Eldritch Adept 5e

Which 5e Classes Make the Most of Eldritch Adept?

Because there are so many Eldritch Invocations to choose from, it’s challenging to pick a perfect invocation for everyone. It’s always best to see what specific invocation you’d like and fit that into your build if necessary. However, most of these aren’t impactful and are more for utility reasons.

Artificer: They can find some use out of Eldritch Mind or some of the spellcasting options, but none of them are very impactful. Most of the time, artificers are better off with other feats unless they pick this for flavor reasons.

Barbarian: Barbarians can’t pick up this feat without multiclassing, so there’s no point worrying about it.

Bard: Choose the Mask of Many Faces Invocation and cast disguise self at will to go with your great CHA modifier.

Cleric: While the bonus of a new at-will spell isn’t bad, most clerics will probably be interested in the advantage on Eldritch Mind. However, between this feat, Resilient (CON), and War Caster, Resilient is the superior feat for clerics. Other invocations, like casting detect magic, are probably better.

Druid: Great option to pick up Armor of Shadows for a free mage armor whenever you want it.

Fighter: Fighters can’t pick up this feat unless they were to multiclass or pick Eldritch Knight as a subclass. Even then, it doesn’t add much to the subclass. War Caster poses as a better feat than this one, but adding a few utility spells isn’t terrible.

Monk: Since most monks cannot cast spells, they’re unable to pick this feat. While Way of the Four Elements monks can cast spells, we don’t think any noteworthy invocations would make it worth it over other feats.

Paladin: Most of these invocations are utility spells, which can work well since paladins have so few spell slots. Being able to cast detect magic at will is pretty handy but not as good as some other feats. Paladins who multiclass into Hexblade warlocks should value this feat much higher, though, as it gives them access to the entire list of invocations.

Ranger: While rangers can find use in some of these utility spells, they don’t impact any aspect of gameplay beyond utility. Like druids, if they choose Beast Speech, it’s a flavor win but not an essential part of the ranger class.

Rogue: Only those who choose the Arcane Trickster subclass can gain this feat, giving them a little more utility. The best invocation would be Mask of Many Faces, granting them unlimited uses of alter self. Misty Visions may be helpful, too, for infinite silent image casts.

Sorcerer: Great option to pick up Armor of Shadows for free mage armor whenever you want it.

Warlock: Warlocks get access to plenty of invocations, the only time a warlock would choose this feat would be when they plan on multiclassing but still need access to a particular invocation for their build.

Wizard: Great option to pick up Armor of Shadows for free mage armor whenever you want it. This is especially good for the School of Abjuration wizard as they'll get a free recharge of their Arcane Ward. Kind of like a mini "Spell Mastery" with a limited spell list.
