Effectiveness of area-of-effect spells
While fighting off the enemies, it is important to take control of the fighting area. Area-of-effect spells in Baldur’s Gate 3 are highly effective for players to get an upper hand while fighting enemies. For example, a Cloud of Daggers spell can make any large area dangerous for enemies. This spell builds a whirlwind of sharp objects for the opponent causing significant damage while enemies try to walk through it.
If players in Baldur’s Gate 3 use the spell at a choke point, then enemies will be forced to walk through it and take some serious damage in the process. Players can also push the enemy back into this whirlwind with Eldritch Blast and, while walking through it again, enemies will suffer more damage than usual.
Essentiality of movements
A large part of Baldur’s Gate 3 gameplay depends on movement-based combat skills. For example, characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 have a specific distance to move each time, but there are numerous ways to alter how the characters can move in the gameplay. Players can use jump as an additional value from the movement as it doesn’t take away any of the actions from the players. Players in Baldur’s Gate 3 can use jumping to overcome obstacles like fire or traps.
Throwing off enemies from higher grounds
This is usually an easier way to defeat your enemies in Baldur’s Gate 3, which also doesn’t require much effort from the players to cause damage. In Baldur’s Gate 3, players can position characters near high-ground enemies like spell-casters or archers and then simply push them off into a chasm. Players can learn new abilities in each class. For example, with the Warlock class, players can use Eldritch Blast to push enemies over a great distance. This technique can further help players to kill enemies.
Importance of sneaking
In Baldur’s Gate 3, players have many classes to opt from, but not all of them offer great combat skills and abilities. However, players can also sneak in somewhere if they don’t feel ready enough for combat. Baldur’s Gate 3 offers an exclusive sneaking ability for players to ambush enemies and sometimes completely bypass combat opportunities in the gameplay.
Running away from enemies
Like many RPG games, Baldur’s Gate 3 also heavily depends on strategic combat. This means that players always do not need to engage in combat with enemies. Sometimes, they can just choose to run away from stronger opponents. This doesn’t mean that players are getting defeated, this just increases the chance for a better strategic fight next time.
Paying attention to the interaction of elements
Elements play a crucial part in the gameplay of Baldur’s Gate 3. Players can observe the interaction of elements and use them in combat. For example, grease and web both slow down the enemies. It helps players to follow up with fire attacks or magic spells, which can light up the area and burn down the enemies.
If players can keep themselves covered in grease, then they can use the same trick to burn down enemies while they try to catch the player. This elemental interaction can certainly help players to get an advantage during combat.
Splitting the group
At times, ungrouping can help players to get some benefits in Baldur’s Gate 3. If players ungroup their invisible spellcasters, they can walk freely in the battleground to cast spells on the enemy. Their wise attitude can help them take down enemies faster.
Eco-friendly destruction of the environment
Baldur’s Gate 3 offers many destructible objects in the gameplay, which players can use for their benefit. If there are many enemies on a bridge, players can simply cast a spell to destroy the bridge to take down an army of enemies. This strategy can help players to fight off enemies even before they come into close proximity.
Throwing objects at enemies
Players in Baldur’s Gate 3 can engage in a lot of loot activities. If some of the looted objects are not essential, players can simply use them as a defense against enemies. Players can simply throw these objects at enemies during a fight and cause damage. Characters with higher strength can throw heavier objects, which is a plus. Players should focus on things that might come in handy during fights.

While Baldur’s Gate 3 asks players to be more strategic, sometimes using the resources properly can give an extra advantage to the players against the enemies.
