For the purposes of this article, I am going to talk about the class that can just get the most done in combat. Yes, BG3 offers amazing roleplay possibilities, but it also lets us put boot to cheek on a regular basis, so let's talk about who can kick the most ass. What is the strongest class in BG3? Baldur's Gate 3 is largely based on the Dungeons and Dragons system, which means that much of the knowledge from that game is transferable. The part that folks don't often realize about the game is that it can't possibly contain everything from the sprawling tabletop system and the endless books that have been added to it over time. So, let's dive in and figure out which class can carry the hardest in the system that Larian Studios has given us. 5 - Sorcerer Sorcerers are an odd bunch who very much fall into the class cannon category of characters. If you are confident that you can read a battlefield and position well, few classes can put out the kind of damage that Sorcerers can get up to. Keep enemies off them, and it is likely that a Sorcerer can clear house faster than any other class after they get a few levels on them. There is a learning curve, and you cannot play them like other casters and expect to get the most for them, but their damage potential just makes them hugely attractive if you like to watch enemies freeze, burn, or sizzle. 4 - Cleric Few classes allow you to mess up quite as hard as the Cleric and get away with it. Eventually, you are going to reach a point in the game where you realize the most important thing to be able to do is simply heal damage in combat. Nobody can do that quite like a cleric. A Life Domain Cleric will get access to all manner of heals, and those heals will be buffed just because they are cast by the Cleric. You also get the Preseve Life ability at level two, allowing you to heal everyone within 30 feet. Keep a Cleric in the heart of the pack, and they can heal themselves or anyone else and keep the fight going. It's an extremely forgiving class, especially as you learn to play the game. 3 - Paladin Heals, armor, damage, and usually a good lore reason to hit things with a mace or large hammer. Paladins can be quite forgiving, allowing you to make mistakes with position or even enemy choice and not pay too badly for it. One of the best things about the Paladin is that you can really lean into making them a specialist at whooping the undead. This will prove to be very useful in the campaign. Paladins can also buff others, heal, and generally turn the tide of battle. The class can also lead to some Oathbreaker-style fun. Break your Oath, and you'll be able to leave the pretense that you cared about the Oath in the first place and just get down to some proper ass-kicking. 2 - Fighter Fighters are extremely versatile, despite having such a heavy focus on melee. They are arguably the most technically proficient warriors in the game. They fight with skill and nuance, cutting down enemies and surviving the kind of damage that would fell other classes. Being able to run good armor, big weapons, sneaky heals from Second Wind, and sneakier additional actions from Action Surge mean you can count on a Fighter to perform well in a clutch situation. Fighters are also very versatile and are proficient with simple and martial weapons, light, medium, and heavy armor, and even shields. If you want to wield a massive two-handed axe or go sword and board style, then the Fighter is for you. Eventually, Fighters can get access to Battle Master moves that will allow them to really have a direct influence on the battlefield. You can set up moments of Advantage for you or party members, do extra damage, distract enemies, or inspire party members to go above and beyond. The Fighter is fantastic for anyone looking to really take advantage of smaller opportunities and turn them into fight-winning moments. 1
