While small, rings have a massive influence on the way you play, even if it is just a small increase in stamina or FP regeneration. You can find them throughout all stages of the game, and they have their respective upgrades, either by upgrading them directly or by just finding them in the world. This article will cover ten of the best rings in Dark Souls 3.

10. Dusk Crown Ring

When you’re trying to establish a solid magic build, you’re going to want as much FP as you can get your hands on. Some spells consume a very large amount of FP too quickly, so having your spells consume less FP is quite helpful in the middle of battle, even at the cost of some HP.

Effects:

Reduces the consumption of FP by Pyromancies, Miracles, and Sorceries by 25%
Reduces HP by 15%

9. Covetous Silver Serpent Ring

8. Sage Ring

The Carthus Bloodring is an excellent choice when you want to improve your dodge rolls, as they are a fundamental part of the game and those extra milliseconds can be a huge help during fights and boss battles. The ring does come at a cost though, as it lowers your Absorption by 30%, so you better make those dodges count!

Lowers Absorption by 30%

5. Flynn’s Ring

How to get Flynn’s Ring

Flynn’s Ring is one of those items that fit a handful of very specific situations, as incorporating it into any build can be difficult, due to the relation between the ring and weight. The less weight you carry, the higher your damage, up to 15%. It is great on low-weight builds that prefer to run around naked for challenge runs.

Effects:

Lowering equip load increases AR up to 15%

4. Hornet Ring

Some builds prefer to use quicker weapons with a high critical value to really pack a punch against bosses. The critical strikes can’t be influenced easily, so this is where the Hornet Ring comes in. It primarily increases critical damage by a flat percentage and changes the motion values of certain ripostes and backstabs.

Effects:

Increases critical damage by 30%

3. Hawk Ring
