In the world of *Baldur's Gate 3*, where the rules of Dungeons & Dragons reign supreme, players can bring their custom D&D characters to life in Faerûn. Facing a Mindflayer invasion and the threat of an Illithid parasite, players must race against time to save the Forgotten Realms and their very identities. While single-class characters are viable, multiclassing unlocks incredible build flexibility, allowing for powerful and thematic combinations.
With Larian Studios poised to introduce 12 new subclasses, expanding *Baldur's Gate 3*'s gameplay even further, now is a great time to explore the potential of existing multiclass setups. These builds offer unique strengths before the subclass landscape shifts significantly. Let's delve into some must-try multiclass combinations:

Summary
- Multiclassing in *Baldur's Gate 3* offers flexible and powerful character builds.
- Larian Studios' upcoming subclasses will add even more build variety.
- Builds like Lockadin Staple and God of Thunder provide unique thematic combinations and enhanced power.
12 Lockadin Staple (Ancients Paladin 7, Fiend Warlock 5)
This powerful build leverages the synergistic relationship between the Warlock and Paladin classes. The Warlock's potent utility spells and lack of spell slots are perfectly complemented by the Paladin's high damage output and heavy armor proficiency. This combination maximizes damage potential while enhancing survivability. Short rests provide Warlock spell slots, fueling Divine Smites and long-range Eldritch Blasts.
