Beefy Ring turns bulk into raw power: the higher your Max HP, the more damage you deal. It’s available by default and is a staple in HP-stacking or “tank” styles.

How Beefy Ring Works
Damage Scaling
For every 100 points of Max HP you have, your damage increases by +20%. Example: at 500 Max HP, your total damage bonus from Beefy Ring is +100%. This bonus is multiplicative with the ring’s own scaling and updates as your Max HP changes (e.g., via items or level-up HP gains).
v1.0.17 Fix
Patch v1.0.17 corrected an issue where level-up Max HP didn’t correctly show/apply with Beefy Ring. As of this patch, leveling HP is properly reflected in both stats and Beefy Ring’s scaling.
Strategy & Synergies
Who wants it?
Beefy Ring shines on builds that naturally grow Max HP and survive in melee ranges. Consider characters with strong sustain such as Megachad or Athena, and pair with gear that increases Max HP.
Good partners
- Leeching Crystal – adds Max HP (with regen tradeoffs), helping you cross higher 100-HP thresholds faster. See its dedicated page: Leeching Crystal guide.
- Blood-leaning weapons – builds that already invest in HP/close-range, e.g. Blood Magic, benefit from turning that bulk into damage.
- General sustain – healing sources keep you alive while you stack HP and exploit the ring’s scaling.
Play tips
- Prioritize Max HP boosts early to accelerate Beefy Ring breakpoints (200, 300, 400…).
- Don’t neglect survivability—more HP enables more damage, but you still need healing/mitigation to stay in the fight.
- Combine with builds from the Builds hub that already value HP and frontline control.
