After making the class tier list, some of you requested that we go over the subclasses as well- rather than covering them all at once (that would be a very longgg video) I decided to break it down into martial and spellcaster subclasses- that way, we have a more fair analysis and comparison between many vastly different features and abilities!

So today we cover the martial subclass tierlist, which covers 32 of the 58 subclasses available in BG3 as of Patch 8, with the intent of presenting the strength and weaknesses of these subclasses to help you decide on what character build you should play next! Leave a comment with your favorite subclass and let me know if I missed anything!

Also please welcome Maggie, a fellow D&D and BG3 player who doesn't have any content creation socials yet but decided to join and add some much need discussion to our tierlist breakdown!
