From the six options, be sure to have Insight and Investigation covered. Investigation is incredibly useful while exploring the world and locating items for quests, as it can highlight things before you even see them.

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.

The path of Giants allows a Barbarian to channel the primal might of giants, growing in size and amplifying their strength. Initially, at third level, the Barbarian's rage becomes "Giant's Rage." This increases their size by one category when entering rage and doubles their rage bonus on throwing attacks (though a bug currently locks this bonus at +4, even at level 9 when it should be +6). They also gain the Thaumaturgy Cantrip, and the ability "Vaprak's Greed." Vaprak's Greed will increase the Barbarian's carrying capacity by a quarter.

Updated on April 15th, 2025, by Thomas Hawkins: With the release of Patch 8, players now have access to a new subclass for every class in the game. In the case of the Warlock, this is the Hexblade, whose pact with sentient magical weapons forged from shadow makes them masters of melee magic. This new subclass opens up all kinds of new playstyles for the Warlock, including some secret synergies with the Shadow Sorcerer, so this guide has been updated accordingly.
At level six, they gain Misty Escape, letting them turn invisible after taking damage once per short rest. Once invisible they can choose to cast Misty Step on their next turn, though doing so breaks the invisibility effect.

At level Six, Berserkers gain the "Mindless Rage" ability, which grants them immunity to the Charmed and Frightened status effects while raging. It also prevents the "Calm Emotions" spell from ending their rage. At level 10, they gain "Intimidating Presence," allowing them to inflict fear on a target as an action. This can be useful for neutralizing foes and rendering them more vulnerable to attacks.

Players should seek out the Spell Savant Amulet in Act 3 to keep in the inventory for emergencies, since wearing it will grant an additional level 2 spell slot and each party member can use that bonus spell slot once per long rest. The Shelter of Athkatla (Looted from Lorroakan in Act 3) provides advantage on saving throws against all spells and lets you cast Mirror Image for free once per long rest, making for an excellent defensive option. That said, the Robe of the Weave can also be acquired from the Tower where Lorroakan can be found , in the same location as Markoheshkir and contained within another orb. This Robe gives the wearer +2 AC and a +1 bonus to Spell Attack Rolls and Spell Save DCs. It also heals you whenever you succeed a saving throw against an incoming spell, which can be handy.

Where multiclassing is concerned, Warlock pairs excellently with the other Charisma Caster classes: Paladin, Bard, and Sorcerer. A Paladin with Pact of the Blade can dump their strength stat entirely and focus on Charisma, gaining better spellcasting with no loss in their melee combat capabilities, while also using the Warlock's spell slots (which recharge on a short rest) to dish out Divine Smites more often. Access to Metamagic from the Sorcerer can allow some incredibly busted combos through the use of quickened spell and distant spell, including the ability to rapid-fire 6 eldritch blasts in a single turn at level 10. Bards with the College of Swords subclass can make excellent use of the Pact of the Blade to reduce the number of attributes they need to worry about, while also gaining access to a much wider range of damage and support spells from the Bard spell list and Magical Secrets.
