Lightning Charges are a powerful effect found in certain weapons and armor in Baldur’s Gate 3. Think of it as a modifier that alters your items by giving them a unique passive.
Equipping an item with Lightning Chargers will give you +1 to your attack roll and an additional +1 to your lightning damage, allowing you to increase your offensive capabilities and deal devastating electrical damage to your enemies.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how you can find equipment with Lightning Charges in BG3.
