BG3 College of Valour Tips & Builds

• College of Valour Bards have a better survivability than College of Lore and and College of Swords, due to having both Medium Armor Proficiency and Shield Proficiency. This allows them to have better protection than the other bard subclasses.
• This Subclass, however, does not have access to a great ability like Cutting Words, and does not deal as much damage as the other ones.
• At level 3, College of Valour Bards learn Combat Inspiration. A powerful ability that buffs a single ally to add a +1d6 bonus to their next Attack Roll, Ability Check. Saving Throw, weapon damage, or Armour Class. Making it a very verstaile support cast
• At level 6, College of Valour and College of Swords Bards get an Extra Attack. Allowing them to perform two attacks during the same turn. This applies only after making an unarmed or weapon attack.
• NEW! - New Spells have been added to the Bard's Magical Secrets Spells List in Patch #1, released on August 25, 2023.
