TOP 4* BUILDS TO WIN YOUR HONOUR RUN - BG3

[@MorganaEvelyn]

What's your most cooked honour moment? Mine was Squidward taking every opportunity attack and edging on his chain lightning leaving my level 1 Gale to carry his worthless ass Tips & Tricks for Solo Honour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGW9mKtooMSHoLM Patch 7 Solo Walkthrough: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5KvfJiZe5p2hc0 Honour Party Template: drive.google.com/file/d/1iqPT3rGJ6-YFtMNot5GGkIVCYUS_hMjf/view

[@irontoof]

Fighting Marcus at Last Light, killed him easily, and a couple of horrors, then got to watch as Isobel was so far down the turn order she got KO'd and kidnapped before she even had a chance to mess anything up. On that day I learned that the game WANTS her in the Myrkul fight and I should stop resisting.

[@MorganaEvelyn]

Isobel on stream today eating an opportunity attack to be paralyzed into a crit was on brand for her 😭

[@-Teres]

Just one from a long list: Ignored the explosive mushroom at the "ladder" to the fish people because I'm an enhance leap + feather fall addict and I'm not stopping for that shit. didn't even get to see the explosion on my way out, just the game-over screen.

[@alanarunmavath6005]

Mine was getting smited by vlaakith for trying and failing to detect her thoughts since I was curious what that interaction was ending my pretty good honour run there.

[@stephengibbons4771]

I lost my most recent Honour mode attempt in the Gauntlet of Shar when the Book you need to unlock the gate in the library where the Spear of night is hidden ended up glitching through the floor after getting hit by an explosion during the fight. Couldn't get the book or spear, tried to enter the Shadowveil anyways, Shart turned on the party and killed us all in one round (she had been respecced into a Tavern Brawler Monk).

[@Leon0694]

4 builds that actually work, no clickbait, straight to the point and well put together video, thank you for the edit

[@The_Red_Hand]

As someone who's put 3,000 Hrs into BG3, these builds 10000x are what she says they are. All of them are fantastic builds - can't go wrong. Great work!

[@CallMeQueue]

An underrated part of barb thrower that I never see anyone talk about is how you can just throw a guy off a cliff consistently. Just run up, improv weapon move them to a ledge, and yeet them to an instakill.

[@MorganaEvelyn]

[@GridicA]

RIP gear (I'm such a loot gobblin).

[@MacGregor3]

dno if they changed it, but so many mobs just get tp'd back if they got knocked off. I bought the game when honour mode came out and did it blind and I almost died on the final stretch of the gauntlet cus a mindflayer got knocked off by a nautiloid bomb and tp'd back up right in front of me and stunned my entire party. My mates had talked alot about how fun it was to throw mobs off cliffs, so it took me a while of frustration before I googled and found out that hm puts restrictions on chasm kills.

[@Tryingcounts]

I think it depends on the enemy... Unless something exists in HM (not played HM): mind flayers can fly so maybe that makes them immune. The fish beings can't be thrown into anything that has water as they pop back up...e.g. boaaal can die by throwing him off the ledge into the river below (what a song) but the fish people pop right back up 😅. Crafty Larian. ​@@MacGregor3

[@MacGregor3]

@@Tryingcounts havent actually looked it up, its defo honour mode only though based on teh tactician playthroughs ive done with mates after. In my experience it was anything with legendary abilities was 100% no chasm kills and felt like most "named" mobs had a chasm protection as well.

[@ricbulow]

Said it in live chat as well, but after struggling with Honour mode for literally months (I do not have much time to play) I was actually giving up and not find it worth trying again. Until I found your channel and your Tavern Brawler Monk gameplay..... Being a sucker for monks, I wanted to give it a go, because..... Worst thing that could happen, was me filing again, after all. But holy heck..... I made it through and I do not think there was one moment through the playthrough where I feared I'd die. The build is just top tier and really rewards you for playing it consistently as a monk. It felt so good!

[@MorganaEvelyn]

I'm so glad you found something that resonated with you (no pun intended) and felt good to play. Congrats and thank you for sharing your experience. I was a snob on Monk for so long but when I gave it a go it's so much silly fun I adore it now 😊

[@strrsss]

ive always loved cold spells in this game but i never knew how to play it well so your ice sorcerer build was incredible for my honour runs, thank you for blessing us with these amazing builds

[@MorganaEvelyn]

yeah it took me a while to figure out ice as well but i love the ice spells so much. glad i could share the joy with you 😊

[@jeremybujon3733]

@@MorganaEvelyn Hi, I love what you're doing and the build ideas but I just don't understand how the hell did you get so many spellslots on your sorcerer ?? I mean at lvl 6 you got like 9 sorcery points and 8 lvl 2 spells ... How ? 😅😂 Otherwise, great work, love your personnality !

[@MorganaEvelyn]

@jeremybujon3733 look up the stripping video on my channel for spell slots

[@pattyli7976]

This video is incredibly validating! Currently playing my first honor mode run without looking up guides, super nice to find out I built 3 of the top 4 on the list. The one exception being that I'm using a fire sorcerer with fire acuity hat, which I believe deserves an honorable mention it's so freaking good lol. Great video!

[@grannygoodtea5882]

I think that line about what matters most is game knowledge and adaptability is so spot on and actually a lesson I learned when I played Divinity Original Sin 2 with some friends years ago. There were so many fights that we got stuck on and it took hours of just retrying them to win. And then the actual winning attempt was laughably easy. All because we positioned our characters a little differently, or change how we focused enemies.

[@MorganaEvelyn]

Yep I got stuck at the Alice fight for a while until I thought about how to solve it. Love that about these games

[@maxedoutvibes]

You bring up a fantastic point about how its not a good idea to judge a build based on stuff you can get for it in the LATE game. The viability of the build should be judged based more on its performance in the first half of the game, act 1 especially!

[@nicoleclimbsthings]

Your party build template is so incredible! Your break down of the gear by acts and solo vs. party is so unbelievably helpful, but then you also provide links to everything! This is a godsend!

[@nickw4898]

This is the most earnest, straightforward, well explained build video I've seen. Even so including the disclaimer in the beginning about HOW you play matters more than build. 11/10 earned a sub.

[@irontoof]

I'm allergic to casters, so the Bardadin or Throwbarb take the Sorcerer's spot for me, but I can confirm these builds are fun to curbstomp Honour Mode with. They're strong individually, they're crazy strong together, and all really well presented here. Really enjoy it every time we get to hear your thought process, thank you for putting this together!

[@MorganaEvelyn]

I kinda miss Throwbarb I might try it again sometime. But Bardadin is a perfect compromise for someone who prefers martials over spell casting (me)

[@irontoof]

the angles on the throws drive me crazy sometimes, but throwing things (and people) is just way too much fun to give up. Smite ASMR do be activating all the neurons tho, I have to agree

[@steelwind2334]

Bardadin is pure caster BTW. You just cast smite all game as your goto spell.

[@irontoof]

wym? If it was a caster I'd break out in hives and die, I'm allergic. Those are bonk slots you're thinking of, they do look like spell slots on the UI tho, I see the confusion

[@island_dancer]

​@@irontoof The toughest boss for a Throwbarb to beat is a door frame. I swear to god...

[@bdl6779]

The thing I love about this channel is that while I’ve beaten honor mode like 10 times, but used different builds, and this channel plus the mod community keeps giving me more fun options!

[@doloresabernathy9809]

Thanks for this guide! it shows you tried hard to make it intelligible to dummies like me and it is! I also have 2000 hours in game but your ability to beat the game at level 1 solo and other strange builds, and your deep knowledge of the game makes me feel like in most of your videos that I am listening to a PhD level quantum mechanics lecture. Your command of this game is just amazing. Bravo!

[@Matt_545]

I stumbled upon this video by chance, about to finish my FIRST playthrough, and starting my next. I flicked through a few of the other vids and instantly subbed. Amazing work.

[@Italianchef26]

Congrats on passing 69.420 subscribers You Stealth Archer build is what got me through Honor Mode the first time I tried. I'll definitely borrow some more of these builds for my next runs, I'm waiting for crossplay to be added to the game so I can do new runs with my friends who are on PC. Love your videos, hope you continue making them shadowfeet

[@welldelara]

Very good video. In my party, I always run: - Swords Bardadin Tav - Stealth Archer Astarion - Light Cleric Shart (respec) - Battle Master Baezel (1 level War Cleric) I am used to this party and it's very consistent. I could change the Light Cleric for a Sorcerer or Druid and I think it would go well too

[@ewan7607]

I found a multiclass of 6 swords bard / 4 thief rogue / 2 fighter got me all the way through (picking half wood elf makes the early game easier due to the extra movement speed and shields) It brings both insane damage and useful utility with spells and with charisma and expertise you can work as an amazing face. With the build I beat Orin as urge without any effort in 1 round. With your hand crossbows, extra attack, 2 bonus actions, action surge, potion of speed and Slashing Flourish you abuse the action economy. You also bring useful spells like longstrider, enhanced ability, hold person and stinking cloud. Plus your AC can get crazy with Defensive Flourish and yanti scale mail or armour of agility. Song of rest is also just nice to have. Used it along with your Ice sorcerer build, a Paladin / warlock and light cleric / fighter to pick up my golden dice!

[@5-Volt]

I love these pew-pew builds! 😂 Sword bard is my favorite subclass in BG 3 & I'm a bit bummed they didn't bring it into 5e like this in the new phb. My favorite build is very similar. I go Sword bard 6, Thief 3, battle master 3. Debating on if should try yours for the extra feat or asi, but having blade flourishes AND battle master maneuvers refresh on short rest makes every single attack unique & you have so much versatility & damage.

[@SlightlyUnderAverage]

@@5-Volt I’m currently doing the same as this but Assassin instead of Thief. Sacrificed the extra bonus action for advantage vs unprepared enemies due to sharpshooter!

[@legumin01]

Great video as usual! Its really cool to see so many hours of gameplay and accumalted knowloage about the game so well synthesized! I confess i was kinda of a sucker for spellcasters, but seeing your videos made me realize how much martials go hard af. Especially stealth archer! I played a lot of skyrim and I see this build as kind of a tribute to skyrim stealth archer, though i remember you mentioning this build was inspired by DO2 stealth archer. As a spellcaster enjoyer, your ice sorcerer build was a breath of fresh air to me, cause I never had thought about a sorcerer build that relied on cantrip casting and ice spells and always felt kinda stuck to storm sorcerer. It was really good to learn something new! Anyways, keep rocking ev ❤

[@MorganaEvelyn]

Ice Sorc got me back into spell casting then it lead to my sorcadin hyper fixation haha. Glad to see you're being martial pilled by a smooth brain like me ❤️

[@JeffJefferson-hb4ve]

Trying the stealth archer with your Shadowheart's solo loadout in honor mode for the first time honestly felt like someone had stretched out Mjölnir into a longbow, handed it to me, then asked me to go hogwild on Toril. Thank you for your effort in making such an ADHD-friendly build! It's great for when I wanna action RPG around and pick up all the loot.

[@vanjamarkovic5865]

I do not know if this is mentioned anywhere, but there is a cool micro which you can pull off if you are playing a ranged build. You can target an enemy for an attack, fire the arrow and as the arrow is flying enter turn based mode. If you failed a stealth check you would then enter combat with both your action and bonus action and if you are passed level 5 you would have also procced the bonus attack for free. Does not require dipping into assassin to work.

[@Kazoo_Le_Kazoo]

I absolutely love all these builds guides and I'm definitely going to try them all, thank you so much for all your content !!

[@westleysteele2366]

In my successful honor mode run, my character was 6 swords bard, 4 thief rogue, 2 fighter and used hand crossbows. The amount of damage I did was crazy, plus having high persuasion. It was awesome. Burst round was like 10 attacks with sharpshooter.

[@the.wildspark]

Holy cheeks 16:18 sent my last surviving brain cell to the fugue plane and back. Really nice and cozy video and amazing showcase of the undoubtedly strongest classes in the game. I'm glad a lot of new players will be able to have access to the valuable information that you provide, honestly wish I had this information when I did my first honour run. Throwzerker and OH Monk have always been adored choices for my party and I rarely run without them, though as of late I catch myself adding a Stealth Archer more times than not because it's just so much fun to play. Definitely prefer martials over casters and if I had to choose a caster it would probably be an endgame support addition. To be fair casters aren't unfun overall for me, it's just incredibly annoying how long it takes for them to be even remotely relevant.

[@MorganaEvelyn]

lmao omg lilly your comment made me snort im glad its a cozy video (and that you're trying the stealth archer meme) ❤ ive been trying to make casters a silly broken mess i'll get it eventually

Watching you play gloomstalker, got me through my first HM completion last month! Tried the build out by getting to Act3, solo-tactician. After that, a careful HM attempt (remembering all that MM taught me) with 3 party members that were used for buffs and combat cleanup.

[@MorganaEvelyn]

Congrats on your HM completion. That's so awesome to hear that. I'm happy to be of some assistance 😊

[@-Teres]

Great video, clear and straight to the point, presenting actual strong builds. Thanks The Stealth Archer is definitely my favourite. Not only did i enjoy watching your big series back in the day, which taught me so much about the game, but playing Stealth Archer also got me interested in testing the games limits, difficulties and ultimately different builds too. So my nearly 1k hours in this game are mostly due to this gem of a build.

Stealth archer was insane ty so much for all the work you put in. I decided I wanted to be a bit fair in act 3 and still 1 turned ansur and Raph in turned based mode (with an opening attack out of combat).

[@JeremyAndersonBoise]

Love hearing your advice, because you’re an absolute killer. Digressive note for no reason: Running the D20 initiative mod makes the balance so much better, it really makes encounters exciting and unpredictable again, I will never go back to D4 initiative.

[@ZoldZsolt]

Been running true initiative before honour mode came out, it just feels so good. Granted, the Myrkul fight almost kicked my ass first time on honour mode, coz i didn't prepare for it properly, and the mind flayer won initiative over everyone, and stunned the whole party 🤣 Lessons learned tho, the hard way: preparation is king in honour mode.

[@jfast8256]

I DM a "pack tactics" rule. Basically, any team that has been working together for at least 2 weeks, get 21 initiative per 2 members (+10 for 1). They assign the initiative and add their initiative bonus among all members in the pack. This allows them to decide which of them moves first or which of them move together. The downside is that the enemies follow the same rule. While the party can put their strikers up front in initiative, the enemies MOST CERTAINLY put their spell casters and leaders at initiative 15+ while keeping the mooks at 5-. That being said I typically have enemies initiative cascade. Take a group of 6. 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3. the 18 will be a wizard or cleric whereas the 3 will be a low level mook. BG3 method almost matched what I made, except BG3 made it very 1 sided towards the player. My method gives both sides a chance to do it.

[@bugcatcherharold5315]

I finally beat honour mode with 4 Tempest Cleric/4 Thief Rogue/4 Lightning Dragon Sorcerer. I did the angelic reprieve thing and had a full rogue hireling steal a bunch of chain lightning scrolls. Then with a bloodlust elixir I would quicken create water to wet my enemies, use the Thief's second bonus action to quicken chain lightning on a potion of haste that would both proc bloodlust elixir and chain into enemies, then I'd use the three actions to do more chain lightnings. If anything ever survived that first turn I could do 5 chain lightnings in the next turn. Also one of those chain lightnings can have a max damage roll.

[@alumpyone13]

Love your videos! I found the monk build especially fun in late game and will be attempting the stealth archer soon. I've found a full 12 lvl light cleric stacked with radiance gear to be extremely powerful, mobile, and an amazing support. It's not "flashy" as the high damage builds but in a party run it's a lot of fun watching enemies, not just undead, melt away by the power of light

Frost builds are incredibly fun in all the games I've played: Raid Shadow Legends, Dragon Age Origins, Divinity Original Sin 2, and BG 3 all have very effective frost builds. In the case of Raid, there are champions that do freeze, the most common one being Frozen Banshee, who is a rare champion. But I have to say, I love the stealth Archer build you created, especially as Dark Urge. I never finished the playthrough with it, so I'm gonna redo it. my second favorite is the Barbarian throwing build, using the retuning pike from act 1 and later on you can bind any weapon you like by using aa hiring speced into Eldrich knight. another favorite of mine is the BarBEARian, which is a Barbarian/moon druid combo, 3 in Barbarian and 9 in moon druid, so you rage and then go into bear form to do combat. but I've never done a solo run so I'm not sure if any of the other builds besides the stealth archer would work for that. I've seen a spore druid solo Raphael by running to a corner then casting AoE and getting everyone to walk into it.

[@The--Dreamer]

Not me at 7:18 having to do a double take if I had somehow started up darktide after hearing the OST, god damn, was perfect fit for the fighter build lol

My friend and I decided Honor Mode on a whim and I did Monk/Thief/Fighter while he did Bardadin so I'm glad these made the cut! My other option is CoM Druid as a solid all arounder. It was a wild ride that was a one and done for us and it got to the point we were wondering who'd be able to take the other person out kind of deal by act 3. I can def say I love experimenting in the game but my most fun is dressing up cute and going on power trips.

I'm only on my second playthrough so I'm not quite honor mode ready but I'm playing an ice druid so I feel like I'm in the ballpark for #4! You're right though, it's about having fun!

2 Great Old One Warlock 10 Evocation Wizard has always been my favorite. Hex + Spellsparkler + Potent Robe + Agonizing Blast and I use the incandescent staff or Markoheskir is some crisp damage. The build comes online with the Spellsparkler and level 5 double eldritch blast but is very frail as I go 8 Str, 14 Dex, 10 Con, 16 Int, 8 Wis, 17 Cha. Feats are War Caster (for concentration support) or spell sniper (for damage I prefer War Caster), but I make sure I have dual wield by level 10 (in act 3). Amazing dialogue, amazing damage, and versatility, and don’t forget, you’re a wizard but unfortunately no 6th level spells. I like using slow, hold person, counterspell, haste, misty step, shield, and evocation spells. I actually use a Titian String Swordsbard, Karlach Openhand Monk, and a spore druid with a singular level in wizard. The only thing I’m scared of is my 1v1 against Orin, I think sanctuary from a cleric should save me. Here is a damage roll summary, and it is a low roll: I’m level 10 fresh out of Act 2 against Chult Alioramus: Ac: 14 Attack roll: 5 (1d20)+4 Proficiency +1 (Doom Lobber: Daredevil Gloves) +1 (Lightning Charges) +4 (Cha modifier)=15 Damage Roll: 2 (1d10 Force) +4 (Cha modifier) (Agonizing Blast) +4 Cha modifier (Gregarious Caster)=10. Best you can do is 18 force damage. Hex allows 1d6 necrotic damage and lightning charges are lethal. Lowest roll is ~14 damage, the one I showed you. You can do 50-60+ damage (assuming if all 3 blasts land) per action, and you have haste. I did 10+3+1+18+5+1+16+5+5, 64 damage.

I love the silent hill background music!

I've actually used the Bard and Throwing Barb myself, so them being just honorable mentions tells me these builds are actually beyond insanity I don't really like they way she plays by breaking the game (so nasty lol) but I've always admired the sheer knowledge of it she has. Mad respect

great video and build guides. I am using your item ideas to refine my current party. I am level 6 and just starting the creche. TAV is Ice Sorceror, Shadowheart is a Tempest Cleric, Laze'l is an EK TB Thrower, and Astarion is a Swords Bard, TAV and Laze'l will likely stay mono class, Shart will be 1 white draconic, 5 tempest cleric, 6 abjuration wizard. She will be my only full time melee character, running around with spirit guardians, AOA, Arcane Ward, Phalar Aluve, Luminos armor just debuffing everyone. Astarion will either go 10 bard / 2 fighter if I need more control, or may go 6 sb / 4 assassin / 2 Fighter Shart wears the DNW boots so she can't slip on the ice. She also packs a mean magic missile with phalar aluve shriek and spellsparkler dual wield. Hoping that the Storm Scion's Hat arcane acuity procs from spirit guardians and shriek thunder damage so I can throw out some irresistable command spells. Shart enjoys getting everyone wet after they are chilled. Laze'l is addicted to strength elixirs and enjoys throwing anything and everyone. She also carries the titan string bow and the Silver Sword of the Astral plane if needed. She will wear the Hoarfrost boots to not slip on the ever present ice. Astarion is using the Bow of the Banshee so anyone that goes prone on the ice has a chance to also be frightened and skip their turn.
