Enigma is considered the King of all Armors in PvP (Player versus Player) play. He requires an extremely rare Rune (Jah), but offers all non-Sorceress characters to use the most precious Ability for PvP: Teleport. It’s a crucial skill for many PvP builds, but especially for paladins who use the blessed hammer skill as their primary attack (commonly known as Hammerdins). Paladins who use the Smite ability (commonly known as Smiters) also find Enigma to be attractive armor, due to the +2 to all abilities.

+2TB All Skills
Only 2 Runewords that are used on Body Armor have +2 to All Skills and that is Chains of Honor and Enigma.
+2 to all abilities is an attractive mod for caster and melee characters alike, but it’s arguably the most useful for paladins who use the Smite ability for their main attack, due to the fact that there are only two ways a Smiter can increase damage. done by his Smite abilities: + Damage modifier (numerical value), or by a +A All Abilities modifier. + To All Skill modifiers add more levels to the following paladin skills, all of which are used by Smiters to increase their damage potential: Smite, Holy Shield, and Fanaticism Aura. So it’s no surprise that items with the +A all skills modifier are attractive to Smiters.
+45% faster running/walking
An essential mod for PvP play as it allows your character to run and walk faster.
+1TB teleport
This is the superstar mod of Enigma Runeword.
Teleport is a skill from the Sorceress’s Lightning Spells skill tree. Allows the user to teleport to any location within their immediate vicinity. It can be used to escape tough monsters, to go through a level at a very fast pace.
It’s easy to see why this ability is so useful for Diablo 2 players involved in PvP: you can catch your opponent off guard by teleporting directly onto them and unleash your fiercest attacks and destroy them in seconds.
Nowhere is this more evident than with Hammerdins.
Paladins using the Blessed Hammer skill typically have two other skills maxed out as well: Blessed Marksmanship and Vigor, which are synergistic abilities with Blessed Hammer and increase Blessed Hammer’s damage to awesome builds. Add to that the fact that no one is immune to magic damage from hammers (except for one monster in the entire game), and you have a very powerful build for both PvM and PvP.
However, with Hammerdins, they have to like their Hammers properly. If they make even a small mistake, the Hammers’ bow might miss, leaving the Hammerdin vulnerable to a counterattack. This is difficult when they are covering the distance to their intended target.
However, with the Teleport ability, they can simply teleport into space above their target (not directly on top, but at an optimized distance based on the Hammers arc) and unleash their Hammers, which will decimate their opponent in one shot. or more. two hits
Damage reduced by 8%
Many players try to wear at least one item that has % physical damage resistance, for the simple reason that it reduces the damage taken from successful attacks.
+14 life after each kill
This mod is very good for characters that can kill a lot of monsters in a short amount of time. The aforementioned Hammerdin excels at this and therefore benefits greatly from this mod.
+ (1 per character level) +1-99% increased chance to drop magic items (based on character level)
In addition to all the awesome mods mentioned above, Enigma also comes with a level-dependent bonus to MF, so it’s not only good for PvP, but also for MF Runs.
Summary:
Any player who is serious about their PvP play will want to invest in this armor. While it may require a very expensive Rune, Jah, the ability to teleport is well worth it. Witches obviously might not find it all that useful, but the bonus life after each kill and the faster run/walk boost might make this armor attractive to them as well. Smiters who participate in PvP might also enjoy Enigma, because of the +2 to All skills, but if they prefer PvM play, they generally choose Call to Honor, due to the incredible Stamina increases that runeword offers.
