Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Guide: Scarlet Witch Build Using Red Witch Class ~ HaploGamingChef

Unleashing Chaos with a Telekinetic Build

If you’ve ever imagined playing as the Scarlet Witch in Baldur’s Gate 3, this modded build turns that fantasy into reality. Thanks to the combination of the Red Witch class mod by Sadika Shihar and the Telekinetic Spells mod by Dawnstar, you can create a spellcaster that dominates the battlefield with force-based spells, manipulation abilities, and high utility.

Even if you're not using the Red Witch class, a Wizard base works just as well with the telekinetic spells. This guide walks you through every detail—stats, spells, abilities, and gear—so you can build a powerful and immersive Scarlet Witch character in your modded BG3 run.

Choosing Your Class: Red Witch vs Wizard

The Red Witch class mod is made specifically for a character like Scarlet Witch. It unlocks Dark Favor mechanics, access to unique spells, and dark-themed utility that fits her chaotic energy. However, if you're not into installing extra class mods, you can use the Wizard class and still access the telekinetic spells mod just fine.

The main difference? The Red Witch class gives you unique features like Witch’s Flade, Dark Rituals, and scaling versions of Chaos Volley, while Wizard offers more traditional spellcasting options.

Starting Cantrips and Basic Telekinetic Tools

Right out of the gate, you’ll want to pick the right cantrips. The Telekinetic Shell protects you from melee attacks and pushes enemies back with force damage. Telekinetic Hurl is your go-to for tossing objects at enemies—classic Scarlet Witch move. And Force Manipulation lets you push or pull enemies up to 6 meters.

Other useful options include:

Chill Touch for necrotic damage
Booming Blade for a melee-caster combo

These establish your early crowd control and add flavor to your telekinetic theme.

Best Early Game Spells

As soon as you're able, pick up Stone Snap—a level one spell that deals force and bludgeoning damage while slowing enemies. Rock Barrage comes next, dealing area damage and inflicting Dazed, which helps with spell saves.

These spells offer strong single-target and AoE control, which helps you maintain control over battlefield movement and setup combos with teammates.

Recommended Ability Scores

To make this build work efficiently, focus on Intelligence, Dexterity, and Constitution:

Intelligence: 16
Dexterity: 16
Constitution: 14

You can flip Dex and Con if you prefer tankiness over initiative. Intelligence is non-negotiable—your main damage output scales with it.

Leveling Up: Spells and Class Features

At Level 2, Red Witch users unlock Chaos Volley and Dark Ritual, which replaces traditional spell slots for some spellcasting. Wizard users should grab Magic Missile and Thunderwave or Create Water for synergy with elemental builds.

At Level 3, you’ll gain Armor of Agatha, offering both protection and passive retaliation damage. Plus, you can now prepare Seismic Eruption and Battering Ram for AoE control and heavy impact effects.

Mid-Game Scaling and Strategy

By Level 5, the fun really starts. Witch’s Flade gives you limited flight using a Dark Favor, and Phobic Eruption knocks back enemies with a force burst. This stage defines your battlefield control capabilities.

You also gain:

Implosion Spear: Massive force damage that leaves targets prone.
Scattershot: AoE pierce + force combo that applies bleeding.
Hex Bolt 2: Improves your ranged damage options with bonus action utility.

This is your mid-game power spike. Positioning and spell order become crucial from here on out.

Strategic Spell Loadout and Buff Rotation

From Level 6 onward, keep a balanced loadout with at least:

Debris Storm: Force + bludgeoning storm that reduces enemy movement.
Force Field: Team-wide protection against physical and force damage.
Willful Step: Dash through enemies while dealing damage.

You can optionally add Hold Person, Silence, or Mirror Image for crowd control or survivability. Rotate buffs before combat and hold Dark Favors for major fights.

Gear to Prioritize

For gear, aim for anything that boosts Spell Save DC, AC, or force damage synergy. Some great early and mid-game items:

Hood of the Weave: Increases spell effectiveness
Cloak of Protection: Extra AC and saves
Gloves of Dexterity or Wondrous Gloves: Buff AC and initiative
Evasive Shoes or Disintegrating Night Walkers: Movement and spell mobility
Staff of Spell Power or Marcher’s Staff: Arcane battery for frequent casting

Since force-damage-specific gear is limited, prioritize survivability and initiative boosting gear.

High-Level Spells and Late Game Power

At Level 9 and 10, your spellbook starts looking really dangerous. You’ll gain access to:

Reality Implosion: Pull enemies toward a rift—great for grouping.
Telekinetic Tethers: Team-wide AC and saves buff.
Cocoon: Suspend allies midair to heal and protect them.
Destructive Wrath and Hold Monster: Devastating crowd control tools.

The key here is combining high-damage AoE with team support and battlefield lockdown.

Signature Moves to Master

Two standout abilities give this build its true Scarlet Witch feel:

Focus Beam: Channel a powerful beam that melts enemies over time. You’re locked in place, so time it well.
Telekinetic Maelstrom: Massive AoE that pulls enemies into a storm of force damage each round. Use it with crowd control to trap enemies inside.

These have high VFX impact and are ideal for boss encounters or large enemy groups.

Combat Tips and Spell Combos

You can chain abilities for optimal impact:

Use Implosion Spear to group enemies.
Follow with Telekinetic Maelstrom.
Apply Hex Bolts as bonus actions in between major casts.
Use Battering Ram to knock away any stragglers.
Apply Blade Ward if you expect retaliation.

Don’t waste time concentrating on low-value spells when you can set up massive combo turns using positioning.

Final Feat, Mod Synergy, and Closing Thoughts

At Level 12, grab the Alert feat for +5 initiative. Going first often determines the outcome of battle with this setup. You’ll also want to keep the Red Witch and Telekinetic Spells mods updated and compatible. Consider pairing this build with mods like:

Water Spells Mod
Expanded Warlock or Sorcerer Mods for more chaos-themed synergy

Whether you’re going full Red Witch or a spell-heavy Wizard, this build is a blast for anyone looking to roleplay a magical force of destruction.

Wrapping Up the Scarlet Witch Build in BG3

This Scarlet Witch-inspired build in Baldur’s Gate 3 offers a rich, explosive, and versatile playstyle that stands out from traditional casters. With the Red Witch class mod and Telekinetic Spells mod, you’ll be tossing enemies, shielding your team, and disintegrating foes in true chaotic fashion. Even if you choose to go the Wizard route, the telekinetic arsenal alone is more than enough to create a uniquely powerful mage.

Perfect for players who enjoy aggressive spellcasting with strong battlefield control and stylish VFX, this build is not just about power—it’s about presence. Load up your mods, prep your spells, and command the battlefield like never before.
