Baldur's Gate 3: Bard

Baldur's Gate 3 Bard is a highly versatile class excelling in spellcasting, support, and crowd control. This guide covers essential aspects such as optimal races like Tiefling and Elf, and the importance of prioritizing Charisma and Dexterity in ability points to maximize your Bard's effectiveness.

We explore key class features including Bardic Inspiration, Song of Rest, Jack of All Trades, and Expertise, which enhance both offensive and defensive capabilities. The guide details the best spells for various roles-offensive (e.g., Vicious Mockery, Thunderwave), defensive/support (e.g., Heroism, Calm Emotions), and utility (e.g., Disguise Self, Feather Fall).

We also analyze Bard subclasses - College of Lore, Valor, and Swords-highlighting their unique abilities and playstyles. A recommended build emphasizes a Zariel Tiefling in the College of Valor with the Criminal background, focusing on high Charisma and Dexterity.

Additional sections cover class progression, party synergy, equipment like the Cap of Curing and Blazer of Benevolence, and useful consumables to enhance combat readiness. For full details, consult the comprehensive Bard guide and Best spells for Bard pages.
