The Paladin is like a marriage between a Cleric and a Barbarian. IвЂ™ve played all three at one point, and while I love being able to get that Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique (not really what itвЂ™s called), with the Way of the Open Hand, the Way of the Long Death offers the best defensive capabilities so you can be a relentlessly mobile tank. The best subclasses for a Monk are Way of the Drunken Master, Way of the Long Death and Way of the Open Hand. Unlike other melee classes, you donвЂ™t have to rely on having a weapon on you at all times.

The Monk is a master of martial arts that can punch and kick their way out of every conversation. ThereвЂ™s also the Gunslinger, which is one of my favorites, but since thatвЂ™s from Critical Role and does involve gunplay, you may want to ask your DM before choosing it. The best subclasses for a Fighter are Battle Master, Cavalier, Eldritch Knight and Samurai. TheyвЂ™re not as tanky as the Barbarian, but they can deal ridiculous damage numbers in a short period of time thanks to the Action Surge ability, which lets them take another Action phase on the same turn. The Fighter is the master of physical combat. Plus, you can transform into even more dangerous animals. I hate mushrooms, so I went with Circle of the Moon, since it sounds badass anyway. The best subclasses for a Druid are Circle of the Moon and Circle of Spores. They can also control the environment around them to deliver devastating blows or even heal teammates.

The Druid is all about using nature magic and transforming themselves into different animal forms like a wolf or giant eagle. The best healer in all of D&D is almost always a Life Cleric, which happens to be my favorite to play. The best subclasses for a Cleric are Arcana, Forge, Life, Light, Order and War. Typically, Clerics are decked out in armor, so theyвЂ™re relatively tanky, and depending on the subclass that a Cleric goes with, they can be mighty damage dealers as well. The Cleric gets their abilities from a higher power and uses it to become the most badass healer in the entirety of D&D. I ran with the Order of The Profane Soul my first time around because I love being able to tap into Warlock magic, and since the Blood Hunter is constantly losing health, itвЂ™s nice to get some healing spells from your Celestial patron. The best subclasses for a Blood Hunter are Order of The Lycan and Order of The Profane Soul. They hunt and fight monsters by using their blood to deal wicked damage. If youвЂ™ve always wanted to play The Witcher in D&D, now you can because thatвЂ™s basically what a Blood Hunter is. The Blood Hunter is a class created by none other than Matthew Mercer from Critical Role. If you want to get up close and personal with your enemies, then the College of Valor is pretty fun, especially when you turn level 14 when you can use a Bonus Action to make a weapon attack after using an Action to cast a spell. The best subclasses for a Bard are College of Eloquence, College of Glamour, College of Lore and College of Valor. Bards are very diverse on the battlefield theyвЂ™ll heal one turn, inspire their comrades in another then unleash wild magic damage down on their opponents. You can channel this power through any type of instrument (this is mostly roleplay based). The Bard is a magic-user that channels magical power through music. If youвЂ™re looking for unpredictability, check out the new Path of Wild Magic subclass. I enjoy playing the Berserker subclass, but the best feature about this class, Frenzy, is sort of a double-edged sword, so I wouldnвЂ™t necessarily recommend it. The best subclasses for a Barbarian are Ancestral Guardian, Storm Herald and Totem Warrior. If you want to play a class that will almost never die and can deal a crap ton of damage, then the Barbarian is your best bet. The Barbarian is a badass warrior that quite literally rages into battle. I like the Alchemist the most because I get to live my dream of brewing random wild elixirs and acting like a straight-up kook 100% of the time. The best subclasses for an Artificer are Alchemist and Battle Smith. TheyвЂ™re essentially the mad scientists of D&D and have the power of steampunk on their side. TheyвЂ™re tinkerers of sorts, using everyday objects as a catalyst for their magic. The Artificer is one of the newest classes from the Eberron: Rising from the Last War sourcebook.
