๐ก Tips & Strategies
Pro Tip: Equip the Yoba Ring for risky Skull Cavern runs — it can prevent a knockout when surrounded by enemies.
- Best used in high-damage areas such as Skull Cavern or Volcano Dungeon
- Stacks well with other rings (like Warrior Ring or Iridium Band) for hybrid offense/defense builds
- Since activation is chance-based, do not rely solely on it for survival
- The invincibility period gives you time to eat healing food or reposition safely
