Evaporate your enemies and take on Honour Mode with shocking ease with one of the community's most popular caster builds.

In this video I break down the Tempest Sorcerer, one of the most approachable Sorcerer multiclasses in BG3. I'll explain how it works and go over my favourite preferred subclass, including why I prefer it, and talk about some build variations.

This video keeps a party composition in mind, but the build is equally strong in party and solo play, including for challenge runs, with very little adjustment.

In a dedicated Tech section I break down some of the mechanical interactions this build can make use of, ranked from most common to most unhinged.

The mechanics behind this multiclass took a lot of research and testing to understand, and I'm passing it all to you in this guide to my version of the Tempest Sorcerer.
