Updated April 6, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 is right around the corner, and though lots of the new subclasses seem like a lot of fun to play, the base game still offers some very powerful options for the best Fighter build in BG3. The Battle Master Fighter is still the best Fighter build in BG3 – but that could change with the release of Patch 8. Until then, stick with this Battle Master Fighter guide to learn the best Fighter build tips, what makes the Battle Master such a powerful subclass for the Fighter, and other information that will help you min-max your Fighter character. This Fighter build guide has been updated to add in-game flavor descriptions of the class and subclass, as well as a new small section with the best consumables for the Fighter, including both potions and elixirs, in the Equipment section.

These allow the Berserker to perform an additional attack or Throw a nearby object/creature, respectively, and each only uses a Bonus Action. This allows the Berserker to dish out extra damage on every turn while raging, making them an excellent choice for players who want to prioritize damage output.

Finally, at tenth level, Giant Barbarians gain access to Mighty Impel. This allows them to throw any creature that is medium-sized or smaller, regardless of their weight, as a bonus action while enraged. The throw range is fixed at 9m/30ft, which usually results in better range when throwing heavy creatures (unless your character has used an Elixir of Cloud Giant Strength to reach 27 Strength).


That said, if players are looking for something a little different, find themselves intimidated by D&D 's complexity, or are simply looking for a graphical analog, interactive Lore System there are several video games out there that channel that classical Dungeons & Dragons charm if they aren't inspired directly from the source material. These games feature massive stories, intricate combat systems, and a wealth of interesting characters in imaginative worlds that encompass everything from classic high fantasy to sci-fi epics and everything in betw


Skyrim is a game that took the world by storm when it was announced, and the game itself captured the hearts of players for hundreds of hours, if not more. Becoming the Dragonborn and laying waste to their enemies made for an amazing power fantasy, with players starting out very weak before slowly enhancing their power and becoming so powerful that even towering giants couldn't take them

If you are dead set on including a character in your party, simply talk to Withers to respec them to one of the optimal Fighter companion classes listed above. This way, you won't miss out on that character's questline, and you won't have to suffer from an improperly balanced party.

These all have their own bonuses and drawbacks, but ultimately the Great Weapon Fighting style is best because it simply increases the baseline amount of damage every Two-Handed weapon can do. However, the Defence style is good for Fighters who will spend a lot of time in close combat.

No matter which way one takes a Sorcerer, though, they all have the ability to use Metamagic , and Sorcery Points, to influence their spells. Metamagic can twin spells, make them more likely to hit, change their range, and even allow Sorcerers to cast spells while Silenced.


Players looking for the best ranged weapons in Baldur’s Gate 3 don’t necessarily need complicated armaments to accomplish their needs, especially when the Hand Crossbow +2 can achieve a damage output close to the performance of regular Cantrips with unique Weapon Actions. Acquired from a wall vault inside Lady Jannath’s Estate, the Hand Crossbow +2 can be the perfect companion for a Spellcaster who wants an actual weapon they can rely on or a perfectly-functional ranged armament for the long-distance combat
