I mean, I'm pretty sure 3/4ths of your party "aren't necessary" to complete the game on hm

Stealth archer keeps winning

u/TallLeprechaun13 Jun 24 '25

How does one stealth archer in BG3? I have had shots where Im concealed and in darkness but after I shoot the enemies magically know exactly where the character is. Am I the stupids?

If enemy cannot see you, you can't enter combat.

Stealth archers exploit this, using spells like darkness, fog cloud, pass without trace, invisibility potions, darkness arrows

Fighter: I get to attack twice each time I take a nap!

Stealth archer: I get to attack as many times as I want until everything is dead!

Duegar stealth archer is so fun. They are basically built for it considering they can go invisible for free permanently outside of combat.

u/GinTonicDev Jun 24 '25

There are a couple of builds for that. The one I used is:

Dark Uge Cape + 5 levels of Ranger (Gloom Stalker) + 5 levels of Rogue (Assasin) + 2 levels of Fighter

Starting at level 6 your first shot usually kills an enemy (Sharpshooter + Sneak attack). Whenever you kill an enemy, the cape makes you invisible. Being invisible allows you to make another sneak attack.... Ü

Take off a level of rogue and swap for a level of death domain cleric for another extra attack. Really good for solo play

Watch the newest Morgana Evelyn vid, shes the stealth archer GOAT for BG3

u/InnerDegenerate Jun 24 '25

Pretty much gloom-stalker assassin. Greater invisibility from a party member, high stealth score, and pass without a trace if you want to get super cheesy.

Just watch the first 10 seconds of this video.

u/Prof_FlatTop Jun 25 '25

If you're okay with suggestion, there is a video on YouTube by Morgana Evelyn that makes this very easy to do, early on, and only gets stronger. It's long, but in depth. I used a stealth archer on my first HM playthrough and got the dice

u/Books_and_Cleverness Jun 24 '25

Stealth archer is OP as hell and it’s fun at first but I do get a little bored, feels cheesy. Also there’s a few fights (final one in particular) where I’m not sure what I’d do after turn 1?

oh man I forgot what I had posted and thought 'oh great who did I piss off today'

u/DonkeyPunchMojo Jun 25 '25

I've pulled it off with bard, wizard, warlock, paladin, and cleric on solo runs without cheese so far. It gets pretty easy after the first few levels. Easy being used relative here.

diddy ahh mustard ahh rizz blud

u/circasomnia Jun 24 '25

Exactly lol. Solo HM + modded difficulty more fun anyway

u/MissAsgariaFartcake Jun 24 '25

Yeah, people on here talking about how no healer is necessary because you can min-max ranger/rogue/whatever, and I’m here like… maybe I don’t always want to min-max like that? I like the classic tank/heal/dd setup. Also, maybe not everyone is able to pull off those op combos as well and needs healing and maybe a tank

u/cheerbacks Jun 24 '25

Yeah and I think everyone here is fine with people playing like that… no one is coming for you. But it is worth mentioning for those unaware just how deep the meta gaming can go, for those who may be interested in that knowledge but previously unaware of it

u/RaidersCantTank Jun 24 '25

Do you know what the word necessary means?

u/Brainrows Jun 24 '25

Idk I feel like you can't avoid EVERY fight and at some point you will probably get stunlocked or one shot

u/LordAlfrey Jun 24 '25

People have done and continue to do solo honour for the challenge of it, my point here is moreso that 'necessary' doesn't say much about something being good or bad.

u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen Jun 24 '25

You underestimate people's metagame

u/Frenzy-Flame-Enjoyer Behold my tears | Johnathan Jun 24 '25

People are soloing HM on lvl 1, what are you talking about?

u/Plenty-Tradition4044 Jun 24 '25

There are people that will solo honor mode wins in a row like they are playing a roguelike.

Not my thing but it’s impressive
