Baldur’s Gate 3: PXP party 005 (Elements Party) – Builds and Walkthrough with Honour mode demo

• Beginner Party (with Astarion origin demo) – designed as a tutorial party that starts off simple, then increases in complexity as it gains level.
• Spike Growth Party (with Karlach origin demo) – thematic party that plays on Difficult Terrain mechanic with complete immunity to Spike Growth.
• Fire-Ice-Smash Party (with Wyll origin demo) – designed primarily to elevate Bludgeoning damage in Act 3 to compete with Bhaalist Armour.
• Irresistible Party (with Shadowheart origin demo) – party that always get their way, with the enemies always failing saves against their spells.
• (this guide) Elements Party (with Gale origin demo) – thematic party of 3 full casters focused on utilizing opposing elements of Light/Darkness, Fire/Ice, Earth/Lightning, and Silence/Thunder to shut down and control enemies.
• (coming soon) Astral Displacement Party (with Lae’zel origin demo) – thematic party focused on movement, both of their own mobility and of forcible displacement of their enemies.

If you’re on mobile, try to bring up the Section list. This guide is long so should be navigated by section. On PC screen it should be on the right.

Here are the Sections and what they’re about.

• Introduction – what we’re doing.
• Storyline Requirements – you should make your storyline match these few points if you want to have access to required items.
• Party Overview – the 4 members briefly summarized. Pros and Cons.
• 1st-4th Member – in detail, and their Level up guide.
• Act 1-3 – summarizes best equipment in-slot and overview of the fights for each Act.
• Level 3-12 – explains how your party changes at each level (and at each place), what they should look like, what they’re generally doing, and discusses the strategies for potential fights at each level, as well as videos of fights demonstrated.

Now, please navigate this guide by section of interest to you..

This is a full party build example and general guide for party synergies.

• It is a party designed around playing with the elements, originated from combining Wall of Fire with Sleet Storm.
• It is a Wizard party, where versatility lends itself well to, and rewards, pre-planning. This is not a brain-dead party that you can play cleanly with your brain shut down. (no negative connotation meant – being playable brain-dead is actually viewed as a virtue by me as far as party design is concerned)
• Played right, they’re totally not dependent on consumables or illithid power. The party’s supposed to be very playable without investing your time in farming consumables, and ‘keeping true’ to the spirit of the game – avoid becoming Mind Flayer.

If you’re on mobile, try to bring up the Section list. This guide is long so should be navigated by section. On PC screen it should be on the right.

Storyline affects which merchants and items are available.

• Convince Rolan to stay at the Grove at first time you reach it. (keeps Mattis alive)
• Choose Spellsparkler[bg3.wiki] staff as quest reward from saving Florick at Waukeen’s Rest.
• Keep Dammon alive by not causing the Druids to attack the Tieflings.
• Keep Dammon alive by saving the Grove, and do so before going to Mountain Pass or Grymforge.
• While not strictly necessary, getting Ethel’s hair is recommended and will be done in the demo.
• Keep Quartermaster Talli, Dammon and Last Light Inn alive, at least until you get all you need from them.
• Spare Nightsong, so Dammon survives into the Act 3
• Don’t slaughter the murder tribunal initially. Become their assassin to unlock their shop, get what you need, then you can slaughter them.

The full party comprises these 4 character concepts.

• Fire Evoker
  • Light Domain Cleric 2 / Evocation School Wizard 10
  • User of Fire. Illuminate enemies with Magic Missile to neutralize their attack rolls and cast Wall of Fire to keep whittling away their HP.
  • Evocation for Wall of Fire that doesn’t harm party. Cleric level is mainly there for armour and Persuasion proficiency.
• Water Conjurer
  • White Draconic Sorcerer 7 / Fey (Pact of the Blade) Warlock 5
  • User of Water in the form of Ice. Mainly cast Sleet Storm to lock down enemies’ movement, but some times also casts Darkness. Blast enemies back into the killing zone when needed.
  • Classes are split to maximize the number of potential Sleet Storm per day. Having Eldritch Blast and Devil’s Sight are very welcomed bonuses.
• Earth Warder
  • College of Swords Bard 6 / Abjuration School Wizard 6
  • User of Earth. Master of Weapon attacks and Arcane Ward defense, in addition to casting Plant Growth. In addition, wears Snowburst Ring to create Ice patches to control enemies.
  • Based on idea of a Swords Wizard similar to Party 001, but more focused on drawing attention and generally taking hits than being a control caster.
• Air Tempest
  • Tempest Domain Cleric 6 / Way of Shadow Monk 6
  • User of Air. Use Thunder Trident (Nyrulna) to push enemies, then cast Silence to shut any spellcaster down. Create electrified water that pushes enemies away. Also casts Darkness.
  • In addition to the utility of pushing enemies, provides early game Cleric for survivability and Act 2 power.

Pros

• Great area control capabilities with Ice, Lightning, Darkness, and Silence, and many abilities to push enemies into the trap.
• Shut down enemies completely with Radiating Orb, Darkness, and Silence.
• Ice surface to trap enemies in your Wall of Fire.
• Focus on concentration spells for better value for your spell slots.
• Double Wizard flexibility and adaptability. Particularly potent in the hands of players who know the encounters and the spells.
• 3 Counterspellers at Level 12 (1 at Level 7 and 2 at level 10)

Cons

• Generic lack of hard-control (Hold) capabilities due to insufficient DC.
• Low focus on actually killing boss enemies.
• Low hit dice (base class HP gain per level). This will be made up for by Arcane Ward, but that comes late.

Important
This is a Wizard party. It is designed to be led by a Wizard, and the original composition was to contain 3 Wizards. What Wizards need to do is pre-planning to determine what spells and plan will be used to tackle each problem. Don’t get fixated by each character’s primary element. You’ll find:

• Fire Evoker is well-versed in Water and Lightning.
• Water Conjurer makes effective use of Fire Acuty and also gets Heart of the Storm.
• Earth Warder himself is a Wizard and creates ice patches with bow.
• Air Tempest also utilizes radiant damage.
• You don’t need to use only elemental spells.

Key takeaway is – play this party as a Wizard would – is the key to success.

Generic comments about Act 1 fights

• Overall, Act 1 starts with your raw power level barely matching that of your enemies.
• Getting surprise round, hiding, using the environment is very important on harder difficulties.
• This becomes less so once you leave the Wilderness and Underdark for Grymforge and Crèche. It’ll become less crucial to get that surprise round.
• Act 2 fights will introduce special mechanics for most fights, but for Act 1, it’s about making up for enemies’ numbers and power with good approach. You don’t need to think much beyond increasing your raw power and making up for that when you lack it.

Party-specific comments

The earliest level you can respec your party is at level 3. That said, it is recommended to get pass level 3 with only light combat and rely on exploration XP and dialogue XP to get to level 4, if you’re playing honour mode. Doing heavy combat in honour mode at level 3 is not worth the hassle – is what I feel after many honour runs.

• Fire Evoker should already have Burning Hands and level 2 Wizard spells.
• Water Conjurer gets Metamagic at level 2 Sorcerer. They should already have Eldritch, Agonizing, and Repelling Blast.
• Earth Warder gets the 1st feat and puts it in ASI. They should already be a College of Swords Bard.
• Air Tempest gets the 1st feat and puts it in ASI. They should still be using a lot of weapon attacks, having invested 16 points in Dex)

Party is now

• Light Cleric 1 / Evocation Wizard 3
• Storm Sorcerer 2 / Fey Warlock 2
• Swords Bard 4
• Tempest Cleric 4

Generic comments on Act 2 fights

• Overall, Act 2 fights are different from Act 1 in that
• while your party raw power now can exceed that of enemies.
• there are some special mechanics for most fights, which you have to approach correctly.
  • some boss are immune to physical damage until you deal elemental damage to him for a few rounds.
  • some boss throw really devastating bombs that can kill your whole party immediately.
  • some boss turn you to gold.
  • in some fights your enemies are not targeting you. You’re instead protecting their target.
  • etc.
• It’s now less about getting surprise round but more about dealing with these special mechanics.

  • Ketheric-Myrkul – The efficient weapons against Myrkul are Water Conjurer‘s Eldritch Blast and Air Tempest‘s Call Lightning.

Act 3 is the final one. You should transition into your final set of gears. Personally, I beeline for the gears first ever since my 1st run, since I like fighting and want to enjoy my team’s full power for longer.

• Generic comments on Act 3 fights
  • Act 3 fights have all sorts of flavours, with one thing in common in contrast to earlier Acts;
    • The enemies are very strong offensively. In contrast to Act 2 finale Myrkul, who can barely damage you but is a marathon to take down, in Act 3 enemies will be pitting their offense against you.
      • Which is why ‘nova’ or burst damage is the generally preferred strategy. Without consumables and illithid power, the demo’s burst will be less powerful than with. At this point consumables are simply balance shattering, that’s why we do demo without them to still have something to think for.
      • It is possible to play with a composition without burst, but it’s much harder.
  • In Act 3, in some fights you’ll be on the back foot in raw power again, but only if you let the enemies release their full offensive capabilities. Ansur is the best example of this. Nothing survives their ‘attacks’ for long.
  • In others, there are special mechanics like most of Act 2, and some are real extreme. The main plot boss Orin the Red in particular, there’s 0% chance of beating them without dealing with their special mechanics with the right tools. Power won’t even come into play while that special mechanics last.
