#Greatest Shadowheart Feats in Baldur’s Gate 3

Shadowheart isn’t my favourite character in Baldur’s Gate 3, however she is completely important to my occasion’s setup in fight. That’s particularly for these events trying to maintain Origin characters inside their canonical courses.

It’s all the time good to maintain a Cleric available, and since I can by no means deliver myself to roll one as my essential character, Shadowheart is my trusty standby. Clerics have an unimaginable spell listing, and it’s not all simply assist skills. I can’t inform you what number of instances Spirit Guardians or Flip Undead has gotten me out of an sudden jam.

Perfecting Shadowheart’s construct is generally about choosing the proper spells and tools, however the best feats will help you maximize every little thing else you’ve acquired happening. Listed below are my suggestions. 

Potential Rating Enchancment

The Potential Rating Enchancment is well one of the best feat for Shadowheart, identical to it’s for principally another character. As a Cleric, lots of Shadowheart’s greatest spells and talents depend on her Knowledge, and that is an immediate increase to her modifier that she will get as early as degree 4. There’s actually no higher choice for her, particularly that early within the sport. 

Warfare Caster

When you’ve taken no less than one Potential Rating Enchancment, Warfare Caster is price contemplating. It offers Shadowheart benefit on Focus saving throws and grants her the flexibility to forged Surprising Grasp as a Response rather than taking an Alternative Assault. My favourite Shadowheart spells, like Spirit Guardians, depend on Focus, and getting within the occasional zap on an enemy is enjoyable. This one is a no brainer. 

Sentinel

As a Cleric, Shadowheart doesn’t simply should depend on her spellcasting skills in fight. In the event you discover you’re pulling out her mace as a rule, you would possibly wish to contemplate taking Sentinel for her second or third feat. It lets her assault enemies with a Response once they efficiently hit one in every of your teammates with a melee assault. It additionally offers her benefit on Alternative Assaults, and causes enemies to cease transferring for the remainder of their flip once they get hit with one in every of her Alternative Assaults. It’s slightly extra area of interest than the opposite choices, however it has its makes use of. 

Spell Sniper

That is one other contender for Shadowheart’s second or third feat slot. It lowers the roll Shadowheart wants for vital hits with spells by one, and it offers her entry to both Bone Chill, Eldritch Grasp, Fireplace Bolt, Ray of Frost, Surprising Grasp, or Thorn Whip. This one is healthier for gamers who use Shadowheart extra like a full caster than a melee fighter. 

Cell

Within the honorable mentions class, we’ve Cell. This feat offers Shadowheart an additional three meters of motion, lets her keep away from troublesome terrain when utilizing the Sprint motion, and lets her keep away from Alternative Assaults when she efficiently hits the enemy with a melee assault earlier than transferring. These skills make Shadowheart play the assist position even higher by letting her get in vary of distant allies for therapeutic spells, and that further motion will be extraordinarily highly effective when you’ve got Spirit Guardians up. 

Alert 

One other honorable point out, Alert offers Shadowheart +5 to Initiative and prevents her from being shocked. Look, going earlier in fight is all the time an excellent factor. It may be particularly helpful for Shadowheart, who can forged some crowd management spells earlier than enemies rise up and transferring. If you could find the slot for this in your Shadowheart construct, you’ll positively get some use out of it.
