Megabonk Robinette Build: Best Weapons, Tomes & Items
Updated · Patch covered: Megabonk v1.0.69 (Feb 4, 2026), still the latest on Steam as of Oct 22, 2026
Robinette starts with the Bow and gains Gold Gain every level, and her damage grows with the gold you hold, so her builds hoard gold. Our starter build: Bow + Bananarang + Revolver + Aegis, with the Gold, XP, Cursed, Quantity tomes and Golden Glove, Golden Sneakers, Moldy Cheese, Backpack. Below are the builds the major guides recommend, with dates, and what high-score leaderboard runs use.
Robinette's kit and unlock

Passive Stonks: +1% Gold Gain per level and damage that scales with the gold you hold; +5% flat Gold Gain since v1.0.64.

Starter build (editorial pick)
Editorial pick, Oct 22, 2026. Basis: overlap of Destructoid (Sep 30, 2025), Dexerto (Oct 20, 2025) and the 2026 Rank 100 Steam guide. We have not play-tested it; it is the part the sources agree on.
- Weapons: Bow + Bananarang + Revolver + Aegis
- Tomes: Gold, XP, Cursed, Quantity
- Items to look for: Golden Glove, Golden Sneakers, Moldy Cheese, Backpack
Destructoid and Dexerto list the same four weapons and the same gold items. The Rank 100 guide adds a spending rule: only open chests when you have double the gold they cost.
Want to check how the tomes fit the weapons, or save your own version? Load it in the Megabonk build planner. Tome values are on the tomes page and item effects on the items page.

What leaderboard Robinette runs use (player data)
Player data, read Oct 22, 2026: 24 Robinette runs submitted to Megabonk Leaderboard.gg, the best with 808,231 kills. Percentages are the share of those runs that had each pick. The starting weapon is in every run, so it is not listed.
Extra weapons
Tomes
Items
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: only buy chests if you have double the gold required, so you never drop to 0 gold with her.
- 'What Stuff Does' guide: focus Damage and Gold Gain, which her passive encourages.
