Many players in Baldur’s Gate 3 attack only a few times per round. However, with the right setup, you can attack 16 times per round and possibly even more.
How can you attack more than once per round? In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are countless different abilities, items, and buffs that allow your character to perform additional actions and bonus actions – and that with the best class for beginners.
On Reddit, players have now asked how many attacks are possible per round with a character. The right setup is crucial.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is now over a year old and the developers reveal your secrets in the video:
One Class Makes It Possible
Which class is relevant? The “Fighter” class provides exactly the right foundation for many attacks. In our tier list, it ranks only in A-tier, but it is perfect for this specific purpose.
The Reddit community shows how: Fighters receive an extra attack at level 5 and level 11 respectively. That’s a free additional attack whenever an attack action occurs. That alone accounts for 9 attacks:
- 3 from one attack + extra attacks
- 3 more when a speed potion is consumed
- 3 more from “Breath Control”, a fighter ability that allows for another action
With the Elixir of Bloodlust, another 3 attacks are possible after defeating an enemy – so 12 in total. Additionally, your character can use “Terazul”, a consumable item that grants a haste-like effect. That stacks and adds another 3 attacks. Currently, we are already at 15.
With “Great Weapon Master”, there’s another bonus attack, and the “Martial Exertion Gloves” provide one as well. This means you could reach up to 17 attacks in an optimal case, provided you can withstand the damage from the gloves of 6D6. If not, there are still definitely 16 possible attacks.
In this video on YouTube, someone has already proven that 16 attacks per round are possible:
How can this be pushed to the limits? Those playing on the Tactical difficulty or lower can utilize the “Mind Sanctum” ability. This creates a field where actions and bonus actions trade costs, allowing for 3 additional attacks with bonus actions.
In Honor Mode, however, this does not work anymore; some interactions are disabled here because they do not exactly conform to the rules.
If you possess the very rare “Helmet of Grit” and manage to activate it when under 50% health, you can potentially make 3 more attacks. Overall, the community calculates a total of 22 attacks.
Does that also work? In theory, all of this works, but there will hardly be a situation where you can actually use the 22 attacks, and even if, hardly any group of enemies can withstand 22 attacks.
The build relies on the right gear, the right potions, medicine, and even the right amount of health points. There also need to be enough enemies for everything to work as intended.
