Best Offensive Melee Enchantments

Rampaging

Rampaging

This Enchantment by itself is a pretty good and can increase the damage output of any kind of weapon.

What makes it even better is that with increased attack speed, it can activate your other chance-based Enchantments more often. It can even activate itself!

Rampaging Info and Effects by Tier

Critical Hit

Critical Hit

This Enchantment is good on most weapons, but shines the brightest on fast attack speed weapons.

The faster the attacks, the greater the chances of getting critical hits! Enigma Resonator is very similar, but needs a Soul Build.

Critical Hit Info and Effects by Tier

Swirling

Swirling

This will give you a good Area of Effect attack that damages all nearby mobs in all directions.

This is useful in a lot of situations and is good for boosting both slow weapons that don't have much of a combo, and fast weapons that will trigger it often!

Swirling Info and Effects by Tier

Committed

Committed
This Enchantment can double your damage at the max tier level just by having hit an enemy once.

This is a powerful Enchantment most effective against strong enemies like bosses and Redstone Golems!

Committed Info and Effects by Tier

Best Support Melee Enchantments

Weakening

Weakening
If you don't have any good Armor, a good choice will be weakening the attack of your enemies!

This Enchantment does exactly that, making it a strong and faithful companion while you hunt for Unique Armors.

Weakening Info and Effects by Tier

Freezing

Freezing
Freezing is a great defensive Enchantment that can decrease the enemy's damage output per second.

This will allow you to get more attacks in, while not having to worry as much about your health.

Freezing Info and Effects by Tier

Radiance

Radiance
Pick this Enchantment up if you feel like you need more healing. It heals a lot, and it's even better when playing with friends!

It's most effective when used on a high attack speed weapon.

Best Offensive Ranged Enchantments

Piercing

Piercing (1).png

This Enchantment allows you to deal more damage with a single arrow. Great for groups of mobs!

At level 3 it also becomes guaranteed to activate, making it incredibly reliable. But wait, there's more!

The best thing about Piercing is that it keeps any other Enchantment effects, even after hitting the enemy first in line. So if for example you have Chain Reaction as well, all impacts down the enemy line have a chance of bursting into 5 shots. Yikes!

Piercing Info and Effects by Tier

Supercharge

Supercharge (1).png

This is a great, all-round Enchantment. It increases the max damage you can do with your bow and even has an added effect of increasing the Knockback on your attacks!

Best Support Ranged Enchantments

Infinity

Infinity (1).png

This is Enchantment is a must-have for every ranged build. It will let you fire away without having to worry about running out of Ammo.

Those days of Arrow-pinching are gone, friend!

Infinity Info and Effects by Tier

Tempo Theft

Tempo Theft (1).jpg

This is a great Enchantment against bosses and mini-bosses. Not only do you slow them down, you also gain movement speed.

A must-have for hit and run strategy.

Food Reserves Info and Effects by Tier

Cool Down

Cool Down (1).png

This is great when you have an Artifact that you rely on. At the max level, it can reduce the cooldown by 27% percent. That is more than 1/4 of the wait time removed!

Cool Down Info and Effects by Tier

Best Defensive Armor Enchantments

Protection

Protection (1).jpg

This is a really simple, yet very effective Enchantment. It doesn't do anything fancy, but will reliably lower the damage you take, great for Survivability.

Protection Info and Effects by Tier

Deflect

Deflect (1).png

This is one of the best Enchantments to have in the later missions, with hordes of ranged enemies that can deal a lot of damage to you.

Not only does this Enchantment negate damage, it can also reflect it back to the enemies. One stone, two birds, and it's not even your stone!

Deflect Info and Effects by Tier

Chilling

Chilling (1).jpg

If you are the up-close-and-personal type of frontline fighter, you need this Enchantment. It will decrease the DPS of all mobs nearby you!

This effect is very strong strong and can keep you alive even if you are surrounded by a bunch of mobs.

Question: Would the deflected arrow ricochet if you have that enchantment on your bow? Thank you for answering.
