Brimstone rings
What changes
Charging and releasing sends a ring through the room. The wider Brimstone edge changes the area the attack can cover.
How to approach the setup
Test the ring's path before entering a crowded fight. Aim across an enemy's movement lane rather than chasing it with your character.
A practical suggestion for this pair. Check the rest of your inventory and the room before relying on it.
The caution to remember
A third weapon can change the result again. Haemolacria with these two items takes priority over the Tech X ring attack.
What this teaches about a run
Weapon combinations can create a new attack shape. Compare where it hits before treating it as a simple damage upgrade.
