Elementals
The elementals from Baldur’s Gate 3 are also one of the most versatile summon groups available – and alongside their great power, it is primarily this versatility that brings them straight to the top of this list.
At spell level 5, you gain the ability to summon an elemental of fire, air, water, or earth, which you can choose based on the potential weaknesses of your opponent. The elementals all function very similarly in their abilities, but still have a few characteristics that distinguish them from one another.
All elementals can teleport like a kind of Misty Step, have a multiattack, and use their specific attack related to their type.
Anyone in need of an elemental that can take a lot of hits should consider the earth elemental, which has a total of 126 HP and an armor class of 17.
At spell level 6, you finally gain the Myrmidon elementals, which are even more powerful than the already strong “regular” elementals of spell level 5, making them the best summons in Baldur’s Gate 3. Again, there are four types: fire, air, water, or earth, on which they base their attacks.
They possess the strong qualities of their predecessors, just improved. Compared to the abilities of the regular elementals, they all receive a new AoE or support ability that makes them nearly as useful as some companions in the game. Their stat points are also on a level that can compete with a playable character.
Anyone who has the opportunity to have a (Myrmidon) elemental by their side for challenging fights should definitely take advantage of this.
All summons on this list, no matter what place they ended up in, are a great help for many confrontations in Baldur’s Gate 3. Those who have enough spellcasting characters or spell scrolls in their team can create a small army from a four-person party that is significantly harder to defeat. However, those who cannot or do not want to summon, and prefer to rely on their powerful charisma, could potentially finish certain boss fights on their own: 7 enemies in Baldur’s Gate 3 that you should rather talk to than fight
