12	* {{Conlang}}: The inhabitants of Encantadia speak a fictional language called Enchanta, which is inspired by both the Filipino language and Romance languages.
13	* ContinuityReboot: The 2016 reboot resets the locations, plot, etc.

17	* ElementalPowers: The gemstones guarded by the Sang'gre sisters each represent an elemental power - [[BlowYouAway air]], [[DishingOutDirt earth]], [[PlayingWithFire fire]], and [[MakingASplash water]]. Each of the sisters have powers and personalities that fit their respective element as well.
18	** [[TheLeader Amihan]] the Sang'gre of [[BlowYouAway Wind]] is the most skilled fighter of the sisters and [[{{Flight}} can fly]].

26	* LieDetector: In the 2016 series, the Brilyantes have the capability to determine whether a given Encantado is speaking the truth or not.
27	* LightIsNotGood: In the 2005 series, Arde, the evil god of the underworld, dons gold-and-white-colored clothing. His dragon form has the same color scheme.
28	* MagicKnight: In the original 2005 run, the Sang'gres were not only skilled at magic and manipulating their own element but are elite warriors as well.
29	* MineralMacguffin: The elemental gemstones the Hathorians are after, and that their respective keepers are trying to protect. They're the whole reason the show's plot kicked off.
30	* MultiPartEpisode: Episodes of the 2016 reboot are divided into chapters. Most have only one chapter, but some have more than one chapter at once, and sometimes more than one episode will contain a given chapter (e.g. episodes 15 and 16 both comprise Chapter 19, "The Bad Vision of Minea").
31	* OneWordTitle: ''Encantadia'' is only one word. Book 2, titled ''Etheria'', also counts.
32	* ThePlace:
33	** ''Encantadia'' is the name of the show's setting.
34	** Book 2 of the 2005 series, ''Etheria'', is titled after the fifth kingdom of Encantadia, known as Etheria.
35	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: In the 2016 series, Arde, the ''bathala'' of Encantadia's underworld, is crimson red with multiple black-colored accents.

38	** Diana Zubiri, who played Danaya, nows plays the role as [=LilaSari=].

40	* SeaMonster: Multiple ''bakunawas'' (a type of sea serpent from Filipino mythology) inhabit Carcero and act as guards to deter any prisoners in the territory from escaping.
41	* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Amihan is introduced in the second episode of the 2016 reboot. In the original 2005 series, she appears in the first episode and thus averts this trope.
42	* SharedDream: Sang'gre (BlueBlood [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Fairy]]) women can conceive offsprings by [[GRatedSex holding hands]] in dreams, sometimes deliberately with a LoveInterest or a ChosenConceptionPartner, but they can also be guided by the PowersThatBe to conceive with a man they never knew before in reality. The sign of the conception's success is a flower appearing out of nowhere on the Sang'gre woman's palm when she wakes up.
43	* SharedUniverse: Shares a universe with ''Series/{{Mulawin}}'', as the Mulawins' home territory of Avila/Avalon happens to be one of the regions in Encantadia. The ''Mulawin'' characters do not have much involvement in ''Encantadia'', however, apart from in ''Film/MulawinTheMovie'' which is a crossover between the two series.
44	* SpinOff: ''Encantadia'' is often considered a spin-off of ''Series/{{Mulawin}}'', with it taking place in the same SharedUniverse and all.
45	* TitlePlease: In the 2016 reboot, the episodes' titles are never given in the episodes themselves, with their associated [[EngineeredHashtag hashtags]] being used for the titles.
46	* VoluntaryShapeshifter: Hathorian royalty, particularly Hagorn, Pirena's father, has this ability, however, as he is not of ''diwata'' blood he cannot maintain it for long and it weakens him with each use. Pirena, as a part-''diwata'', can maintain it for far longer than he can at little cost to herself.
47	* WaterIsWomanly: Alena is the keeper of the Water Gem and the most kind and romantic of the Sang'gre siblings, not wanting to become queen out of her desire to marry her true love and start a family.
48	%%** Amihan wields the sword-and-shield combo.
49	%%** Pirena [[DualWielding dual wields daggers]].
50	%%** Alena wields a spear.
51	%%** Danaya wields tonfas.
