Baldur's Gate 3 allows players to further customize their character via a subclass, selected either at character creation, at level 2 or at level 3, depending on the class. Warlocks choose their subclass during character creation since their subclass indicates what kind of being they made a pact with in exchange for their power. Be it a Fiend, Archfey, or Great Old One, their powers are sourced from dangerous creatures with ulterior motives.


The Shadow Magic Sorcerer draws on the dark power of the Shadowfell to manipulate shadows to their advantage. Initially, this grants them 24m/80ft of Darkvision and the Strength of the Grave ability. This ability will trigger when your hit points are reduced to zero, restoring 1 hit point and preventing you from becoming downed. This only triggers once per long r

The Archfey Warlock makes their pact with a powerful Fey and draws on the capricious and whimsical powers of the Feywild. At level one, they gain the power "Fey Presence," which allows them to frighten or charm all creatures in a 3m range as an action, assuming they fail a Wisdom Saving Throw.

They gain one new spell at level four and then get one more at level seven. They also gain two second-level spells at level seven, further strengthening their spellcasting and offering them access to more potent spells. Level seven is also where Eldritch Knights get "War Magic," allowing them to cast a cantrip and then make a melee attack as a bonus action.

The Nature Domain Cleric is an excellent crowd-control specialist and pairs surprisingly well with other classes that gain access to crowd-control spells. Since Plant Growth isn't a concentration spell, it can stack with several powerful field-creating options. Anything altering the ground will override the Plant Growth, so players should pair it with Darkness, Hunger of Hadar, Fog Cloud, Stinking Cloud, Cloudkill, and Insect Plague for the best results. Combining Plant Growth with Hunger of Hadar, for example, will trap enemies in a field where they can barely move and are constantly taking cold and acid damage, while also rendering them blind.

Level 1 Hexblade Warlocks also receive the "Hexblade's Curse" ability , which curses a target to receive extra damage equal to the Warlock's proficiency bonus whenever the Warlock deals damage to them. It also reduces the number needed to roll a critical hit against that target by 1, and restores HP equal to the Warlock's Proficiency+Charisma Modifier when they kill the cursed target. A Hexblade Warlock gains Shield and Wrathful Smite as level 1 spell options.

At level ten, Goolocks will get "Thought Shield: Psychic Resistance" and "Thought Shield: Psychic Reflection," granting them resistance to psychic damage and automatically dealing psychic damage equal to any psychic damage they do take to their attacker.

Overall, the Hexblade Warlock is easily the best option for a Warlock focusing on melee combat, especially when paired with the Pact of the Blade to gain extra attacks at level 5. Their ability to utilise several useful combat spells, like Wrathful Smite, Shield, and Elemental Weapon, along with their ability to wear medium armour and use shields, makes them uniquely suited to fighting on the front lines. Their lower health pool when compared to most melee classes is offset by their Spectres, who can help to draw some attention off them, and their access to defensive spells like Blink and the aforementioned shield.
