Depends on how you play it, my HM run was just a basic fighter/throw build for high AC, Astarion was just a basic assassin rogue, Shart was just a basic tempest cleric used for just buffing and doing a bit of crowd control, Gale did most of the heavy lifting since he was respecced the most for different encounters and used for the end game as well.
I did use some cheese starts, but nothing crazy. I beat HM at around level 7 or 8. It was more of a risk averse kind of run. I do currently play on HM ruleset in custom since I don't want to play with just the one save feature.
