That's why you have to use your knowledge of the monster when you choose which combat cantrip to hurl. If they are dumb but flexible like a spider, throwing sacred flame which provokes a dex save isn't going to connect as often as a vicious mockery.

Depends on your DM too, as it could be argued that arachnids are TOO dumb to know when they're being mocked...

I don't know why my DM cares about what I do in Balders Gate.

The real tips are in the comments
CLERICS SHOULD USE CLERIC CANTRIPS
And have toll the dead if damage is more the move rather than incapacitation
Magic Missile enjoyers:
0.1% ??? BG3 no hit run ruined!
I use toll of dead or sacred flame depending on the save of the enemy. But i swear she is hard coded to miss more. I had her be a exact copy of my tav with the exact same gear and stats and she missed a third more then me (as vengeance paladin not cleric tho) surely theres a reason behind this meme
