Baldur's Gate 3 - Familiar Tier List!

[Music] embrace the magic [Music] greetings fellow Wizards warlocks Sorcerers and whoever else has a familiar uh today I'm going to talk about tier rating for families because you know we always wanted a pet to do our dirty work and I'm going to talk briefly about each one before I give them my final rating and to start off with the crab laughs and it's a detier for me let me explain start off the crab has no special qualities and fairly weak stats with only two hit points it has a crippling pinch that does two to five damage and the pinch condition just reduces Movement by bit and there's a little bit more damage for two turns meh next up we have the spider very thematic if you want to be a draw but mechanically I don't see many advantages which is why I'm placing it in seatier but let's take a brief look shall we so the interesting thing about the spider is that it has web walking and dark vision web walking basically allows it to move on webs which can be nice if you're using web a lot and it has a decent amount of HP around six but that's where the advantages and it has a fairly weak bite that does one damage plus one D4 if the enemy fails it's safe a nice little jump ability but with its nine Armor class I don't think its health will keep it alive for the red I'm gonna give it a b with its bite it has its ability to infect which lasts for 10 turns and basically what it does it gives disadvantage to Constitution saving throws yes the stats are pretty rubbish but let's look at it in action you can see from this clip it has an infectious bite that Deals Only One damage but can in fact reduce in Constitution by one and inflicting disadvantage on Constitution semi throws obviously this is a great combo enabler for any spell or ability that uses con saves likewise I'm gonna put toad in the same tears the rat since it does pretty much the same thing except that it affects dexterity saving throws can't really say much for the Frog stats but let's see it in action so the frog has this beautiful toxin that deals one damage and imposes disadvantage on the x37 throws so yeah that seems pretty handy if you use sacred flame and you know any reflex saving throw spell or ability so the cat classic wizard familiar I'm giving it a b also for its very situational situational use that seems to be related to stealth so the cat has okayish stats dark vision and feline fall which has its damage when it falls but although it only has two hit points so why did they anyways the cat's claws deals three damage and it has a meow ability which apparently can be used to distract a bit like minor illusion so very interesting if you're doing a stealth-like party closet you can obtain from The Pact of the chain warlock at level three and I think it's the second best uh it does have a fair number of special qualities though which we will talk about which is why I placed it in eight here so here's where it gets a bit more interesting the closet has a few resistances 7 HP which is decent and okay stats it has claws that deal 47 damage and a visibility and a scare ability that can only be used once per short rest overall though the visibility is very good so you can always become invisible and run away without needing to disengage come back invisible again for your level 1 wizard find familiar though Raven has to take the as tier for the following reasons yes its stats are pretty terrible with only one hit point but do you remember the alpha meter in DND that always gave flyby Advantage ha here's another way to do it attacked us three damage and it can fly which can be very useful however the big figures Rend Vision this ability can blind effectively give an advantage to all your party members that go directly after the raven Hedwig I do not miss you but what are we gonna call the raven for the final s tier it's The Pact of the chain imp and you see why not only does the Imp have resistances decent stats it also has Devil's sight ha you can see the combo potential its Clause deals 4 to 47 damage it can fly it can become invisible at a will and you also have a nice little poison attack that can deal an extra 1d6 damage I mean honestly imp might as well have its own tier amazingly good so yeah this is the final tier list for the familiars that are so far in the game we might get changes more might get added what did you guys think if you enjoyed the video please give a thumbs up and subscribe and if you have any comments or if you place any familiar in a different tier let me know [Music] thank you for watching fellow wizard and may magic be with you [Music]
