Author: Mila Mar 14,2025

In the world of *Baldur’s Gate 3*, where the threat of a Mindflayer invasion looms large, crafting a powerful and flexible character is key to survival. While sticking to a single class is an option, multiclassing opens up a world of strategic possibilities, allowing you to combine the best abilities from different D&D classes. This guide explores several compelling multiclass combinations, perfect for both seasoned players and newcomers alike. With Larian Studios poised to introduce 12 new subclasses, these builds offer a fantastic starting point before the meta shifts.

Updated on January 13, 2025, by Rhenn Taguiam: The upcoming release of 12 new subclasses in *Baldur’s Gate 3* promises exciting new build possibilities. However, before these subclasses arrive, consider exploring these powerful multiclass combinations. The addition of subclasses like the Swashbuckler and Oath of Conquest will significantly alter the multiclass dynamic, making these pre-subclass builds even more valuable.

12. Lockadin Staple (Ancients Paladin 7, Fiend Warlock 5)

Lockadin Staple Build

This build leverages the synergistic relationship between the Paladin and Warlock classes. The Warlock's powerful utility spells and lack of spell slots complement the Paladin's potent offensive capabilities and heavy armor proficiency. This combination allows for maximizing damage and utility while ensuring excellent survivability. Short-rest spell slots from the Warlock enable devastating Divine Smite nova attacks, while Eldritch Blast provides consistent long-range damage.
