Having the choice to use a cantrip in the place of one of your attacks is really cool and can be combined in interesting and powerful ways.
#SHADOW BLADE UPDATE#
6th LevelĮxtra Attack: The most notable update to the Bladesinger subclass in Tasha’s is the change to Extra Attack.
The bonus to AC and CON saves to maintain concentration is especially spicy if you cast haste on yourself. Because the number of uses (with the release of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything) now scales with your proficiency bonus and is only reset with a long rest, it is weaker than it used to be at low levels and much better at a high level. Bladesong gives you a whole bunch of buffs while lasting for a whole minute. At higher levels, when you have more spell slots to work with and a +5 to DEX, mage armor will outshine any Light Armor enough to be worth using.īladesong: Pairs nicely with Training in War and Song. Studded Leather won’t be quite as effective as mage armor, but saves a spell slot and a prepared spell for something more useful. Training in War and Song: Proficiency in Performance may be useless, but proficiency in light armor and a one-handed melee weapon is what sets the Bladesinger apart from the other wizard subclasses. When enemies are more consistently getting through your AC, especially at higher levels, the low hit points of the Bladesinger can become a liability. As a Bladesinger, you will need to have a good DEX score in addition to INT for boosts to AC and attacks. Most wizards are only concerned with raising their INT score, ensuring that you can raise your other stats to a comfortable level. Weaknessesīladesingers are cool, but they definitely are not the strongest or most optimized wizard subclass. While many subclasses of the wizard feel “samey”, the Bladesinger breathes new life into one of D&D’s most iconic classes. Combined with some defensive spells and great mobility, the Bladesinger can whip around the battlefield untouched.Īll in all, Bladesingers are a unique take on the wizard class and are a blast to play. This opens up some very interesting ways to build and play the class, since Bladesingers can easily boost their AC into the 20s. Strengthsīladesingers keep up with the spellcasting prowess of just about any wizard, with the added benefit of a melee weapon proficiency and greatly enhanced survivability. At their core, they are still primarily wizards, but they can also dish out some decent melee damage.
Whether you want to focus on crowd control, damage, or pulling the enemy’s attention off of your weaker party members, the Bladesinger has you covered. Well versed in both spell and sword, Bladesingers are suitable for many roles on the battlefield. Have you ever played a wizard and thought to yourself, “Sometimes, I dream of charging into battle with the fighters and barbarians, laughing in the face of danger”? Enter the Bladesinger.
