Best Enchantment Sets in God of War Ragnarok

Helheim Enchantment Set

Let’s face it, most of us will spend a lot of time with our health dangerously close to zero, especially at higher difficulty levels, so any help to level the playing field is welcome. The Helheim enchantment set does just that, granting a increase to melee damage when health drops below 50%.

Of all the Helheim enchantments, we recommend Helheim’s Virtue, which grants a healthy 20 points to runic and 2 to vitality. Up next, Helheim’s Force is a solid option for its 12 point boost to strength and 3 to vitality. Lastly, you can complete the set with either Helheim’s Might – 9 to defense and 4 to vitality – or Helheim’s Essence – 10 to vitality.

Alfheim Enchantment Set

The Alfehim enchantment set bonus sees last-second dodges empower Kratos’ next attack. Dodging is a huge part of a successful journey through the Nine Realms, so knowing that weaving and bobbing out of harms way powers up your next attack gives even more reason to avoid enemy attacks. The boost depends on strength, so this is a strong option for builds with a lot of points invested in pure DPS.

Alfheim’s Vigour is a no-brainer with its 10 point strength stat increase. Same goes for Alfheim’s Honor, which gives you +5 strength and +8 cooldown reduction. Lastly, we recommend pairing those two with Alfheim’s Justice for the +20 vitality increase and smaller, but always useful, +2 strength boost.

Regenerating Essence

Regenerating Essence grants a small amount of constant health regeneration. Self-explanatory. It’s an enchantment that can make a difference in those lengthy, attritional boss fights and Muspelheim trials, or when there’s no health stone in sight when out roaming.

Greater Regenerating Essence

The Greater Regenerating Essence is a souped up version of Regenerating Essence. It produces the same health regeneration benefit, but dishes out a higher amount.

Celestial Panacea

The Celestial Panacea enchantment offers a 25% resistance to all status effects – Frost, Burn, Blind, Daze, Poison, Shock, and Bifrost. You’ll get an awful lot of nasty status effects thrown your way throughout the Nine Realms, and there’s comfort to be had in knowing some of it will be mitigated by this enchantment.

Crest of Desperate Heroics

The Crest of Desperate Heroics grants a short invincibility barrier when Kratos’ health drops to a critically low level. Alongside, the barrier comes with a buff to strength, and health burst when it expires. See it as a mini, reusable resurrection stone for those inevitable moments when a parry or dodge goes horribly wrong.
