Baldur’s Gate 3 – Best Feats for Jaheira in BG3

Best Feats for Jaheira!

Jaheira is a High Half-Elf who can be recruited as a companion in Act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3. When I first encountered Jaheira, I immediately wanted her in my party, seeing as she has the Wild Shape ability and wields two weapons. Choosing how to level her up can make for some hard choices, however, including what feats to take for her. Since she can be a versatile Druid, there are a few feats that will help her become a great companion in combat.

Jaheira Best Feats in BG3

Jaheira can be a versatile character, capable of dealing a lot of damage and supporting her allies (depending on how you build her). Jaheira can be built in many ways, but if you stick to her base Druid leveling, you will have access to a feat at Levels 4, 8, and 12. Here are the best feats for Jaheira in BG3.

FeatDescription
Ability Score ImprovementYou increase one Ability by 2, or two Abilities by 1, to a maximum of 20.
DurableYour Constitution increases by 1, to a maximum of 20.
You regain full hit points each time you take a Short Rest.
MobileYour movement speed increases, and difficult terrain doesn't slow you down when you Dash.
If you move after making a melee attack, you don't provoke Opportunity Attacks from your target.
War CasterYou gain Advantage on Saving Throws to maintain Concentration on a spell.
You can also use a reaction to cast Shocking Grasp at a target moving out of melee range.
Mage Slayer
When a creature casts a spell Within melee range of you, you have Advantage on any Saving Throw against it, and you can use a reaction to immediately make an attack against the caster.
Enemies you hit have Disadvantage on Concentration Saving Throws.

Jaheira's best feat is Ability Score Improvement. Raising her Wisdom should be first priority, and if you can even out her Wisdom score, you can take another point for Constitution or Dexterity.

Durable is a great feat for Jaheira because you can increase your Constitution and also benefit from full healing after Short Rests.

Mobile is another strong option, as it will help Jaheira quickly move around combat and not provoke opportunity attacks.

If you like casting spells with Jaheira, War Caster is recommended to keep her Concentration on spells. If instead you want to take down enemy spellcasters, Mage Slayer is a sensible choice because it will also work in Wild Shape.

Jaheira can be a great companion if built around your playstyle and party composition, and if chosen feats maximize her abilities as a Druid and increase her combat abilities. Remember you can always respec at Withers and choose a different levelling path for her at any time.
