BG3 - The BEST PARTY Members & PARTY SYNERGY Guide - ALL ROLES in ONE GROUP! Tactician Ready

Would love a video of how a regular fight would go with a party like this.

Great decision by larian to make companions so respecable. It's one of the issues I had with other crpgs like pillars and pathfinder. I liked some of the companions, but couldn't use them because they didn't fit in my party.

thgis is easily the best BG3 buold channel, thank yuo for not waffling and just going into the emat and bones ur so goated

In my opinion, the best imba party is 2 melee, 1 sorc and 1 cleric. You can find it on the net, 2h melee builds are incredibly powerful, I defeated the 2-ball boss in Baldurs Gate in 2 rounds without removing it from the stand, even though it was a single meleem. There is no need to explain Sorceror, Cleric is very strong both offensively and defensively. I played with Astarion because I liked it, but if you want easy mode, definitely shake Astarion and get the 2nd melee. Unfortunately, rogues do not scale at all in end game.

Great Video, only wish they kept it real and stuck with RTWP instead of turn-based but I am guessing that Lariens fault LOL

love the videos any suggestions on a version for evil or durges?

What are the spells that you show with the sorc? 😅 ty!

> best party composition

All bards is the only valid answer, anything else is unacceptable (only half joking btw)

I don't think ranged characters are better just by virtue of being a ranged dps. Quite the opposite, in fact. Save for the dual Crossbow build, almost all ranged characters are Spell Slot-dependant and will require a lot more rests to function. And even then, I do think they're behind on damage when compared to (some) melee dps. Movement distance isn't a factor at all for me, because of Longstringer, Haste etc.
You don't even need to multiclass to see that. My lvl 12 deep Fighter Karlach deals about 40 damage per hit currently, and with Elixir of Bloodlust and Haste that's another three attacks per effect due to Fighters awesome scaling through their Improved Extra Attack. Even without Haste, that's easily 200+ damage per turn, without any Spell Slots I have to spent. Similar numbers for an 8 Open Hand Monk/4 Thief.

I made a few changes but the strategy is basically the same, my main character is the turret bard, shadowheart is the same, I made gale a divination wizard and instead of astarion I took a berserker tavern brawler throwing karlach.

I think I committed a crime turning my Shadowheart into a bard, but I really needed a bard to synergies with my monk

i cant believe i wasnt subscribed to you before this, fixed that. Is there a similar video for wrath of the righteous "best party" kind of thing.

Arrive on you channel today. You got a new subscriber my man. By the way, seu sotaque é brasileiro?

Respec the entire party into bards. Divine and arcane spells can be picked up as a college of lore magic secret so Shadowheart and Gale are not required. You can get expertise in sleight of hand so Astarian can be skipped. 4 songs of short rest, 20 instances of bardic inspiration (per short rest, 120 per long rest), and a full four piece band.

Do you recommend any other of your front line builds instead of Tank/Support if it’s being paired with the Stormlord (was thinking Shadowheart), dual crossbows (Astarion), and Draconic sorcerer (MC)? Would the Lazeal fighter build or Wyll smiter build work in its place?

Presumably you want to start Gale Sorc as Sorc to grab the Constitution saving throw proficiency? Then take Wiz on 2, then continue with Sorc?

Asterion and Shadowheart are always in my group... Rogue and Cleric. Tank is Paladin Tav. Empty slot goes to any companion (i play with everyone) but most thematically side/main quests (eg duke rescue? Wyll; things about Gortash? Karlach; Githyanki stuff? Laezel... so on).

Going to give these builds a try in my modded tactician campaign! Great guides man!

Relevant mods (if anyone cares): Tactician plus (300% enemy hp, +6 to attack/saving throws), stronger bosses, lethal ai, random enemy buffs (all enemies get 1-3 random buffs at the start of combat, depending on level), To compensate I have 20% xp less to level up, and 2 extra feats early on.

Damn, that's pure powergaming right there. For my first playthrough I'd rather stick with more varied setups to switch party composition from time to time

Went with a monk "Pulls out heavy armored character with a shield". xD

I am so glad that someone is doing party build to show some synergies and tactics.
Luckily, race doesn't matter any more and companions can be remade , because I really, really hate Astarian 😊.
Great video as always, thank you.

NIce video but from my experience it's just better to just go 4 paladins/monks and one-shot every boss.

some videos of the party doing a fight, to see more tacticts, attack order, buff/debuffs etc would be super interesting

Have you already posted that main character build?

Hopefully there's a decent 6 party members mod n I can play on a harder diff..

I suggest a skill monkey for the MC not because it's good in battle but because it is not. The build i use can pass any check. Proficiency in all skills + 7 exercises. I think my min roll for persuasion is 21. I also have advantage the check as well. As for battle i think my Spell dc is 31 so i can land any spell and if they pass they have to get through cutting words and lucky. I can elaborate more if you are interested. I think it's important to have the outer battle things covered as well.

That’s my team in tactictian mode right now, though i use karlarch thrower instead of astarion since she can also provide huge amount of dmg in large area thanks to the legendary weap (though it can friendly fire). My main character is summoner so I don’t have any issue on enemies trying to breakthrough to my backline (unless they use misty step) and so much healing power from water myrmidon or dmg potential from fire myrmidon

I'm doing basically the same, but my MC is taking Gale' role, since i wanted a character with high CHA, and I'm using Lae'Zel as a full Fighter build 😅

Exactly ! My team was always Shadow, Astarion and Gale,. Wis,Dex,Int/cha . And my character, a Duergar Sorcerin Str/Cha. Amazing balance !

Thank you, and love your content!

With this party como the main char won t be the face of the party right? Would be Gale? Astarian as the monk só you could go with the bard build and be the face no?

Regarding Gale build start with lvl 1 wizard and then follow the build guide right?

Finally! Thank you! Holy Trinity like Seelah, Sosiel and Camellia from Pathfinder WOTR.
I have like this approach:
1. Tank support. Life Domain Cleric 1/Sorcerer 3/ Lore Bard 8. Twin Haste and then focus on healing. Help with Cantrip like Fire Bolt now and then.
2. Spell DC or Spell Attack gear build. Sorlock or your Dragon Sorcerer etc.
3. Crit gear build. Gloom Stalker Ranger 5/Champion Fighter 4/Thief Rogue 3.
4. Non gear dependent build. Something that have focus on Smites like Paladin 2/Fighter 2/Bard 8 (or Sorcerer). In one playthrough I did Paladin 8/Barbarian 4.

I had the Impression Astarion is not compatible with Gale, as they are contrary in moral decisions. Astarion is evil chaotic, and Gale is good righteous. And Shadowheart is only romancable if your decisions are good. I mean, who lets Shadowheart go unromanced?

I love that u dish out so many vids so frequently, do u perhaps have an editor?

Can you make a video building those characters? at level and as a team. thank you very much, what a great team

I used exactly same companion as you suggest on my first run! Astalion for range burst damage and dex check, Gale for aoe and int check, Shadowhear for frontline support and wisdom check.

Cleric suck ass, healing is weak in this game especially early game and when you get stronger healing spells you already don't need them, cause you know what is better then healing... DMG when you can burst enemies in 1-2 turns, you don't need healing. Bless and other supporting spell are fine in early game, in late you have high enough attack roll and saving. And for what you have 8 of 12 spells which needs concentration, if you can actually use only one and that is Spirit guardians. She's not even debuffer without equip, only good cause radiant dmg. Best classes are Pal, Monk, Druid, Sorc, maybe Bard. Best for multiclassing Fighter (Battle master > Champion), Rogue - Thief.

My main character uses your swordsbard build and astarion uses rogue+ranger and it literally melts bosses lol. early game i killed the hag before she could tp out of the house you first see her.

While I like the builds on their own as a MC. All the builds you have in this video are using they all get the hag +1. For a video about party composition this doesn't really work that well.

Really appreciate this upload! Covering as much ground as possible with 3 characters is a great idea. Now I can still have fun testing your other builds with my MC, or with whatever cool gear I find in game.

My own comp is. Main char: 6 bard, 4 thief, 2 fighter dual crossbow. Shadowheart light cleric tank. Gale pure wizard magic missile type. Wyll 2 Warlock, 6 sorc, 4 thief eldritch blast type.

Imo the game's too easy with even one character if you make them even somewhat properly; I'm kind of saddened by that.

Or we could go 4 halfling barbarians, those seemed to work fine :D

...why is your main character going commando?

You only need a good cleric and a good Wizard/Sorc, really.

I am stricking with Wizard Gale because, well I prefer Int over Cha.

While, summoner sounds fun. I just found it's annoying. Hence, I play a CC divination Wizard.

Regarding AC my highest one is only 27, and that enough to clear Tactician.

I kinda dissagree on Asterion not because the build. but because his contents are almost irrelevant for majority of campaign.

Meanwhile, Lae'zel has many good contents + Githyanki Equipments.

So my top 3 picks are ShadowHeart, Gale and Lae'zel.

for an all-around purpose build for Shadowheart, would you recommend equipping the armor of agility for more AC or the luminous armor for the radiant orb effect by default?

Would a bard be worth it over the ranger? As for lockpicks nothing beats breaking down the door

Why not put a shield on Astarion? He doesn't melee anyway and its +3AC
