Which BG3 Classes Are Good At Magic?

Baldur’s Gate 3has a large array of classes to pick from, and almost all of them can use magic to some degree. However, melee-focused classes will often be pretty bad at using spells.

When it comes to using magic, these classes stand out in the game:

Wyll in BG3

SPELLCASTING ABILITY

Bard

You know music is more than a fancy - it is power. Through study and adventure, you have mastered song, speech, and the magic within

Charisma

Cleric

Clerics are representatives of the gods they worship, wielding potent divine magic for good or ill.

Wisdom

Druid

Druids channel the elemental forces of nature and share a deep kinship with animals. Mastery of Wild Shape allows them to transform into beasts from all over the Realms.

Paladin

Fuelled by the Oaths you swore to uphold justice and righteousness, you are a beacon of hope in dark times.

Ranger

Rangers are unrivaled scouts and trackers, honing a deep connection with nature in order to hunt their favored prey.

Sorcerer

Sorcerers are natural spellcasters, drawing on inherent magic from a gift or bloodline.

Warlock

Bound by a pact to an all-powerful patron, warlocks trade their loyalty for supernatural abilities and unique magic.

Wizard

Wizards master the arcane by specializing in individual schools of magic, combining ancient spells with modern research.

Intelligence

The Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, and Wizard are all Full Casters, meanwhile, the Paladin and the Ranger are half casters. The Warlock is its own special case, not counting as either a Full or Half caster.

C Tier

Starting with the lowest tier, the C Tier, the classes here are not exceptional at magic or anything, and their magic can just be a small boost to their abilities but definitely not their main asset.

B Tier

When it comes to the B tier, the classes here fare better when it comes to their magical abilities, however, other classes still outperform them, especially in spell options.

A Tier

The A-tier magic class is an incredible one, which is better than most others inBG3. Its usefulness can not be understated.

S Tier

The classes in this tier are the best of the best when it comes to magic inBG3.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available to play on PC and PlayStation 5.
