I’ve personally found great effectiveness using cloud of daggers maybe more than any other spell. Funnelling enemies through a passageway with multiple cloud of daggers cast on the spot is probably my current meta. Then I utilize thunder wave/ black hole to keep the enemies on the other side of the daggers once they make it through.

Another thing if found amazing success with is getting a party to strength 20 as fast as I can, which then I find 90% of enemies can be thrown off cliffs for instant kills. Throwing enemies off cliffs also only requires stealth checks where the body hits the ground and dies.

Lastly there is a fun little cheese strategy I’ve picked up that I don’t see anyone talking about. If you cancel an improvised weapon attack with an NPC before you deal damage, you can move NPC’s without angering anyone.

Crowd control

I knew CC was crowd control, I just don't know what that means in the context of this game. Is it a specific class, stats skill / spell? What is CC in BG3?

Usually magic wielders have great tools for this. In dnd classically wizards are great for it.

There's just so many good ways to apply it. Blind, holds, polymorphs and banishes.
