Shield Tome
The Shield Tome adds a regenerating shield to your character in Megabonk. The shield takes damage first, protecting your HP. If you don’t take hits for a while, the shield refills, letting you absorb more punishment during long fights.
Overview
- Stat: Shield
- Base upgrade per level: +25
- Max level: 99
- Unlock: Default
Effects
- Provides a shield buffer that blocks incoming damage.
- Shield regenerates automatically when you avoid damage for a short time.
- Scales well in long fights and survival runs.

- This Tome is unlocked by default.
No conditions are required.
Synergies
- Regen Tome: Combine shield regen with HP regen for layered sustain.
- Evasion Tome: Evading hits keeps your shield up longer.
- Armor Tome: Reduces incoming damage, making the shield last even more.
- Cursed Tome: Extra enemy density makes shield sustain more important.
Strategy Tips
- Great defensive option, especially early in a run.
- Best when combined with other sustain sources so you don’t lose both shield and HP too quickly.
- Works well for melee builds that take chip damage while staying close to enemies.
Notes
- Shield can be thought of as a “second health bar” that encourages careful play.
- Synergizes with many defensive and sustain-focused Tomes.
