57 Leaf Clover Risk of Rain 2

57 Leaf Clover Risk of Rain 2

"Luck is on your side. All random effects are rolled +1 (+1 per stack) times for a favorable outcome." When any proc roll fails, it re-rolls once per Clover stack. The formula is 1 - (1 - p)^(n+1). Does not affect items already at 100% chance. Does not affect Tougher Times. Counterpart to Purity - they cancel each other out. Corrupted by Benthic Bloom (SotV void item).

How Luck Works

Effective chance = 1 - (1 - base_chance)^(clovers + 1)
p = base proc chance (as decimal). n = number of Clovers held.
Clover only triggers on failed rolls. Every time a proc item rolls and fails, the Clover re-rolls it once. If it already succeeded, the Clover does nothing. More Clovers = more re-roll chances per failure.
Works on negative-event rolls too. The Spinel Tonic's 20% affliction chance is a luck-affected roll. Clover treats "no affliction" as the favorable outcome and re-rolls for it - dropping the chance of affliction with 1 Clover.
No effect at 100% proc chance. If you have 10 Tri-Tip Daggers (100% bleed chance), the Clover never activates because the roll never fails. Stack Clovers before capping item procs, not after.
Tougher Times is explicitly excluded. Tougher Times is one of the very few items in the game that is completely unaffected by the luck stat. Neither Clover nor Purity changes its block chance.

How to Unlock - The Long Road

Complete 20 stages in a single run
1
Play normally through stages 1-5 to Sky Meadow (Stage 5).
2
At the Primordial Teleporter, choose "aligned with the planet" to loop back to Stage 1 instead of going to Commencement.
3
Repeat for a second loop through stages 6-10 (stages 6-10 = loop 1 of stages 1-5).
4
By stage 20 you will have completed The Long Road. Hidden realms do not count toward the total.
5
Drizzle difficulty is the easiest approach. Focus on movement speed items to rush stages and survive the scaling difficulty into the second loop.

Void Version - Benthic Bloom

BB
Benthic Bloom - Corrupts all 57 Leaf Clovers

Upgrades 3 (+3/stack) random items to the next rarity tier at the start of each stage. Commons become Uncommons, Uncommons become Legendaries. Picking up Benthic Bloom converts all your Clover stacks into Benthic Bloom stacks permanently. Whether this is a worthwhile trade depends heavily on your current build quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 57 Leaf Clover do in Risk of Rain 2?

57 Leaf Clover gives +1 Luck per stack. Luck causes every failed proc roll to be re-rolled one additional time per Clover. If a 10% proc item fails its roll, the Clover rolls it again. The effective chance formula is: 1 - (1 - base_chance)^(clovers + 1). It does not affect items already at 100% proc chance, and explicitly does not affect Tougher Times.

How do you unlock 57 Leaf Clover in Risk of Rain 2?

Complete The Long Road challenge by completing 20 stages in a single run. Hidden realms (Bazaar Between Time, Void Fields, etc.) do not count toward the stage total. You must loop the run by choosing "aligned with the planet" at the Primordial Teleporter on Sky Meadow rather than going to Commencement. Stages 11-20 require looping back to early environments.

How does luck work in Risk of Rain 2?

Luck is a stat tracked per player. Each 57 Leaf Clover gives +1 Luck. Each Purity gives -1 Luck. They cancel out - 3 Clovers and 3 Purity equals 0 Luck. The game re-rolls any failed proc once per point of positive Luck. Negative Luck from Purity causes any successful proc to be re-rolled for an unfavorable outcome.

Does 57 Leaf Clover affect crit chance?

Yes. Crit chance is a luck-affected random roll. With 1 Clover, a 10% crit chance becomes 19%. At 50% crit, 1 Clover brings it to 75%. However, once crit is capped at 100%, additional Clovers have no effect on crit since there are no failed rolls to re-roll.

Does 57 Leaf Clover affect Tougher Times?

No. Tougher Times is explicitly excluded from the luck system. Neither 57 Leaf Clover nor Purity affects Tougher Times block chance. This is intentional - if Clover worked on Tougher Times it would approach near-guaranteed blocks at moderate stack counts.

What is the void version of 57 Leaf Clover?

Benthic Bloom is the void item that corrupts all 57 Leaf Clovers. Instead of luck boosts, Benthic Bloom upgrades 3 random items to the next rarity tier at the start of each stage. It converts Commons to Uncommons, Uncommons to Legendaries. Picking up Benthic Bloom removes all your Clover stacks permanently for the run.
