BG3 Lae'zel Build Guide - Fighter Wizard Multiclass (Eldritch Knight & Evocation / Divination)

in this balers Gate 3 LEL build guide I'll be showing you how to play LEL in balers Gate 3 if you want to make her into a fighter wizard that is extremely hard to kill and has a lot of flexibility eldrich Knights combine the Marshall prowess of Fighters with some wizard spells anyway and wizards have the flexibility to change spells when things aren't working for them in this guide I'll also cover ability scores class features equipment and I will provide tips on how to get the most out of lysell when played This Way ELD Knights are arguably the strongest fighter subclass in BG three because not only do they gain all things regular Fighters gain like extra attack and extra feat and all the weapon and armor proficiencies but they can also use several spells that make them even more effective in combat these include Shield magic Missile burning hands acid slash blur and Misty step by taking some levels of wizard LEL can also make use of higher level spells like haste Fireball and lightning bolt while also being able to learn from Scrolls if you take the evocation school you can also cast aoe's without worrying about harming yourself and if you take demon you have more Battlefield control in this guide we'll discuss why you might select either of these additionally I have added a way for liel to gain Arcane Acuity somewhat easily which makes her spells more difficult to save against allowing her to attack the first turn or two and follow up with devastating spells afterwards since lizel is a gith Yankee having some spellcasting Talent makes sense for her character since lizel begins bg3 as a fighter her ability scores are in line with what a typical fighter might have however you'll want to Respec her eventually to get the most out of her otherwise she will not be optimized for much of the game you can see that we've evened out many of her abilities to provide more benefit I've set dexterity to 14 in order to get the most of medium armor and to provide some initiative and I've increased intelligence to 12 to help with spell difficulty class and to be able to slot an additional wizard spell you can dump intelligence early on in the game if you plan to use the Warped headband of intellect but you will eventually need to slot a different helmet so if you do this you'll want to Respec eventually also note that you can play this build as a dexterity fighter if you want and you can dump strength increase dexterity to 16 and pump intelligence to 16 however if you do this you will limit yourself to finesse weapons which means you essentially need the F Alo since making use of great weapon Master is a big part of this build when it comes to skills lizel has Proficiency in athletics and intimidation from her backgrounds who cannot change these Athletics is good for pushing and resisting being pushed but what other skills you choose is not particularly important since liel won't be handling many dialogue checks but acrobatics is a good pickup for even more push resistance and history is also not bad because LEL should have decent intelligence I like to keep my companions at least the class they begin the game with since it feels like that's how liion intended for them to be played and it's no exception with LEL LEL Begins the game as a fighter but she doesn't yet have a subass and here will'll be selecting eldrich Knight this provides lizel some spellcasting which fits well with her story and race the two main benefits of taking fighter first for this liel build is is that she'll gain all weapon and armor proficiencies and that she gains Constitution saving throw proficiency this allows lizel to use any weapon or armor in the game and also allows her to add her proficiency bonus to concentration saving throws making her more likely to succeed in them this helped if she plans to use blur haste or any other spell that requires concentration she will also gain second wind at this level allowing her to heal as a bonus action for 1 d10 plus her fighter level once per short rest as well as a fighting style her fighting style I recommend selecting great weapon fighting which allows her to get more consistent damage from her two-handed weapon defense is also an acceptable choice at level two of fighter LEL will gain action surge allowing her to take a second action once per short rest this really shines later on when LEL gains extra attack allowing to attack four times in a given turn using action surge at the beginning of combat is a great way to gain full stacks of Arcane acity once liel has gotten the proper gear at level three of fighter LEL will get to choose a fighter subclass we'll be taking eldrich Knight in order to gain access to some wizard spells I highly recommend selecting shield and magic Missile at this point as well as acid Splash Shield will allow LEL to use her reaction and a spell slot to increase her Armor class by plus five for round which can make her extremely difficult to hit magic Missile is a great ranged option that can hit multiple targets and doesn't rely on intelligence to connect since it cannot miss its Target and cannot be saved against acid Splash gives lizel an AOE that can be used even point blank to hit multiple enemies and once she's level seven she'll be able to use this when surrounding and then attack with her bonus action thanks to war magic she will also gain weapon bond at this level allowing her to throw her weapon and have it return to her and prevents it from being knocked out of her hand at level four of eldrich Knight LEL will get to choose a feat here will take great weapon master in order to deal more damage with her weapon which will be two-handed and also gives her an option for her bonus action to make another attack if she crits or kills an enemy with a melee attack at level five of eldrich Knight liel Will gain extra attack allowing her to attack a second time each turn if she uses her action to attack this is an extremely important level for her as she will become more effective in combat essentially doubling her damage potential at level six of eldrich Knight liel Will gain an extra feat one that all fighters gain at this level here she will increase her strength for more hit chance and damage the hit chance is the more important of the two since great weapon Master will penalize her hit chance if you made her a DEX fighter then you would select dexterity here instead of strength at level seven of Elder schn LEL will gain level two spells and War magic level two spells allow her to use things like blur and Misty step blur makes her damn near impossible to hit in combat and Misty step provides good Mobility when she needs it note that she will also gain one use of Misty step per long rest for being a GTH Yan at level five War magic allows lizel to cast a can trip and then attack with a bonus action this is a lot better on paper than it is in practice since generally you want to attack twice every turn if you can however this allows you to use acid Splash to hit many enemies when they are grouped up which can often outperform two attacks from a weapon at level eight of eldrich Knight liel will get to select her third feat this will allow her to either choose strength or dexterity depending on how she's set up for more accuracy or intelligence for better spellcasting either of these is a good option and whichever you go with you will probably want to do the opposite with on her fourth feet at level 12 next she'll start taking wizard levels at level one of wizard Lio will get to select some more spells here I recommend taking ritual spells that don't consume spell slots when used outside of combat as well as Thunder Wave for its knockback effect she also get to learn spells from Scrolls at this level so keep that in mind Arcane recovery will also allow to gain one level one spell slot back every long rest at this level to be sure to use it when needed at level two of wizard Liza will get to select a magic school I suggest either divination or evocation here divination will allow lizel to control some outcomes on the battlefield while evocation protects friendlies from her aoe's she won't have many AOE if any at this point so it's better once she gets Fireball or lightning bolt than before that point so you can select either and level three wizard lizel will get to choose level two wizard spells but more importantly she will have level three spell slots this will allow her to learn level three spells from Scrolls like Fireball lightning bolt and haste so make sure you buy these and have her learn them at level four of wizard liel will gain her fourth and final feat which is made possible by eight levels of fighter here she should select intelligence or strength or dexterity depending on what was chosen at level eight capping at 14 intelligence may seem low for hostile spells but we do have a way of increasing spell DC with our a cuy which I will discuss in the next section since liel is a fighter she has access to all armor in the game you want to look for armor with a highest possible armor class in order to avoid taking damage she should have 14 dexterity so either medium or heavy armor is fine one armor I can recommend later on is The Dark justicier Half plate which also provides advantage on Constitution saving throws which will allow her to maintain concentration on spells like haste blur or hold person more easily liel will need to use a heavy Aver versatile weapon for this build in order to get the most from great weapon fighting and great weapon Master if you got the everb burn blade at the very beginning of the game this is a great weapon for her otherwise really any two-handed weapon will work if she went dexterity though instead of strength you'll need to get the F Alo long sword from the underdark for ranged weapons she won't really be using this all that often but look for ranged weapons that benefit her in some other way like the Deadshot one really important accessory for this build is the helmet of Arcane acity this allows LEL to gain two stacks of arcane each time she hits an enemy arcanic lets her add plus one to spell attack roles or plus one to spell difficulty class for each stack if on turn one she attacks twice then action surges and attacks twice again she will have Max stacks of this on her second turn allowing her to cast a hostile spell with a huge increase to spell attack roles or difficulty class as I mentioned earlier though you can use the Warped headband of intellect early on but eventually you'll want to replace it with a helmet of Arcane Acuity so if you did dump intelligence to use use that headband make sure to resp speec at this point cloak of protection is a good choice for cloak since it provides one armor class and plus one to saving throws and I like gloves of the growling Underdog for gauntlets because they give lizel advantage on melee attack roles when engaged with two or more enemies this really helps with accuracy which is needed when using great weapon Master's toggle evasive shoes are also good for boots because they also provide an additional Armor class helping to protect Lal further for rings I like costic band and ring of Arcane Synergy costic band simply adds damage to lel's attacks and ring of Arcane Synergy increases damage after hitting an enemy with the canant trip this is nice for after casting acid Splash and following up with a bonus attack thanks to warcaster for necklace I like necklace of Elemental augmentation to increase canant trip damage but another good choice is the psychic spark which makes magic Missile fire an extra Dart each time you cast it final tips the general idea with this LEL build is to build up Arcane Acuity Stacks by attacking on the first Andor second turn of combat and then firing off off a hostile spell that is unlikely to be saved against spells that are good for this are burning hands Thunder Wave Fireball lightning bolt or scorching Rays note that none of these spells require concentration try to save concentration spells on liel for blur haste hold person or something like hypnotic pattern you won't always need these but make sure to use them for harder fights and make sure not to override them with other concentration spells for instance you cannot use haste and hold person together remember that acid splash can be a great spell when LEL is surrounded if you want to save a spell slot or she's running low because of War Caster she can attack again after casting it on the same turn you don't have to play this build with eight fighter and four wizard you can play with six fighter and six Wizard or seven fighter and five wizard if you'd prefer the downside is that you'll miss out on a fourth feet and War Caster if you went down to six fighter but the upside is that you'll gain access to level four spells lastly hang on to Scrolls you come across that you'll want to learn with LEL so that you can do so once she takes a level of wizard also consider taking one level of wizard earlier in order to make this happen faster like after level five of fighter so that wraps up our LEL build guide I don't know if we're going to do the extra companions for companion builds I think we're going to the plan is to get back into doing the multi-classing guides so I think you guys can expect one more of those later this week otherwise we'll have it early next [Music] week [Music] w
