What Is the Best Druid Subclass in Baldur’s Gate 3?

There are three subclasses that players have access to with the Druid: Circle of the Moon, Circle of the Land, and Circle of Spores. Like the other classes, you can’t go wrong with any of these. Your subclass is mainly a matter of preference that you can unlock at level two.

Circle of the Moon is for the players who want more beast transformation options. Land is for those who want to be able to transform more often. Spores is for those who want a highly unique fungi-based poison control build.
