S-Tier Character Rankings 2024

After extensive testing and community feedback, here's our definitive ranking of the best characters in Megabonk.

S-Tier Characters

These characters are the cream of the crop - capable of clearing any content with the right builds.

1. Queen Sigma

Tier: S+
Starting Weapon: Victory Sword
Passive: +100% Might, -50% Duration

Queen Sigma is currently the strongest character in the game. Her massive might bonus makes every weapon hit like a truck, and while the duration penalty might seem harsh, it's easily offset by items.

Best Build Strategy:

• Focus on high base damage weapons


• Get Duration boosting items early


• Evolve Victory Sword ASAP

2. Red Death

Tier: S
Starting Weapon: Death Spiral
Passive: Starts with 255% Might, +1 Armor, +100% Movement Speed

The iconic "death" character. Incredibly powerful but requires careful play due to low HP.

Best Build Strategy:

• Prioritize armor and defensive items


• Death Spiral evolution is game-changing


• Keep moving - speed is your defense

3. Leda

Tier: S
Starting Weapon: Holy Wand
Passive: -70% Movement Speed, +5 Armor, +100% Might

Slow but incredibly tanky. Perfect for players who prefer a defensive playstyle.

Best Build Strategy:

• Build around area damage


• Get Wings early for mobility


• Holy Wand provides excellent crowd control

4. Mortaccio

• High luck stat for better drops

• Good for farming runs

5. Yatta Cavallo

• Excellent starting weapon

6. Poppea

• Song of Mana is powerful
