This can be especially inconvenient if you cannot just follow them (they can fly, they are faster than you). Booming Blade help keep them nearby so that you can attack them next round.
This is especially applicable for Arcane Tricksters who can Booming Blade and then disengage but it can be also helpful for someone who is willing to risk an opportunity attack to keep the enemy from following. For example you are a warlock facing a bandit. You could disengage but the bandit will just follow you. You could dash but so can the bandit so you will end up in the same situation. But if you booming blade and then retreat and the bandit stays put you can then dash on the next turn and the bandit will be unable to catch up. There are a lot of enemies who are fragile, magic casters, sneaky, or ranged fighters. They would love to run and hide if you get into combat. Booming Blade deals extra damage if these targets run, so it can help you control the fight by forcing them to take extra damage, or stay in an unfavourable situation.įighting packs of goblins at low levels illustrates this problem.

When a goblin gets hurt at all, the cowardly creature is likely to flee or at least try and put distance between themselves and the PC so they can hide and use ranged attacks. Using Booming Blade makes running a less appealing choice, so they are forced to stay and fight and can be easily dispatched. I have found that Arcane Trickster in particular can make effective use of Booming Blade. An enemy force consisting of tanks, and back liners is vulnerable to rogues. Rogues can easily flank the back liners and take them out with heavy damage.
