What does Wrath do in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Defined as an Equipment Feature in BG3, Wrath gives players a +1 damage bonus to any melee attacks.

Here’s the official description of Wrath: “Effect: Adrenaline courses through your veins. You have a +1 bonus to melee damage.”

So, if you favor more physical classes such as the Barbarian, Fighter, or Paladin, then Wrath becomes a more paramount Equipment Feature than it would for more Magic-based classes.

How to get Wrath in Baldur’s Gate 3

There are three pieces of equipment in Baldur’s Gate 3 that will equip the player with Wrath: Cap of Wrath, Bloodguzzler Garb, and Linebreaker Boots.

Having any of these selected as active items will enforce Wrath. Again, if your class specializes in getting up close and personal with an enemy, then Wrath will make your blows far more powerful.
