In SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM, various monsters require a weapon of a certain enchantment level to be hit - this is determined by the "Need +x weapon to hit" property, also known as "enchantment resistance". Most supernatural monsters such as ​A angelic being, ​L lich and ​V vampire possess this "enchantment resistance" property.

A monster with the property takes no damage from attacks using weapons that have an enchantment lower than the property flag tied to that monster, e.g., an Aleax has the MR_PLUSTWO flag, so it ignores damage from weapons that are +1 or less;[1] the flag also determines what level of enchanted weapon the monster hits as if they do not explicitly possess a property of that type.

Below is a complete list of monsters with "need +x weapon to hit" in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM.

Need +1 weapon to hit

Need +2 weapon to hit

Need +3 weapon to hit

Need +4 weapon to hit
