A Ring of Thorns is a ring in Remixed Dungeon that provides defensive benefits by damaging enemies when they attack the wearer.

The Ring of Thorns has a passive effect that activates when the wearer takes damage from a melee attack:

• Thorns Damage: When the wearer is hit by a melee attack, the attacker takes damage equal to a percentage of the damage dealt
• Damage Return: The percentage of damage returned increases with ring level
• Melee Only: Only triggers on melee attacks, not ranged or magical attacks

• Rarity: Rare
• Weight: 2
• Durability: Permanent
• Slot: Accessory (Ring slot)
• Curses: Can be cursed, turning the effect against the wearer

• Passive Effect: Works automatically when equipped
• Scaling: Damage return percentage increases with ring level (+1)
• Thorns Damage: When hit by a melee attack, attacker takes percentage of damage back
• Curse Reverse: If cursed, the wearer takes the returned damage instead

• Effective for close combat heroes who take regular melee damage
• Particularly useful against single powerful enemies when fighting in melee
• Less effective against ranged enemies or magic users
• More effective at higher levels when the ring is upgraded
• Consider the risk vs. benefit against enemies with dangerous attacks
• Good for defensive builds that expect to take damage

• Found as random drops in dungeon levels
• Available in shops (less common)
• Sometimes found in special treasure rooms
• Dropped by certain enemies
