Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Patch 5 combat encounter difficulty discussion

The all-ranged party succeeded in absolutely Wrecking the inproved Githyanki on first Attempt.

The big change is not having Lae'zel running in like a noob. She is chilling at the camp instead.

MVPs:
Arranging everyone on the high ground, stealthing then commencing surprise assault.
The Magic Missile Amulet
Ranged Menacing Assault + Poison on Bow
Hex-Warlock with Agonizing Blast
Upcast Guided Bolt
and for fun upcast Ray of Sickness + Poisoner's Robe

That was enough to destroy them without having to dip into:
Restealthing in combat
Potions of Speed
Barrels
The Imp
Shoving
DIpping
Invisibility Potions
Kite-ing

I personally consider it a full non-cheese win with the general tools provided within the game and am declaring my Patch 5 Ironman complete and won, having done the Duergar earlier.
