How to Choose an Elemental Crowd Control Enchantment for Swords

Swords can receive one of several mutually exclusive elemental enchantments to control enemy positioning and movement during combat.

Comparing Sword Aspects

Elemental Enchantments groups several crowd-control effects into competing slots. You can only pick one of the following for a single sword, and none can be combined with vanilla Fire Aspect:

• Earth Aspect: Launches grounded entities upward when struck, lifting them into the air.
• Frost Aspect: Imparts the freezing powder snow effect onto attacked entities, slowing and damaging them.
• Wind Aspect: Knocks back entities that are close to you, creating breathing room.

Selecting the Right Enchantment

1. For vertical disruption: Choose Earth Aspect if you want to keep enemies suspended or juggle grounded opponents.

2. For continuous freezing: Apply Frost Aspect if you want enemies to suffer freeze effects upon contact.

3. For personal space: Use Wind Aspect when fighting dense packs where pushing targets away from your immediate hitbox is critical.

4. Combine on an anvil: Since none of these aspects are treasure enchantments, apply your chosen effect using an enchanting table or book without worrying about incompatibility conflicts from the other two.
