The SendingStone review

True Strike is a cantrip that seems appealing to spellcasters on the surface but is unfortunately quite underwhelming in practice. It allows the player to gain advantage on their next attack roll against a designated target within 30 feet after a turn of concentrating. This cost is too steep for what it offers, especially given how rarely the advantage will actually pay off. True Strike also competes with other more viable options at the cantrip level, such as Mage Hand and Prestidigitation. Ultimately, while True Strike may sound useful, it fails to live up to expectations and is best to be avoided in most cases.
