Summary
There are many weapons inBaldur’s Gate 3, and one of the properties that players can find is Light. This attribute is associated to Clubs, Daggers, Handaxes, Hand Crossbows, Light Hammers, Scimitars, Shortswords, and Sickles, allowing for a versatile way to play inBaldur’s Gate 3that will allow them to dual wield weapons. Players can hold two Light weapons in both the Main Hand and the Off Hand, granting unique Bonus Actions and more damage.
Yet, if players want to trulymaximize the capabilities of their playstyle, then perhaps it’s worth finding the best Light weapon inBaldur’s Gate 3. There are plenty to choose from, and players will never be short of an arsenal of weaponry, as long as they know where to look and what the weapon does.
7Ritual Dagger
1~4 Damage
A dagger is always a great choice for those with an act of stealth and careful striking. Whilst the damage is nothing to brag about, it’s the special effects that are. With the bonus to Attack Rolls for each attack, paired with the Blood Sacrifice Bonus Action, players can even further increase their Attack Roll bonus, butat the cost of takingsome Slashing damage for themselves, so it’s best reserved for enemies that just dodge every single attack thrown at them, especially in Act 1.
6Hand Crossbow +2
3~8 Damage
Whilst the Hand Crossbow +2 has no desirable effects and mere basic weapon actions, the fact that it hasgreat high damage for a light crossbowis all the more reason to pick it up. Light weapons are great to dual-wield, and grabbing one of these will mean that players will be able to attack their turns more than once, especially if they have invested in the correct build. Whilst simple, the Hand Crossbow +1 does as it should.
5Stillmaker
3~6 Damage
A +2 dagger variant, the Stillmaker has a twistingblade design to try and nick the fleshof its victim as many times as possible.
It’s a horribly violent-looking weapon and paired with the Hold Person effect, players can make their targets susceptible to attacks and unable to move, allowing for players to unleash a flurry of attack moves from this great light weapon inBaldur’s Gate 3.
4Knife of the Undermountain King
A Very Rare shortsword that exists within the realm of light weapons, theKnife of the Undermountain Kinghas bonuses when it comes to rolling a Critical Hit. The fact that players can roll a 2 or less and have the ability to reroll for no extra downside is a great advantage that will see the blade warrant much use, especially to those in stealth or those with an act for spotting enemiesobscured in shadow.
3Sussur Dagger
2~5 Damage
Hand-crafting a weapon like this deserves to be wielded, and theSussur Daggeris great against those magic wielders who can’t shut up.
Hitting an enemy with the Sussur Dagger will grant Silence, which means that the hit opponent cannot use verbal commands, thus shutting down theirability to use most spells. This is great for light weapon users who want to stealth through their game.
2Justiciar’s Scimitar
The idea of using a weapon capable of Blinding enemies is great, especially when this causes Disadvantage on Attack Rolls and reduces the range of ranged attacks and spells. Blinding with each strike can help overpower the battlefield, especially since this is a scimitar, which is one of the best weapon types inBaldur’s Gate 3for light and finesse players.
1Bloodthirst
Anyone who knows Orin knows that a weapon from her is nothing to scoff at. This Legendary Dagger is cemented as one of the best thanks to the fact that it makes Critical Hits far more likely, and players can cast True Strike at will, which allows for further Advantage on their next Attack Roll. Players can also mix and match as a Main Hand or Off-Hand weapon for different effects.
