==Trap setups==
 
The maximum power bonus historically attainable was 88%, achieved by pairing the event-only [[Birthday Party Piñata Bonanza]] (35%) with either the [[Tiki Base|Tiki]] or [[Tribal Base]] (18%) and an [[Ultimate Power Charm]] (20%), and while hunting in the [[Festive Snow Fort]] with a 15% bonus from the [[Snow Cannon]]. Without relying on limited edition components or events, the highest power bonus possible is 60%, using the [[Chrome MonstroBot]] (22%), the [[Tiki Base]] (18%), and an [[Ultimate Power Charm]] (20%). However, please note that while these setups yield the highest power bonuses in the game, they do not always provide the highest possible [[power]].  It is also possible to use the [[Tower Amplifier]] to increase power by up to another 75%, although this is generally only useful with [[Tactical]] traps, or when using [[Physical]] traps to hunt the [[M400]] Mouse.
 
 
The following items offer an additional Power Bonus when used in combinations or in correct locations:
 
* [[Seasonal Base]] adds 18% Power Bonus when used in the [[Seasonal Garden]] location
 
* [[Spellbook Base]] adds 8% Power Bonus when paired with [[Spellbook Charm]]
 
* [[Glacier Gatler]] adds 20% Power Bonus when paired with [[Snowball Charm]]
 
* [[Ice Blaster]] adds 10% Power Bonus when paired with [[Snowball Charm]]
 
* [[Wrapped Gift Trap]] adds 10% Power Bonus when used in [[Festive Snow Fort]] and [[MegaBuy Mart]] event locations
 
* [[Derr Power Charm]] adds 5% Power Bonus when used in the [[Derr Dunes]] location
 
* [[Dreaded Charm]] adds 300% Power Bonus in the [[Jungle of Dread]] location
 
* [[Elub Power Charm]] adds 5% Power Bonus when used in the [[Elub Shore]] location
 
* [[EMP400 Charm]] adds an unspecified bonus against [[M400]] mice
 
* [[Flamebane Charm]] adds 150% Power Bonus when used in the [[Fiery Warpath]] location
 
* [[Growth Charm]] adds 3% Power Bonus when paired with [[Soiled Base]]
 
* [[Mining Charm]] adds 30% Power Bonus against [[Digby Dirt Dwellers]]
 
* [[Nerg Power Charm]] adds 5% Power Bonus when used in the [[Nerg Plains]] location
 
* [[Rook Crumble Charm]] adds 300% Power Bonus against [[Mystic Rook]] and [[Technic Rook]]
 
* [[Super Warpath Archer Charm]] adds 50% Power Bonus against the Archer sub-group of [[The Marching Flame]]
 
* [[Super Warpath Scout Charm]] adds 50% Power Bonus against the Scout sub-group of [[The Marching Flame]]
 
* [[Super Warpath Warrior Charm]] adds 50% Power Bonus against the Warrior sub-group of [[The Marching Flame]]
 
* [[Wild Growth Charm]] adds 8% Power Bonus when paired with [[Soiled Base]]
 
 
The [[Physical Brace Base]] adds a 25% Power boost when paired with a [[Physical]] weapon, although this boost is computed more like the [[Tower Amplifier]] rather than a Power Bonus (for example, [[Physical Brace Base]], [[Tacky Glue Trap]], and [[Mobile Charm]] provide 370 Power and 5% Power Bonus; this is then scaled by 25% from 389 to 486, whereas 370 Power and 30% Power Bonus would be 481).

"The power bonus of both weapon and base are added together and then applied to the total power of the trap, increasing its power."

The power bonus attribute on certain bases, weapons, charms, and cheese increases the power of a trap. The power bonus from the components are first added together, and is then applied to the combined power of a trap. Fractional power is rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Using the Swiss Army Mouse Trap, Stone Base, and Power Charm as an example:

Component Power Power Bonus
Swiss Army Mouse Trap 1,200 2%
Stone Base 150 10%
Power Charm 120 1%
Total 1,470 13%
Total Power: 1,470 * 113% = 1,662
