In Megabonk, few stats feel as satisfying to stack as Critical Hit Chance. Watching your attacks explode into massive numbers is part of the fun, but this stat is where Megabonk gets interesting. Unlike most games where 100% Crit Chance is the hard cap, this game takes it a step further. You can actually increase your Crit Chance over 100. For those who go over the limit, the game rewards them with Over-Crits and Mega-Crits. This guide explains exactly what these mechanics mean and why you should consistently increase your Crit Chance in Megabonk.
What Does Crit Chance Over 100% Do in Megabonk?
In Megabonk, Critical Hits are a basic way to deal increased damage. A standard crit doubles your attack’s power, applying your Critical Damage Multiplier (usually x2 by default). Items, upgrades and Tomes in Megabonk can boost both your Crit Chance and Crit Damage, letting you land more frequent and more powerful hits.
While most roguelike or arena-style games stop at 100% (meaning every hit is a guaranteed crit), Megabonk keeps scaling. Every bit of Crit Chance past 100% adds extra critical hit multiplications on top of the guaranteed one. This is commonly referred to as “Over-Crits”.
The best part is, each “extra crit” applies your Crit Damage multiplier again. So, instead of doing x2, you can do x4, x6, or even x8 damage depending on how high your Crit Chance goes. These multiplications stack exponentially, so if you have a build that focuses on both Crit Chance and Crit Damage, you can reach super high damage numbers.
Megabonk Over-Crit Mechanic, Explained
Over-Crits are what make Megabonk’s combat system so explosively fun. Here’s how it works:
- 100% Crit Chance: Every hit will crit once (normal critical hit).
- 101%–200% Crit Chance: Your hit crits once, and the extra percentage is the chance to crit again (double crit).
- 201%–300% Crit Chance: Your hit crits twice, and the excess is a chance for a third crit (triple crit).
- 301%–400% Crit Chance: Your hit crits three times, and the excess is a chance for a fourth crit and so on.
Each full 100% guarantees one additional crit multiplier, while the leftover percent becomes the probability of landing yet another one. For example, at 150% Crit Chance, your hit always crits once and has a 50% chance to crit a second time.
What are Mega-Crits in Megabonk?
Alongside Over-Crits, there’s another unique mechanic known as Mega-Crits. This is usually tied to special items in Megabonk, like the Giant Fork, which allows your crits to occasionally turn into Mega-Crits.
Mega-Crits apply an additional damage boost on top of your Over-Crits. Interestingly, Crit chance over 100 gives a 0.1 % chance of Mega-Crit every 10% beyond 100. That means you can land multiple critical multipliers and trigger a Mega-Crit at once. This way, you get catastrophic damage outputs.
