What Is A Multiclass Build In BG3?

In Baldur’s Gate 3, players have the freedom of multiclassing. It simply means picking one primary class and later adding a secondary one. The downside for the secondary class is that you will not get as many proficiencies and bonuses as you would if it were a primary class.

• Once you are ready to multiclass in Baldur’s Gate 3, you must open the “+” icon on the top left of the class addition table.
• You will see an option to “add class,” where you can add another class to your character.
• However, the secondary class will begin from level 1.
• Later on, you can only level up one class at a time.
• Therefore, you can level up only once if you have Rogue level one and Bard level one.

15. Monk & Cleric

If you want a high dexterity build, perhaps the Monk and Cleric multiclass will do the trick. The multiclass mainly revolves around using Heavy Armor, which will let you frontline with little to no damage. 

As you level up Cleric to level 10 and Monk to level 2, you will be able to get Wisdom for your Armor Class, Disengage as a bonus action, additional move speed, and Life Domain subclass for Cleric. The only downside you may face from the Monk and Cleric Multiclass is that you may find Cleric slowing down in need of rest.

14. Paladin & Bard

From the impression of BG3, it seems that Bard is a very dedicated class. However, if you level up Bard to level 5, you can get the most from both classes. With level 7 Paladin, you can double the mid-defensive build and mostly high-offensive. With the Paladin and Bard multiclass, you can get constant bonus actions, Bardic Inspiration, and the Healing Word. 

13. Fighter & Warlock

If you want a multiclass that will let you supplement an Eldritch Knight or a Champion while keeping three attacks and a solid cantrip, then the Fighter and Warlock multiclass is definitely the best in BG3. By choosing the Eldritch Knight path, you can perform a combination of three Eldritch Blasts and one Weapon Attack in a single turn, dealing damage through four separate sources when you’ve also applied the Hex spell to your target.

12. Fighter & Ranger

Players who prefer dealing high damage from afar should definitely go for the Fighter and Ranger multiclass. With Fighter level 3 and Ranger level 9, you can get Colossus Slayer with Hunter subclass. Apart from that, you will also get Entangling Strike, Champion, and Action Surge.

11. Rogue & Ranger

If your goal is to conclude battles swiftly, you can achieve it by strategically managing your actions. With the Rogue and Ranger multiclass, you can eliminate many opponents before they even can act, potentially taking out half of them before their turn arrives. The ideal level choices are to keep the Rogue at level 4 and the Ranger at level 8.

10. Rogue & Bard

With Rogue, you will be able to have proficiency in four skills. Moreover, as you multiclass into a College of Lore, Bard will provide you with proficiency in the other three skills. Furthermore, if you add two more skill proficiencies through anyone’s background, you will have a total of 9 Skills. However, this build for the Rogue and Bard multiclass can be very difficult to use properly.

9. Barbarian & Fighter

Players who focus mainly on strength ability must go for the Barbarian and Fighter Multiclass as their primary focus is Strength Ability. Moreover, if you utilize the Fighter’s kit well, you can push the Rage limits of Barbarian. The ideal level choice for the Fighter is level 8, and the Barbarian is level 4.

8. Ranger & Paladin

Ever since the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, players have figured out the importance of keeping Paladin as a second class and leveling up along the way. To remain one with the holy light, it is important for players to multiclass a Ranger build with a Paladin build. The most efficient combo is a Level 10 Paladin with a Level 2 Ranger.

7. Rogue & Fighter

In the Rogue and Fighter Multiclass, you will have a greater synergy due to Rogue’s wide range of skill coverage. Apart from skills, in case Rogue cannot keep up its duty, the Fighter class can provide a wider array of options due to their proficiency in medium armor. I would recommend keeping the Rogue at level 10 for damage and the Fighter at Level 2 for higher sustain.

6. Warlock & Sorcerer

It is quite obvious that two diamonds are better than one. Hence, if you look at the individual attributes of Warlock and Sorcerer, you will realize the importance of their individual modifiers. The Sorcerer can use some of the best level 1 spells in Baldur’s Gate 3, making you powerful relatively early on. The Warlock gives you the defense that Sorcerers lack early on.

5. Cleric & Druid

The Cleric and Druid build is one of the best multiclass options BG3. Unlike the previous multiclass, the Cleric and Druid’s spell-casting modifier is based on the usage of Wisdom. Therefore, their spells will mostly deal high damage the higher level they are. I like keeping the Druid at Level 10 for high defense and the Cleric at Level 2 for sustain and damage.

4. Fighter & Wizard

Apart from combining the spell classes such as Cleric and Druid or Warlock and Sorcerer, players can also go for the best multiclass of melee and casters in BG3. However, for this multiclass, you must plan ahead from the beginning to have the correct stats from the start. I would recommend going for a Level 10 Wizard for more damage and a Level 2 fighter for the armor and defense stats.

3. Barbarian & Rogue

With Barbarian and Rogue, you can pair extra attacks with Berserker’s Frenzy, doubling the bonus damage and dealing heavy blows to the enemy. This multiclass is my second favorite build because you can manage to play out sneak attacks and obliterate key targets. The best example I can give you is fighting Balthazar in the Temple of Shar. Ideally, you want to keep the Barbarian at level 5 for Frenzy and Rogue at level 7 for increased stealth.

2. Paladin & Sorcerer

With the Oath taken by the Paladins, they can use some of the spells in Baldur’s Gate 3. So, multiclassing it with Sorcerer build will become one of the toughest multiclass in BG3. Since Paladin cannot access all the spells, multiclassing it with Sorcerer will open a room full of new spells for Paladin. Not only does this cover the defense of the Sorcerer, but it also boosts the Charisma of Paladins for better skill checks.

1. Bard & Barbarian

The best multiclass is perhaps the multiclass of Bard and Barbarian. For that, you will need to begin as a Barbarian class. To defend the team, using Rage will be the best option. Not only that, Bard, with its spells, can also provide good defense from enemies. Not only can you skip most fights with this build, but you remain unphased by most fights if you do resort to violence.

My Experience And Thoughts Using Multiclasses

In my experience of playing BG3 for more than dozens of hours, the combo that stood out to me was the Paladin and Sorcerer build. I love Sorcerers, and I hate Paladins, but somehow, they are the perfect Yin and Yang. The best of the Sorcerer buffs the Paladin and also takes the “Noble Knight” a few notches down. The Paladin makes sure the Sorcerer doesn’t die in one hit.

Multiclass is one of the most fun mechanics in BG3. It only adds to the game’s versatility and makes it that much more fun to play again and again. There are builds that go from creating the perfect super soldier to making the most uncharismatic Bard of all time.

All in all, these are the best 15 multiclass builds in BG3. The ranking is subjective, and the importance of any multiclass really depends on the players’ game style and preference. Therefore, if you want to use spells, you can go for Cleric and Druid or Warlock and Sorcerer, and a combination of melee and spell can be of Fighter and Wizard.
