Unveiling 12 Multiclass Builds for Baldur's Gate 3

Baldur's Gate 3: Unleash Your Inner Deity with These Powerful Multiclass Builds

Baldur's Gate 3, a faithful adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset, allows for incredible character customization. While single-class characters are viable, multiclassing unlocks truly unique and powerful builds. With Larian Studios soon adding 12 new subclasses, the possibilities are about to explode. But even before these additions, several compelling multiclass combinations stand out. Let's explore some of the most effective and thematically interesting options:

1. Lockadin Staple (Ancients Paladin 7, Fiend Warlock 5): The Ultimate Offensive & Defensive Hybrid

This build masterfully blends the Paladin's offensive prowess and defensive capabilities with the Warlock's potent utility spells. The Paladin provides heavy armor proficiency, Divine Smite, and Extra Attack, enhancing the Warlock's already impressive Eldritch Blast damage. The Warlock's short-rest spell slots fuel devastating Divine Smite combos, creating a truly formidable character. See the detailed level-by-level progression below.
