Updated on November 24, 2024 by Rhenn Taguiam: With Hotfix #29 giving console players of Baldur’s Gate 3 better mod stability and a 100-mod limit, fans of the acclaimed RPG will have a lot of room to tinker with new additions such as effects, weapons, customizations, and other features to add much-needed spice to their experience. However, before players even venture into adding numerous new effects to their gameplay experience, they may want to equip their characters with the best weapons possible - among which include some of the game’s best ranged weapons. These include upgraded versions of weapons, as well as one that would help characters move furt

The best Wizard companions in BG3 are Shadowheart as the primary support of the party, Lae'Zel as your melee tank, and Astarion as another melee party member who can do extremely high damage and provide some use out of combat too.

Savage Attacks lets players add an additional Damage Dice on top of their normal critical hit damage, but only with melee weapon attacks. Relentless Endurance prevents the Fighter from going down, restoring them to 1 HP upon reaching 0, only once per long rest.

The Life Domain is one of four Domains players can choose in BG3 , and it's a fantastic way to build a Cleric thanks to its variety of always-prepared support spells. This leaves players open to pick up other spells when leveling, which gives the Cleric more variety, and makes it one of the most versatile classes in Baldur's Gate 3 .


Created by the Goblin shaman Kirruk Redrats to fight their sworn enemies among the Dwarves and Gnomes, the Blightbringer is built specifically to kill the aforementioned creatures among the enemy ranks. Sold by Entharl Danthelon in Wyrm’s Crossing, long-ranged combatants who wield this Bow can get +1d4 Attack and Damage when fighting Gnomes and Dwarves (Blightbringer). Not only that, but landing a Critical Hit will also Slow down the target (Prey Decelerator), making this extremely potent at the hands of builds that specialize on scoring cr

At level three, Trickery Domain Clerics gain "Mirror Image" and "Pass Without Trace" as Domain Spells, allowing them to increase their AC with illusory clones and give the entire party a +10 bonus to their stealth checks. At this point, the Trickery Domain allows players to make their entire party better at evading notice and can be a fantastic support caster both in and out of combat.

Wizards get to choose two skills from a list of six at character creation, including Arcana, History, Investigation, Insight, Medicine, and Religion. Choosing the Sage background removes History and Arcana from the pool of other skill proficiencies Wizards can learn at Level 1, leaving four choices remaining, while Guild Artisans just lose Insight.
