Roberto is the newest character to be added to Megabonk as part of the Spooky Update, and he can be an incredibly fun character to play.
He is also one of the hardest characters to unlock. Once you add him to the roster, however, Roberto could easily be considered a top-tier character. This guide will provide you with all the information you need to get a meta build for our spooky ghost.

Best Megabonk Roberto build
To build Roberto properly, you’ll need to understand how his kit works. Roberto isn’t blessed with a lot of health, and he doesn’t need it either. He is a typical DPS character who excels when you boost his attacks.
Before we dive deeper, let’s look at how you can set up the character.
| Type | Best Choices | Good Choices |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon | Scythe (signature weapon) Aura Bananarang | Lightning Staff Chunkers |
| Tomes | Luck Size Agility | Regen Attack Speed |
| Items | Clover Gym Sauce Medkit | Turbo Socks Green Credit Card |
The Scythe is a fantastic weapon in my books, as its slashes are pretty powerful. It can hit multiple enemies with a single swing, and you don’t even need to target in a specific direction. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite weapons. The range could be slightly better, but it’s still a 9/10 weapon.
Aura is a must-have with Roberto so that you can gain your levels as quickly as possible. This is to trigger its Hoarder passive more frequently. With Hoarder, you get free chests after a certain interval, and this improves as you level up. Moreover, Hoarder also allows you to float, which has several benefits.
The Bananarang adds a bit of range to Roberto, but you can also go for Lightning Staff if you’re focusing on AoE for easier wave clearances.
With Tomes, you’ll want to add Luck as quickly as possible. Since you’ll be opening plenty of extra chests, having the additional luck will be immensely helpful. And, with the Scythe’s limited range, adding the Size tome will remove that weakness (and also enhance the effects of Aura).
That’s also why I went for Clover in my list of items (enhanced luck is required to get better returns from your chest). Gym Sauce raises the damage from all your weapons, while Medkit helps Roberto to preserve his health in dire situations (since he doesn’t have too much health to begin with).
Of course, you’ll also need to unlock Roberto in the first place.
How to unlock Roberto in Megabonk
Here’s a quick guide on how to add the new character to your available roster.
- Unlock the Scythe by killing Big Bob, who is one of the bosses in the Graveyard. Once you do so, you’ll be able to purchase a Scythe.
- Once you have the Scythe, defeat Spooky Steve, and you’ll get the choice to unlock Roberto.
