Dipping artificer gives a variety of spells, magic items, and regular bonus action usage. Overall it's arguably one of the best dips for a fighter. With just 3 levels you can increase your damage output via bonus action, provide yourself with any +1 weapon/shield/armor, and get access to the shield spell
That sounds great, but unlike other suggestions I have found on that site, it hasn’t offered me any specifics such as stats or subclasses. Is this a good idea? If so, can anyone explain to me how to make it work?
The best Artificer/Fighter Multiclass is to take at least 3 levels of either Armorer or Battle Smith then multiclass into either Eldritch Knight or Psi-Warrior. This eliminates the multi- attribute dependence inherent in those fighter sub-classes, allowing you to use your INT bonus instead of STR or DEX. Also, don't forget the Booming Blade or Green-Flame Blade cantrip that is available to the Artificer. It's a great fill-in until extra attack comes online.
