At level 11, Wild Magic Sorcerers get the feature "Controlled Chaos," giving foes near the sorcerer a chance to trigger a Wild Magic Surge when casting spells. This extends the chaos they cause and can potentially cause serious harm to enemy spellcasters, though it also has a decent chance of helping them out

This chart displays everything you can expect to get at each Level-Up as a Druid in your Baldur's Gate 3 journey. The only level when you do not get anything Druid-related specifically is from Level 10 to Level 11.

So, when making a Crowd-Control build players could consider mixing at least five levels of Nature Domain Cleric with a class that has access to some, or all, of the aforementioned spells (Cloudkill requires level 9 of Wizard, Sorcerer, Circle of Spores Druid, or Circle of Land Druid with Swamp or Underdark chosen at level 9, so players will need another character to learn that spell). Sorcerers are particularly useful due to their access to Metamagic, allowing players to quicken or extend their spells.

One of the best features of the Wizard class is its ability to learn abilities from scrolls, but this ability becomes more powerful when paired with another Prepared Spellcaster class, like the Cleric. This multiclass Wizard build is not one that focuses on the Wizard, as only one level is needed to learn from scrolls. Instead, it opts for 11 levels in Cleric, leaving just one in Wizard.

At Level 5, Oathbreakers gain "Crown of Madness" and "Darkness" as additional prepared spells , allowing them to get enemies to attack their allies and create fields of darkness to conceal their allies. Level 7 Oathbreakers gain an "Aura of Hate," which lets them add their Charisma modifier to damage rolls. It also lets them extend this benefit to undead or fiend allies within 3m.

The Druid's unique class feature Wild Shape is the backbone of this class, though its spell list is quite formidable in both offensive and defensive capacities. Even if you want to make a melee-only Druid (as this best Bg3 tournament Druid build guide will elaborate on), spells are still an important part of the class rotation.

Paladins of the Oath of the Crown swear themselves to the ideals of Civilization, of Law and Order. Oath of the Crown Paladins will violate their oath if they break their word, take unlawful actions, or torture people. At first level, they get the Channel Oath ability "Righteous Clarity", which can be used to give a target a bonus to their attack rolls equal to the target's proficiency bonus. While this doesn't sound too crazy, it can be a very effective and efficient way of improving an ally's chance to hit.

Level two gives them "Knowledge of the Ages," allowing them to choose a stat and gain proficiency in all skills associated with it by spending an action and a "Channel Divinity" charge. This can make them a very versatile character who can adapt to difficult situations with ease.

When looking for some endgame armor, you could consider the Helldusk Armor acquired from the House of Hope. Getting the full set means facing off with Raphael and his incredible boss music, so it's highly recommended. The Helldusk Armor makes you fire-resistant, immune to burns, inflicts burns on casters if you succeed in the saving throw against their spell, reduces all damage you take by 3, and allows you to fly. The Helldusk Boots can be found on the top floor of Wyrmrock Fortress, providing the wearer with fiery teleportation and immunity to being forcibly moved by enemy spells and actions. They also let you spend a reaction to change a failed saving throw into a success, helping you shrug off dangerous effects and trigger the Helldusk Armor's burn effect. Add in the Helldusk Helmet (Also found in the House of Hope) to gain immunity to critical hits, immunity to being blinded, and to deal extra fire damage against any target that is burning. Alternatively, Sarevok's Helmet could be an excellent choice, reducing the target number for landing a Critical Hit to facilitate even more damage. You can find Sarevok's Helmet by defeating Sarevok at the Murder Tribunal.

In Baldur's Gate 3 , Wizard builds can be enhanced further with the use of specific consumables. Certain potions, like the Elixir of Battlemage's Power, will grant combat-oriented bonuses for this best Wizard build, while others, like the Potion of Angelic Slumber, will make it easier to cast more spells more often by restoring Spell Slots.
