All 10 Baldur’s Gate 3 Companions, Ranked From Worst To Best

Balder’s Gate 3 has some absolutely fantastic companions who join you on your journey. Some, admittedly, are not as great as others. Though let’s be honest, none of them are even close to bad. But alas, we cannot put all of them at number one.

From the demonic energy of both the warlock Wyll and the survivor of Avernus Karlach, through the cleric with a secret Shadowheart, to the rogue with a thirst for…well a lot of things, Astarion, there are some great characters. But where do they rank? Who is the best romantic partner? Who is the best in combat?

Which companion is the best in combat?

[TheMindmerchant]

"Karlach is bad because she's a barbarian but her story is good." "Minsc is a ranger but he's great cause he was in previous games!" At least have some consistency in how you're ranking them.

[KingShakakil]

Wyll and Karlach under Minthara, Minsc, Jaheira and Halsin is wild

[mandalf]

Respec Wyll if you’re missing
Karlach as a Barb is extremely powerful
Shadowheart is probably the most useful companion in the game

[Khaladryel]

You lost all credibility when you put Karlach in 9th place XD She is the best <3

[benjaminmoore]

Shadowheart, wyll, and karlach are my team and i will never change it until my next playthrough.

[adipyramidadmal]

They put the best companions in last and second to last....

[DemonicBandaid]

Putting Jaheira above Shadow and Karlach is wild

[carterpewderschmitgaming]

Being a jolly little Halfling character and interacting with Lae'zel is absolute gold. Especially if she still somehow falls for you like my first playthrough

[cheshire]

Karlach and Wyll are my favs and clean up! This list is weird

[Tahaka]

More like ranking the companion class. Ranking them based on specific abilities (like Astarion's vampire) or stories would be more useful as we could always respect the classes :/

[LivingGuy]

This video serves as another example as to why I only care about Pitch Meetings

[Enchilada_Man]

Who made this list and what were they smoking?

[youtubeaccount]

Insane that you spoil a twist within the first minute!

[greatestever]

What’s your guys main squad???for me it’s shadow heart Astarion and wyll. But in act 3 I replace Willy with Minsc

[AmbientDisguise]

Machine gun warlock is one of the most powerful builds in the game and his pact is probably the strongest pact, also when tf does eldritch blast miss? Put down the spell darkness, have the two eldritch blast perks and devils sight, and watch as nothing has immunity to your damage type, nothing can come near you and nothing can hit you. You also get your spell slots back on a short rest, use them intelligently and you’re good, one of the best for soloing tactician!

[jerryv]

I like gale and shadowheart cos gale can summon shovel and have a minion fighting alongside if you chose the correct dialogues you can have shovel as a spell permanent and shadowheart can summon spiritual weapon and have a weapon fight alongside adds a lil muscle to the team atleast

[nairav]

Is this a higher level thing or are you just bad at the game? Barbarian are insane damage and tankiness with rage and savage.

[joshreichardt]

I multi classed Karalch with fighter she becomes much more versatile when doing so.

Are you able to change the skin color and hair style of the companions? They were always different in the video.
