What does Warding Bond do in BG3?

Warding Bond is a spell that allows the caster to grant an ally Resistance to all damage, and a +1 bonus to their Armour Class and Saving Throws. It can be cast as an action every long rest by the wearer of True Love's Embrace for the wearer of True Love's Caress.

Best companions and classes for Warding Bond Rings

The Warding Bond rings have a big trade-off. While you can cast Warding Bond and grant Resistance to all damage and other benefits, the wearers also share received damage, so the best classes to use with the True Love's Caress ring are frontline tanks like Barbarians, Fighters, Paladins, or Druids. The wearer of the True Love's Embrace ring should be a healer or backline fighter like a Cleric, Rogue, Bard, or Ranger.

To maximize the rings' effectiveness, a Life Cleric is the best class to use the ring, paired with any tank or frontliner. Below is the best build for a Life Cleric using the Warding Bond Rings.

Life Cleric Warding Bond Ring Build

To build a Life Cleric that uses the Warding Bond Rings, you will want to have the following stats and feats:

The Life Cleric abilities will keep your partner healed and able to tank more hits with the damage resistance and extra AC. Life Clerics can learn every Cleric spell and prepare them at will, so it is important to take healing spells and buff spells for your allies.
