Cavalcadence plays Mary 177: Ring of Becoming (Crypt of the NecroDancer: SYNCHRONY)

Crypt of the NecroDancer (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
SYNCHRONY DLC (Early Access) 3.7.5-b4897 (2023 Nov 14)
Cavalcadence plays Mary 177: Ring of Becoming (All Zones Mode: SYNCHRONY)
So I was playing some normal Mary runs when... the game offered her a 1-1 Ring of Becoming (cursed ring (any damage from enemies kills wearer!) that can become the Ring of Wonder (one of the best rings in the game: extra damage, armor, regen, and a few other benefits!) via Transmog/Transmute). ^.^
In general, I tend to prefer the Ring of Peace over any other Ring for Mary... but it had been a while since I'd tried for the Ring of Wonder... and the game was offering Becoming right at the beginning of the run...
So I figured, sure, the odds of encountering the Transmog Shop sometime in the first two or three Zones were probably pretty good, and a Ring of Wonder run could be pretty fun... =)
Unfortunately, however... Mary didn't encounter the Transmog Shop until VERY late in the run... so really, this ended up being more of a "Ring of Becoming run" than a "Ring of Wonder run", but... ^^;
Anyway, while there were definitely a couple of scary moments along the way... this did end up being a pretty fun run, overall. =)
So anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 1-1
0:21 Ooh, interesting... a 1-1 Ring of Becoming... could be fun to try for the Ring of Wonder... ^^
In general, I think Peace benefits Mary more than Wonder, mainly due to Peace getting rid of Red and Blue Dragons... but Wonder can definitely be useful as well! =)
