7 On And Off
In terms of intelligence, Megumin could be considered unrivaled within her party, as her intelligence stats are the highest. However, with her delusional tendencies, Megumin’s intelligence is sometimes hindered by her own actions.

6 What Elasticity!
Megumin is not the bustiest of the female KonoSuba characters. However, the same cannot be said for her former classmate Yun Yun. In school, Megumin often bullied Yun Yun, and the duo shared a sense of rivalry.

3 After Coming To A Realization

When Megumin casts Explosion using all she has, she promptly becomes useless after using the spell as she becomes drained. Coupled with the fact that she only upgrades her explosion output and nothing else, she becomes a liability to the team after one round of a massive explosion.
