Fighters are perhaps the most versatile class all-around Baldur’s Gate 3. The martial class is more than capable of fulfilling many different roles in the party; It offers the opportunity for many unique fighter builds BG3. Although the versatility of play style can make choosing the right fits a bit of a headache, some pair naturally with the archetypal warriors.
While most classes in Baldur’s Gate 3 Win Three Feats Over the game’s three acts, fighters gain an extra feat at level sixAfter adding to the customization of each character. This really helps make each fighter unique and adaptable, which I found myself doing as my Eldtrich Knight character feels completely different from my Battle Lord or playing as Lae’zel. So, while everyone’s fighter will have different priorities, this list has some great options for most builds.

Charger – Open up new attack options
Running full speed into the enemy has never been more fun
Charger is an excellent choice for any fighter and does exactly what it sounds like by letting the character run full speed into enemies. The feat Opens up two new ways to interact with enemies in battleThe first is the Charger: Weapon Attack. This ability uses the fighter’s action and bonus action to charge and attack the first enemy in the path without provoking any attacks of opportunity.
|
Charger |
Weapon attack: Charge forward to make a weapon attack without provoking opportunity attacks. soar: Charge forward and push an enemy. |
|---|
The second option is Charger: Shove, which again uses both action and bonus action. This time, the fighter charges forward and pushes the first enemy in the way. This also does not trigger opportunity attacks; The thrust distance depends on the fighter’s strength and the target’s weight. The Charger Fit is An Excellent Way for fighters to preposition in battle Without provoking attacks of opportunity and while still attacking the enemy.

Martial Adept – Win battle maneuvers
More combat options regardless of chosen subclass
The Battle Lord subclass is considered by many to be the best fighter subclass in BG3. It gives the fighter superiority dice, which can enhance their attacks or perform new ones. The Martial Adept feat is fantastic because it gives the fighter The opportunity to learn two maneuvers from the Battle Master list.
|
Martial Adept |
Learn two maneuvers from the Battle Master list. Get 1 Superiority D, which is regained on short and long rests. |
|---|
This works brilliantly for those looking for more versatility when playing as a Champion or Eldritch Knight, but it’s also an excellent choice for a Battle Lord. Fighter Master Fighters learn three maneuvers at level three, two more at level seven, and a final two at level 10 for seven. That would push The number a battle master fighter can learn to nine out of a possible 14, Ensuring that they are spoiled for choice when in combat.

Durable – make the most out of short rests
Durable is a fantastic feat and one of my favorites for frontline classes. First durable Increases the fighter’s Constitution ability score by oneto a maximum of 20. This will directly translate to more hit points overall, especially if the constitution score is left at an odd number during character creation. While this may not look like a vast improvement, this change can make the difference between a plus two or plus three modifiers, which impacts hit points.
|
Durable |
Plus one to Constitution score. Regain full hit points on a short rest. |
|---|
However, the best feature of durable is that it allows the fighter to Regain their full hit points when they have a short rest. Usually, short rests only restore half a character’s hit points, rounded down, so durability can keep fighters going for longer between long rests. This also pairs wonderfully with fighters who regain their class actions Action Surge and Second Wind on a short rest.

Heavy Armor Master – Get even more protection
Reduced damage taken on the frontline
Some feats are deceptively simple but can have huge benefits, and Heavy Armor Master is definitely one of them. Like all fighters have proficiency with heavy armor in BG3It makes sense to help them get the most out of it beyond the usual higher AC. That’s where the Heavy Armor Master feat comes in because increasing the fighter’s Strength ability score by one Reduces the damage they take.
|
Heavy Armor Lord |
Increase Strength score by one. Incoming damage from non-magical attacks is decreased by three. |
|---|
While wearing heavy armor, All incoming damage from non-magical attacks is decreased by three With this feat. And although three points of damage may not sound much, it soon adds up, especially with groups of enemies. This is a fantastic feat at lower levels in Act 1, where enemies will often use more mundane weapons like swords or bows.
6
Sentinel – Excel in battlefield control
More options with reactions and attacks of opportunity
Sentinel is an excellent feat for a frontline character looking to gain better control over enemies in combat. The feat provides three different ways to offer support to other party members by allowing the fighter to use their attack of opportunity reaction in a new way. With Sentinel: Revenge, the fighter can Use their response to make a weapon attack against an enemy in melee range that has just attacked an ally.
|
Sentinel |
Revenge: Use reaction to make a weapon attack against a target that has just attacked an ally. snake: Targets hit with opportunity attacks cannot move. Opportunity Advantage: Advantage on opportunity attacks. |
|---|
Sentinel: Snar adds to this by Preventing enemies hit by the fighter’s attacks of opportunity from moving. This is great for keeping more formidable enemies away from squishier party members if they try to reposition. Finally, Sentinel: Opportunity Advantage gives the fighter an advantage on all their attack rolls for attacks of opportunity to increase the odds of landing a hit to keep an enemy locked in place.

Great Weapon Master – More attacks and damage
Take down more enemies with toggleable feature
Fighters benefit significantly from being able to use all weapon types in BG3Opening up tons of options when you put together the perfect fighter build. And with an abundance of great two-handed weapons in it BG3Opting for this fighting style at level one is a fantastic choice. This can be further enhanced by the Great Weapon Master feat, which Opens up an extra attack and the chance to deal even more damage.
|
Great weapon master |
Bonus Attack: After killing a target or landing a critical hit, make another melee weapon attack as a bonus action. All in Take minus five penalties to attack rolls for 10 points of extra damage. |
|---|
With Great Weapon Master, when the fighter lands a critical hit with a two-handed melee weapon or kills a creature, they can make another weapon attack as a bonus action on that turn. With the toggleable passive ability, the action can Take a minus five penalty to their attack rolls with two-handed or versatile melee weapons in exchange for plus 10 to the damage dealt.
4
Savage Attacker – Gain advantage on damage rolls
Never get the minimal damage again
A fantastic feat for any martial class is Savage Attacker, which has a simple but impressive passive feature. With Savage Attacker, the damage dice are rolled twice When the fighter lands a melee weapon attack, and the highest result is used. This can soon add up to huge amounts of damage at higher levels, particularly with fighters getting three attacks per turn at level 11, ensuring that no attack ever gets the disappointingly minimal damage.

The Savage Attacker fits perfectly with any fighter items or equipment that can lower the critical hit threshold or trigger critical hits.

are worth keeping an eye out for like The damage dice would be doubled and then rolled with advantage. With the right equipment and buffs, this can easily take out several enemies in one hit.

Alert – bonus to initiative and prevent surprise
Stop the enemy getting the drop on the party
Agility is another favorite feat of mine, as it benefits almost all classes to be as early in the initiative order as possible. With alertness, the fighter will Get a plus-five bonus to their start roll. It can be more improved with things like these 
Sentinel shield
which gives a plus three to initiative and the flame enamelled armor which gives a plus two bonus.

alert |
Gain plus five bonus to initiative and cannot be surprised. |
|---|
But Alert has a second feature that’s perfect for frontline characters like fighters: it prevents them from being surprised. in BG3, Surprise prevents the affected characters from taking actions or reactions on their turneffectively skipping them. Having the fighter be able to attack the enemy for even one round while the rest of the party is surprised can make a huge difference and prevent squishier characters from taking too much damage.
Elixir of vigilanceProvides the same effects as Alert by preventing the drinker from being surprised with a plus five to initiative. Keeping one of these in stock is a good plan for tough fights as the initiative bonus stacks to give plus 10 to initiative rolls.

Mage Slayer – Better attacks against spellcasters
Better chances to save throw and destroy their concentration
Sending martial classes against spellcasters can sometimes put the fighter at a severe disadvantage. Fortunately, the Mage Slayer evens the playing field a bit, giving the fighter some awesome features to deal with pesky enemy wizards, sorcerers or clerics. First, Mage Slayer gRants the fighter advantage on saving throws against spells thrown at them in melee range, And I found this a lifesaver when fighting the Bone Cultists in Act 3.
|
Mage Slayer |
Saving Throw Advantage: Advantage on saving throws against spells cast on character in melee range. Attack Caster: Use a reaction to attack casters if they throw in melee range. break concentration: Enemies hit have disadvantage on concentration checks. |
|---|
The second feature then allows the fighter to Use their reaction to attack enemy spellcasters in melee range if they use any spell. Finally, any enemies hit by the fighter’s attack have disadvantage on concentration saving throws to stop their spells. This is perfect for situations where one or more party members are incapacitated due to a spell such as 
Stop man
Hypnotic pattern.

Shield Master – Even better protection with shields
Improved Dexterity saving throw to reduce damage
The iconic image of a fighter is one of an armor-clad warrior, weapon in one hand and shield in the other. The last fighter feat is Shield Master, and it’s perfect for those who prefer the classic sword and board fighter archetypes. First, shield master Gives the fighter a flat plus two bonus to Dexterity saving throws while using a shieldwhich is very useful against spells like Fireball.
|
shield lord |
Plus two bonus to Dexterity saving throws when using a shield. Block: If a spell forces a Dexterity save, use a reaction to reduce or negate the damage. |
|---|
However, it is the Shield Master: Block feature that makes it so useful for fighters in Baldur’s Gate 3. With this, the fighter can Use their reaction when a spell forces them to make a Dexterity saving throw. This behaves in the same way as Evasion and will allow them to take half damage on a failed save and no damage on a successful save.
