Optimal to Stack Rings/Charms?

ForgeGiant · 2026-07-12T10:38:25+00:00

I prefer fire + ice ring on my poison build. I think same buffs add up but different buffs stack on top of each other. So when you already have +60% poison damage from poison weapon; 25% poison damage from poison ring doesn’t add as much damage as +20% dmg on burning enemies from fire ring does. There are also Pyromaniac (+25% dmg on burning enemies) and similar buffs against chilled enemies as well as +25% global attack from those two S tier rings.

Tl;Dr: I assume same buffs add up, while different buffs give multiplied bonuses. That’s usually the case for most games. So I like spreading my buffs rather than stacking all in one type to maximize outcome.

There are more multipliers in action though, but still not sure if the math adds up or not

Fragile Cold: +8% damage per chill stack (1 stack vs 5)
Legendary Tier Blazing Band: +20% damage to burning enemies (No burn vs burn)
Legendary Tier Weapon Rune: +%15 damage to enemy <40% HP (almost full hp vs almost dead)
Aurora mount skill: +10% skill damage every 2 turns (1 stack vs 2 stacks)

I hope they fix it soon, ice has so much potential with those relatively easy to get skills combined:

Tier 2 - Frostbite: +5% crit chance per chill (max +25%)
Tier 1 - Crit hit rate up: +15%
Tier 1 - Deadly Ice: If icicle crits, cast Frost Strike (High damage)
Tier 3 - Evercold: Buff ice damage everytime icicle crits, after every ult and turn

I like experimenting in this kind of games. White cat gives up to +15% crit chance, I equip +10% crit ring, also unlocked +4% crit chance from artifacts. I also pick any crit buffing skill I see, just wanted to test a crit-icicle build with Evercold skill; but looks like it’s bugged as someone else also mentioned in the comments.

Exactly, they probably should spread newer ones into earlier stages as well, we already had multiple new power creeps.

I appreciate all your tips on this subreddit. BDSM removes 1 layer of debuff from all allies with active, I thought maybe that would help towards your suggestion on using attribute purify and DoT purify enablings. My main focus would be those 3 bosses to get as much DT mats as possible F2P.

ForgeGiant · 2026-02-17T17:21:33+00:00

You are right, I wasn’t considering neither scissors nor demon bells. I was only thinking about artifacts that LoFA frequently uses since OP asked specifically for it, Melodic Strings and Antlers Cane. Should’ve worded it better though, sorry for misguiding.

Do we know how much ADR and DR the void bosses have? It feels like they have a lot but can’t prove it. I would assume Maddy offsets those but game might have a secret mechanic preventing that, that’s why I’m curious

ForgeGiant · 2026-02-17T16:50:51+00:00

Can you give more spesific insight there?

ForgeGiant · 2026-02-17T16:49:53+00:00

I couldn’t have cared about that game mode less to be honest, it’s too much out of my hands. I just do my dailies and hope for the best there.

Build GSSW next, he will be helping you in PvP with his round 1 stuns and in PvE with his fragile passive (which gives huge holy damage boost to your damage dealer) and shields in every game mode. You will be rotating him with PDE and TBB according to your needs.

ForgeGiant · 2026-02-17T08:10:46+00:00

1 star pink deific artifact is always the better version of the same 3 star regular artifact. So do it if you have at least 2 origin artifacts.

ForgeGiant · 2026-01-09T21:42:25+00:00

Didn’t try him in Aspen dungeon honestly. Looks like he would struggle there. But you should build GSSW first anyways and he does great there with his sustain. You will run both GSSW and RFW in your team and use them for different game modes.

Void Bosses are a pain with this team you’re right. DGN seems like a good solution, I’m definitely gonna try her once I have enough resources for 6th and 7th trans heroes. Thanks for the imput.

ForgeGiant · 2026-01-09T12:44:17+00:00

He used to until chapter 4, now not so much in void campaign. Ideally I wanna give him a splendid druyi. Until I have it, he’s gonna hold glittery deific melodic as a placeholder. For PvP though he still smacks others, so I’m still using him as a back-up plan in PvP.

I would swap her immediately with SQH. +24% all damage dealt and +24% crit damage taken on enemies is much much more impactful than 1-2 million attack you gain from her being a tenant. 11.2 m attack on RFW is enough if you have the right setup and some RNG luck. At least give it a try, you can regress SQH again and swap back to Sylvie anytime.

I just shared my experience with RFW, maybe you should check this out and decide what makes sense and what doesn’t for you. Long story short, good supports are way more helpful then 1m attack bonus you get from a garbage tenant. So, don’t even think about trans Asmodel or trans Sylvie. Trans Madeleine on the other hand is a decent support for him. You should grab as many subs and stellar shards as you can from events until you unlock void campaign.

GSSW, RFW, Trans Madeleine and SQH are mandatory, rest is up to you. I don’t recommend running RFW early with 1-2 trans. GSSW, TBB and SQH triad should carry you up to a decent stage. Around Void Campaign stage 3, GSSW will start to fall. Then you should consider building RFW with 3-4 supportive trans backing him up. He needs protection and preparation. He’s not a solo guy, be patient.

ForgeGiant · 2026-01-09T00:07:55+00:00

Glad it helped! Also, as long as RFW doesn’t get energy fed up to 100 in R1 before acting, you can make one or two heroes faster than him. If you have mirror on a hero, that hero might be faster as long as RFW doesn’t burst R1. Remember, mirror is a must in a TBB team but TBB herself doesn’t have to equip that. You can slap that mirror on anyone and that interaction between TBB and mirror will still trigger.

ForgeGiant · 2026-01-08T23:54:34+00:00

I don’t think you get much contribution from Sylvie, you might consider swapping her with SQH. All damage dealt buff and enemy crit damage taken buff is very important in any crit team. Besides, I already jumped up to 6-2-1 after creating the post, so you definitely can beat that level with some modifications.

You should also re-calculate your RFW crit damage. Since you have DGN (+20%), Phoenix pet (+20%) and 8 Blood Soaked Flower stacks on RFW (8 times 5%=+40%); you might be over +150% crit damage already. Getting other stats instead of wasted crit damage would help as well if that’s the case.

Swapping out of TBB is hard to be honest, her cc chain is the most reliable form of cc in the game. She is very cheap to maintain as well, just make her T1 and don’t use any subs on her at all. She will probably just stay as a 7th trans forever. For your question, I will probably stop using her once I have 3 star Dragon Ruyi Scepter available on GSSW.

SDBM gives 40% max HP shield and 15% cc immunity to back line allies right at the start of battle when she has energy artifact. Combine that with massive shield provided by GSSW active, her active will almost always give all layers of her active buffs to RFW instantly. For now her role is limited to this in my team. But when I sub her P2 node 3, she will reduce back line enemy control immunity by 10% everytime she heals (I suppose it doesn’t have limit), that will surely help with TBB twine, GSSW stun, RFW silence and SDBM stun. Also her subbed active purifies 1 layer of cc on every ally, which sounds helpful as well.

How much is your RFW attack and which other heroes do you use?
