Upgrade vs Enchant

[Hurricane]

Hi im not sure exactly what does enchant do, upgrade is simple, but enchant? Is it something like -10% cooldown etc etc 10% more crit damage which i sometimes see on weapons? Also is it even worth enchanting if im going to collab that weapon?

Yeah those blue modifiers are enchantments.
Yes it's worth enchanting things you're going to collab because the collab item gets the enchantments from both items.

Alright thanks ^^

Just a bit of addition

Don't enchant if you are low on exp upgrades and/or not getting exp items. Having a complete build does a lot more for your build than enchants do.

Generally this advice can be ignored as you progress through the game, of course.

To make sure I'm not missing something vital: Can you "enchant" a weapon after picking it up? If so, I haven't found the way to do it yet. I can only wait and hope to be offered a weapon that is already enchanted as a level-up choice.

Yes, the regular anvils let you enchant a weapon, or reroll its enchantment.

You can enchant a weapon after picking it up. You can also re-roll enchants with the anvils. It costs 250 coins at an anvil to enchant.

I try to get both weapon to have a certain enchant before doing a collab. Since collabs can inherit both enchants at the same time.

You need to buy the Enchantment upgrade in the shop. You can then enchant weapons via anvil, it's below the regular improvement button.

Cheers for the replies, guys. I've since seen it in a stream, so I've found out how to enchant. But thank you, anyway.

Neat, didnt even know about this, I always assumed the enchantments remained the same

Best enchantments are usually +size, +damage, and +knockback in my experience. The +10% crit damage isn't usually a big help. If you've got EN Curse and Spider Cooking with both +15% size increase and them collab them into the giant pit of eldritch(whatever its actually called) it takes up the entire screen. Similarly if you get the Ice Collab that freezes enemies the enemies wind up frozen a lot farther away and refreeze quicker until you knock out the fans.

Sometimes useful enchantments are the +Projectile with things like the Tears, EN CURSE, The Buttplug. Otherwise Hit rate+20% early on with Spider Cooking at lv5-6 when it gets its innate +20% means its wiping the heck out of the low HP enemies that get too close incredibly quickly and once it gets knock back it procs almost immediately.

Honestly the +10% Crit Damage is the outlier in usefulness, as unless you deliberately go for a full Crit-Build its not all that much more damage compared to the usefulness of size increasing stats or outright damage buffing.

The crit bonus being 10% makes no sense, unless I'm missing something. Why would the bonus for crits ONLY be LESS than the enchant bonus to ALL damage? Damage+15% means that when you crit you're doing more than than if you had Crit damage+10%. It's like they purposely made one enchant that's terrible

IIRC crit damage stacks multiplicatively while regular damage stacks additively with most things that increase damage (up to and including the innate damage of different weapons). I don't actually where the break-even point is but there is one.
