The Baldur’s Gate 3 community is taking the time to pay respects to the spell that feels the best to use while playing.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of spells that players can use at any point to damage enemies, get to a new location, or find a way to an object they want to pick up.
Some of these are rather dull and are just there to serve the most basic of actions, but there are a select few that have stuck out the most to the fans.
One of these spells, Spirit Guardians, has emerged as a fan-favorite, not for its power, but for the satisfaction people feel when using it.

Other users take the time to mention all the situations in which the spell has come in huge for them:
“Even more satisfying is using Spirit Guardians against the rats in the Elfsong basement. Just cast it once, stand there, and let them all suicide lol.”
One Baldur’s Gate 3 player says they have crafted a Shadowheart build around the spell entirely and they keep her with their party at all times.
“I literally just equip her with as many movement + momentum equipment and buffs as possible and then as many damage riders/status effects as possible on top of that, and just have her run around. She’s a one-man army.”
People love Spirit Guardians so much, that some would even argue that it is, in fact, the best spell in the game, purely thanks to its cost to use.
Whether or not it can be given that label of “best spell,” it is clear that the Baldur’s Gate 3 community has a special place in their heart for Spirit Guardians.
