Can I twin Eldritch blast?

No, you generally cannot use Twinned Spell on Eldritch Blast at higher levels because the spell gains multiple beams (targeting more than one creature by default), violating Twinned Spell's core rule of targeting only one creature. You can use it at levels 1-4 when it produces just one beam, but once you hit level 5 and it creates two beams (and more at higher levels), it's ineligible for twinning, even if you aim all beams at the same target.

Why is Eldritch Blast so powerful?

Eldritch Blast is so powerful because it's a versatile, scaling cantrip that adds multiple damage-dealing beams with level progression, deals rare force damage, and gains massive bonuses from Warlock Invocations like Agonizing Blast (adding Charisma to each beam) and Repelling Blast (pushing targets), making it a reliable, high-damage source that can control enemies without using spell slots. It effectively acts like multiple weapon attacks and synergizes well with other spells or items for exponential power.
