3 OP Paladin Builds in Baldurs Gate 3

1K damage in a turn like and it's not maximum it's like medium you can do around 1.5k damage in a turn actually welcome to baldos Gate 3 guys today I will show you three Paladin builds one of them is really strong one is just strictly op and last one it's very fun but we strong at the same time too so without further Ado let's start with the first one when creating Paladin it's not important what race you pick you can pick whatever you like I like picking Orcs as my paladins if I want really strong op paladins because Orcs will get Savage attack future to increase Critical Strike power and most importantly they get second life so they can can go go in basically and die and R thems one time and that's nice so when CH Palin my favorite old will be o of Vengeance and we will create this time three builds with o of Vengeance if you like devotion Eng I got this builds too and of course I got o breaker Paladin too so o of Vengeance basically we get an Inquisitor might so we did an additional s damage and we can dat enemies for one turn and very nice stuff using bonus action using CH O's charge basically as bonus action you doing more damage very cool future so abilities starting abilities for Paladin we want to focus on strength and Charisma Charisma is our like spell casting modifier so it will increase power of our spells most importantly of our Smite not directly but actually it will give you more spell slots if you're play in Paladin so second chots is of course strength because you can't use Smite every attack anyway you need to be able to attack few times with your strength and now you want to start with some dexterity most of the time and then just roll your stats with Withers and uh just drop your dxterity you don't need it because when you're playing Paladin you want to go for like heavy armor and be like super strong machine and we focus on Constitution instead so 14 in Constitution very nice start then depending on your choice you can Round Up dexterity to 10 so you're not losing a lot of initiative you can Round Up wisdom to 10 again you're not losing too much you don't having penalty against some like semi throws or you can go like full wisdom or like 12 into dexterity for high initiative it's your choice but strength Charisma and Constitution main start so let's go Paladin is created now it's time to make three builds first build will be is our Smite Adin or Kadin so second level you can pick fighting style and for fight fighting style you want to pick great weapon fighting and a spalin you want to use this great weapons like big swords big axes big hammers wherever you will find this basically will give you an ability to roll your damage when you're rolling damage for two-handed weapon and this will basically improve your damage overall so prepared spells on level one basically a paladin you don't need too much you want to use your spell slots mostly for your smites but just in case you can use some like command sometime you need it you can use searing Smite you can use compelling to sometime most of the time you will use sering Smite and basically spells doesn't matter for this built at all we are like fully smited in so now we're going to level three that's my favorite level of wance Paladin because we got this stuff wo and Min so you gain an advantage on aut cross against enemy for 10 turns without concentration using only bonus action basically what it's doing you fighting against strong boss with high armor class you use it you gain advantage on attack RS and you will attack a lot more often and then you can use Hunter Mark with vengeance so you will do additional damage very nice stuff so very like powerful damage in Paladin basically so next up we get into level four no need to use repaired spells and right now we can instantly pick this awesome great weapon Master Feit this is passive you can turn it on or off basically it will give you penalty to Artic rolls but you will inflict more damage 10 flat damage each attack very nice very cool stuff because uh as like Vengeance Paladin you will get access to this W enmity and basically you will get advantage on atrs so you're kind of neglecting this penalty from minus five very nice stuff additionally at level five you gain magic weapon so you can use concentration on your weapon and you will have additional plus one to attack and damage roll very nice stff gain additionally hold person very nice spell and Misty step awesome spell so as Paladin you're got low dexterity you know you kind of got low initiative you need to reposition yourself a lot so using Misty step as bonus action just to reposition yourself with spell slot number two and attacking is very cool stuff and on level five you're gaining extra attack so next up we going to level six and that's where you need to think about role of this Paladin in your party if your role is kind of like secondary damage bro you know 10K guy who is uh damaging two in the mil combat but he is like secondary mil like bro basically your character so 3 m around him you will get hour of protection which will give bonus to saving throws based on your charisma so it will add plus three to saving throws that's very cool stuff if you got melee party so if your party consist of melee characters and they kind of doing damage too it's very cool to go to level six but if your party not consisting of this like a lot of M characters you can totally ignore this hour of protection basically and you can instantly switch into saucer from level five why saucer first of all you can use his spells sorer using Charisma as his spell casting modifier you got high Charisma so you spells is not awful basically for your subass go for storm sorcery this will give you ability to use fly action if you're using some spells so maybe you're not in the range of Target you can use some range spells you can attack him with spells and then you can fly to this Target and then you can use your normal abilities instead of just using Misty step to relocate yourself very nice sub class for Paladin if you want to have fun go for wild magic and when you cast in spells basically you will have have some funny stuff happening so what to pick from this like character you can go for something like FEA fall andh hand sleep whatever spells you don't have from other stuff but uh actually as saer you kind of not care too much why we picking sorer and why I'm not explaining what I'm picking here basically you can pick whatever spells you like that your party is not having you won't use scotching Ray most of the time you will use like normal attacks always so Qui can spell like sub spell sometimes it's nice if you want to cast spells but in this type of padin we're not casting spells so basically we're liveing in up to max level as saucer right now and why it's called Smite Adin basically for our fit of choice go to Ability Improvement strength basically just improve your power level 10 you can pick haste just to concentrate on it if you're lucky with your concentration but it's risky because you can lose a turn if you attacked so sometimes it's risky but sometimes it's worth it to have haste on yourself to concentrate on it it's depending on your choice so again you don't care about spells too much you can pick some disabling spells like uh you know sleep or whatever but it's not very good in the late game anyway fire ball just for fun and basically we're at level 12 right now so last level we're getting level four spells so any good level four spells actually for sorer again we kind of don't care too much we can use something like great invisibility maybe you will need it for some exploration or other stuff but most of the time you will use the spell slots for other stuff so when you level up like this with five level Paladin and seven level saucer basically you will gain access to level five spell slots that's what you are looking for and basically again as I told you for this build it doesn't matter too much what spells you kind of picking so first of all make sure to go to reaction top of your character and turn on reaction on this stuff just so you can turn this on or off when you're attacking that's nice stuff and for S again you can use every spell if you like to but we not making build to use S spells we using S just to unlock more spell slots for Paladin if you're playing Paladin you will be finishing with like level three spell slots and that's it so you will be too limited on your Smite usage that's why I call this build smin basically so we need only a few stuff uh we basically need attack jump and that's it basically we don't need anything more of course I'm lying wo enmity is very cool very strong stuff and stuff like uh hold person and stuff like Hunter Mark can be used too so what items we want to have what gear we want to have as this Paladin basically that's the build I will drop link for Google sheet that I use for this build and some other builds I will drop it it in the video about Conor mod basically so you will see it very soon so make sure to subscribe if you want this Google sheet I almost completed it so uh weapons and where to find these weapons will be in this but basically you can find it in the Google anyway so uh our combination of rings a crush a ring you can find it early game basically it adding plus three movement speed so we can travel a lot more distance on our foot very nice stuff to have on characters killer sweetheart you will get it from Ax 2 in their Temple of Shar basically you'll find it and surgeon subur am you will find it again in act two so what's combination we got more movement speed that's nice simple and straightforward killer switch heart when you kill a creature your next attack roll will be critical heat so one spent uh it can be used one spell wrong rest so basically you killing some easy creature then you going to other a creature and attacking and you can force this attack to be critical heat if you're doing this critical heat on humanoids there's a lot of humanoids in act three basically so you can paralyze them for two seconds and when they paralyzed your next attacks will be critical hits so critical heit chance is just insane for this build uh as main character I like to use evasive shoes just plus one to Armor class and cloak of protection again plus one to Armor class just like that we're getting 2 AC with heavy armor this best heavy armor in the game just use any heavy armor you can find uh you will be around 20 to 23 AC depending on your armor class it doesn't matter what armor you will have so Legacy of Masters you can buy it from Damon in act three you will gain plus two bonus to attack and damage rolls with your weapons very nice stuff to hit more often so for helmet I like to use sok's horn helmet uh basically when you kill sok you will gain this helmet and this will reduce number you need to roll to gain critical heit by one so now it's only 19 and that shot just bow in the bow slot will reduce this number by one two so it's 18 to roll a critical heat very cool stuff and best two-handed weapon you can find basically you will equip it balan's Giant Slayer is just best in the game you can find it later in the game if you're lucky if you explore too much you know you can get this uh awesome sword so how you play it and how this build Works let's go basically you can play it two ways first way is to use your seven sorcery points just to create spell slots so a sorer you can use sorcery points to create spell slots and you can use all seven sorcery points to create level five spell slot to unlock powerful Smite but I would say like best spell slots for Smite is level three and level four so considering this uh if you want want to do it you can create like level three spell slot and level one spell slot so you will add two more smites to Your Arsenal by doing this or you can instead make more powerful smites so instead of using level one spell slots you don't need them anyway only for additional smites you can use create sorcery points you can use spell slots number one to create spell points basically and by doing so you can create four sorcery points so basically we're doing it one more time and one more time just like that so now we got 11 sorcery points now we can create two spell Slots of level three basically or we can use some level two spell slots most of the time we can use level two spell slot one time this will create two additional sorcery points and basically you can create level five spell slot for stronger smites of level five of course and you can create level four spell slot and basically now you can do two smites of level five level four will be four smites where's strong stuff what is like Smite basically what is Smite so Smite is a stuff that basically gives you additional damage with your weapon so normally I'm doing two D6 plus 25 why it's plus 25 basically because we got valan Giant Slayer it gives us additional damage from our strength so it adds plus five from our strength basically to our damage and when we turn on this great weapon master all in it will add flat 10 to our damage just like that and then basically our Smite from first level will add to d8 radiant damage very nice but second level Smite will add 3d8 4 d8 5 d8 and finally one more 5 d8 from level five so as you can see it's not scaling from level five I guess it was fixed so it was scaling before but right now level fource spell slot is best spell slot so considering this when you destroying spell slots uh just destroy level five spell slots you will gain five soury points for this and create more spell Slots of level four that's how you play this build actually so we can create basically a lot of spell slots from level three level four and have a lot of cool smites a lot of powerful smites that's why it's SM in what is our damage how we can pull this off basically look at this poor dude we will just destroy him when you attack in you got some prompts and when you normally attack enemy and he dies he basically dies that's it but then Army will come to destroy us and so the fight starts basically what we can do we can do two attacks with one action if we hust it we can do like four attacks and if we H it and we got blood lust potion we're basically can do a lot more attacks let's use bloodlust potion for now and basically you can start with something like w enity to use is bonus section too so if you're got low chances to hit enemy for example like 50% just use wow enmity and it will Skyrocket up to like 64 70% instantly with Advantage so you can use whole person with your action again if you need to but most of the time you will use it with your like Mages and whatever so how to use this Paladin straight forward basically you attack enemies with your sword so you attack then you can roll your critical hit if you need to and this enemy will be destroyed so if enemy survives if enemy survives and you're not rolling critical hit you will be prompted with your Divine Smite so we got four smites of level four basically they add in additional five to 40 damage and as you can see we just destroyed this bro and that's basically what you're doing with this Palin you just running from one target to another using your smites and destroying targets with this high level Smite so as you can see with this build with this approach we can do like six attacks in one turn with potions without potions but hasted we can do four attacks in one turn so with four attacks uh you can use all your smites from level four basically and this Smite will do or can do additional 120 damage just additional to your normal attacks so basically you're averaging in like 300 damage per turn you got a lot of smites because when you play normal Paladin I got most of the time in situation where I just use all my smites in one fight and I got zero spell slots so it's hard to manage them with this Paladin you're not get in these troubles and you basically got a lot of smites you're crazy Smite in so for next Paladin we can use kind the same gear kind the same gear but I recommend instead of going just fully two-handed sword or whatever going for some like onehanded mace maybe maybe mace or other cool weapon you can find maybe sword and a shield so basically shield with uh three protection this will give you a lot of armor and basically you can finish with something like 25 26 27 Armor class without any additional stuff without potions and different stuff so basically just like that you will be very powerful very powerful actually just uh powerful tank and this build will be Paladin who will go and tank and just take damage tank for his party support his party so we starting with the same approach we're going for defense this time we don't need great weapon fighting so defense approach basically same spells same levels again it will be Vengeance Paladin so our fit of choice will be just to increase our strength again we're still using our weapon as our main like damage dealing stuff but there will be a lot more stuff that we used to do damage again extra attack at level five but as supportive Paladin you will find you will fight alongside your M party members most of the time anyway so AA of protection is a must pick right now that's why we're picking over of protection at level six and now we got two different options we can go to level eight Paladin just to for some additional reasons or we can instantly switch our class so let's instantly switch our class and use cleric as our secondary class so cleric Paladin and of course we will use War domain CTIC most important future you will get more charges and these charges can be used to do attack with your bonus action and this big guys so normally with just one action you can do only two attacks right now you can do three attacks with bonus action in one turn without any additional stuff poison like potions and other stuff so uh for for cleric you want to have guidance sacred flame maybe produce flame something like this blade wart is very strong stuff too you can cast it before battle for two turns very nice so War diam cleric D doesn't matter too much so prepared spells you won't get a lot of spells as cleric because you're Charisma based character that's why cleric and palatin is not common multiclass so with this build you still need some supportive guy in your team and for this bro you possibly will take something like inflict wounds but again you will use your smites most of the time so it kind of doesn't matter too much what spell you choose actually even guiding bolt is nice but it's hard to hit with your spells with low wisdom so make sure to pick right spells maybe even create or destroy water to support your like Mages with lighting attacks from the back line so you use create water they do more damage with liting attacks something like that you can use this guy and basically with war cleric we want second level two to get this guided strike it will give us plus 10 bonus to attack coll with Channel Divinity very incredible stuff to make sure we hitting our attacks very cool stuff again we get access to one more spell so considering you don't have high wisdom consider spells that's not casted like as ATT rolls and other stuff so again create or destroy water will be nice Peck then we go to cleric level three that's where you getting some more like spells from level two again cool future will be lesser restoration maybe you will need it in the game you can use enhance ability you can use it as a reaction in dialoges basically to enhance abilities sometime just nice feature to have and considering you kind a cleric support but that can't support I recommend having Druid in this party if you don't want to go for for double cleric so uh we getting fit of choice and for fit of choice I would go actually with something like warcaster something like warcaster to increase our chances to keep concentration and finally we're getting cleric level five that's where things getting interested interesting and that's where our build is kind of finished so we're getting it at level 11 that's why I actually suggest going with level like eight level 9 Paladin and then re subclassing change class with Wizards get to level six pal and basically changing your class in the late game so what we want here here is our bread and butter spell anime de we can use it and we can use rify and one more spell of course that's already in our Arsenal basically one more spell as War cleric you will gain access to Spirit Guardians that's what we need that's it basically that's it so last level you can pick whatever you like like actually as this type of like character you can go to level six cleric to gain one more div charge you can do it but there's one more thing how you can improve this build you can respect at level 12 again one more time and start as fighter from level one starting as fighter from level one will give you ability to add Constitution to your saving throws and additionally it will your proficiency so basically you will get a lot more chances to keep your concentration that's why I recommending one fighter five cleric six Paladin in the super late game when you hit Level 12 but 66 will work too with work cter especially so again because we're playing this class with a lot of spells we gaining a lot of spell slots basically so we can cast Smite a lot of time so look 27 AC 27 natural AC in the end game come on guys it's just incredible it will be hard to actually keep your Vengeance o and most of the time with this sty you can actually break it but try to keep it it's really strong stuff to keep wo enmity on you so how this sping Works basically again you kind of doing some crazy stuff and then you're animating your enemies basically you creating like zombies from them so as you can see everyone missing against us it's hard to hit 27 AC character so what this lady will do she's trying to touch me or whatever she's doing and basically how we fight with the first turn most of the time we're just turning on Spirit Guardians we can upcast it up to level five just upcast your spirit Guardians like that so you're instantly starting to do damage nearby your enemies and then you just attack them with your maze basically with our maze as you can see we can do one attack do some damage we can use then as a reaction our divine Smite and do even more damage Crush our enemies so we can do two attacks with one action Ste as Paladin level five basically that's what we can do so last part of the puzzle is actually coming nearby other enemies and then we can do one more attack using our bonus action and War cleric we can do it four times in a day basically if I'm yeah once per long CR and as you can see we're just destroying everyone with critical hits that's crazy how much damage this character outputs when AOE at the same time with like Melee damage so that's crazy you can combine him with secondary cleric for double Spirit Guardian damage it will be just insane damage actually insane damage so as you can see this bro should just try to run right now from us but but he's too scared he's almost died and we basically finish him with normal maze attack just like that and as you can see we're doing really nice damage with this mace what is this mace actually it's Diva mace how to find it yeah I will tell you how to find it right now because this is like secret secret stuff to get to make our last build working so place you need to go it's act three it's storm show Tabernacle bu basically storm show Tabernacle yeah you're going here you're like praying at this uh like statue of gods you're praying here or wherever you want to pray after praying you need to commit a crime so it's nice to do it not with your Paladin but with other characters who w't break their hes just turn backwards go to this wooden hch basically that's what you're doing there will be some traps so beware go to the last room when you're in the last room there will be some chests most importantly there will be one offering chest over here and when you try open this chest you will find everything you like put it on this postament of gods so every time you put something it will be in this chest you will steal it you will get uh this like curse from Divinity and then you basically what you want to do you want to remove this curse you can remove it by casting spell remove curse or I once try once time I tried this m healing and basically when you do it you will summon Divas so as you can see Divas summon they will attack everyone in your Camp most of the time they will have really high Health B so it's pretty hard to like deal with them most of the time if you're not having really strong party so be ready but if you're powerful enough you should be able to just destroy them easily again this SP then you can use W enmity to use this stuff on him to have advantage on ATT rolls you can use atic for even more guardan damage as you can see it's nice to try to sumon the Divas nearby this cat in the camp because he's invulnerable basically so basically when you destroy this Divas they will lie on the floor in your Camp that's it basically that's basically it and you can't you can't take anything from them you can't take the anything but when you just use long rest uh they will spawn like little pouches and you can get this maze from this pouches what this maze doing it's doing like basic 1 D6 plus your modifier plus two blood Jing damage plus 4 d8 radiant so it's looking like normal maze but it's doing like third level Smite basically every attack yes third level Smite and that's insane guys that's insane so just simple maze can do from 17 to 78 damage in one attack and now you will see most fun most broken most OP build for Paladin so how to build character with this maze let's go build will be same considering items items will be same as previous builds for this build when you bit in fighting style on second level go for defense you want more Armor class basically and level up your Paladin up to level four on level four you want to pick dual wielder trade so this will give you ability to all wield their feet sorry ability to pick two weapons in the each hand while having additional Armor class and I guess you see where it's going I see where you see where it's going basically you can add second maze on your character like that like that but your second maze will do basic damage pretty low only one D6 basic damage because you can't add any additional damage to this weapon attack still it's doing pretty nice damage actually and you can have some work around there's gloves that give you dual wielder Feit basically that will give additional damage to this maze but we will have different work around this time so basically we still want to have level five Paladin and yeah you're not going for this build from the start of the game you're going to act three with any Paladin build basically and then you're respecting your character so Paladin level five is nice place where you want to stop actually to gain extra attack now you switching your class and you picking fighter class with two weapon fighting to weapon fighting with will add your ability modifier to the damage and that's insane as you can see now we're switching our class again and now we can go into SE Rogue so go for rogue right now get two levels in Rogue basically and third level in Rogue will unlock this c subass c subass will give you additional bonus action and now we're going back to the fighter so fighter on second level will give you action search we take it so now we can have additional action then we picking Champion subass basically to lower critical hit numbers that we need and we're getting last Feit that we want so last Fe will be ability Improvement and just add some strength to increase your power so we will be left at around 19 strength you can have around uh 20 strength or 22 strength flat with additional stuff from the campaign you can find it in quests so what we got here we got like crazy bker guys look at him so this monster got 26 AC 26 AC flat without any bonuses we can have around 28 with haste on us and we're rolling critical hits with just 17 damage the problem with this build basically we got such a low Smite count such a low Smite count just level two smites two times but we got like uh four attacks in a turn without any stuff we can do six attacks with action search and with the haste we can do around eight attacks in one turn and we can add basically with action search little smites to each attack so let me show you this bro in action and by the way if you want you can go for different version of this build basically instead of fighter instead of fighter go for like four levels in maybe like saucer so four levels in saucer will give you more spell slots and you will have like more powerful smites if you want to it depending on what you want to build finally so let's cast head B on ourself and basically let's attack let's just attack look at this damage we're not rolling anything right now we're just doing two attacks in a row and the coolest part we can react on second bonus action on each bonus action basically with a Smite so we can use Smite on each bonus action so we are in a battle situation right now so let's watch the show okay we turn off dual wielding so we attack one time it at time basically normal attack with an action we can roll for critical hit we want do it and we can react with Divine Smite we won't do it either right now now we attacking with off hand weapon so basically we do it one time again we can roll for critical heat with our rings and other stuff and we can use Smite reaction on this twoo so basically we can use two smites with our action bonus action in one turn then do it one more time and then if we H it we can do it it two more times with normal hand attack and if we're like husted and blood potion we can do it like two more times that's crazy how much damage we can do basically so how much damage exactly we can do with for example like one attack let me attack uh this bro with like off hand weapon for now we're missed let's attack with main hand weapon we missed again let's go to this bro right now and again coolest part is you still got your W enmity and other stuff so we can have a lot more power basically and let's roll for critical hit so one critical hit basically doing doing look look at this it's doing basically two to six damage from six from strength plus two from arming enchantment plus three from Savage attacks from our orc class then we rolling 8 d8 radiant damage from our mates additionally we're rolling for Smite critical attack one more time and basically we're rolling 68 one more time so with one critical heit you're basically doing something around like 20 damage then something around 40 damage and then again something around 40 damage so one maze attack with critical heit and considering we got this gear we got a lot of chances to land a critical hit can make 100 damage again you can do two attacks with bonus action two attacks with one action two attack with second action from your haste you can unlock one more action by doing this Blood potion basically so blood potion will give you one more attack and then then if you're counting with me it's like eight attacks you can use action search one time basically and do two more attacks this will give you 10 attacks uh not all attacks will be with smites but still it's almost 1K damage in a turn 1K damage in a turn like and it's not maximum it's like medium you can do around 1.5k damage in a turn actually that's crazy guys 1K damage in a turn that's maximum damage you can possibly do in baldos Gate 3 so if you enjoy this build make sure to subscribe for Hunter MOD builds and other stuff and Hunter MOD
