Baldur's Gate 3: Mastering Multiclass Character Builds

Baldur's Gate 3, a faithful adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons 5e, allows players to create characters directly from their D&D campaigns. Facing a Mindflayer invasion and the threat of Illithid parasitism, players must strategically build their characters to survive. While single-class characters are viable, multiclassing offers unparalleled flexibility and power. With Larian Studios adding 12 new subclasses, the possibilities are even more exciting. Let's explore some compelling multiclass combinations to try before the subclass update significantly alters the game's dynamics.

1. Lockadin Staple (Ancients Paladin 7, Fiend Warlock 5): Optimized Offense and Defense

Lockadin Staple Build

This build leverages the synergistic strengths of Warlock and Paladin. The Warlock's potent utility and damage potential complements the Paladin's superior offense (Divine Smite, Extra Attack) and defensive capabilities (Heavy Armor Proficiency). Short-rest spell slots from the Warlock fuel powerful Divine Smite bursts, while Eldritch Blast provides ranged attacks. The detailed level progression is outlined in the table below.

Level	Class Choice & Features	Total Spells Available
1	Paladin 1: Oath of the Ancients - Divine Sense, Lay on Hands, Channel Divinity: Healing Radiance
2	Paladin 2 - Fighting Style: Great Weapon Fighting, Divine Smite
3	Paladin 3 - Divine Health, Channel Divinity: Nature’s Wrath, Channel Divinity: Turn the Faithless, Oath Spells

2. God of Thunder (Storm Sorcerer 10, Tempest Cleric 2): Elemental Mastery

God of Thunder Build

This build combines the Storm Sorcerer's raw power with the Tempest Cleric's combat proficiencies. The Cleric's Wrath of the Storm provides a reaction-based damage boost, while Destructive Wrath maximizes elemental damage. This creates a potent lightning-themed character. See the table for level-by-level details.

Level	Class Choice & Features	Total Spells Available
1	Sorcerer 1: Storm Sorcerer - Tempestuous Magic, Spells
2	Sorcerer 2 - Metamagic
3	Cleric 1: Tempest Domain - Heavy Armor, Martial Weapons, Wrath of the Storm
4	Cleric 2 - Channel Divinity: Turn Undead, Destructive Wrath
5	Sorcerer 3 - Metamagic
6	Sorcerer 4 - Choose Feat
7	Sorcerer 5
8	Sorcerer 6 - Heart of the Storm
9	Sorcerer 7
10	Sorcerer 8 - Choose Feat

(The remaining builds, Zombie Lord, Dark Sentinel, Traditional Sorcadin, Champion Archer, Frenzy Rogue, Eldritch Nuke, Coffeelock Staple, Stalker Assassin, Silent Death Monk, and Death By Surprise, follow a similar format with images and detailed level progression tables. Due to the length constraint, they are omitted here but can be provided upon request.)

These are just a few examples; the possibilities are vast. Experimentation is key to finding the perfect multiclass build for your playstyle in Baldur's Gate 3. Remember to consider your preferred combat style, desired role within the party, and the overall narrative you wish to create.
