This guide shows a way to build a warlock/fighter who uses the subclasses the fiend and battlemaster to strike his foes down with devilish powers.
Attack your foes thrice with your melee weapon, using your superiority dices to hinder and dissable your opponents even more. Or help your allies with your patron's gifts by disabling them from afar or repelling them from your allies.

Build Name: The Blade of Frontiers
Race: Any
Background: Folk Hero (to be lore friendly) / Any








Playstyle Description:

• This Guide was created with Wylls archetype in mind. Be the hero of the simple folk by protecting your allies with your battle master abilities, while you lay waste upon your enemies with your fiendish patrons powers.
  
• This build allows you to strike your enemy three times with your melee attacks (tactician and below only), use up to 5 superiority dices (per short rest) from the Battlemaster subclass to hinder and disable opponents in close combat and use your Warlock spells to further disable enemies from afar or helping out allies by using repelling eldritch blasts to push them away.
  
• Due to the high charisma of this build, it even allows to be a sort of "face character" and better deals while bartering.
  
• There are some changes regarding extra attacks between honour mode and other difficulties, please look at the Notice down below.
