**Ring of Frost** is a magical artifact in Remixed Dungeon. When worn, it provides a protective frost aura that slows and damages enemies that attack the wearer.

==== Description ====
This ring is carved from magical ice. Its wearer is protected by a frost aura, slowing and damaging the attacking enemies. When an enemy within 1 tile distance attacks the wearer, there's a chance that they will be affected by frost and slowed.

==== Stats ====
  * **Type:** Ring (Artifact)
  * **Slot:** Ring (requires Keyring to carry multiple rings)
  * **Upgradeable:** Yes
  * **Upgrade Cost:** Increases with level

==== Effects ====
When worn and activated, the ring triggers the following effects when an enemy attacks you:
  * **Slow Effect:** Applies Slow effect for (Slow.duration(enemy) / 5 + ring level) turns
  * **Frost Chance:** Has (10% + ring level)% chance to apply Frost effect for (Frost.duration(enemy) / 5 + ring level) turns
  * **Damage:** Deals (ring level / 2) damage to the attacking enemy
  * **Range:** Only works when enemy is within 1 tile distance of wearer

==== Acquisition ====
  * Found in various chests throughout dungeon levels
  * Dropped by certain challenging monsters
  * Available for purchase from the [[en:rpd:shopkeeper_npc|Shopkeeper]] in deeper levels

==== Usage Tips ====
  * Particularly effective against melee enemies that attack you directly
  * Works well in narrow corridors where enemies must come into close range
  * Combines well with other defensive equipment to maximize survivability
  * Higher-level rings provide significantly better effects

==== Strategy ====
The Ring of Frost is highly beneficial for characters who engage enemies directly. It provides a passive defense that turns enemy aggression against them, making it especially valuable in the mid to late game when enemies are stronger and more dangerous.
