Enchantments

Enchantments are bonuses found on melee weapons, armor, helms, ranged weapons and magic in Shadow Fight 2. Each enchantment has its own unique effect on the item, which gives the player a certain advantage in fights. There are three ways of obtaining enchantments:

Purchasing items that can only be bought with gems; these items are already enchanted (most of the time).
Manually enchanting items through the Forge.
Winning fights against particular enemies or participating in certain game modes may reward the player with special items that come with enchantments.
Defeating Challengers as their weapon are already enchanted.

The Forge

The Forge is a section in the shop that allows the players to enchant any equipment pieces using Shadow Orbs. There are three different types of Shadow orbs: Green, Red, and Purple Orbs. The green orbs are the most common ones. You get them in pretty much every round you fight. The red orbs are the second most common type of orbs. You can get them when you fight in eclipse mode. Purple Orbs are the rarest orbs. You can get them when defeating the demons or when you open the mystery box. This section becomes available in Act II, after the player beats one Tournament stage and makes an upgrade to any armor. However, there is no certainty as to which enchantment they might receive. There are a total of 25 enchantments in the game, of which 8 are simple, 9 are medium, 2 are mythical, 2 are mythical but unimplemented (Searing Luminary and Stone Fetters), one is unobtainable through The Forge but available on some special items (Critical Protection), 2 are completely unavailable to the player (Shocking Strike and Static Charge), and one appears only during certain challenges and stages (Burning).

The available enchantments can be forged from three recipes: Simple, Medium, and Mythical Recipes. After an enchantment forging is started, the player must wait a certain amount of time before the enchantment is ready. The waiting time varies depending on the complexity of the recipe, and it can be skipped using 5 gems. Only one item can be forged at a time, so the player cannot begin enchanting any items before the current forging process is completed, if any.

Whenever an item is enchanted with a Simple or Medium recipe, any previous Simple or Medium enchantments on that item irreversibly disappear and are replaced with the new enchantment.

Simple Recipes

Simple recipes are the first kind of recipe available to the player for forging enchantments. They require only Green Shadow Orbs to forge and take 20 minutes to complete, the shortest wait duration among all recipes.

Mythical Recipes

Mythical Recipes are crafted using Purple, Red, and Green Orbs, and take 2 hours to be forged. Different from the other recipes, they cannot be forged until the player obtains all pieces of equipment from a Mythical Equipment Set, which can be done from either Ascension or raids. Mythical enchantments do not replace existing Simple or Medium recipes. In order to use a Mythical enchantment in battle, the player must enter a battle wearing a weapon, armor, helm, ranged weapon, and magic all enchanted with the same Mythical enchantment. The enchantment works after the player is disarmed, but challenge rules that disable or modify the player's weapon also disable Mythical enchantments for the affected rounds. Unlike the Simple and Medium enchantments, Mythical enchantments require the player to deliver multiple strikes in order to trigger the effect, and are guaranteed to trigger when fully charged. Player hits that bypass enemy blocks through the Block Breaker perk do not count toward charging the effect or activating it. The Enchantments for the Mythical Recipes are:

Name	Image	Description
Tempest Rage		The mythical enchantment of Monk's Set. Every successful hit gives a chance to grow a blue swirling aura around Shadow that can stack up to four times. When in full glow, the next unblocked hit will deal 350% more damage and knock the foe a great distance. However, taking hits has a high chance to reduce aura stacks. A throw is guaranteed to reduce one stack.
Typhoon of Spirits		The mythical enchantment of Sentinel's Set. Every successful hit gives a chance to grow a yellow shield-like aura around Shadow that can stack up to three times. When in full glow, any unblocked hit taken by Shadow will cause the enemy to take damage equivalent to 300% of the damage received. However, taking hits when not in full stack has a high chance to reduce aura stacks. An opponent's throw is guaranteed to reduce one stack.
Crimson Corruption		The mythical enchantment of Warlock's Set. Every 4 to 6 successful hit gives a curse to the opponent, marked with a red sparkling aura around the opponent. Each curse inflicts a bleeding effect on the opponent, and increases with each stage. The curse lasts for 5 seconds. However, the curse expiration is refreshed with every successful hit. This curse effect can stack up to 3.
Icy Resistance		The mythical enchantment of the Forest Guardian Set. At the start of every round, the player is given 3 stacks of the enchantment. While the enchantment is active, the user will be surrounded by a blizzard that nullifies all incoming damage and knocks off the opponent when hit. When the users get hit, it takes a stack of the enchantment and a three-stacked special perk will activate which increases the damage dealt by the next 3 successful hits.
Karma		The mythical enchantment of the Skanda's Set. After combo of 3 hits, the enchantment will activated, indicated by a looping Yin-Yang effect behind users. If the users has more that 50% health, any hit delivered to the opponent deal increased damage and knocks them. However, the users also lose partial of their health. It can be indicated by the red Yin effect. If the users has less that 50% health, any hit delivered to the opponent will regenerates the users health. It can be indicated by the green Yang effect. All the buff effect are depends on the user's combos. The more combos the user performs, the more power of the enchantment, up to 9.
Stone Fetters		N/A
Searing Luminary		N/A

Unavailable or Unimplemented Enchantments

Name	Image	Description
Critical Protection		A 20% chance to reduce damage from an incoming critical hit. Extent of this reduction depends on the power of this enchantment. This enchantment was only available on two helms: the Iron Mask, which can only be bought from the 1.6.1 Starter Pack, and Fur Ear-Flap, the New Year 2018 special helm which can be obtained from Gingerbread Chest.
Static Charge		A chance to trigger a short lightning storm targeting your enemy after being hit. This chance depends on the power of the enchantment.
Shocking Strike		Chance to cause a Shock with a Head Hit is increased. This chance depends on the power of the enchantment.

Special Challenge Enchantments

Name	Image	Description
Burning		This enchantment is seen in action on some challenges, and in Gates of Shadows. Whenever the player or the enemy receive a hit (blocked or not), they would be passed on the burning effect which causes them to start to lose health slowly over time; if the dealer of the hit had this effect, it would deactivate for them. This effect does not wear off; it can only be passed on back and forth until the round is over.

Trivia

Daisho is the only weapon in the game that has two non-Mythical enchantments (Precision and Poisoning). It can thus, if enchanted with a Mythical recipe, hold a maximum of 3 enchantments. Re-enchanting it with a Simple or Medium recipe causes it to permanently lose this property, and the two enchantments are replaced with the one newly forged.
Overheat is the only Simple recipe which is available on every piece of equipment.
Frenzy is the only Medium recipe which is available on every piece of equipment.
The Stun enchantment does not work on Titan or during the Underworld.
The Monk's Set items obtained from Ascension are all enchanted with simple enchantments in addition to Tempest Rage.
Lynx and May are the only enemies who have 2 enchantments on one gear type; Time Bomb and Poisoning on Lynx’s Claws and Throwing Daggers, Damage Absorption and Regeneration on May‘s helm and armor.
Even though the in-game descriptions of Weakness and Enfeeble imply that the enchantments only affect enemy's melee attacks, they also affect their ranged attacks and magic.
The players can increase their Time Bomb damage by equipping a stronger weapon. Additionally, they can reduce the damage from enemies' Time Bomb by equipping stronger armor.
- Time Bomb's damage can be reduced with enchantments that lower the opponent's attack power or increase the victim's defense, such as Weakness, Enfeeble, and Shielding. Furthermore, Damage Absorption is capable of nullifying Time Bomb's damage completely
Upon delicate investigation, medium enchantments' icons appear to have a "glow" aura to them when viewed in the shop. Simple and Mythical enchantments do not have this glow.
Upon delicate investigation, mythical enchantment icons have a golden rim around them, even the one that are unobtainable
