InTheWitcher 3, Geralt of Rivia has access to many tools.
There are five in total: Axii, Quen, Igni, Aard, and Yrden.
Witheach sign offering a different effect, their uses vary by situation.
Some enemies will go down quickly to a particular sign, while others seem completely immune.
Here are the best and worst uses of each sign inThe Witcher 3.
While useful, there are limitations to controlling minds.
One notable situation where this ability might fall short is in a battle against golems.
These stony creatures don’t really have the most developed version of what we’d consider a brain.
They’ll just smash and smash until their giant boulder-hands land on you.
It’s best to avoid trying to control their minds and go for some other strategies.
In the Witcher series, using Axii on humans is amazing.
One situation where this temporary invincibility comes up short is against some Necrophages, specifically ghouls.
It might be better to stick to a crowd-clearing move like Igni or Ard.
This is the offensive dream of many and can be used in a wide variety of situations.
But, it has its downfalls as well.
Fire elementals resist this spell, being made of fire and using it for their attacks and defense.
Igni doesn’t just do a lot of damage to these foes.
It also spreads them out and stops them from attacking Geralt.
Set those ugly blue creatures alight, then start swinging.
They’ll go down so easy, it’s like the spell was made for use against them.
It can be used to clear whole crowds of humans by knocking them on their behinds.
But Aard’s effectiveness can be based on size in many cases.
One example of where this works against you is against the frighteningly-large Arachas, especially the Armored variety.
It’s best to try something other than this blast of wind.
With a quick shout, Geralt knocks these dragons out of the sky with a blast of wind.
It’s fun no matter how many times you do it.
2Yrden -Worst Enemy
This magic trap sign is controversial in the fanbase.
One thing is true, and that’s Yrden’s uselessness against harpies or anything else that flies.
Stick with the crossbow or Aard.
1Yrden - Best Enemy
Of course, Yrden can’t be forgotten when battling Noonwraiths and Nightwraiths.
