Baldur's Gate 3 takes heavy inspiration from its Dungeons & Dragons counterpart, to the point that players can combine classes together to create interesting combinations. Unlike the tabletop players, don't need to have specific stats to combine classes and therefore a player has more creative freedom over how they approach battles.
With twelve classes available, there are plenty of different combinations of classes a player can multiclass in Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3). However, some classes are much better suited for each other than others. These are by far the best multiclass combinations in BG3.
8 Rogue & Ranger
Rogues are known for their stealthy nature, which makes them a great choice for those that wish to sneak around and land a critical hit. Meanwhile, Rangers attack from a distance, though they are also likely to catch their opponents by surprise.
Combining these two classes together can make for an incredibly stealthy archer, especially if the player considers the ranger subclasses Hunter or Gloom Stalker, which are naturally more stealth based. Players would be mostly leveling into Rogue to keep their stealth attack critical high.
7 Sorcerer & Warlock
An important factor that a player must keep in mind when combining classes is what their current attributes look like. While players don't require specific attributes to gain a class, this second role can be entirely useless if the player doesn't have the modifiers to support them.
Therefore, in the case of spellcaster classes, players should combine classes that use the same stat as their modifier to cast spells. A great example of this is Sorcerer and Warlock, since they both use Charisma for their magic. This allows a player to have access to even more spells from both, while having just as much power for either of them.
6 Paladin & Ranger
Ranger has already proven to be a great second class for players to level up alongside another. This isn't just the case when playing as a rogue, as even the more tank-like characters can benefit from having some ranged skill.
Multiclassing a Paladin with a Ranger will allow a player to remain one with the holy light, while also giving more versatility. Having the chance to hit enemies from a distance means a player is likely to always be attacking their opponents during their turn.
5 Fighter & Barbarian
Players don't need to only be combining spellcasters or making melee classes more versatile with range. They can even combine pure melee classes for some interesting results. Fighter is arguably one of the best melee classes in the game, especially for those new to Baldur's Gate 3.
Combining the multi-attack capabilities of the Fighter class with the chaotic rage of the Barbarian can allow a tank to deal immense damage to their foes. This is a lot easier to combine than many other classes due, because the two use similar weapons. And the result is magnificent.
4 Druid & Cleric
Like multiclassing Sorcerer and Warlock, Druid and Cleric go well together since both classes use Wisdom as their spell casting modifier. This means that spells from both sides will always do the most amount of damage possible ,as long as the player keeps leveling them up in this direction.
Players can make their Druid into one of the greatest spellcasting tanks possible with this combination. Choosing a Light Domain Cleric will open up the possibility of equipping heavy armor, giving the multiclassed Druid more defense. Players could take this a step further through Circle of the Moon, though any subclass will do perfectly with this combination.
3 Wizard & Fighter
Alternatively, players can combine a spellcaster classes with those that only use melee weapons. This is something a player should plan from the beginning to make sure they have the right stats for it; otherwise, they are likely to be casting some weak spells.
Players should start as a Wizard and then put enough levels into Fighter to obtain multi-attack. This would allow players as a powerful mage to hit more than once while also being able to keep themselves alive using Second Wind.
2 Sorcerer & Paladin
Paladins have a small handful of spells they can use due to the Oath they had taken. However, this hardy class can be made even greater through multiclassing with one of many spellcasting classes. One of the most tempting is Sorcerer, which shares the same spell modifier as the Paladin. This multiclass option gives the Paladin plenty of spells it didn't originally have access to.
Like combining Fighter and Wizard, this allows a spellcaster to have far more defense when it comes to battles, although this time the player would've already had experience using some spells in the past.
1 Barbarian & Bard
Two of the greatest as well as funniest classes to combine in not only Baldur's Gate 3 but also Dungeons and Dragons is Barbarian and Bard. Starting as a Barbarian, players will be using their rage to defend their team. With a couple of levels in Bard, the player canalso support the rest of the party with some incredible tunes while also having access to spells.
A Bardbarian may sound silly, but it can actually be an interesting character to experience, especially since the character will have thecharisma to convince others or the intimidation to force some to do the player's bidding. When all else fails, the player can still return to their rage to dispatch of opponents.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now on PC players. The Playstation 5 release is September 6.
