A lot of them are Smites, which means they’re safe to stop concentrating on after the damage is delivered (unless you want that debuff!). This spell list has a lot of concentration spells. Blur does take concentration, however, so you won’t be able to use Smites while it’s active. Shield and Blur are both solid defensive spells Shield for emergencies and Blur to apply disadvantage. And Cone of Cold is good for Warlocks, a class without great Area of Effect options. Quite potent, if you can spare the Concentration slots. Phantasmal Killer is a decent ranged ability that can deal a lot of damage over the course of a minute. Elemental Weapon is only useful on nonmagical weapons, but gives you quite a boost when using them in low magic campaigns, this is great. I’d suggest picking up at least Staggering and Banishing, though all four are solid.Įlemental Weapon, Phantasmal Killer, and Cone of Cold are also fairly aggressive. If you don’t want to banish them, then Branding Smite’s 5d6 might be a better option, or Staggering’s debuff. And Banishing Smite is essentially the only smite you’ll be using at level 5 5d10 damage added to a melee strike is the best Smite available for the Hexblade, and the banish effect is quite potent against enemy casters or extremely hard-hitting melee characters. Staggering offers slightly less damage in return for debuffs on attack rolls and ability check usually worthwhile. Branding Smite can scale from 2nd to 5ht level spell slots, which is good for when you only need damage, without the utility options of the others. It forces your opponent to spend their action saving, meaning you’ll normally just have a Frightened enemy for a while. Wrathful Smite is a good way to apply Frighten without a save. You might notice that 4 of the 10 spells offered to the Hexblade are smites. 9th Level – Banishing Smite, Cone of Cold.7th Level – Phantasmal Killer, Staggering Smite.It offers some ways to make melee combat slightly more enticing, but suffers from concentration issues. The spell list is the real saving grace of the Hexblade, since the class abilities don’t do quite enough to usurp Eldritch Blast’s reign. However, combine the abilities of the Hexblade with the expanded spell list, and you’ll still have a fantastic reason to wade into melee range. Whether it actually succeeds at this task or questionable Eldritch blast still ends up having more rays, and therefore more damage. Its sole role is to give the Warlock a reliable frontline option in a world where most Warlocks would be crazy to take anything but Eldritch Blast. The Hexblade is an aggressive Warlock subclass with some defensive options.
