Elden Ring Character Classes

It is an open-world game where you can explore any direction, unlike the closed ones that force you to follow only the pre-defined route. Elden Ring contains no wrong way to get played. You must start with selecting your character because the selection will decide the statistics and the variety of weapons you can use in the game.

 

The character classes are only to recognize the initial features of the characters that can get changed freely as the game progresses. Elden Ring has 10 character classes that start with different levels. This article will explain more about them.

 


The Character Classes

You will come across several characters like Vagabond, Warrior, Hero, Bandit, Astrologer, Prophet, Samurai, Prisoner, Confessor, and Wretch. In that, Wretch is the most basic with minimum weapons and starts at level 1. However, select Vagabond as it will help you get more weapons if you are a beginner.

Each character will get associated with the default statistics. The players have decided their playing attitude, whether they want melee weapons, ranged, or combat.

So, beginners can do the same by going through the following list:


1) Vagabond

It is beginner-friendly with a Strength level of ‘14’ and a Dexterity level of ’13.’ You can attack faster and block your character easily due to the Heater Shield and Longsword. It comes with the highest level of Vigor (health) than all other classes. It provides the best physical damage reduction.

You will get the freedom to choose your weapons and shields. The Endure and Barricade Shield provide more defense, whereas, Wild Strikes, Cragblade, and War Cry provide help to take hits. This character starts comes with a heavy load of equipment. Remove the helmet to reduce the equipment load on your character.



2) Warrior

You may choose the Warrior if you want to play violently. It comes with the highest Dexterity and requirement of the weapon skills. You will not only block and take hits but will also dodge, use your shield, and parry. So, go with this class if you want to use fast-hitting weapons. However, you may find this class tough if you are new to action-playing or action-adventure games.



3) Hero

This character will perform slow attacks and handle heavy weapons. It will result in notable damage. It comes with the most strength. So, you may choose it for making strength builds. To handle more strength-based weapons, increase the Strength points.

This character will get accompanied by the Champion Gaiters, Bracers, Battle Axe, and more. Vagabond will be the optimal class if Hero’s Dexterity goes above 12.



4) Bandit

This class starts at level 5 and comes with the buckler, Shortbow, Great Knife, Bandit Mask, Boots, and Bone Arrow. It is the most difficult class for a beginner, besides Wretch. The Short Bow may help you a lot. However, it is one of the limited resources of the game.

The character will be weaker in the case of Arcane, and it will take a while to get boosted. Till then, you may continue with Vigor, Dexterity, and Mind. The stealth mechanism will be the positive feature of the character. This character class provides more versatility in the types of weapons with advanced types due to the higher dexterity. So, this class is balanced.




5) Astrologer

Astrologer starts at level 6 and has higher Mind, Intelligence, and Dexterity. It gets accompanied by the Glintstone Arc and Pebble, Astrologer’s Staff, Trousers, Gloves, and Short Sword. Elden Ring’s official website provides a guide to the use of every weapon.

You must know when to use the ranged spells and the battles as this class come with the lowest Vigor. You may struggle in the beginning. But, the meteorite staff will carry the Astrologer away.



6) Prophet

You will like this class if you are inclined towards incantations. It gets equipped with the catch flame and finger seal that will work successfully long after you start. You will find the Sacred Seals and other weapons as you progress. So, this class provides a versatile mix of melee-based combat and spells.

Use the shield, not the heavy gear in the case of the Prophet. So, short spears, swords, and parrying may come to your rescue. Shields will help you because this class has low defense.



7) Samurai

This class gets equipped with the Red Thorn Roundshield, Uchigatana, Fire Arrow, Longbow, and an arrow. Learn to use Unsheathe for this class as it is the most powerful skill. You will find it in the Katana (by default) and the Ashes of War. Have a medium load if you are a beginner.

Choose offense because this class does not have enough defensive techniques in the beginning. Samurai will have low Faith, Arcane, and Intelligence. But, focus on increasing Vigor as it will help the character increase defense power and HP.



8) Prisoner

Prisoner starts at the Soul level 9 and comes with low Arcane and Faith. On the one hand, it will become a tied Samurai if you increase the Dexterity. On the other hand, it will turn into a tied Astrologer if you decrease it. The Souls veteran will handle this class better than the beginners.

The prisoner’s attire does not protect against damage. So, armor will come to your rescue. Heavy armor will require smooth movement. So, heavy armor will be a worse option with this character.



9) Confessor

It is a well-balanced class. The ‘Urgent Heal’ spell has the most impact. It comes with enough Faith for incantations with full Physical Damage reduction. The movements are flexible, quick, and simple, and deal with the damage. It comes with the highest stats in the game.

You may use it as the hybrid class between any other class and Pyromancer. Using a blend of bows, daggers, and swords will help have an equal amount of Dexterity and Strength.



10) Wretch

Wretch gets associated with the club and memory of grace. The statistics are evenly distributed, and the character has no starting equipment except a wooden club. This character appears as a joke to several players. So, you may choose level 1 if you are looking for more challenges or are a veteran Soul player.

No armor will be available due to the nakedness of the character. Kill the enemies to get their armor and increase the character’s level.

 


Conclusion

Prophet and Confessor are the two most Faithful character classes. Prophet will be better in the case of Faith and Dexterity, and Vagabond in the case of Faith and Strength. Player freedom is important. So, making a few choices can be intimidating. As every character comes with different abilities, you cannot use the same skills every time.
