Since my first character is a Druid, my tank is Karlach, my thief is Astarion, n my fighter is Wyll.. Being a Druid is awesome when u reach level 5. Can heal quite good, talking to animals, having so much hp (from wild shape) n great at crowd damage.. Sometimes I change Wyll with Gale.. cuz it's funny to see the banters while walking.. And trust me, the amount of Wyll's sarcastic joke towards Astarion rly amusing.. 🥲 that guy is a bully..
Remember if you knock out Minthara in act one instead of killing her, you find her in bluemoon tower in act two. Play your cards right and you get her as a companion anyway shortly after.
My gf and I were new to this style of game when we started. Got OBLITERATED by the goblins in the blighted city twice on our first playthrough. I started a solo playthrough with Astarion in my party and cleared the whole city with just Astarion. They didn't take a single hp from me because they got stealth sniped to death. Not to mention by level 3 you basically cannot fail most lockpicking rolls. Dudes a monster.
12 lvl in rogue is a waste I builded astarion 4lvl rogue 5lvl ranger 3lvl warrior and he could hit 10 crits in a row the first round while surprising the enemies (also ascended so every shot did like +20
If you knock minthara out instead of killing her she shows up towards the end of act 2 and you can recruit her and have Halsin if that’s what you want. Thank me later
Lae'zel is the youngest of your companions (22) and less trained than most, even if her cultural background gives her certain advantages. It is easy to have both Minthara and Halsin in the same party (rescue Halsin in chapter 1, knock out Minthara in chspter 1, then rescue her from Moonrise towers in chapter 2). Not too challenging.
@@shanewells8321 Still a time limitation. Also keep in mind that a lot of what a low ranking young warrior does is just waiting between battles and obeying orders, to further the career of their superiors, rather than their own. She is ambitious, but still very much rank and file when the party meets her.
Kalrach can have Halsin and Minthera squished within three rounds 😂😂. Giving Astarion the gauntlets from hell while doing his dex to 20 is great fun though.
Not even close… You should see their canon character sheet, which you can get throught deluxe edition. Lazael is lvl 11, while halsing and minthara are lvl 9…the others are lvl 8 or less… That’s what they are canonically
@@JankyDice96 should we base it on character sheet and not as presented in game lore? I feel like Karlach would be superior in physical combat based on background/lore and there's an argument for Wyll and Gale to be more powerful because magic.
Yea no. All companions can become very powerful, however, Karlach, Gale, Astarion, Shadowheart and Wyll all has much higher potential than those 3. Due to their story quest, doing the right things will make any of them more and more powerful.
We not talking about lore buddy. Bae'zel could win whole fights by herself. The extra attack plus speed and the right gear. She could legit solo encounters. She caused 300 hp damage to raphael in one turn ❤
I dont have halsin or minthara but so far i think that the best damage got gale when you skill him right,the best defense got karlach and the best Support of course is shadowheart but i think the most useful(if you are not a rogue yourself) is astarion because he can lockpick and disarm almost anything
This is rather superfluous because you can just respec companions. The only thing that really matters is their race and any inherent abilities they get. This means Astarion is actually one of the stronger companions before story shenanigans because he has the "bite" bonus action. Karlach is also up there with her coin operated super mode. Minthara's Soul Branding ability is also good. Minsc has Boo, who is shockingly powerful. But Halsin? He likes ducks.
Lae'zel is a must. If you give her battle master she can trip and stun knock things off the map. Later when she gets the silver sword she just destroys. And i always have Shadowheart because she heals and her guardian spirit spell makes combat with undead and shadows easy. The third person i keep is either karlach or gale. Now that you can get methara and not kill the druids i am trying her. And her smite is a wrecking ball.
Nah. Minthara deals more damage and both jahira and halsin tank more and can do some of their own insane damage. And gale and wyll are great for utilities and damage with magic while shadowheart is a must because of healing spells and spirit guardian. End of the day the magic output out weighs the fighter towards the mid and end game. And we can't forget about boo. The deadliest space hamster in all the realms
No better than Gale, Shadowheart, and Laz. With me as a Gnome Bard. We have everything covered and they work great together! I swear I got as lucky as possible deciding do go with a Bard. Its the most fun ive ever had
My main 2 were Lae’zel and Asterion. The third went between Gale, Wyll, and Shadowheart until I got Karlach. I switched back to Shadowheart and that's been my 3 for the most part. My main was a Warlock so I had 2 warlocks for a bit. I switched to Barbarian with Karlach so I had 2 barbarians for a bit. I switched to Monk since I like being a weapon regardless of whether I have weapons or not, making prison breaks more fun.
The trick is any of them can actually be anything you want them to be, I like to respec them all just to make their ability scores better and I might change slight things like the type of cleric shadowheart is or give someone a subclass
My last playthrough used Halsin, Astarion and Gale as the final party members against the final boss. My dude Halsin was saving all the Crits for it since he was the team’s tank while he’s shapeshifts into the saber tooth tiger. I was playing as the team’s Barbarian (Wild Magic)
Actually if you ko minthara at the goblin camp, then take halsin to moonrise when you rescue minthara you can have both of them at the same time. They just move around the camp because there's only room for one tent
Wizards are widely accepted to be the strongest class in DND. Though it takes some time for them to scale up in power, once they do they are extremely versatile and good at doing whatever you need them to. Damage, crowd control, significant buffs to allies, and more.
It may not be an optimized build, but I’ve got Halsin multiclassed as a Wildheart Barbarian with Bear Heart Rage and a Moon Druid with the Bear Wildshape. I wanted him to be an effective melee fighter outside of his bear form as well, so Wildheart Barb seemed to fit him thematically.
Gale can literally blow up baldur's gate if he went and he has a intimate relationship with a literal goddess of magic i think he is more powerful than a female orc with a sword.
I mean, if we're talking about before the story begins, it'd probably be Gale or Halsin; both high level spellcasters who already have significant, established feats even before starting. Karlach guarding an Archdemon is also going to need to be extremely powerful; her engine isn't running correctly in the mortal world, but is extremely powerful in hell. Minthara was the head of THE royal family of Menzoberranzan, kind of like the Drow Kennedys. Wyll is noted as defeating an entire cult of Tiamat with only Mizora helping him; for those outside of BG3 lore, these are worshippers of one of the strongest evil deities in existence. Jaheira and Minsc are God tier from previous Baldurs Gate games. I'd argue Shadowheart, Astarion, and Laezel are the weakest before being infected. Shadowheart was not a Justiciar, just a fan girl who worshipped Shar. She's setting off at the beginning of the story to prove herself to the organization, implying she was largely untested. Nocturne is also notably level 1 when we meet her, and grew up right beside Shaddy. Astarion, while old, was never allowed to consume humanoid blood. Before being spawned, he was basically a minor city official. Laezel was on her "Rite of passage" quest in Githyanki culture; finding and beheading an Ilithid for her queen. She wasn't even fully considered an adult or citizen by Githyanki standards.
I done lost like 3 companions plus Halsin on my first play through all because I chose to be a secret agent and get next to Minthara and killed everybody in Druid Grove. It doesn’t feel like the coochie was worth it as of yet but I think I’m still on Act 1 😂
Gale is the best companion dude is a killing machine when you have the right spells not to mention he can learn almost any spell in the game, shadow heart is also powerful when she doesn’t freaking miss she hits like a truck and can heal the party, astarion is also very strong specially is you multi class with monk, I haven’t use wyll enough but he is ok for what I have use him, karlach is similar to lea zel but I argue that she is better since she gets rage very often making her hit like a truck.
If you toggle non lethal attacks you can just knock out minthara so you can get halsin and her in one play through but it does mean you won’t get her tadpole
You can recruit Minthara and Halsin but it's hard. You have to aid the Grove but knockout Minthara while disguised as an ally. Make her temporary hostile first and you'll see her again at moonrise
You can now recruit MInthara without destroying the grove. You have to knock her out using non-lethal attacks a toggle found under passives either at the goblin camp while you're taking out the other leaders. Or you can tell her the location of the grove and side with the grove betraying her. Then using the same method to knock her out. I prefer doing it at the goblin camp. Too many Tieflings use bows which if she has low enough HP can kill her.
Astarion, Gale, Shadowheart. I know you can make any character a beast in this game, but my Astarion with the titanstring bow is a boss killer. One rounding most bosses in the game, where Astarion does at least half their health bar in his turn alone is saying something.
Minthara is definitely the most op thanks to how busted multiclass companions are, though laezel is a close second and third id probably put wyll or astarion (astarion just being a huge help with dex while holding his own in combat)
In theory all the characters are at 1 because you can change their classes and builds, and by that logic too Ascendant Monk Astarion should be the most powerful party member in the entire game.
Imo in lore the strongest companions are Wyll, Karlach, Gale, Jaheira, Lae’zel, Minsc, Halsin, Minthara, Shadowheart, Astarion. But at the end depending on which ending, it’s Gale and Astarion by far
You can respec any character into any class. This is a stupid question unless you talk about the character unique abilities (like Astarion's bite) or their writing.
Bro you can still recruit menthara and house and have them in the same playthrough, you just have to knock methara out and she reappears in act 2 if you don't kill her
The entire point of companions is just for the story. You can respect them at any time and change their stats. At best you can argue a few of them have some unique throwaway abilities, like bite and soul coin.😂 but these abilities really suck compared to what items can give you, like haste and shield. Which can be used by anybody. Companions are just nice story quest and pretty faces to look at. Its about classes and builds.
Lae'Zel is most skilled probably, but most powerful? (Judging only by backstory) Is probably Karlach because of infernal engine that would literally melt everything she touches
@@colinnixon7739she is strong because her class is overpowered and her being gith also goes very well with fighter but she doesn’t gain any buffs from her companion quest so her power can be replicated by any player-githyanki fighter build, unlike companions like karlach, astarion, gale, shadowheart which get powers you can’t get on a regular tiefling, elf, human, half-elf.
Na Karlach stronger then Halsin, it should be Lae'zel then Karlach, I bet on her over Minthara too but Minthara might be a lot closer to her then Halsin. 1. Lae'zel as she has a better hit chance & actually hits more with Great Weapon Master then Karlach. 2. Karlach. 3. Minthara. Giving Shadowheart Ranger class for a extra attack while healing & Assassin feat is pretty nasty too. She definitely gotta be top 5.
Ehhhh I don’t ever play w halsin so idk,, but my astarion always nearly one shots in stealth. & minthara is equally just as broken with power. She one taps w smite spell all the time. They are the cleanup crew. People who say astarion doesn’t do damage clearly don’t know how to play this dude or build him lol.
Minthara is by far the most powerful of three, Lae'zel is more consistent with damage and survivability though, Halsin is good but needs party to support. Vanilla leveling obviously, no respec
1) Minthara - Paladin is a powerhouse, with healing, smites for extra damage and powerful Auras. 2) Gale - Casters have always been incredibly powerful. As Evocation Wizard Gale can use powerful AOE spells to kill or hurt multiple enemies. 3) Lae'zel - Fighter is good as it has much support from equipment. If Shadowheart had another domain, I would have put her at 3. But trickery is probably the worst domain in the game.
Is this base on lore or gameplay? If lore I think Halsin will be way lower since he got captured by goblins and not combat focused as you think. Laezel would be high but I doubt is the most powerful since he got bested by Shadowheart, arguably on par or slightly lower than Wyll, and none of them are as powerful as Gale or Karlach.
This is not even close, 1. Gale wizard lv1 multiclass cleric lv11 (iykyk). 2. Tie between paladin and throw barbarian. 3. Have to bring a dex class for lock picking so gloomstalker assassin

You can actually have both Halsin and Minthara now it just takes some time you have to Knock out Minthara

laezel, astarion and Shart. Easiest by far due to their multiclass potential and because they're fucking incredible

I just started playing Baldurs gate 3, and Shadow Hearts inflict wounds is the only spell that keeping the whole team going on.
I love gale and his fireball comes in so clutch sometimes
I always take minthara and Shadowheart, though I usually respec Shadowheart into a thief/rogue.
Jokes on you I got both halsin and minthara. If you knock her out in the goblin camp instead of killing her that game registers it as complete.

Mintharas does not stop you from getting halsin. It's very easy
You literally can have any origin char with any status and classes, just need to reset
I made Shadowheart a pure healer and nobody dies on her watch. Besides, she got a huge Armor Class.

@@colinnixon7739she is strong because her class is overpowered and her being gith also goes very well with fighter but she doesn’t gain any buffs from her companion quest so her power can be replicated by any player-githyanki fighter build, unlike companions like karlach, astarion, gale, shadowheart which get powers you can’t get on a regular tiefling, elf, human, half-elf.
@@colecampbell1906 if your shadowheart is missing more than other characters, either your build sucks or you don't know how to play a cleric 🤷
You actually can have bothminthara and halsin. It’s just awkward to make happen.
Na Karlach stronger then Halsin, it should be Lae'zel then Karlach, I bet on her over Minthara too but Minthara might be a lot closer to her then Halsin.
1. Lae'zel as she has a better hit chance & actually hits more with Great Weapon Master then Karlach.
2. Karlach.
3. Minthara.
Giving Shadowheart Ranger class for a extra attack while healing & Assassin feat is pretty nasty too. She definitely gotta be top 5.
Ehhhh I don’t ever play w halsin so idk,, but my astarion always nearly one shots in stealth. & minthara is equally just as broken with power. She one taps w smite spell all the time. They are the cleanup crew. People who say astarion doesn’t do damage clearly don’t know how to play this dude or build him lol.
My favorite companion is generic hireling number 3. Whats a... Halzin?
Idk but Minthara is too OP. I forgot what feat I gave her, she basically carried the whole party.
Ascended Astarion is nucking futs.
Shadow heart is OP if you build her well
Minthara is by far the most powerful of three, Lae'zel is more consistent with damage and survivability though, Halsin is good but needs party to support. Vanilla leveling obviously, no respec
The guy who can literally become a god is left off the most powerful list? That ain't right.
Me who causally changes their class completely…
Alright, I'm starting over
1) Minthara - Paladin is a powerhouse, with healing, smites for extra damage and powerful Auras.
2) Gale - Casters have always been incredibly powerful. As Evocation Wizard Gale can use powerful AOE spells to kill or hurt multiple enemies.
3) Lae'zel - Fighter is good as it has much support from equipment.
If Shadowheart had another domain, I would have put her at 3. But trickery is probably the worst domain in the game.
you can respec shadowheart to any other cleric domain and she does very well, i’ve got her on tempest cleric and she carries me a lot
Is this base on lore or gameplay?
If lore I think Halsin will be way lower since he got captured by goblins and not combat focused as you think. Laezel would be high but I doubt is the most powerful since he got bested by Shadowheart, arguably on par or slightly lower than Wyll, and none of them are as powerful as Gale or Karlach.
Why only Druids have the chidori(The lightening Call) at level 3?
This confused me. I do an awful lot of astarion sniping. He dosent do all the killing. But he definitely does most of the criticals
not including karlach in this is crazy, shes easily the most tanky companion in the game
Astarian, Karlach, Shadowheart imo without respecing would be the most powerful
This is not even close, 1. Gale wizard lv1 multiclass cleric lv11 (iykyk). 2. Tie between paladin and throw barbarian. 3. Have to bring a dex class for lock picking so gloomstalker assassin
Minthara is a Paladin lol.
Minthara jahira and Ascended astarion or soul coin karlach
Maybe dark justiciar shart but she misses alot
I mean you can just change any of them to whatever you want with Withers.
idk... since you can build them like u want every single one of them can solo the game
at the end its skill issue if you fail fights
when your looking at builds: Shadowheart, Wyll, Astarion
Default builds without any deviation? Nah.
