Bloody Tome
Appearance
The Bloody Tome is a sustain-focused Tome in Megabonk that provides lifesteal on hit. It excels in rapid-hit builds, converting frequent attacks into steady healing throughout a run.
Overview
- Stat: Lifesteal
- Base upgrade per level: +10%
- Max level: 99
- Category: Sustain / Recovery
Effects
- Each level increases the chance to heal 1 HP when you hit an enemy.

Synergies
- Cooldown Tome / Quantity Tome & naturally fast firing or area of effect weapons: More hits → more healing procs.
- Armor Tome / Shield Tome: Mitigation + self-heal allows longer engagements.
- Cursed Tome: Higher enemy density creates more opportunities to proc lifesteal.
Strategy Tips
- Prioritize on melee or high-tick-rate builds.
- Combine with area or duration effects to blanket crowds and sustain through chip damage.
- Don’t neglect mitigation—lifesteal shines when you can safely stay in range to keep hitting.
Notes
- Actual sustain depends on hit frequency and enemy density.
- Over-healing does not stack beyond current missing HP without Chonkplate.
