The Risk Ring is an Accessory in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Description[]
Wearing the Risk Ring will boost the player's STR and INT stats by +15, allowing them to greatly increase both their physical and magical damage outputs. However, making honor to its name, the ring will also reduce most of their defensive stats by an even greater amount, reducing both CON and MND by -30, while additionally reducing most of their attribute resistances (Slash, Thrust, Strike, Fire, Ice, Thunder, Light, Dark, Poison) by -50.
As such, wearing this ring is not recommended for standard exploration, where the player is more open to receive damage from random enemies. While at first, wearing this ring may sound way too risky due to the far greater amount of defense reductions than the increase of power it gives, it is especially useful for boss fights if the player is aiming to win their Medals, as in any case, they will attempt to not receive any damage during those encounters, and on the other hand, the increase in power will allow them to defeat bosses faster. However, given enough training/grinding, other rings that don't give such drastic penalties can eventually outclass the Risk Ring (e.g.: Traverser's Ring, Gold Power Ring, Silver Power Ring).
The Risk Ring can be considered an upgrade of the Cursed Ring, giving similar bonuses along with a number of penalties, although the former doing so at a greater scale.
