One Baldur’s Gate 3 player has discovered a way to land Critical Hits on rolls of 11 or above, practically guaranteeing destruction wherever they go.

Overpowered builds are plenty in Baldur’s Gate 3, and players have managed to create some epic characters that deal hundreds of points of damage in one turn, have tons of attacks, or an armor class that even the Elder Brain couldn’t hit.

However, one element that can really set you above the rest is your Critical hits. They give you the chance to deal some devastating damage without any specific features needed. However, with the right build, those crits increase and you end up becoming almost a God. Here’s how one player managed to do just that.

Epic Dark Urge build means players can crit on rolls of 11 or more

Sharing their cruel creation on Reddit, one Baldur’s Gate 3 player revealed how they managed to get Critical Hits on rolls of 11 or above.

They explained their exact build: “With Daddy’s Blessing in the final fight plus all the crit gear I was wearing. Full breakdown for anyone interested: -2 Bloody Inheritance -1 Sarevok’s Helmet -1 Shade Slayer Cloak -1 Bloodthirst -1 Knife of the Undermountain King -1 The Dead Shot -1 Champion Fighter -1 Elixir of Viciousness”

As for the rest of their character, the poster shared more details in the comments, revealing: “4 Assassin, 5 Gloomstalker, 3 Champion Fighter – Alert and Sharpshooter feats. Also the Surgeon Paralysis Amulet, Killer’s Sweetheart ring, Caustic Ring, Ichorous Gloves. Mindflayer – Cull the Weak, Luck of the Far Realms. I would buy up Arrows of Many Targets whenever I saw them, poison the arrows then crit/apply poison and acid to every group of enemies.”

Essentially, using the buffs you gain as a Dark Urge, some useful feats, and carefully selected armor, the player is able to destroy enemies with ease.

As soon as the idea was revealed, fans adored the creation, with hundreds heading to the comments to show their love for the build: “That is disgusting lol I love it.”

“This build would have to be game-breaking surely” commented one fan, with many agreeing that it could make the battles much easier, although pretty satisfying at the same time.

With a crit chance at 11, one user revealed that “with Advantage, you must be crit-ing like 75% of the time” proving just how useful the build really is – if that’s the moral standing you want to achieve during your next playthrough.
