Jump to a Ranking

Enchantments in the A Tier are no slouch, and have the potential to significantly improve a Build which needs an extra boost.

When one of these Enchantments appears, consider if it might be the keystone your characters need; that said, they're not quite useful enough to necessitate changing around your whole Build to match them.

Jump to a Ranking

The B Tier Enchantments are still fairly usable, but there are other Enchantments which provide similar effects with better results.

List of C Tier Enchantments

Jump to a Ranking

The Enchantments in the C Tier are not unusable, but as Enchantment Points are a scarce resource, and choosing an Enchantment will lock that Weapon or Armor into its effect, you might want to think twice before using one of these.
