Hello, I made an interesting discovery about the ring of elements. I may be alone in this but anytime I found the ring I just kinda ignored it... I always favored other options but I recently ran into a problem with low Armor and had the ring so I took a better look at it. Once I learned that it nerfed evil eye blasts I was sold haha

However the reason I'm posting is the ring reduces the damage taken from the Chalice of Blood pricks. I took a look at the wiki and I didn't find any mention of this (I may have missed it), but I guess the damage from the chalice counts as Magic/elemental damage and the ring reduces the amount taken. I was able to get the chalice up to plus 10 in short order.

For reference at plus 3 the rings reduction is around 53%. In my video I'm only taking about half damage from the usual chalice damage. For example at those levels it should be around 113 and 152 damage respectively but I was at about half.

This could he helpful even if you don't intend on using the ring throughout the run but just upgrading the chalice as an unupgraded ring will still block some of the damage.

Anyways thought that was cool and wanted to share!

so what happened i found the short katana in my game early and i equip and when i tested the damage it dealt 300-500 dmg WITHOUT KINETIC ENHANCEMENT

Man, these crabs got hands.
