Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players ridicule the worst cantrip in the game Larian StudiosAn average playthrough of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is going to see you choose between hundreds of spells, abilities and cantrips, and sometimes that choice can be really difficult. However, there\u2019s one cantrip available from the very start of the game that players have branded as one of the worst possible, and it\u2019s very rarely chosen as one of their precious actions. To make matters worse, it\u2019s a cantrip usually available to clerics, like Shadowheart, and it\u2019s one of their only offensive spells. What is the worst cantrip in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3? In a post on the official Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit, one player joked that they were so used to Sacred Flame missing, that they thought it was a bug when it actually did damage to an enemy. They said: \u201c250 hours in and I never had this happen before\u2026I had Shadowheart cast Sacred Flame and it dealt damage? Has anyone else experienced this?\u201d Several other players joked that \u201cIt\u2019s got to be a bug\u201d that was added to the game during the recent patch notes. The reason players are so mean about Sacred Flame is that the ability is pretty unreliable. It\u2019s one of Shadowheart\u2019s base cantrips, and is also available to you if you\u2019re a cleric build, but it very rarely hits due to low accuracy, and even if it does, it won\u2019t be dealing that much damage. Its one saving grace is that it can deal bonus damage to undead enemies, so it becomes a bit more useful in Act 2, but beyond that, players haven\u2019t found much use for it.
