How Acid Splash Works In BG3
Acid Splash is effective for damaging multiple enemies at once. The spell requires a Dexterity saving throw from the targets; those who fail the save take acid damage. This cantrip is especially useful in situations where enemies are clustered together, maximizing the area of effect.
The spell’s range of 18 meters allows the caster to maintain a safe distance from enemies while still dealing damage. Since it does not require concentration, it can be used freely without worrying about maintaining the effect.
Use Acid Splash when enemies are close together to maximize its area of effect damage.
