Eldritch Knights are one of the most versatile subclasses in all of Baldur’s Gate 3. The primary class is Fighter, which is dedicated to mastering various weapons. But, the Eldritch Knight mixes in some limited spell knowledge allowing for extra protection, destruction, or utility outside combat.
Githyanki companion Lae’zel is already a Fighter and joins earlier enough to build her into a great Eldritch Knight. However, you may also want to use this build on other characters. This can even include training hirelings you have recruited from Withers.
As a subclass of Fighter, Eldritch Knights are proficient with all Martial Weapons in Baldur’s Gate 3. This includes both melee weapons and ranged options. Even if you focus on only one of those, it is a good measure to still equip both weapon types. This will slightly change the overall build, as primary archers will be taking less direct damage and do not need to focus as much on survivability.
The main ability score for Fighters is either Strength or Dexterity, depending on the weapon type. The other shouldn’t be outright “dumped” – lowered to a minimum – but can typically stay around 12 or less. As an Eldritch Knight, you will use Intelligence to make both Spell Attacks and improve the difficulty of the Saving Throw enemies must pass. Constitution is used both to withstand hits and keep Concentration on ongoing spells.
The majority of Racial features have only a small impact on an Eldritch Knight. Selecting High Elf or High Half-Elf as your race in Baldur’s Gate 3 will grant a bonus Cantrip. This also uses Intelligence as the casting stat, giving you access to magic before the third level. Bone Chill, Ray of Frost, and Fire Bolt are all good damage options.
