Megabonk Dicehead Build: Best Weapons, Tomes & Items

Updated October 22, 2026 · Patch covered: Megabonk v1.0.69 (Feb 4, 2026), still the latest on Steam as of Oct 22, 2026

Dicehead's kit and unlock

• Starting weapon Dice

  Passive Gamba: gain a random stat every level (rewards buffed in v1.0.41 and v1.0.49).

  Unlock Complete 100 quests, buy Dice

• Unlocking him takes 100 completed quests, so most players meet him late.

What leaderboard Dicehead runs use (player data)

Player data, read Oct 22, 2026: 206 Dicehead runs submitted to Megabonk Leaderboard.gg, the best with 5,447,698 kills. Percentages are the share of those runs that had each pick. The starting weapon is in every run, so it is not listed.

Leaderboard runs chase kill counts on hard settings, and nearly every character's runs look the same: Katana, Dexecutioner and Shotgun with the Chaos, XP and Cursed tomes. The 2026 Rank 100 guide calls Luck, Curse and Chaos what "all the leaderboard runs do". Long runs also end with dozens of items, so a 100% item shows what was in the inventory at the end, not what to pick first. Use the starter build above until those tomes are unlocked.

Tips from player guides

Player reports from Steam guides, with each guide's dates in the sources.

• Rank 100 guide: pick another weapon as your first level-up.
• 'What Stuff Does' guide: his level-up bonus was nerfed after level 100, and Dice now only raises the Dice's own Crit Chance.
