In character creation, you gain the basics for the Fighter class, then steadily gain Feat Choices, new spells and abilities, subclass features, and increase your Proficiency Bonus.


The Dragon Age series is one of BioWare's biggest franchises that has gone on to help the studio become a household name. The first game is touted by many as one of the best Western RPGs of all time, while the second game does have its fair share of fans, even if its attempts to cater to a casual player base didn't resonate with the series' fans.

Each of Baldur's Gate 3 's available classes provides different abilities to the character, both in combat and when exploring the world, and subclasses are a way of further diversifying a character's skills and capabilities. With a few exceptions, each class has three subclasses to choose from.

In baldur's Gate 3 Without shadowheart 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.

Players looking to emphasize their Druid's shapeshifting ability will want to take the Circle of the Moon as their subclass. At level 2, when Druids select their subclass, the Circle of the Moon grants the druid the Combat Wildshape ability and access to a special ability called "Lunar Mend." Combat Wildshape allows the Druid to transform as a bonus action instead of a full action, allowing them easy access to their shapeshifting abilities during combat encounters. They can shapeshift twice per short rest, allowing them a total of six transformations between long rests.

At level three, the Druid learns "Blindness" and "Detect Thoughts" as additional spells which are always prepared. This allows them to temporarily blind their foes and read minds with ease. At level four, they learn an additional cantrip. Level 5 has them learn "Animate Dead" and "Gaseous Form," letting them create undead allies from nearby corpses and transform someone into a gaseous entity to move through tight spaces and/or better evade damage.

Wizards get to choose two skills from a list of six at character creation, including Arcana, History, Investigation, Insight, Medicine, and Religion. Choosing the Sage background removes History and Arcana from the pool of other skill proficiencies Wizards can learn at Level 1, leaving four choices remaining, while Guild Artisans just lose Insight.

All Wizards get access to a list of ridiculously useful out-of-combat spells, but Evocation Wizards specifically hone in on their ability to dish out massive damage in a short amount of time. All Wizards suffer from the lack of easily rechargeable spell slots, but Evocation Wizards can put these limited slots to good use – plus, Arcane Recovery can help when a Long Rest isn't possible.

In the Early Access version of Baldur's Gate 3 , there were only two subclasses (or Schools) of Wizard to choose from: Evocation, and Abjuration. Because Evocation focuses almost exclusively on damage output, it tends to be the best Wizard build to follow . Even though the full version of the game has quadrupled the number of available subclasses for Wizards, Evocation remains on top as the best pure Wizard build in BG3 .

Players hoping to minmax their Bladesinging Wizard build should probably visit the Mirror of Loss during Act 3 , found in the Cloister of Sombre Embrace. This provides +2 to a stat, in exchange for reducing another stat by 2. Using this, it becomes possible to get both dexterity and intelligence to 20, which makes a Bladesinging Wizard much more potent. Until you reach Act 3, we recommend getting Dexterity to 18 and wearing the Graceful Cloth robe, purchased from Lady Esther on the Rosymorn Monastery Trail in Act 1. Use this robe to raise your Dexterity to 20 until you can get to the Mirror of Loss in Act 3. If you want the stat you lost back, you can have a party member cast Remove Curse on you to get it back without losing the bonus.
