Best subclass for Lae’zel in Baldur’s Gate 3

Battle Master is the best subclass for Lae’zel’s companion build in Baldur’s Gate 3. Since Lae’zel is a Fighter, you will get to pick her subclass when she reaches level 3. Githyanki warriors are known for their versatility, and Battle Master is the most versatile Fighter subclass.

The Battle Master makes use of two useful features:

• Superiority Dice: This is a new resource that allows you to get extra attacks.
• Battle Manoeuvre: Different types of attacks that make use of the Superiority Dice resource.

Best Ability Score for Lae’zel in Baldur’s Gate 3

• Strength: 16 (+2)
• Dexterity: 14
• Constitution: 16 (+1)
• Intelligence: 8
• Wisdom: 10
• Charisma: 10

The main focus of this build will be Strength, followed by Constitution and Dexterity. This ensures that you are a swift attacker who deals tons of damage while possessing high survivability and initiative.

You can go ahead and dump Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma. You want your Lae’zel tough as nails, and you can use other characters for face encounters, puzzle solving, investigation, and other off-combat skill checks.

Best skills for Lae’zel in Baldur’s Gate 3

These are the most important skills for Lae’zel in Baldur’s Gate 3:

• Acrobatics (Dexterity)
• Athletics (Strength)

Best build for Lae’zel in Baldur’s Gate 3

The best companion build for Lae’zel in Baldur’s Gate 3 is given below. Since the Battle Master Fighter build lacks access to spells, you don’t need to make choices for every single level.

LEVEL	FEATURE
1	Fighting Style: Great Weapon Fighting
2	Action Surge – Class Action
3	Subclass: Battle Master — Manoeuvre: Disarming Attack, Trip Attack, Riposte
4	Feat: Great Weapon Master
5	Extra Attack – Class Feature
6	Ability Improvement: Strength +2 or Sentinel Feat
7	Manoeuvre: Precision Attack, Pushing Attack
8	Feat: Alert
9	Indomitable – Class Feature
10	Manoeuvre: Goading Attack, Sweeping Attack
11	Improved Extra Attack – Class Feature
12	Ability Improvement: Strength +2

Picking Sentinel Feat instead of Ability score improvement of +2 will synergize quite nicely with Riposte, making Lae’zel the perfect Battle Master, and will allow her to control the battlefield as she pleases.

Position Lae’zel as the vanguard and don’t let enemies pass through her by using her reactions, maneuvers, and Opportunity attacks. Pinning them down against structures, or creating bottlenecks in hallways are good strategies.

Lastly, using Lae’zel’s intrinsic Githyanki abilities: Enhanced Leap and Misty Step, are good ways to reposition her in case she needs to move away or leap into the fray.
