The Reverberation condition in Baldur’s Gate 3 is an offensive status effect that you can apply to your enemies. This condition requires you to equip certain gear items in the game, and it inflicts a -1 penalty per turn to certain stats of the enemies.
Conditions play an important role in combat sequences and can give you an upper hand in an otherwise difficult situation.
In this guide, we will briefly look at the Reverberation condition in BG3 and how you can inflict it upon enemies successfully. This condition has no side effects, and you will get a free pass while spamming it through the course of the game.
Reverberation Condition Explained in BG3
Once you manage to successfully inflict the Reverberation condition upon an enemy in BG3, they start facing negative impacts. Three of their most important abilities are decreased by -1 per turn remaining. These abilities include Constitution, Dexterity, and Strength. Let us explain it in simple words. If an enemy has 3 turns left, all three of his attributes mentioned above will take -3 hit.
However, the fun doesn’t stop here. If an enemy has 4 or more turns left, they also start taking up to 4 Thunder damage per strike. There is also a chance of them getting Prone (which lasts for one turn only). They also get penalized for -1 for their saving throws per turn. This all sounds too good to be true, but there is a small catch. Enemies with Thunder resistance are also resistant to the Reverberation condition in BG3.
