Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s most useful spell is straight out of X-Men Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 prioritizes movement more than Dungeons & Dragons, which has led to one spell being singled out as the most useful in the game. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has a strong focus on combat. As such, players tend to favor damage-dealing spells with a wide area of effect, like Fireball or Lightning Bolt. There are also buffing spells useful in battle, like Invisibility and Haste, making your warriors more effective. But what about movement? Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s combat has lots of verticality, as well as environmental hazards that make it dangerous to change positions. To this end, users on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit were dubbing Misty Step as the most useful spell in the game. \u201cMisty Step,\u201d the OP wrote, \u201cI\u2019d argue is the most useful spell in the game. Oh you want to get up to a vantage point? Misty Step, you don\u2019t have movement speed but you want to get close to an enemy? Misty Step, or you just want to get across something that you can\u2019t reach? Misty Step.\u201d Another user wrote, \u201cThe best thing about Misty Step is that it lets your mages stay our of ranged attack range, run into attack range, do an attack then get way the hell out of attack range again. \u201cFor some reason, people act like it\u2019ll kill them to keep their casters out of the enemy\u2019s range \u2013 you see more people bloody multiclassing into a heavy Armor Class to create some stupid AC-tank caster instead of just, you know, using the mage\u2019s inherent abilities to keep them safe.\u201d This wasn\u2019t the only place online where Misty Step love was shown, as another thread on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit also had people naming it the most useful spell in the game, comparing it to Nightcrawler\u2019s powers in the X-Men franchise. \u201cCall me basic but I love a good Misty Step. It lets me live out my Nightcrawler dreams. Also, I love Gale and Astarion\u2019s delivery of the spell incantation (the two characters who most use it in my runs).\u201d Misty Step isn\u2019t only useful in combat, as it can be used to reach far-off places outside your jumping range and bypass certain doors. The fact that it only uses a Bonus Action to cast and lets you slip away from Attacks of Opportunity makes it more appealing for your precious level 2 spell slots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
