Mathematically it's really bad though, it is definitely not worth the cost of a feat.

Cooool!!

booooooring! *yawn* who cares????????????????????

“You’re kind of a wizard, Harry” perfect 😂

Magic initiate makes a viable Cha paladin build that sacrifices very little. Take druid for Shillelagh with lots of remaining freedom on the other cantrip and spells. At the cost of a bonus action every minute you get Cha to attack and damage on a d8 bludgeoning weapon. The save bonus of your aura is crazy and you're free to balance the rest of your stats into Dex, Con, and Wis for great saves, or put them elsewhere and still be resilient. All the control spells are max DC just like a full spell caster. Also can take cleric cantrips instead of a fighting style so you have ranged presence with Sacred Flame or Toll (plus Guidance) and be able to stand in the middle of the party to maximize aura coverage. And if you want to burst with smites you still can. Probably just won't want grab the Str based weapon feats.

I would cast the spell, I would summon Barry from bee movie 😂😂

Awesome animations! I think I only used the 2014 version of Giant Insect once when I played Druid-it was much more fun to become the insect instead 😆

🥳🫂👍🏿

The battlefield friends killed me 😂

Dad feat

Frigid Hail (the blizzard made flesh)

Bard isn't in the top because they aren't Dragon Slayers but Dragon Smashers

Alert. I wanna go first

The magic initiate and skilled feats are both really interesting, but I know deep down I'm going to pick healer or musician XD

Killing it with the production value! The diagrams were awesome

@1:11 AMAZING transition

Pumped forn this video

Drakewarden (Fizban's Ranger subclass) is unironically really good against dragons. You can summon your drake as the same type as the dragon to get resistance to its element, the drake has a fly speed of 40ft (unless mounted), and the level 11 feature can use any dragon element and can originate from you or your drake.

Anybody knows where the video fragment at 12:05 is from?

But which class makes the best dragon's layer? 😏

Definitely Ranger, they are the best class

Off the bat, I’m guessing paladin

Druid + any heavy hitter. Not druid by themselves, but with a solid damage dealer…eeeeasy.

Druid

For those who somehow don't know, Wildheart is the BG3 name for Totem Barbarian. Also, the Monk requires concentration to fly - you're using Ki to cast the spell, but fall damage is probably negligible at worst. The only thing that allows monk to not concentrate is the new One D&D which I'd be shocked to see anyone using. Kinda stopped ranking things in my head once I realised you were using these since I'm not touching it with a 10ft pole. Still, I like the vibe of monks and rogues being the unexpected Dragon Slayers as opposed to the typical knights and warriors we see in a lot of media.

Title should be which dnd martial class is the best dragon slayer

This feels like a fun aftet noon we all build the best unique dragon slayer And watch as the Dice gods laugh at us

And what about warlock?

It's specifically elements monk that is especially good vs dragons, if we just look at the average member of each class, I would very much say the ranger has most stuff covered Also, Absorb elements is expanded content *not* legacy content if I am not mistaken, legacy content refers to content which was replaced by the new books, while absorb elements has never been reprinted, so it is just expanded content

Well monk tend to run out of ki point quickly and again a dragon you hope that you beat it quickly

Mages always at the top = Anyone who plays a martial being an absolute madlad.

the 3.5 prestige class called Dragonslayer in the draconomicon supplement.

"Paladins don't have a way to deal with the flight" *laughs in Aasimar*

"Barbarians have no answer to flight" Did you just forgot the eagle Barbarian?

Artificer is not a full caster. and my vote is for the Monk. I love monks.

blade song wizard solos

Its worth mentioning that monks will eventually get proficiency in con saves and get a reroll on all saves, and a grappling focused build can take goliath for large form and grapple the dragon to the ground for your teammates to target it.

Guessing based on build alone and not flavor. Rogues can negate breath weapon easily, deal solid damage, and reduce damage from an attack every round as a reaction. Also getting bonus action disengage makes this a solid option to navigate terrain and avoid the dragon while still getting sneak attacks in using the aim feature from Tasha's while the dragon is airborne. No competition here at this level

I don't see a monk beating a dragon. Monk in the air is like delivery. Doesn't mean monk is close to the dragon. Then you have to assume he has trained fighting in the air. Ranger, I keep trying to think damage they will trade off. Would a dragon even stay in the air. Not a 1:1 but best balance.

Wizard. Everyone knows you need a Wizard to take down a dragon.
