Multiclassing is one of the best ways to increase your character’s power in BG3. Here are the multiclass requirements and best multiclass builds in BG3.
Choosing to multiclass in Baldur’s Gate 3 is an extremely powerful tool that allows you to gain access to abilities from multiple classes at once. But, like in Dungeons and Dragons, multiclassing can also limit your character’s ultimate potential. Thankfully, multiclassing your character and then respeccing if you don’t like it is a very simple process, so you can experiment as much as you want.
In this Baldur’s Gate 3 guide, we’ll teach you how to multiclass; explain the multiclass requirements for, and pros and cons of, multiclassing; and suggest some of the best multiclass builds.How to multiclass in BG3
You can multiclass in Baldur’s Gate 3 as early as level 2, and there are no restrictions on which classes you can combine together — although some obviously play much better together than others.
When you level up, look for a button in the top right of the level up panel (on the left side of your screen). You’re looking for a button that has an ax and a staff crossed on it, with a plus symbol sitting above it. If you click that button, the game will open a panel that shows how many levels you have in each class. From there, you can select a new class and level up in that instead of in your main class.
The next time you level up, you’ll see a new display that shows your two classes and their respective levels. You’ll then be able to select between the two of them or add a third subclass. Now I don’t recommend getting into more than two classes for a single character (unless you’re going for the Jack-of-all-Trades achievement) but there’s nothing actually stopping you from putting a single level into all 12 classes.Should you multiclass in BG3?
Multiclassing is a very complex decision in Baldur’s Gate 3, and you’ll need to weigh the pros and cons as you’re putting your build together.
The positives are fairly obvious. By deciding to multiclass you can:
Combine class features together to make truly busted combinations
Shore up some of the weaknesses of your main class
Gain more resources that benefit your main class, like additional spell slots
Fulfill a really cool roleplay fantasy of a heavy armored mage or a raging barbarian monk
Get even more attacks per turn
The drawbacks, however, are a bit more nuanced.
Making the decision to multiclass at all means your main class will never reach level 12, which is the max level in the game. Because of this, you might miss out on some truly amazing features, depending on your class and subclass. You’ll need to weigh that against the amazing feature combos you can get from combining with a second class.
