Favorite ring combinations

[=M$= Oroberus]

Was wandering which are your favorite ring combinations (including forged ones) you run in lategame?

Right now I'm using a forged Iridium Band + Lucky Ring and Ruby Ring + Vampire Ring

I was thinking about changing the second ring into Slime Ring + Napaln Ring for Skull Cavern deep dives

[Kiara]

Iridium Band + Lucky Ring
Iridium Band + Burglar

or

Iridium Band + Lucky Ring
Iridium Band + Lucky Ring
if I'm not going for drops

The Iridium Band combines the effects of the Glow Ring, Magnet Ring, and Ruby Ring. Its effects stack with another Iridium Band, a Glow Ring, a Glowstone Ring, a Magnet Ring, or a Ruby Ring. It displays a purple band with four different gems on them, presumably Ruby, Emerald, Topaz, and Aquamarine. However, it does not have the effects of the latter three.

no point ever using ruby ring if you have access to iridium

(edit: unless you want a 20% attack ring as you cant combine 2 iridium bands together)

I use Iridium Band+Lucky Ring and Burglar's Ring+Lucky Ring. The actual effect the lucky rings have on most things is so minimal that they might as well be doing nothing at all, BUT they do make ladders/holes appear noticeably sooner in Skull Cavern and they give a 2.5% increased critical hit chance each (which is a pretty nice boost if you run Scout/Desperado, as I do).

I am of the unpopular opinion that Slime Charmer Ring is overrated. I guess it could be a good option if you struggle to avoid slime lunge attacks, but for me it's a waste of a ring slot.

Napalm ring is fun, but when I'm doing deep dives I just ignore enemies and spam the heck out of regular bombs. Could be a decent cost saving measure if you don't want to burn through 100+ bombs per run, though.

I use Iridium band + burglar and slime ring + napalm ring

I think the slimes are annoying, and I don't do a ton of mining runs later in the game, so mine are:

Iridium band + slime ring
crabshell + vampire

Combined with crusader on the galaxy/infinity sword and efficient on the iridium pickaxe, I'm good to go and feel practically invincible. I just wish the magnetic part of the iridium band had better range.

Iridium Band + Slime Charmer Ring

I do a lot of slime farming, so having the latter is pretty much essential.

Hadn't had enough ingredients for 2 iridium bands at the time (Or had more better use for them) so I went with the ruby instead at first ;)

My thoughts behind Slime Charmer + Napalm was the combined bonus of not havign to deal with the occasional chip damage slimes will do over several hundred levels of the SC and the fun effect of enemy kills blowing up stones and opening up stairs/hole

[Včelí medvídek]

Iridium + slime charm is almost a must as it negate large portion of enemies from game.

Second either iridium + napalm or iridium + crab, for Qi challenges extra defense is worthy and no need to preserve bombs so much at this stage, otherwise iridium + napalm.

[Artie]

Iridium + lucky
Burglar + lucky

I like luck :)

x, y, z, crabshell

since the addition of basalisk paw i have stopped using slime ring entirely. i switch between fairy and basalisk andjust doing this makes it kind of pointless IMO since the fairy heals the dmg and the basalisk prevents the slow

napalm is good tho ya

[kingjames488]

I mean, the exact combinations don't really matter in any way...

I always use an iridium band and usually vamperic/burgler/lucky if/when I get them

when I did a combat focused run with a crit build I used the ring that increased crit chance.

[WonderfooleWINO]

I run Iridium Band + Lucky Ring at all times, when it finally becomes available of course. The other ring is usually a combo of Slime Charmer and whatever is relevant to what I'm doing at the time. I like to keep my "main ring" and swap out my "utility ring" as needed.

Early game is the glowstone ring, swapped out later for Iridium band, and whatever my best other ring at the time is. Prioritizing obtaining the slime charmer and burglar rings ASAP.

Somewhat relevant; A ring combination using the Immunity band while wearing Cinderclown shoes or Mermaid boots is also quite useful for combat.
