Helical Ring: Reflecting Mist Mechanics and Minmaxing Strategies

Reflecting Mist in helical rings can significantly enhance character stats, outclassing other rings in Path of Exile.

### Helical Rings with Reflecting Mist: The New Meta for Min-Maxing Character Stats
* 💍  Helical rings crafted with reflecting Mist have become a game-changer for character optimization, especially for **attribute stacking builds**.
* 🔄  Reflecting Mist mechanics involve randomly flipping positive and negative values on a ring, with a range of **1.5 to 2.1 multipliers**.
* 🎚️  The potential power of reflecting Mist is demonstrated by the example of an int stacking ring, where swapping it with a helical ring resulted in a **300 int loss** due to the **mist-reflected ring's superior stats**.
* 📈  Helical rings are expected to compete with mirror-tier rings, especially when **high-rolling the 2x multiplier** to **maximize beneficial stats**.
* 🔮  The reflecting Mist process can be controlled to some extent by selecting which stats are critical (e.g., **int and all attributes**) and which can be negative without impacting the build.
* 💰  The cost of using reflecting Mist can be offset by a vendor recipe that allows players to **recycle bricked rings**, creating a **self-sustaining cycle** for further attempts.
* 🛡️  While helical rings are particularly effective for **attribute stacking builds**, synth charge stacking rings may still have a place for **other build types**.
* 🎮  The same reflecting Mist mechanics apply to amulets and other ring bases, offering potential for **significant power boosts** across various character builds.

hello and welcome X. I want to talk about the next level of ring. The way you're going to minmax your characters going forward, given that reflecting mist is now a core part of the game. I'll give you an example real quick. This is an inst stacking ring. It has T1 intelligence. It has T1 all attribute. It has synthesized percent intelligence. And currently I'm wearing a helical ring that I reflected with mist. Now let's see what happens when I put on this int ring. I currently have 2165 intelligence. But I swap this inst stacking ring with a helical ring I made, and I lose 300 intelligence. Now why is that? Because reflecting mist is insane. Now if you look at this helical ring, it has two positive stats: int and all attributes. And those two stats outweigh the value of the percent in synth, along with the flat attributes this ring has, which is the that's the most int you can really get on there. You can't get more on there. And it beats it by a clean 300 in. Now granted, it's 150 in per ring this.

is reflected. So just keep in mind, this is happening twice when you swap these out. But hopefully, it's a pretty clear picture of the power level we're talking about here. I believe helical rings, when crafted just to an average level, being if you get two stats to match for a stat stacker, strength deck in TR stacker, whatever it is, that will be your basic synth ring with a percent in percent strength, whatever it is. Quite frankly, I think it's going to come close to competing with mirror tier rings. And I'll go a step further. If you hit the perfect helical Mist reflection one where you make all the ideal mods go positive, you will probably be better off than the mere tier level of rings. Now, there is an exception for this. If your build is a charge stacker, I believe synth charge stacking rings will still have a place in this game. But as for attribute stacking or other valuable stat stacking of like crit multi Casp, those sorts of things, helical rings or other high space rings with reflecting

Mists are going to just outclass them. Now, let's go ahead and talk about reflecting mist and some of the mechanics. Reflecting mist is a resource that you get. It's pretty rare. I've found probably about 10 reflecting Mist every single time I've just gotten the Rings. The ring reflection option but sometimes when you find that you click on you click reflect and it will drop you a Mist. Now what does this do when I click this on this ring. It is going to do a basically positive negative positive negative positive negative. It's going to choose whether or not the stat goes negative or whether or not the stat goes positive and it gives you back both sides of the ring. So I'm going to right-click this left click this and I will get back a ring that has randomly flipped negative or positive values. Now when you're doing something like this you can increase your odds to have a good outcome and why what do I mean by that when you have a ring that has all good stats and two of the good stats go

negative that those two stats that go negative cancel out some of the positive stats you have. So in the grand scheme of things, if you're Min-maxing, yes, you're going to you're going to like do H Coral lock and you're going to check a bunch of rings until you get the perfect thing where all the stats go positive, which is the you know the best in slot, the god tier ring. But if you're like me or you're just starting out and you're trying to get a pretty good ring to upgrade from your synth ring or upgrade from your rare ring you bought off trade, you might just want two stats to go positive and it will still will be a massive upgrade. So if you look at this ring right here, I've I've set this up. I have two stats I care about. I care about int and I care about all attributes, whereas minus or minimum endurance charge and aspect of the spider I care about those stats but if they go negative, they do not detriment the value of the ring. For example, on this ring

here you'll notice I have negative minimum endurance charge. If I put this on my character, it does prevent me from stacking minimum endurance charges, but it doesn't hurt me if I wasn't stacking those to begin with. I can still go and have endurance charge on kill or have some sort of endurance charge generation, and that won't hurt me. So it went negative, and that was okay, but on the flip side, if it went positive with the attributes, it would be a nice upside. So it adds value without detracting from the Ring's outcome when it goes negative. So I'm leveraging my chance for success here because I only have two stats I care about going positive or negative. I have a very high chance of success. It's like a 50% chance 'cause that's the odd that the attributes are going to match in terms of be going the same direction. Now doing this, I have a very bricked base. I have three Evasion, for example. If you've been crafting helical, you know they made it so helical can no longer

get cleaned from their fracture, but don't worry, that's not necessarily that bad of a thing because you can buy a bad fracture like this and be okay with the fact. If that free evasion goes negative, I'm not really going to care. Now let's go ahead and show you what this looks like when you actually click reflect on the ring. We got a ring that says plus 40 all attribute minus 180 in so. Unfortunately, I lost my 50/50. This ring will not end up being valuable to me. You see right here, this is the opposite side of it. You get both sides of the thing on both of these. You will notice the aspect of the spider is the same. You get aspect regardless of which side it's on, so that stat doesn't change. And you may notice that there's only plus one minimum endurance charge. Even though I about doubled my stat here, I only got plus one of minimum endurance charge. This will bring me to my next point, which is reflecting Mist varies in range as far as I know from what I've been

told, and what I've experimented with so far. They have a range of a multiplier of 1.5 to 2.1, and it's just RNG whether or not you hit that. Now, the fun thing about Helical is you can hit the 2x multiplier, and you don't go to one minimum endurance charge, you go to three. So, if you really high roll the multiplier, for example, if this ring had hit the positive int with the attributes instead of the positive evasion, this ring would have been monstrously good for my character, having almost 250 in on one ring on top of stacking my endurance charges all the way to a minimum of six, where I could invest in the max endurance charge, and I would still be capped. That would have been insane, but as far as I can tell, it's completely contingent on hitting the 2x multiplier, at the very least, because even though I have 50% effect on this ring, and I multiplied it by, you know, another 70% value or whatever, however the

calculation is done underneath the code. It doesn't allow you to hit two minimum endurance charges from what I can tell. You either hit three if you high roll or oh yo Steve's still going gigachad best name I've seen far none in the past year of people naming characters need for Steve underground anyways. As I was saying, as far as I can tell, you need to hit at least a 2X multiplier to get the outcome where the minimum charge goes to three. Just a little side note of how the multipliers work, they roll from 1.5 to two. And now if you're thinking dang it Lance, you just did this and you just lost a reflecting Mist that's worth a Divine and you killed your base. You have two bases that are bricked now, that's just minus a lot of money. This seems expensive Lance, how can you afford to do this? Well, there is a vendor recipe that works really well with this. Now the vendor recipe, you can't use rings with the same name because these are

reflected of each other. I can't use them together, but you'll notice I have four other bricked Rings here where I didn't succeed on the reflection. And what I can do is I can go over here, I can sell them to the vendor 5 to one, and I get back a clean helical base. This is an item level 84 base because in here I have an item level 84. It will go to the lowest level um item you have in here. So typically if you have a really bricked item level and you don't want to repeat that, don't don't use that in your 5 to 1 recipe. But you'll notice we get a clean base here. I'm going to click sell. I have now this clean base here, which is rare, and it is not split. So I can go back to the helical. I can back to the nerie. I can pretend this never happened where I never bricked the fracture to begin with. I never had anything go wrong and uh no matching recipes.

because I don't have any rare Beast. Well, regardless, what I was going to show you is you go back and split this ring. Now if you are a fan of doing math, you can only do this one. You can't do this one because it can't have six mods. You can split it into two. If you're a fan of doing math and you're running the numbers a little bit every time you do this, say you have five attempts where you um basically mirror the item. You get back and mirrored copies. Maybe one of those is usable, and the other nine is bad. That's okay because you can recuperate. Because what I can do is now for every time I split the ring, I get two rings. Two attempts to do the reflecting Miss every time I miss that becomes four rings total. So you it's almost a self-sustaining cycle because for every single unsplit helical base, you can create four mirrored copies as an outcome. And that's four out of five that you need to do the 5 to one recipe.

so it kind of can cycle itself around even though you may not have um the finances to go buy extra bases. The initial bases you buy will pay towards getting your next set of attempts on the reflecting Miss, so it saves you a lot of cost in case you get unlucky, in case you miss some of the outcomes, and hopefully this gives you a good idea of how to improve your character. This reflecting Mist has the same Mechanics for amulets. People are going to do them with Simplex, think people are doing them with Focus amulets, etc., and it might give you some ideas of how to really, really pump your power level up and really just go ham. These rings are insane. Again, the Showcase here is I'm an inst stacker. The difference between a synth inst stack ring and this ring is 300 in when it's copied between the two rings. Very high value and it can get higher, especially if you start rolling other additional mods, positives, and that's pretty much it. Hope you guys enjoy this video about the

helical ring and the reflecting mist, and what you can do with it. There's a lot of other applications on other ring bases. I'd say good luck to you out there, and uh, hopefully this gives you something cool to make for your own build. As always, thanks for watching Exiles, take care and peace out, have a good one.

The Impact of Reflecting Mist on Ring Minmaxing in the Game

Reflecting Mist has become a core part of the game, significantly impacting ring choices for character minmaxing.

Helical rings, especially when crafted to match stats for stacking, are likely to compete with and even outclass mirror tier rings, particularly with ideal mist reflections.

Reflecting Mist is a rare resource that, when used, randomly flips the negative or positive values of ring stats, but players can increase their odds of getting a favorable outcome by starting with a ring that already has mostly positive stats.

Players can aim for the "god tier" ring with all positive stats, but for beginners or those not min-maxing, having just two positive stats can still be a significant upgrade.

Aiming for a high chance of success by caring about only a few specific stats can be a successful strategy.

Being okay with negative stats that don't affect the player's build can increase the chances of a valuable outcome when crafting.

The Impact of Multipliers on Endurance Charges in Path of Exile

1, with a chance to increase endurance charges.

Hitting a 2x multiplier can significantly boost endurance charges, but the outcome is random, making it a high-risk, high-reward strategy.

Despite the potential cost of the process, there is a vendor recipe that can offset the expenses.

Replicating and Splitting Rings in the Game

The speaker demonstrates how to replicate and split rings in the game using a 5-to-1 recipe.

The process allows for the creation of mirrored copies, potentially resulting in a self-sustaining cycle.

By using the lowest-level item in the recipe, a clean base can be obtained, avoiding the repetition of a bricked item level.

Maximizing Power Levels with Reflecting Mist and Helical Rings

Reflecting Mist and Helical Rings can significantly improve your character's power level in the game.

These items have the same mechanics for amulets and offer the potential to greatly increase your power.

The difference in value between a synth inst stack ring and the helical ring is very high, and it can be further increased with additional mods.
