Baldur s Gate 3: Best Cleric Class Build

It might not seem like a natural fit, but dipping two levels into the Fighter class as a Cleric grants an incredibly powerful ability: Action Surge. One of the iconic abilities of the Fighter class, Action Surge is a Bonus Action that grants the caster another Action that turn.

Act 3 offers some incredibly powerful weapons and items for a Vengeance Paladin. If you're using a two-handed weapon to maximize your damage, you could pick up Balduran's Giantslayer from the Dragon's Sanctum. This incredible sword doubles the bonus damage granted by your Strength Modifier whenever it connects, while also allowing you to increase in size (gaining temporary hitpoints, boosted damage, and advantage on Strength Checks and Saving Throws) once per short rest. If you're playing as a Githyanki, or respecced Lae'zel into a Vengeance Paladin, then the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane is also a good choice. It grants additional psychic damage on hit while also providing advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma Saving Throws. It also gives resistance to psychic damage, immunity to the "Charmed" status, and the special attack "Soulbreaker" to stun enemies.


At level 6, Wild Magic Sorcerers can "Bend Luck." When a creature they can see makes a saving throw, attack roll, or ability check, the Wild Magic Sorcerer can spend 2 Sorcery Points to roll 1d4 and apply the result as a bonus or penalty to that roll. This allows the Wild Magic Sorcerer to, as the name suggests, bend luck in their fa

Updated April 6, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 endings Gate 3 is right around the corner, and though lots of the new subclasses seem like a lot of fun to play, the base game still offers some very powerful options for the best Fighter build in BG3. The Battle Master Fighter is still the best Fighter build in BG3 – but that could change with the release of Patch 8. Until then, stick with this Battle Master Fighter guide to learn the best Fighter build tips, what makes the Battle Master such a powerful subclass for the Fighter, and other information that will help you min-max your Fighter character. This Fighter build guide has been updated to add in-game flavor descriptions of the class and subclass, as well as a new small section with the best consumables for the Fighter, including both potions and elixirs, in the Equipment section.

The Battle Master's unique mechanic is Battle Maneuvers . Upon reaching Level 3 and selecting the Battle Master subclass, players gain access to melee and ranged attacks that offer powerful additional effects. When using these abilities, though, they use one of the Fighter's limited Superiority Dice.

At level six, Necromancy Wizards get the abilities "Undead Thralls: Additional Undead" and "Undead Thralls: Better Summons." The former allows them to raise an extra corpse when casting "Raise Undead," while the latter empowers their undead with bonus HP equal to the Wizard's level and adds the Wizard's proficiency bonus to their damage rolls. At this point, the Necromancer is able to create multiple powerful undead to aid them in combat thanks to these two abilities.

When it comes to equipment, the Oath of Vengeance Paladin might consider grabbing the Gloves of Heroism, hidden in the Tollhouse in Act 1. These will provide the Heroism buff whenever the Paladin uses a "Channel Oath" ability. Players can then grab the Helmet Of Smiting from the Selunite Outpost (also in Act 1), and purchase the Armor of Devotion from Roah when they relocate to Moonrise in Act 2. The former provides temporary hit points whenever you apply a status effect using a smite spell ( Searing Smite inflicting a burn effect over time, for example), while the latter allows the Paladin to restore a Channel Oath charge at will once per long rest.

At Level 9, the Oath of the Ancients allows access to "Protection From Energy" and "Plant Growth" as additional prepared spells, letting them grant resistance to an elemental damage type or create difficult terrain for their foes.

Battle Master Fighters rarely spent too much time away from direct melee combat, and in a party with ranged damage and support sources, they should spend as much time as they can up-close and personal with enemies. It's perfectly fine to start a fight with a shot from a Crossbow, but when Initiative rolls, be prepared to close that distance quickly.
