Best Build For The Tiefling - The Sorcerer
All Tiefling subraces have a great affinity to magic, with the best subrace being the Mephistopheles, thanks to the possibility of gaining Flame Blade, an extremely powerful spell they unlock at level 5.
For the Tiefling, one of the very best buildswill be the Sorcerer, which will give them access to sorcerer points and many options for cantrips and spells.
The player should pick the draconic bloodline subclass, as this subclass will give them access to daggers, Quarterstaves, and to light crossbows. With this subclass, players will have to invest in charisma points. Any of the dragon ancestry works well, but Blue would be the best.
The Draconic bloodline subclass will also eventually allow the player to unlock the feature Fly, which can be incredibly useful.
When picking this build,the best option for backgroundis the Sage, as it pairs amazingly well and will grant the character Arcane and History proficiency.
Other proficiencies the character can invest in are Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available to play on PC and PlayStation 5.
