Wondering what the best party combination might be covering all the bases from combat to utility in Baldur’s Gate 3? There are many classes and companions that players can choose from and include in their squad and head out on their quest to explore the Forgotten Realms. And while players with past DnD experience can figure out the roles they or their allies have to fill in according to their campaign, some can get confused with all the options available. So if you are someone who wants to figure out the roles in your party, here is a guide with the top compositions you can try out in BG3.
Best Party Combination for Baldur’s Gate 3
Before going through the list of the best party combinations, it is worth keeping in mind that you can select up to 3 Origin characters in Baldur’s Gate 3. So if you are confused while choosing custom classes in the game, you can always resort to origin characters instead. We leave it up to you with what role you want to fill up in these given party combinations. With that being said, here is a list of all the best compositions you can try out for combat & utility in BG3:
Combat-Based Party Combination
- Lae’zel, Shadowheart, Astarion, Wyll: For this combat-based party, players can fill out the role of Wyll by playing a Warlock or a Sorcerrer with charisma in the campaign.
- Karlach, Shadowheart, Astarion, Gale: If you are a sorcerer or a wizard potentially doing heavy AoE damage and with intelligence in the game, you can swap out places with Gale. You can also add Lae’zel instead of Karlach as both will play out the role of tank sufficiently and have the best party composition in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Utility-Based Party combination
- Astarion, Shadowheart, Wyll, Karlach: With the all-magic party combination of Shadowheart & Wyll for AoE damage and a good support tank like Karlach can turn out to be useful in BG3. Astarion with his sleight of hand and trickery will add a stealth role to the party.
- Astarion, Shadowheart, Wyll, Gale: Another utility class making use of all the magic prowess, but this time without a tank. Players can use this class to enjoy the lore and narrative more in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Best Party Combination for Multiplayer in Baldur’s Gate 3
We would recommend you first try out the classes according to your gameplay to have the best possible party combination in Baldur’s Gate 3. Although if you are looking for a possible all round composition you can try out to see for yourself, then here it is:
- Barbarian
- Cleric
