In Baldur’s Gate 3 can form a party of up to 4 characters – at least at first glance. Because there are also other “companions” that can make your group a small army. In this list, we mention the best of these summonable companions, and what makes them so strong.
Summons in Baldur’s Gate 3 can have a significant impact on victory or defeat when let to fight by your side. There are different ways to summon them, be it spells, new abilities, or simply getting to know and befriending them.
In this list, we want to introduce you to the 6 best summons of the game, ranked according to hit points, strength, and general usefulness.
We leave out potential summons that are too “restricted” in their access, meaning they can only be used at a certain point or in a certain place. Therefore, characters like Lump and his ogres, Balthazar’s brother Flesh, or a certain daughter of the Moon Maiden didn’t make it onto the list, even though they can be extremely strong.
Summons are great for particularly difficult battles or boss fights, but not solely because of the extra damage they can deal. Summons are also perfect for soaking up the damage from a powerful opponent, which is why many players especially choose summons with high hit points.
Weapon of Faith
The Weapon of Faith is summoned by a level 2 spell that can be learned by Clerics, Paladins (Oath of the Crown), or Bards (College of Lore).
The summon is called with a bonus action and requires only a low spell level. This makes it extremely useful even in later battles.
The Weapon of Faith can deal force damage, a damage type that very few creatures or objects resist, and can become even stronger with higher levels.
