Baldur's Gate 3 - Complete Builds (2024)

FAQs

What's the strongest build in Baldur's Gate 3? ›

The best overall build in Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 is the Oath of Vengeance Paladin. You have the most versatility, single-target damage, and survivability all in one class. With the Vengeance subclass, you solve the issue for the Paladin and that's lethargic mobility.

The Paladin is the strongest class and subclass in Baldur's Gate 3 due to its damage output, survivability, and versatility. The Paladins can access various weapons and armour types, allowing for diverse playstyles. Combining Extra Attack with Divine Smite results in exceptional raw damage potential.

What I've personally enjoyed the most and what I consider the most reliable is College of Swords Bard 10/Paladin 2. Specifically with the Helm of Arcane Acuity and Band of Mystic Scoundrel, this build has near guaranteed CC on any target and very competitive damage output.

The best overall classes for solo play are the Ranger, Barbarian, and Wizard. The Ranger has high initiative and can be multiclass with the Rogue for extra utility.

Open Hand Monk/Thief Rogue/Fighter

This build is widely regarded as one of the most broken due to its incredible action economy and damage potential. By combining levels in Monk, Thief Rogue, and Fighter, you gain access to multiple attacks per turn, stunning strikes, and extra actions from the Thief subclass 1:1.

A Dagger That Always Hits. Found on Orin after killing her in Act 3. Bloodthirst is one of the most overpowered daggers in the entirety of BG3. This weapon is great for players who have planned to duel-wield, as the dagger has different effects depending on whether it is held in the player's main or offhand.

Out of the twelve available classes in Baldur's Gate 3, by far the hardest to master out of all of them has to be the Bard. With no companion fulfilling the role of this class from the start, it's down to the player to decide if they wish to dedicate themselves to mastering this class.

The best classes in BG3 are Bard, Rogue, Wizard, Cleric, and Paladin, as they are the best at fulfilling their role. All five of these classes are able to accomplish their specialty better than any other, even if just by a small margin.

No doubt about it, BG3 suffers from the same issue as Divinity, the characters become broken and OP in the mid game. I find that the power boost at level 5 (second attack) starts the process and around level 8 or 9 the group usually is too strong for any encounter, including act boss.

Cleric is most unplayed class in BG3.

What is Max level in Baldur's Gate 3? ›

Baldur's Gate 3 is based on Dungeons & Dragons 5e but has a maximum level of 12, not the tabletop RPG's maximum level of 20. Expansion of the level cap is unlikely. Higher-level spells and stronger villains in late-game DnD make it challenging to continue Baldur's Gate 3 past level 12 in a video game format.

For a solo playthrough, you want a class that excels in stealth. This maximizes the value of the Deathstalker Mantle, the main tool keeping you from being dogpiled by large groups of enemies. The two main options are the rogue and gloomstalker ranger.

I'd go as far as to say its mostly going to be best played solo. Its such a huge game with so much emphasis on story and roleplay that you'd need a very dedicated group to play it multiplayer at its best. Yes. I'd say it's mostly designed for a single player experience.

For the attribute point buy, the most important thing is to make sure you start with 17 in dexterity (the maximum you can have at character creation). After that, constitution is a good choice (more hit points is never a bad thing), as well as wisdom (as a ranger, your spellcasting is based off of wisdom).

Ah yes, it may be stereotypical, but truly, the Wizard is the best spellcasting class in the game. On top of having an impressive amount of subclasses from Fifth Edition, the Wizard also has the most versatility with access to the most spells out of any class in the game.

If you want to be flexible and account for lots of different potential party members, you'll want to pick Wizard, Fighter, Bard, or Cleric. Those are some of the most versatile classes in the game, and you can build them to fit well on any team.
