Barbarians are enormous damage dealers and are one of the simplest classes to get to grips with. Here’s how to build the ultimate Barbarian:
Choose a Shield Dwarf for your Race
Choose the Soldier background
Select proficiencies in Athletics, Survival and Intimidation skills
Select the Berserker subclass (that is the “Let Me RAGE!!” class)
You’ll need Two-Handed Weapon Specialization
If you want to add multiclassing in your playthrough, we’d recommend adding some points in the fighter and barbarian classes.
This build revolves around the Berserker subclass because of the enormous damage increase from the frenzy, and the ability to attack not only on a bonus action but also more minor characters or heavier objects into an abyss, lava, or anywhere your character can see.
If you’re looking to make a true tank, that’s where the Shield Dwarf Race comes in with the race traits “Dwarven Resilience” and “Greater Weapon Proficiencies” to make this Rage barbarian even stronger.
Remember that you can change your race to one that you feel will work better for this build. If you don’t like using the way your Shield Dwarf looks, you can change their appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3 for more details.

Bards are the ultimate support class, with traits and qualities that both buff allies and debuff enemies, making the class a force to reckon with in-game with multiclassing.
Choose Elf or Half-Elf as the race
Add the Guild Artisan background
Choose the Bard class
Choose the College of Lore subclass
Put your skills into charisma
If you’re looking to multiclass, you can increase your Bard’s strength and spell list by multiclassing into a Paladin. This will give you access to offensive Smite spells and defensive healing spells.
This build is definitely more support-focused, and it is because you are not only buffing your party, but also debuffing the enemy with spells like ”Cutting Words” that gives enemies lower attack roles, which in the long run is very useful.
They key to the best Baldur’s Gate 3 party is for it to be as balanced as possible. A party full of Barbarians really won’t get you very far. It’s worth checking out the best companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 so you know how to build the best party.

This build goes all in the support and healing roles of the Cleric. It mainly focuses on healing and the sort of spells the Cleric has access to at higher levels. There is only a real need for multiclassing if you want to add some damage spells to the kit. Still, other party members will fill those damage-dealing points up, making it unnecessary.
Choose High Elf for your race – this will give you the Fey Ancestry skill
Choose the Cleric class
Add Life Domain as your subclass
Life Domain Clerics have some of the best healing spells in the game. This makes them you a powerful support character for your party. It’s worth mentioning that if you plan to travel with Shadowheart, you won’t need another Life Domain cleric in your party.
