Baldur’s Gate 3: 12 Best Multiclass Builds
In the world of *Baldur's Gate 3*, inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons rule set, players can embark on adventures with characters directly from their personal D&D campaigns. The challenge of a Mindflayer invasion and the threat of an Illithid parasite transforming characters into Mindflayers creates a thrilling, time-sensitive quest to save the Forgotten Realms. While single-class characters are viable, multiclass combinations unlock incredibly flexible and powerful builds.
Multiclassing allows players to combine the best aspects of different D&D classes, creating multifaceted warriors capable of overcoming any obstacle. With Larian Studios soon introducing 12 new subclasses, the possibilities for unique and powerful character builds are expanding even further. However, even before these new subclasses arrive, there are several compelling multiclass setups worth exploring, as the game's multiclass dynamic will likely shift significantly with the addition of subclasses like the Swashbuckler and Oath of Conquest.

12. Lockadin Staple (Ancients Paladin 7, Fiend Warlock 5)
This build leverages the synergistic relationship between the Warlock and Paladin classes. The Warlock's powerful utility and CHA-based abilities compensate for the Paladin's lack of utility spells, while the Paladin's heavy armor proficiency and offensive capabilities (Divine Smite, Extra Attack) enhance the Warlock's damage output. Short-rest spell slots from the Warlock allow for devastating Divine Smite combinations alongside long-range Eldritch Blast attacks.

11. God of Thunder (Storm Sorcerer 10, Tempest Cleric 2)
This thematically resonant build combines the Storm Sorcerer's raw power with the Tempest Cleric's combat proficiencies. While the Cleric levels primarily provide heavy armor and martial weapon proficiencies, the key features are Wrath of the Storm (a reaction dealing significant lightning or thunder damage) and Destructive Wrath (maximizing lightning or thunder damage from spells). This creates a potent combination for dealing elemental damage.
