Best Warlock spells in Baldur’s Gate 3

Last Updated: March 24th, 2022

Bestowed magic from otherworldly beings, Warlocks are capable of powerful Eldritch spells. Depending on their patron, they’ll have access to different spells, some being unique to a certain patron. Warlocks tend to be versatile in their magic, but because of their smaller number of spell slots, each spell matters. They might sometimes resort to using their melee weapons or cantrips only, so their spells need to matter. Not just for combat but for general use too.

Warlock spells

Before we go through our list of top five Warlock spells, we need to know which are the spells currently available to Warlocks.

5 – Scorching Rays

One of Warlock’s main dps spells, if you were to target all three scorching rays on one person, that’s 6d6 fire damage on one target. Or you can spread it out more and target multiple foes standing between you and victory.

4 – Armour of Agathys

If you’re planning on being quite up-close and personal with your enemies then equipping the Armour of Agathys is a must. It’s not the temp hit points you want, it’s the additional damage you can inflict to anyone who hits you with melee attacks. No rolls, just a flat 5 points each time they hit you.

3 – Misty Step

The ‘get out of here’ or the ‘I need to get there’ spell is useful to every spellcasting class. Misty Step only uses a bonus action but can pretty much get the player anywhere they might need to be. Whether it’s a matter off escaping trouble or quickly joining a fight.

1 – Eldritch Blast

There’s no debating that Eldritch Blast is the best and strongest cantrip in all of Baldur’s Gate 3. With the additional invocations that can add additional damage to your rolls, Eldritch Blast deals a great amount of damage which only increases as the player’s level increases too.
