For subclasses an S-Tier indicates a subclass whose features strongly compliment the base class, either by adding new role options to the class or by perfecting the original role.Ī Tier: Classes that excel at their given role. A class that offers something worth building your entire team strategy around. S Tier: Consistently amazing classes where you feel it when you do not have one on your squad. I will be using a similar tier system to the one I used in my Race Tier List. Probably the most important reason is that power rankings and tier lists are just a fun part of gaming culture that I enjoy! If you do not enjoy them, I think you will still find a lot of helpful advice in this article anyways. Another reason is that I am hopeful that articles like this and the discussions that follow them will help Larian balance the game even better. One is that thinking about the relative strength of certain options compared to others is a great way to understand those options, which is to say that having power rankings helps us get the most out of our favorite sub-classes. Now some of you may be asking “why even have a tier ranking at all then?” There are a few reasons. My primary goal in writing this is to help you readers get the most out of the class you want to play, because they are all really fun! Towards that end, I have included a build outline for every subclass for you to try. Because of all of this, I want this article to be more guide than tier list. Classes that I will give an S-tier will still be bad if you build them poorly, and classes I will give a C-tier can be great if you make the right choices. Moreover, I find the class system in BG3 to be quite balanced overall. This means that ranking classes is much more difficult than ranking the others.

Of the three it is classes that are the most complex and are going to be the most impactful to your runs. So far, I have ranked abilities, sub-races, and now classes. Before diving into my tier ranking system, let’s take a moment to discuss how I expect this guide will be different from the two that precede it.
