effects. Doesn’t scale as well into late waves.
Attraction Tome	Increases XP pickup range.	This Tome is good for smoother XP farming early, but once your build scales, it becomes irrelevant.
Golden Tome	Increases gold earned.	Useful for long-term farming or progression, but doesn’t help much mid-run.
Projectile Speed Tome	Speeds up your projectiles.	Quality-of-life boost for ranged builds, but not a raw power upgrade like Quantity or Damage.

C Tier

C-tier Tomes are either too situational, too weak, or simply not worth using. They might sound cool, but they rarely pay off in the long run.

Tome	Effect	Description
HP Tome	Increases Maximum health	Looks strong on paper but doesn’t help unless paired with the suitable Tomes. Feels more like a trap pick.
Knockback Tome	Pushes enemies back on hit.	Good crowd control early, but useless against bosses and late-game enemies.
Duration Tome	Extends attack or projectile duration.	This is a niche benefit, mostly for specific weapons like the Axe. Not worth it otherwise.
Thorns Tome	Damages enemies when they hit you.	This Tome sounds better than it performs. Damage output is too low to matter.
Cursed Tome	Raises difficulty for a minimal reward.	This Tome is fun for challenge runs, but not practical for serious play.
Chaos Tome	Randomly boosts a stat or triggers shrine effects.	This Tome is too unpredictable. It can either help or completely mess up your run.
