Sword
The Sword is one of the primary starter weapons available at the beginning of Megabonk. As a reliable and easy-to-use melee weapon, it is the default choice for the character Sir Oofie.
The Sword is not only a solid weapon for early runs but also a crucial tool for progression, as it is required to unlock two other powerful weapons.
Strategy and Synergies
The Sword is a straightforward weapon that excels at clearing enemies directly in front of the player. Its wide, sweeping arc can hit multiple targets at once.
- Upgrade Path: The most effective upgrades for the Sword are Size (to increase the width of its slash arc) and Projectile Count (to add more slashes per attack). Knockback is also a valuable defensive upgrade, pushing enemies away to create breathing room.
- Key Synergies:
- Sir Oofie (Character): As Sir Oofie's default weapon, the Sword pairs perfectly with his tanky nature. Sir Oofie's high survivability allows him to remain in close combat, maximizing the Sword's effectiveness.
- Melee Tomes: The Sword benefits greatly from any Tomes that increase general Melee Damage or Attack Speed, allowing it to clear hordes much faster.
