Today we are going to explain for starters the best classes for strength, dexterity and magic builds in Elden Ring.

The new Soulslike game developed by FromSoftware is creating a big hype among gamers. Even before it was published, the game has acquired a legendary reputation based on a lengthy stretch of silence and several delays. If you want to learn more about Elden Ring scores and reviews visit our article. If you are not sure your PC is capable of running the game, system requirements and best settings are here. If you are willing to purchase the game, visit Steam. We’ve also prepared a guide explaining everything you need to know about Elden Ring’s character creation.

Best classes for Strength, Dexterity and Magic in Elden Ring

Starting classes were an important aspect of every Dark Souls game, and Elden Ring appears to be no exception. Fans may already begin planning out their ideal Tarnished adventure before the official launch date thanks to early leaks from the game.

Best classes for strength builds in Elden Ring

The brawny starting class for your first playthrough makes sense because builds that build up strength have historically been some of the greatest alternatives in the Dark Souls series. The Hero has the highest starting strength stats in Elden Ring with 16 points. It also has the lowest dexterity at 9, just to mention.

The Vagabond and Confessor are also excellent alternatives if you’re looking for more unusual designs. Vagabond has the highest vigor points at the start and the class can equip weapons including a longsword and a halberd. The Confessor is equipped with 14 faith, making them excel at miracles. In the Lands Between, the ability to heal with spells and move silently will be useful.

Best classes for dexterity builds in Elden Ring

In most From Software games, dexterity has a good reputation. DEX also gives access to some of the Dark Souls franchise’s coolest weapons, so those who want to be different in Elden Ring should look at the Warrior. Warrior has 16 dexterity at the start and has balanced strength, endurance, and vigor points. So it’s always a solid pick.

Bandit is a good option for dexterity classes in Elden Ring. With 13 dexterity, it has 14 arcane and 11 mind, making it an excellent mage as well. Elden Ring fans who are looking for a pure melee dexterity character might want to try out a Samurai start. This has excellent starting statistics but moderate intelligence and faith. If you don’t want to cast any spells, go for Samurai.

Best classes for magic builds in Elden Ring

Elden Ring‘s magic appears to be divided into two categories: sorceries and incantations. The former is related to intelligence, while the latter is based on faith. They also seem to belong naturally in the roles of attackers and defenders, although there will undoubtedly be many exceptions. Melee weapons rely on those statistics scale as well, and every caster needs a backup weapon.

The Astrologer is an excellent mage with its 16 intelligence and 15 mind stats, making it ideal for spellcaster lovers. Both Glintstone Pebble and Arc provide the offensive capability, but the backup shortsword and shield should come in useful. Their sluggish vigor and endurance can be improved later in the game.

The Prophet appears to be the starting class for Elden Ring faith builds based on statistics. Despite its notoriety as a poor Dark Souls 3 build, From Software has modified it to be more advantageous in the open-world game. The Prophet boasts balanced attributes, including a high mind and 16 faith. They also start with the Catch Flame skill, which is the first available pyromancy.

Why would you play Wretch in Elden Ring?

The Elden Ring’s early class selection is scarily full of powerful fighters, which makes the Wretch stand out. With 10 strength and a tiny club, the Wretch appears to be a severe downgrade when compared to the rest.

In previous Souls games, there has always been a character class known as the Deprived. He or she also started with abysmally low stats and no specialization. Just because it has a balanced stat spread means that players can completely personalize their Elden Ring statistic build to their liking. 10 isn’t all that bad when you consider that many classes begin with just 7 in certain stats.
