Mintara is one of those companions Baldur’s Gate 3, which you can easily accidentally skip in the plot (unaware that this hero can come to your camp). Usually Mintara joins the party if you decide to take the evil branch of character development. But there is another option, for this a number of conditions must be met. Somehow, for those who have this drow in their camp, we have prepared the best construction for a paladin.
Character building in Baldur’s Gate 3
Remark: the build author couldn’t save her, so the screenshots below don’t show Mintara – and there’s no specific difference in the assembly.
How to play Paladin (Mintara) in Baldur’s Gate 3
Paladin is often synonymous with courage and honor. A hero who honors traditions and dogmas, protects the weak, and the list goes on. In Baldur’s Gate 3 you will also need to do this, as it is the only class that has a hidden Oathbreaker subclass. To avoid becoming like this, first of all, you must adhere to the oaths written when choosing a subclass.
It is also important to consider your characteristics. The paladin’s main one is “Power”but no less important to him “Physique” And “Charisma”. The first is your damage, the second is your health, and the third is your spell stat.
It is best to choose heavy armor because “Agility” We have a small one, but it depends directly on it “Armor class” (KB)with a low indicator, opponents will hit you easily.
The recommended specifications are shown in the screenshot above.
A powerful subclass to watch out for is “Oath of Vengeance”. Remember three main things that you should not violate during the game:
- Don’t discourage someone from taking revenge;
- Do not let the guilty go unpunished;
- Do not betray those who demand revenge or side with the guilty.
If you follow all this, you will get a very powerful fighter, which gives damage bonuses not only to yourself, but also to your allies.
What spells and fighting style to choose at level 2
Best to play from “Protection”which gives +1 to AC – for a conditional Mintara this is a necessary bonus.
The spell pool that will be most useful at this stage of the game is:
- Order;
- Challenge to a duel;
- Furious punishment;
- Thunder punishment.
Which spell to choose at level 3
To the sayings mentioned above we add “Burning Punishment”to make our enemies suffer even more.
Which spell and ability to choose at level 4
Here you can choose what you like most with a spell, because we will replace it at least at the next level.
We select with a line “Guardian”since a paladin is a melee fighter, and your allies will definitely need your support in the form of a retaliatory attack.
Which spells to choose at level 5, 6 and 7
At these levels you can choose spells in any order, but so your final pool at level seven looks like this:
- Order;
- Challenge to a duel;
- Furious punishment;
- Thunder Punishment;
- Burning punishment;
- Magic weapons;
- Staff;
- Low recovery;
- Branding penalty.
This is a strong and well-balanced collection of spells that not only gives you the opportunity to attack mindlessly, but also to act as a small support for your party.
What spell and trait to choose at level 8
Another support spell we need is “Protection from Poison”to neutralize any negative consequences if the poison ends up on you or a group member.
Character Trait – “Persistent”because our Constitution score is not too high and HP is an important part of an enjoyable game.
What spells to choose at level 9, 10 and 11
At these levels you can also choose spells in the order you like best, but you must have them all in the end. So this is:
- Revival;
- Blinding punishment;
- Crusader cloak.
What spell and trait to choose at level 12
At level 12 we take “Aura of vitality”where you get the option to heal yourself or an ally as a bonus action.
The optimal property is “Improve performance”, but there are two options here depending on your playstyle. For those who have chosen the role of main damage dealer, we recommend increasing their “Power”. before 18, increasing your damage. For those who have chosen for themselves the role of a tank, it is still better to pay attention to and increase “Physical” to 16which increases your HP.
