The best Wizard companions in BG3 are Shadowheart as the primary support of the party, Lae'Zel as your melee tank, and Astarion as another melee party member who can do extremely high damage and provide some use out of combat too.

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.

In Baldur's Gate 3 , most classes have something to choose from with almost every level up. Some melee-oriented classes, like the Monk or Rogue, don't have anything to pick at certain levels. But thanks to its heavy reliance on spells, and the Metamagic system unique to the class, this BG3 Sorcerer build has quite a lot to consider every time it levels.

Domain spells work just like other spells, and are highlighted in the spell list when leveling to avoid picking them twice. Channel Divinity abilities vary from domain to domain, and offer powerful effects from limited Channel Divinity charges. Clerics gain Channel Divinity charges at Level 2 and 6, which replenish on either a Short or Long Rest.


Among ranged weapons players can encounter in Baldur’s Gate 3 , the Longbow +2 is perhaps a must-have for any character who wants to dominate long-distance combat. This weapon’s only setback is its acquisition before the final fight in the game’s story, particularly when looted from the Darkening Hunt if a Ranger is in the player’s party. However, players who want a safe weapon to use in the game’s perilous final battle, the Longbow +2 can become a nifty secondary armament that may be more dependable compared to other effect-heavy varia

With the Druid's intrinsic Wild Shape ability, a Druid 9 Ranger 3 build will be able to summon a Bear companion, then shapeshift into a Bear themselves. It's always good to have more companions on the battlefield, so enemies have more targets to choose from. Having two bears in the party, alongside proper Support companions, makes for a fun and fearsome melee frontline.

The Great Old One Warlock is one of the best Warlock builds because of its access to powerful, battle-turning control spells that complement the class spell list. By binding oneself to a pact with the Great Old One, Warlocks gain the Mortal Reminder passive, which makes enemies Frightened on crits.

In Baldur's Gate 3 , some classes don't have many choices to make while leveling thanks to the lack of spells, like the Rogue or Monk. Warlocks are not like other spellcasters in BG3 because they have limited spell slots that refresh every short rest instead of long one, and are mostly reliant on Cantrips which can be empowered with Eldritch Invocations.

When not in melee combat Taunting enemies, Circle of the Moon Druids can rely on their other spellcasting skills . For the most part, though, a Circle of the Moon Druid thrives taking on enemies face-to-face rather than in ranged combat. Abilities like Thorn Whip, Entangle, and Shillelagh keep it going close-quarters when out of Wild Shape form.

The Githyanki are a powerful race option for a number of classes thanks to its powerful racial spells granted at levels one, three, and five, as well as the Astral Knowledge ability. Astral Knowledge grants the Warlock proficiency in one ability's related skills, which pairs extremely well with the Warlock's innately high Charisma.

The Great Old One eeks ahead of The Fiend because of its more battle-influential spells . Compared to The Archfey, many differences between the two patrons are mostly aesthetic as they both can control combat very well.

In addition to everything you unlock while leveling as a Warlock, your Subclass also determines what you unlock at certain levels. As a Warlock, you can select a subclass at Level 1, in the character creation menu.
