Character build guides

9 characters have their own build page: the kit, a dated editorial starter build, what the major guides recommend and what leaderboard runs actually use.

Unlock order that follows normal play

Most unlocks come naturally if you push the maps in order. This is the path the quests imply:

1. Forest Tier 1: clearing it unlocks CL4NK. Killing skeletons and goblins along the way works toward Calcium (1,000 Skeletons) and Ogre (15,000 Goblins).
2. Forest Tier 2: clearing it unlocks Robinette; reaching stage 2 of it as CL4NK opens the Desert.
3. Forest secrets: free Monke and defeat the hidden Bush on the Forest map.
4. Desert Tiers 1 and 2: unlock Ninja and Vlad; the hidden Bandit is on the Desert map.
5. Tier 3: clearing Tier 3 unlocks Sir Chadwell (wiki pages disagree on whether it must be Forest or Desert).
6. Challenges and quests: 2 challenges for Tony McZoom, 6 for Spaceman, 100 quests for Dicehead.

Every quest in one list: Megabonk unlocks and quests.

Which character to start with

Editorial picks, October 22, 2026. Basis: the starting stats and passives above, not win-rate data.

• Sir Oofie — the most forgiving start: 150 Max HP, 17% Armor and +1% Armor per level.
• Fox — starts with 15% Luck and gains more each level, so chests and level-ups offer rarer picks.
• CL4NK — his Revolver fires 6 bullets and he gains Crit Chance per level, but he starts with only 40 HP (plus a 50 Shield), so he punishes mistakes.
• Monke — 135 Max HP, 1.2x Damage and wall climbing make him a safe early unlock.
