I dont get it. I mean it's basically another type of else If, isnt it?

Yes both of those are "Selection statements". In general if you have multiple conditions for the same input value you would use switch statement. It is much clearer that all the cases are about comparing this one value. Also check out this video to see why I would suggest using switch statement ua-cam.com/users/shortscQOQGvrjOac
If statement is better to check one condition and branch the logic "If player is dead stop enemy movement else move". You can "else if" instruction to do the same using if statement.
