Damage Tome
The Damage Tome is one of the most straightforward but powerful Tomes in Megabonk. It boosts the base damage of your attacks, making every hit stronger. Since it multiplies with other effects, it’s a core part of nearly every offensive build.
Overview
- Stat: Damage
- Base upgrade per level: +0.08x
- Max level: 99
- Unlock: Default
Effects
- Directly increases the damage dealt by all attacks.
| Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.08 | 0.1 | 0.11 | 0.13 | 0.16 |
How to Unlock
- This Tome is unlocked by default.
No special condition is needed.
Synergies
- Precision Tome: Critical hits deal more when base damage is higher.
- Cooldown Tome: Faster attacks combined with more damage = massive DPS.
- Quantity Tome: More projectiles each benefit from the damage boost.
- Size Tome: Larger hitboxes plus more damage make AoE clear stronger.
Strategy Tips
- A good option for most offensive builds, though the Precision Tome will outperform it in most situations for longer runs as each level of the Crit tome is worth more damage than the Damage tome after a single Crit Damage upgrade of any rarity from Charge Shrines.
- Despite the point above, Poison & Bloodmark cannot Crit so this tome is ideal for any build centered around Poison or Bloodmark for the majority of their damage.
- Good to invest early for snowballing damage as runs go longer.
- Combine with defense Tomes if you’re struggling to survive while scaling damage.
Notes
- Considered one of the strongest “always useful” Tomes.
- High synergy with almost every offensive Tome in the game.
