In Megabonk, Tomes are one of the main pillars of progression alongside Weapons and Items. While weapons handle your damage-dealing and items provide unique effects or bonuses, Tomes are the backbone of your character’s long-term growth during a run in Megabonk.
Many new players find Tomes confusing, but they’re actually the simplest of all. A Tome gives you a stat boost that scales as you level it up. As you unlock more Tomes, you can expand the pool of options you’ll see during your runs and play with different builds. You can unlock Tomes in the Unlock section of the Shop using Silver Coins in Megabonk.
