If you’re grinding through Roblox DIG and want to start clapping bosses instead of getting clapped, this guide is for you. We’re covering the best shovels, charms, totems, cupcakes, and enchantments to help you maximize your boss damage. No fluff. Just what works. Let’s dig into it.
Best Shovels for Boss Damage in DIG
When it comes to fighting bosses, damage is king. Stats like speed or utility are cool, but you’ll want raw numbers if you’re serious about boss takedowns. Here’s how the best shovels stack up—ranked strictly by damage output:
- Rock Shovel – 25 Damage
Found in the starting area. Basic but gets the job done early on. - Abyssal Shovel – 35 Damage
Dropped by King Crabs. - Candlelight Shovel – 45 Damage
Obtained from the Candy Light Phantom. - Frigid Shovel – 50 Damage
- Prismatic Shovel – 60 Damage
- Venomous Shovel – 75 Damage
- Slayer Shovel – 80 Damage
- Monstrous Shovel – 85 Damage
- Glinted Shovel – 86 Damage
Currently the top-damaging shovel in the game.
If you’re going boss hunting, Glinted or Monstrous Shovel should be your endgame goals.
Totems & Consumables (Cupcakes)
Want to boost your boss damage even more? Time to bring out the totems and cupcakes.
- Monarch Totem: +25% boss damage. A must-have if you can get it.
- Blueberry Cupcake: +10 boss damage for 4 minutes. You can stack these too.
- Jar of Peanut Butter: Grants special effects that can give you a big edge in boss fights.
Pro tip: Stack those cupcakes before a big boss. You can extend the buffs to 8 or even 12 minutes.
Best Enchantments for Bossing
Enchantments are the cherry on top of your gear setup. Here are the ones that make the most difference:
- Strong: +10% strength
- Sundering: +20% boss damage
These two enchants are essential if you want to maximize your output.
Best Charms in DIG
Charms are also worth getting as they serve as permanent boost items for various stats and abilities. We’ll be discussing which charms you should get depending on the stats you should upgrade when it comes to boss fights.
A total of 3 charm slots can be unlocked, with the first being unlocked for free, the second requiring Level 10, and the third requiring Level 25. Ideally, you’ll want all three of them unlocked for boss fights.
Endurance
Endurance boosts help you last longer in fights, and some charms even come with healing. Here are the standout picks:
- Super Regen Coil: 7%–10% endurance, gradual healing, and the most consistent of the bunch.
- Banjo Endurance: 5%–17%
- Blue Shroom Cap: 4%–17%
- Regen Coil: 2%–13%
- Rock Pounder: 4%–12%
- Tenacity Brace: 1%–12%, with a safety net that returns you to 50% endurance when you’re about to lose an item.
- War Shield: 1%–12%, with a 50% parry chance.
Top pick: Super Regen Coil — guaranteed solid endurance plus healing.
Strength
Want to hit harder? These strength-based charms are what you need.
- Imp Horns: 5%–10% strength. You lose endurance faster, but it’s a great trade if you’ve already got endurance charms.
- Blazing Gauntlet: 1%–10%
- Cauldron Hat: Increases your strength buff effectiveness by 20%.
- Energy Apparatus: 1%–11%
Best combo: Pair Imp Horns with something like the Fruit Hat (which heals endurance) to balance power and survivability.
Boss Damage
Here’s where you start hitting like a truck:
- Ninja Headband: 4%–7% boss damage + Focus stacks that boost boss damage further.
- Radioactive Horns: 12%–20% boss damage and converts some items to radioactive versions (plasma/petrified included).
Best option: Radioactive Horns for the raw stat boost.
Other Ability-Based Charms
Want more utility in boss fights? These charms help with healing, endurance, and surprise damage:
- Super Regen Coil: Heals both you and nearby teammates over time.
- Regen Coil: Heals only you, and less frequently.
- Fruit Hat: Heals endurance over time. A great pairing with Imp Horns.
- Dynamic Sash: Chance to deal 2x strength on hit.
Smart pick: Fruit Hat + Imporns for a high-damage setup that won’t burn through your endurance too fast.
Wrap Up
If you’re aiming to take down bosses faster in Roblox DIG, your setup matters. Focus on equipping the highest-damage shovels, stacking boss-specific boosts from totems, cupcakes, and enchantments, and picking charm combinations that either increase strength, endurance, or both.
Shovels like the Glinted or Monstrous are the go-to options for raw damage, while enchantments like Sundering and Strong provide noticeable boosts. For charms, mixing damage-heavy picks like Radioactive Horns with supportive options such as Super Regen Coil or Fruit Hat gives you a flexible, survivable build.
Whether you’re soloing or playing as part of a team, building around these tools will help you melt bosses with ease and grind your way to the top faster. Lastly, don’t forget to check out our beginner guide to Roblox DIG while you’re at it!
