In Baldur’s Gate 3, you may recruit various companions to join your team, one of which is Minsc— a Ranger class ally. You’ll get to select a few feats while progressing with this companion; naturally, you need to know the best ones to select to make him more versatile and maximize his damage output, so here are the best feats for Minsc in BG3.
Best Feats for Minsc in BG3
Minsc is a Ranger with immense ranged-damage capabilities and is brilliant for stealth situations. I recommend progressing with this companion as a Ranger without changing or adding different classes. Minsc is proficient with simple and martial weapons, so you may always use a great Longbow likeGontr Maelwith him.
Minsc’s chosen Subclass is Hunter, but you’re able to experiment with Gloom Stalker and Beast Master. I suggest going ahead with Gloom Stalker as this gives you certain features like Dread Ambusher and Superior Darkvision. Feats are unlocked at levelsfour,eight, and12; the best choices can be found below.

Ability Improvementis one of the best feats to select, as you can quickly level up the ability of your choice to +20. I recommend quickly reaching+20 Dexteritywith Minsc to make him a powerful Ranger.
SharpshooterandCrossbow Expertare more inclined towards ranged damage, which works perfectly for Minsc. Sharpshooter allows you to perform ranged attacks without incurring a penalty from the High Ground Rules penalty. In a similar vein, Crossbow Expert allows you to deal damage at melee range without having a disadvantage on the attack rolls. Additionally, thepiercing shot attack inflicts Gaping Woundsstatus for two times longer than usual.

Mobileis one of the finest feats you can select for Minsc as it allows him to move around freely, which is something you’ll do quite often with him. With this feat, Minsc gets a slight increase in movement speed and can evade Opportunity Attacks while moving away from enemies. He can also evade the effects of a difficult terrain while dashing.
TheToughfeat is a personal favorite as it increases Minsc’s hit points by two for every level he gains. While you won’t play with Minsc on the frontlines likeLae’zelorKarlach, this feat makes him more durable. On the other hand,Luckyis a brilliant feat that gives Minsc advantages on Saving Throws, Attack Rolls, and Ability Checks. Use it carefully in combat to always have the upper hand against your enemies.
