Classes in Baldur’s Gate 3 are a lot more intricate and in-depth than they seem. Each class has their own set of subclasses that players can select when starting their campaign. Looking towards the tank-oriented Fighter, you’ll have the option of selecting between 3 different subclasses. Battle Master is one of these options, allowing Fighters to have a more tactical approach to their combat. As you level, you’ll be able to earn some new interesting features from this subclass, namely one called Maneuvers. This feature allows players to choose extra actions from a list of unique attacks tied to the subclass. We’re going to level up further and take a look at the best Maneuvers in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3).
Best Maneuvers in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)
When players level up their Fighter to level 3, you’ll get the option to select a subclass. In order to use Maneuvers, you’ll need to select the Battle Master subclass. After selecting the subclass, you’ll then get to choose 3 Maneuvers to use. If you don’t know how it works, players will gain 4 d8 superiority dice (upped to d10s at level 10) and can spend these on their Maneuvers actions. Dice will refresh after short and/or long rests, and players will be able to obtain 7 total Maneuvers by the time they reach max level. And with 14 total options, choosing the right ones can make all the difference in a fight.
