How to Enchant in Soul's Crossover X
Add enchantment layers to keeper gear at Chara — after reforge, before your next soul craft.
Enchanting is the second layer of gear customization in Soul’s Crossover X, sitting between reforge rolls at Frisk and permanent soul crafts at Sans. The Chara NPC in the main spawn lobby handles enchantments — stand next to Frisk (Reforge) and the reset room so you can walk the full upgrade loop without teleporting across the map. This guide explains when to enchant, how it differs from reforge, and how to budget Gems so you still afford Seven Soul crafting later.
What enchanting does
Enchant applies a dedicated enchantment modifier to eligible equipment — weapons, spells, armor, accessories, and some tools. Unlike reforge, which rerolls a random stat tier prefix (Broken through Secret), enchant adds a separate bonus layer that stacks on top of your reforge result. The exact enchant pool depends on item category: melee tools favor damage enchants, spells favor spell damage or cooldown modifiers, and armor scales bonuses with item rarity.
Enchant cannot replace a bad base item. Putting enchant on a D-tier Bandage or Faded Ribbon wastes Gems you need for souls. Always settle on a keeper piece — something you will wear for dozens of levels — before opening Chara’s menu.
Where to find Chara
- Spawn into the main lobby.
- Face the Undertale-inspired NPC cluster near the center.
- Frisk has Reforge above their head; Chara handles Enchant.
- The reset room sits between them — same landmark row for How to Reset navigation.
If you cannot find Chara, check that you are in the primary hub, not a zone portal instance. Enchant services are lobby-only in current patches.
How to enchant step by step
- Farm Gems from Codes, quest rewards, resets (+100 Gems each), and events.
- Reforge first at Frisk — roll your keeper weapon or spell until Rare tier or better (5 Gems per attempt).
- Return to Chara with the same item equipped or in inventory.
- Open the enchant UI, select one keeper item.
- Pay the listed Gem cost and confirm.
- Read the enchant name and stat panel. Repeat only if you have disposable Gems after soul crafting reserves.
Order matters: reforge → enchant on keepers. Enchanting before reforge can overwrite synergy or leave you re-rolling a piece you already invested in.
Reforge vs enchant vs soul craft
| System | NPC | Typical cost | Effect | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reforge | Frisk | 5 Gems per roll | RNG stat tier prefix on one item | Spells and main weapons first |
| Enchant | Chara | Varies by item | Enchantment layer stacked on reforge | Keeper gear after Rare+ reforge |
| Soul craft | Sans | Shards + Gold + Gems | New soul identity and passives | Progression backbone — always priority |
Soul craft changes your entire character stats. Reforge and enchant tune individual slots. A Determination Soul with a mediocre weapon still clears bosses; a Human Soul with perfect enchants still falls behind.
Gem budgeting for July 2026
Gems are the scarcest upgrade currency. Plan in tiers:
Early (levels 1–50): Spend zero on enchant. Craft Patience and Integrity at Sans. Redeem codes immediately.
Mid (50–150): Reforge your main spell at Frisk. Skip enchant until you equip a B-tier or higher keeper from Enemy Drops or shop buys.
Late (150+): Enchant keeper weapon and chest armor after reforge stabilizes. Reserve 100 Gems for Seven Soul crafting (non-negotiable).
Code income: Active Codes including sorryforthetroubles (200 Gems) can fund an entire enchant session — but spend code Gems on soul shards and reforge before luxury enchant rerolls. Track redemption limits; codes expire when Noctyra rotates them.
Sample budget after two resets (200 Gems from resets alone, plus code redemption):
- 40 Gems — reforge main spell (8 attempts)
- 100 Gems — banked for Seven Soul
- 30 Gems — one enchant on keeper weapon
- 30 Gems — emergency reserve
Adjust if you bought Tem Soul (100 Gems) from the Tem Shop.
Which items to enchant first
Priority for most PvE accounts:
- Main DPS weapon after Rare+ reforge — pairs with Weapons tier list S-tier picks like Real Knife or Chaos Saber.
- Primary spell if your build is caster-heavy (Hotland and Judgement Hall checks).
- Chest armor — True Locket or Heart Locket after reforge; rarity amplifies armor enchant value.
- Accessories — only after weapon and armor are stable.
Do not enchant starter gear from the Beginner Build — Worn Dagger and Bandage are placeholders.
Enchant and set synergy
Enchant bonuses multiply with set percentages. Erased Set (Real Knife + True Locket + Determination Soul) rewards enchant on both weapon and armor. Justice Set players should enchant Empty Gun after Cowboy Hat and Justice Soul are equipped — the +20% DMG set bonus scales with enchanted weapon damage.
Cross-check Sets before enchanting mismatched pieces you plan to replace.
When enchant is not worth it
- You have fewer than 20 Gems and no core soul crafted yet.
- You are minutes away from a boss drop that replaces your current item.
- You have not reforged the item yet — fix the base tier first.
- You still need 100 Gems for Seven Soul — never enchant at the expense of that craft.
Tools and calculators
The wiki Tools page may host DPS estimators that factor reforge and enchant together. Use them to compare one enchant roll against another soul craft’s flat stat gain before spending.
Endgame enchant targets
After Super Saiyan Soul and Frisk Knife acquisition, enchant burst spells that synergize with Awakening windows. Enchant armor last — by then True Locket or Swap Locket should be reforged and ready for Chara.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Where is the enchant NPC in Soul's Crossover X?
Chara in the main spawn lobby, next to Frisk (Reforge) and the reset room. Look for the Enchant label above Chara's head.
Should I reforge or enchant first?
Reforge first at Frisk until your keeper item hits Rare tier or better. Then enchant at Chara. Enchanting before reforge wastes Gems on items you may reroll away.
How many Gems do I need for enchanting?
Enchant costs vary by item category and rarity. Budget after reserving 100 Gems for Seven Soul crafting and 20–40 Gems for reforge. Code sorryforthetroubles grants 200 Gems if still active.
Is enchanting better than crafting a new soul?
No. Soul craft at Sans changes your entire stat backbone. Enchant fine-tunes one slot. Always craft the next soul in your progression path before heavy enchant spending.
Can I enchant armor and weapons together?
Yes, but one item per attempt. Prioritize your main weapon or spell, then chest armor. Accessories last. Each enchant spends Gems separately.
