Aura
The Aura is an unlockable weapon in Megabonk that continuously damages enemies in a radius around the player. Unlike projectile weapons, Aura provides consistent protection and chip damage without requiring aim.
How to Unlock

- This challenge is easiest on the first Forest stage, where enemy density and aggression are lower.
- Playing cautiously, avoiding swarms, and keeping distance from ranged enemies helps complete the requirement.
- After completion, Aura becomes available for purchase in the Unlocks tab for 1 Silver.
Strategy and Synergies
Aura excels at **close-quarters defense**, making it especially effective against swarming enemies.
- Works best with characters who benefit from aggressive melee positioning.
- Since Aura ignores projectile upgrades, it levels consistently with Damage and Size, ensuring reliable growth.
