Is Archfey Warlock the worst?

[Selvokaz]

Im trying to see the good in it, but i dont. Fiend mkes for a decent Gish type warlock, Forgotten makes for a decent control type Warlock, but Archfey i dont know doesn't seem like a well built idea.

[Solomon Kane]

Yes

[VagabondSkies]

Overall I think Fiend would be the number 1 pick.

Worst out of the selection I would say mainly coz GOO and Fiend have some real nice passive benefits.

It has fairie fire, which can make a big difference in early fights. Misty escape makes you invisible, so you get an attack of opportunity when it procs. And Dominate Person can really turn the tides of battle. But in general, especially for a pact of the blade warlock that multiclasses before 9 (you definitely don't want to wait to multiclass until warlock 9) you are much better off with the fiend for aoe damage or GOO for crit/kill mortal reminder.

I started as Archfey and swapped to GOO when I multiclassed at 5 and think it worked well.

thanks started a new Drow Warlock and for Role Play reasons i thought Archfey made sense until i saw what they got and was like, nah.

ohhh defo not for a Drow as they get faerie fire anyway.

It is a really good spell but no reason to go Archfey as Drow.
