Baldur’s Gate 3: BEST Rogue Feats [Top 6]

Feats are essential additions to your builds that give advantageous traits. For the Rogue Class in Baldur’s Gate 3, the best feats must focus on aspects such as improving dexterity and complementing your sneak attacks. These will help you keep your enemies in deception, making it easier to take them down quietly.

Best Class Feats Table. 

1. Ability Improvement

Best for Enhancing Abilities.

You can add two extra points to any ability or add one point to any two abilities. Hence, you can go for it at any level to boost your character’s focal aspects.

In the case of Rogue, Dexterity is the prime ability. I suggest you at least maximize your Dexterity using this Feat. However, it can only increase up to Level 20.

2. Dual Wielder

Best for Armor Class.

The main advantage of this one is that it gives Two-Weapon Fighting and a +1 Armor Class Bonus when using a melee weapon. But, it does not apply to Heavy Weapons.

To take benefit of Dual Wielder, you should play the Thief subclass. The bonus actions of Thief can do +2 damage using this feat and the Rapier.

Class Features:

• Dual Wielder: Bonus Armor Class
• Dual Wielder (Feature)

3. Actor

Best for Deception.

The Actor increases Charisma by one and provides Proficiency in skills like Performance and Deception. Higher Charisma allows you to use spells with more efficiency.

It suits those who are more into sneaky gameplay and abstain from fighting. Therefore, it fits the overall ideology of Rogue Characters.

4. Savage Attacker

Best for Action-Based Gameplay.

Savage Attacker is for the players looking for action, as it buffs up the damage you can do in any move. It rolls the damage dice twice, choosing the highest of both as the final attack value. As a Rogue, especially an assassin, you can take down enemies more quickly in an ambush.

5. Sharpshooter

Best for Ranged Attacks.

Another excellent option for stealth lovers who want to destroy enemies from afar. Sharpshooter negates the penalty for High Ground over Ranged Weapons. Thus, you can adjust your locations for better ranged-attacking scenarios.

Additionally, there is a penalty of -5 Attack Roll, but the plus point is that it gives an extra ten damage using Weapons in which you have proficiency in Ranged Attacks. As a result, your Rogue can snipe enemies or even one-shot them while keeping a safe distance.

6. Mobile

Best for Additional Movement.

Mobility is one of the principal perks of a Rogue. It increases your movement speed and helps you wander through any terrain without difficulty using Dash. You can get out of a tricky situation without struggling.

One of the other favorite works of an Assassin might be killing someone stealthily from the back and using Mobile; you can easily evade the Opportunity Attack the opponent gets when you use a Melee Attack.

Enemy takedowns from the back become easy, and you can get with it quickly.

Class Features:

• Speed Increased
• Mobile: Evade Opportunity Attack
• Mobile: Evade Difficult Terrain

Why Others Were Not Chosen

• Dungeon Delver: I’ve seen most players complain that it is broken and buggy.
• Athlete: Only provides +1 to Strength and Dexterity, but prone recovery costs half your speed.
• Alert: Not as useful if your player has high Dexterity.
• Skilled: Most players, like me, are focused on certain skills rather than having all of them.
• Crossbow Expert: Not useful if you’re not a crossbow fan.
• Lucky: It only boosts your luck – you’ll still have to put in the hard work to make it worthwhile.
• Defensive Duelist: While effective, you can only use it for one attack.
• Tough: If you’re sneaky or stealth-focused like me, you can probably do without it.
• Mage Slayer: Only effective when you’re battling against enemies who use magic.

My Recommendation

I believe that it is essential to concentrate on improving one’s basic finesse and sneakiness when choosing the best feats for a Rogue. I went for an all-out Attacker Build with the Paladin. Therefore, I can vouch for the Savage Attacker feat. It helps maximize the damage outputs of your character.

Other than that, being sneaky is not fun; coming up with creative ways to sneak out of situations and having to deal with enemies sneakily will always leave you with a fun and rewarding experience.
