Elden Ring is a new FromSoftware RPG that gives players a choice of ten different starting character classes, each determining the player's starting stats, gear, and abilities. This guide is intended to help new players choose the best class for their needs, based on a thorough examination of each class's starting stats and equipment, as well as the type of playstyle they're best suited for.
All Elden Ring Classes
Before diving into each class's analysis, it's essential to have a good understanding of each origin in Elden Ring. In the table below, all ten Elden Ring classes, their starting stats, and level are listed, making it easy to compare them.
These starting stats are fixed for each class, and players cannot redistribute their points during character creation. However, they can choose their character's appearance and the Keepsake with which they begin. Therefore, players should carefully consider which class they choose based on their preferred style.
